We need a good slang word for ovaries.

I like "ovarios", you've got some good R rolling in there for emphasis.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

All good luck, Dana.

Closed door sounds good, Rebecca.

Did I tell y'all my squirrel story? H used to bring lunch to my office and eat with me. We'd sometimes go to the nearby park. We'd never been to the small amphitheater, so this time we went there, sat on one of the high concrete seats, with the stage below us. We were enjoying our meal, and movement caught my eye. On the lowest step was a squirrel. I pointed him out, and kept eating. A few minutes later, there were two more squirrels and a chipmunk, shiny black beady eyes fastened on us. A minute later, there were more, and they were climbing. By the second, more squirrels and a few chipmunks appeared, and moved slowly, inexorably, up the tiers of seats toward us.

I had pulled the top piece of bread off my sandwich (less starch, fewer carbs), and while H got our stuff together, I tore the bread into pieces and then scrunched the pieces smaller. As we stood to go, I flung the breadcrumbs at the mob, and we fled.

I've never looked at squirrels and chipmunks quite the same way.

Out of curiosity, what would everyone say the ingredients of a Philly steak & cheese sandwich should be?

Grilled steak, onion, peppers in a hoagie with cheese whiz.

Here's another food question.

I need to make a chicken fajitas seasoning. Two restrictions are that I cannot use chili powder or cumin. I'm thinking, okay, crushed red pepper can replace the chili powder so I have crushed red pepper, some onion powder, some garlic powder, a little bit of sugar, and a little sea salt. The natural other ingredient for fajitas would be cumin, so what replaces it? Would some ginger be crazy?

Mac is being extra special verbally abusive today and I'm starting to have an anxiety attack at work, I really just don't want to go home in 3 hours. I just needed to say that somewhere. My family is burnt out on my venting and there is nothing to do, but let time pass. Thank this place for being a safe place to dump.
