Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
In semi-related news, it's okay that I added a shot of vodka to my post-workout fruit/protein smoothie, right?
Absolutely! I'm pretty sure I read on the internet (convenient how I don't have to say '"I read somewhere " anymore since everywhere is on the internet now) how drinking a glass of wine was just like working out, and also that any alcohol gives you the same benefits as wine, so you just doubled your workout's effectiveness. QED
All we had was weather coverage on every channel so I missed all my Thursday shows.
I was surprised to see it was so close to Rockford. That's my dad's hometown. I was name-familiar with many places mentioned in the news.
Pumpkin is mesmerized by video on the mini. In fact, she can tell when the audio is coming from it and not radio or TV and will come running to watch over my shoulder.

Vodka is good for you! Scads of nonogenarian babushkas can't be wrong!

I was just lamenting something similar the other weekend at dinner with Zenkitty, Kate, and Amyth. I fondly remember my days of not getting drunk after pounding cocktails all night to help use up the bar tab in Madison, or throwing back a Sazerac and contemptuously exclaiming it wasn't even 80 proof after Joe warned me about them in New Orleans.
The last time I drank it took exactly one glass of absinthe-laced proseco to feel buzzed.
I took a vacation day so I could visit friends but made the mistake of reading work email in the morning which made me want to punch someone in the throat. I decided that person will just have to wait til Monday. So I did Pilates, showered, packed and hit the road in time to watch the sunset over the Grand Traverse Bay. Since then I've hung out with friends, met their adorable foster baby, and had a soak in the jacuzzi in my room. I plan to watch the sun rise from my bed.
