Chiming in late, as usual ... but someone (Beverly?) asked about putting butterscotch chips in oatmeal cookies. The answer, from my experience, is YES. I had a great recipe for oatmeal cookies but my sister hated raisins (it called for raisins and nuts). So I tried butterscotch chips instead of raisins (left the nuts in - pecans in this case) and she was good with that.

And - since I'd prefer to keep the noms separate - mumps have made a comeback. (Reminded by the post about flu shots.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Our family usually manages to vaccinate only 3 out of 4 members, so no judging from my corner.

mumps have made a comeback.
Raaaaaaaaaage. And that reminds me I am massively overdue for a Tdap booster.
t edit Huh. I didn't realize the CDC recommends the shingles vaccine only for people over 60. I don't want to get shingles, dang it!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Eee! Eee! I've been idly trying to scam--I mean, strategize--my way into a trip to the Caribbean this winter, and it might actually happen!

Okay, I now have birthday cards and gift cards for the other January babies in my family (it's me and my in-laws, basically), because the other night my mom announced that we'd be celebrating those birthdays the Saturday after Christmas.
They are getting gift cards because I'm already uncertain how I'm going to fit all the Christmas presents in my suitcase.
I'm trying really hard not to be miffed that my name has been left off the "full list" of volunteers at the event I was helping with on Friday. I didn't do it for the kudos, but now I kinda feel like I'm invisible. Does that make sense?

Yep, totally makes sense.

That definitely makes sense.

These days I use the term "social immunity" rather than "herd immunity" because "I/my kids are not part of anybody's herd!" is part of anti-vax propaganda. Dunno if it does any good or not.
