The mousepad on my laptop is broken. I don't have a setup with enough room to use a mouse. How many million dollars will it cost to repair? Grr.

If you find the answer, please share. I have the same issue with my personal laptop. I have adapted to using a mouse with it, but I'd rather get the pad working again. Actually, in my case, the pad itself is fine, it is the buttons that have stopped clicking.

Ugh. I am all against anti-trans sentiment, but the fool in the comments here is making me want to smack her. For the love of god, I'm allowed to not like dick. If that makes me a horrible anti-trans person then so be it.

I so want a vodka gimlet with ginger syrup. Or to find a local bar that will make that for me.

Javachik, let's find a local bar who will do that.

Except not tonight, because I just had a homemade Pisco sour, and I clearly make them too strong.

Also, why isn't Falling Skies a better show? t whines

Or to find a local bar that will make that for me.

Try the Hotsy Totsy in Albany. That might not be particularly local for you.

Or the Alembic in the Haight?

Still not very close.

Downtown Oakland has some cocktailian bars...

Oh, god, that sounds amazing.

It is SO good. I make my own syrup, then strain out the slices of ginger, sprinkle them with sugar and use them to garnish the glass (homemade candied ginger, basically). A little extra effort, but I'm worth it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

While there had been strain on the marriage, the final straw was finding out he had been molesting their daughter.

How truly awful. I am sorry.

He's aware that this is NOT carnitas, no? I mean, clearly not. But wow. He's not bright and I am shocked he can function in a real job.

I would like all of the cocktails tonight. Preferably the delicious ones. But I am not going to be picky right now.

I'm thinking of breaking into my stash of Fernet.

when I don't feel like the effort, my quick cocktail is bourbon and San Pelligrino lemon soda. The tanginess of the lemon and the sweetness of the bourbon are lovely.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Suzi, that's horrific. I wish strength and healing to your friend and her daughter. Also, I hope that man's balls fall off.
