I tested, and yes, I still love the Havarti.

Last Sunday I went to a local cheese tasting

That sounds delish. When I fly and don't plan ahead I end up ordering the cheese plate on the plane, and it's kind of sad that I don't know what cheese is what, so I can't take advantage of falling in love.

Hil, meara, do you have name signs? What are they?

Yoinks. I did that thing that broke my ankle a couple years ago. I didn't break it again, but I might have wrenched it. My breakfall was pretty solid, though.

Okay, lemme get ACE and ICE.

Either cheering from Hopkins or freakishly human sounding geese just happened and scared my cats off the deck.

Hil, meara, do you have name signs? What are they?

I don't. In theory you aren't supposed to come up with your own, it's supposed to be given to you...

CJ's name sign is one hand cupped to the side of the face next to the eye, like horse blinders. And yes, that is the meaning behind his sign - the cupped hand is a C and the association with blinders is cause he needs to pay attention.

My friends who have name signs (both are interpreters), both had names given to them. Sandy has a very pretty smile, and her name sign is "S" signed next the mouth to indicate her dimples. Samantha has really curly hair, ner name sign is "S" in a corkscrew next to her face to indicate her curls.

Put me in the favorite cheese is cheese crowd. Too many to winnow it down to one.

When I fly and don't plan ahead I end up ordering the cheese plate on the plane, and it's kind of sad that I don't know what cheese is what, so I can't take advantage of falling in love.

Sounds like the cheese manufacturers are missing out on a marketing opportunity.

I hope your ankle feels better this morning, ita.

You WOULD all talk about CHEESE, the substance I crave and cannot have.

::sniffs bravely, moves up plan to try making vegan cheese::

Timelies all!

We have hot water! Finally got someone out here around 6:30 yesterday.

If it's wrong to love cheese I don't want to be right.
