Peach Schnapps!

I will see your Peach Schnapps and raise you...a third can of pineapple juice.

I'm going through a pile of Hubby's old magazines, old issues from when he was a teenager doing plastic models of planes, ships, etc. It was a passion of his as a kid, a portable hobby for a kid in a military family. A few issues of this magazine go for a couple of bucks each on eBay, and I keep thinking I should try to sell them. That's countered with a cost analysis of effort vs. return, countered again by a desire for someone in the world to recognize what Hubby did in his life. It's so fucking hard to separate things that I need to clear out from the man I want to world to recognize and mourn along with me.

For the, like, 3 people who aren't on FB and haven't already seen it....Hardest ever Buffy quiz. It really is embarassingly difficult. BUT...highly recommend retaking it to get a high score for the lovely GIF of shirtless BreakfastSpike.

If you would like some help with the more ridic questions... when in doubt, choose the first option. Except for the date Faith woke up, that's #2. Joyce's card was from Brian.

I am trapped in a phonecall with my teenage niece. I don't even know what we're talking about anymore. We've gone through henna tattoos to her weird dreams to um, boys named Mailer and Task, which may be teen-girl-pr0n she's writing. And there's a witch that keeps coming up. I am praying her mom will arrive home soon.

Ah, Vortex, the more I learn about your dad, the more I think he was the bee's knees.

Yep, I was very lucky to have had him. Whenever I miss him, I can't help but smile at the same time.

Wow. New way in which my workplace has decided to try and control employees. A very unsettling email was sent to everyone saying that one of the hi up muckety mucks is on 'leave' for an indeterminate time. Ok, odd, I guess it's good that we know who is gonna run things in the meantime so I can understand why this information was circulated. But that was followed with "In the interim, I expect that you will immediately bring to my attention, or the attention of the appropriate supervisor, any instances that you become aware of whereby this information becomes a topic of gossip or speculation by any ...employee. Such instances may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination."

Soooooooo......I get that no one wants us gossipping...but I work with very smart, sharp people who are trained to infer criminal activity from vague statements. That^^ I read as "something scandalous happened but if you ask anyone what happened you will be fired." Which pisses me off to no end. Thanks, ThoughtPolice, I'll try to NOT have my interest piqued by statements that can have no result other than to stir the pot.

Wow, that is annoying, erin. Something like that would make me way more curious than just "This person is on leave."

The frozen food place that I've been ordering from accidentally sent me two weeks worth of food this week, rather than just one. Which, cool, free food, but also, not so much freezer space. (Also, while this food is pretty good, and it's definitely a help to have pre-made food for the next few months, I really want to know why they have a space on the order form for food allergies, if they send stuff containing those allergens anyway.)

What service is this? I am loving my SoupCycle subscription (which is soup, delivery weekly, via bicycle, because Portland.) A quart of vegan soup every week, and sometimes I'll add on the 'soup of the week' or the veggie soup and get 2 quarts and that's up to 8 meals if I expand it with some crusty bread or lotsa steamed kale. I've found that very few soups (at least the vegan kind I get) suffer from a handful of washed, chopped kale tossed in so that it steams as the soup heats.

And yeah, I normally wouldn't care in the least why a high-up muckity muck is on leave. Tell me that I can't ask or discuss and all of sudden i'm on high SCANDAL!!!! alert.

A supervisor just got nosy about a conversation i was having with a coworker re the lovely quilt on the wall which just unfortunately happens to look like an enormous swastika. We are so being surveilled.
