I don't get blush and bashful. Isn't that shades of pink?

Thrive to spite them

Connie, yes. The line is from Steel Magnolias - Julia Roberts character's wedding colors weren't just any pink, but blush and bashful.

Ah. Julia Roberts gives me the creeps. That would explain why I didn't know that.

I'm sorry, sarameg. He sounded like a cool uncle.

I'm uncomfortable with the people like John Oliver who are focusing on mocking Paula Deen's weight or even her love of butter, because it takes away from the real problem, her casual racism. There was no "of course" to the use of the n-word by polite Southerners in her lifetime. I never heard my 87-year-old mother use it or her mother, both born and raised in Tennessee.

Good call on the cocktail, y'all. I only had 3 oz of wine left in the bottle, it turns out. Which is fine, especially since I had that second cocktail.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Sounds like the start of one of Grandpa Jones's routines. Yum, yum!

Mmm, that sounds good.

I had chicken soup (in addition to the cocktails and wine). I make some good soup, if I do say so myself.

I decided to harvest the catnip in the hanging basket as a summer solstice treat. There are varying levels of bonker-ness so far, but the funniest to me is the dog being all "where's mine?" Poor Walter, I don't know of any dognip.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

It wasn't even casual racism though. She is being sued for a hostile work environment for people of color in her restaurant establishments. I can only imagine the kind of bullshit her employees had to put up with.
