Oh, yes. Boy cousins. I forget people have those.

Me too! He's my only one on both sides, including my generation and their kids. Oh wait, there is a boy child of a first cousin of mine in California. See? I forget!

Just curious. They have pretty much the same (multitudinous) offerings, I think.

Man, I used to love selling swiss army knives. So many fiddly options to choose between.

I know my mom was taught to make martinis for my grandfather, although in our house bartending consisted of getting my dad a beer from the fridge (which we certainly did very young). Just not a cocktail kind of household. I feel like people mention that kind of things in a "ha, ha, of course we don't do that" tone these days.

And I realize that I have never taken the legal drinking age seriously, that's just the culture I grew up in, so maybe you shouldn't listen to me on corkscrews appropriateness.

I wish I could get one that wasn't ginormous with scissors, phillips head, and a corkscrew, but I think that is not possible.

Take a look at Leatherman tools, Jesse.

Go Victorinox, choose Victorinox.

I still have my old Super Tinker, but my regular pocket knife for the last ten years has been a Leatherman Squirt S4.

I don't like how the Leatherman looks so much, but I guess it's not about that, huh?

Yeah, for all three I think you start to get pretty massive. The corkscrew and the phillips head each takes up more space than most blades.

I wish that I'd discovered this a month ago: Cryomax Coldpack (from Target). Advertised to last 8 hours. I'd be happy with any non-leaky coldpack that lasted more than twenty minutes. Now I'm on hour two without having had to put it back in the freezer. And that's been my issue with icing my ankle: nothing lasts long enough, have to wait for it to rechill, forget from the waiting, or don't bother cuz it doesn't last long enough.

Bring on the frostbite, baybee!

Last time I checked, botulism toxin was still a toxin. In controlled amounts under medical supervision it can have positive uses (though I don't think paralyzed facial muscles and frozen expressions are a positive use for actresses), just like chemotherapy chemicals, but that doesn't make it not poison.

Last I checked, the same can be said of every other medication, and most food. Toxicity is measured by dosage and application, not chemical components.

Oh, hey, I did find coffee! An ancient can of decaf in my freezer. Kind of sad, but I am having a cup. I don't even know why. I went and got my annual gingerbread latte this morning, so I shouldn't be that desperate.
