Holy shit! You know what you don't want to read in an email from your kids' school? This:
Today, at approximately 7:35 AM, an adult male made telephone threats to law enforcement agencies that he would commit shootings at various school sites.
Apparently their school was on lockdown for a brief while as law enforcement sorted it all out. No shooters, no shooting, everyone is safe. My overwhelming feelings right now are relief and gratitude, but yipes! I don't want to live in a world where pipe bombs and school shooting threats become the norm.
Holy shit, Burrell! I'm so glad there was no actual danger.
Jesus, Burrell! I read your post about the explosives before I had to run back to work and get a loaner (the disk is now unrecoverable--rescuscitating it long enough to get data off was a miracle), and of course, Overland is a) my route home and b) blocked at that time. Never mind the two accidents on the 405 already. Waste of a day.
Hey--SodaStreamers--do you flavour by the bottle after you've fizzed? Or do you flavour by the glass or a different container? What are you flavouring with? How long is the bottle acceptably fizzy?
Yikes, people. Stop sucking so bad. (Not Buffistas, all those other people out there.)
OMG, Burrell! I'm glad there was no actual danger.

I flavor by glass, usually with a smidge of whatever syrup flavor I want (usually rose or violet) and some bitters. Right now my favorite combinations are rose with chocolate bitters, or violet with cardamom bitters.
Burrell,
I think they arrested the guy.
I flavor by the bottle if I'm using their syrups, and I have the glass bottles, so the fizzy lasts a good long time.
I flavor by the glass if I'm doing something else, and certainly if I'm doing juice or whatever.
Inside, thank dog. (Or rather, FU dog who thinks now is a perfect time to go OUT.)
I flavor by the glass. I'm never certain how to effectively clean the glass bottles if I flavor in the bottle. Fizz lasts about a week maybe. I usually drink it much, much faster.
After talking with my brother last night, the goal is safety and happiness rather than actual improvements in her health.
I think this is the kindest goal for everyone, including your mother. Keep her as safe as possible and as calm and happy as possible.
