I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am trying to start the fly lady stuff.

do those of you that use her actually have a control journal? I am thinking that a control center on one of my fridges my work for me, but not something like she is suggesting that I would carry around in my purse, my purse is too full as it is.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Damn, and here I was getting intrigued that there's actually an Intimacy store in downtown Boston. What kind of lingerie store doesn't carry soft-cups?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

To be honest, I don't know that I've even seen two women in the cockpit of a commercial flight.

I kind of hate how it's still always exiting to have a female pilot! Once, I can't remember if both pilots were female, but the main one definitely was, and the head flight attendant was a man, so the announcements were all unexpected.

Exactly. I wish this wasn't a novelty. OTOH, I'm glad it's happening.

Used to be that way with women doctors, which is hard to imagine now.

Exciting news! I finally booked a week+ off work! I'm going out of town for the weekend at the start, and my mother's out of town for a day+ in the middle so I can do some coverage with my dad there (and not have to deal with also working) and ALSO relax! Am excite.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have to admit I hadn't noticed the Intimacy underwire thing because I only wear underwire. That is a bit odd. However, since I find underwire very comfortable (I sleep in that shit), match made in booby heaven for me.

Does agave have a more complex sugar than, well, sugar does?

It's mainly fructose, which is low-index. You also have the convert-to-fat thing, but since not trying to lose weight, less of a concern.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

To be honest, I don't know that I've even seen two women in the cockpit of a commercial flight.

On a flight a couple of weeks ago, the two pilot names given were both female, and I swear I actually caught myself thinking, "They must have meant Christopher and not Christine." WTF, brain??

Coconut palm sugar is awesome. Similar to brown sugar in taste.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I feel like some of those new sugar alcohol sweeteners (like maltitol and xylitol) must be working some kind of dark magic, because they taste pretty much like sugar to me. But maybe that's a low carb thing, not a low glycemic index thing?

SLOW INTERNET DAY. And I didn't plan as far ahead as lunch--I turned someone down because a) me, and b) haven't even thought about what will be satisfying other than a burger where I toss the bun and stare sadly at the fries (why do only some sites say sweet potatoes count?)

I think I'm going to give coconut palm sugar a try because if nothing else, reading makes it sound like it's extra tasty. And being low glycemic without the high fructose would be nice? I don't even know anymore. Everyone is a bullshitter, everyone has an agenda. And coconut people don't want you to like the sugar because ONE TREE CANNOT PRODUCE COCONUTS AND SUGAR. Although sources (aka a web page) say coconut trees were meant to produce coconut (it's in the name! der!) and not sugar, I am interested in removing coconuts from the market. Sugar ahoy!

(Can alcohols be made out of these sugar mashes like rum is made from cane?)
