Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think lying around and whining promotes healing, personally.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think lying around and whining promotes healing, personally.

There was a study a while back that proved scientifically that swearing helps with pain - I see no reason not to extend that principle to whining as well.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think lying around and whining promotes healing, personally.

That explains why I'm feeling so much better today, because I whined plenty yesterday.

So it looks like my days as a pork eater have come to an end. Hubby can't eat pork, so I indulge at lunch and breakfast at work. And have had various internal issues. The possible correlation dawned horribly on me several weeks ago, so I've been running experiments of pork exclusion (sob). Today, due to the chaos of moving to a new office building, I've had to resort to an old pork-based breakfast--and paid the price.

Thank you, Lord and Lady, for poultry based bacon, sausage, and ham, otherwise life would lose a great deal of joy.

I should get a grant to study this, obviously.

Beef ribs, too, are excellent.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Beef ribs, too, are excellent.

Oh goodness yes. As is lamb sausage.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There was a study a while back that proved scientifically that swearing helps with pain - I see no reason not to extend that principle to whining as well.

Good call.

My life would lose so much joy without any pork in it! Pork is my favorite. Sorry, Connie.

I wonder if I've always had a pork sensitivity and just didn't realize it or if it came on as I ate less because of Hubby.

And yes, I concur on the yumminess of lamb. Is there really enough meat on ribs to make it worth the mess and fussing with bones?

I've had some very tasty lamb ribs. It's much richer than beef or pork, so the smaller amount of meat on the bone is perfect.
