Miss Manners suggests standing up and saying "It's been lovely to visit with you, I so look forward to your next visit" or something like that. Can you use the baby and some activity/maintenance as an excuse?
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Apparently taking my baby back worked. I don't really mind them coming every week, but I enjoy our hour of snuggle time before TCG gets home, and I want my baby back.

I would like to someday be referred to as something cool like ""the "Indiana Jones" of ancient fermented beverages."

I keep looking at meal delivery services, and then not signing up because they seem sort of wasteful for my purposes. I have fresh veg delivered already, and I have a pantry filled with herbs, spices, and dry goods. What I really want are organic proteins to be delivered to my house every week with recipes. Just for three meals a week. The rest of the week we tend to eat leftovers or vegetarian meals.

Tea: I'm looking at sun basket right now because I've seen some good reviews of it, but for every recipe I have about half of the ingredients already. So it seems wasteful to sign up.

Yeah, if you already get veggies delivered, Sun Basket isn't going to be that much help to you. We use Sun Basket, and have been pretty happy with them.

We have a local CSA that delivers salad fixings, potatoes, carrots, and fruit every other week and I can add on whatever else they have as needed. And I enjoy my weekly trip to the farmers market as well, but meat is limited there.

I didn't actually meet Ray's daughter, though I'm going to just pretend she was the Elder Style lady with tattoos on her arms.
