I have encountered people napping in the lactation room at my (former) workplace twice. In both cases I wanted to use the lactation room for its designated purpose, and had to ask the napper to leave so I could do so. You can imagine how annoying this was. Especially since one of the nappers was somebody's 10 year old kid.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
cholic ginger ale/beer with lemon sorbet is amazing.
Ooh. OK, I would be willing to try that and see if it wins me over.
Sorry to hear about Thor, Gud.

I think the point is that the word "beer" was confusing the non-Americans.
Yeah. I ended up saying that it was just a weird American thing.
It reminds me of the time I was explaining tortilla chips to some Europeans in the late 90s. They thought it was some sort of breakfast cereal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, Gud, I'm sorry.

My aunt's 20yo cat Sylvia was put to sleep this week. She's the one that I've cat-sat several times, nervously aware she could die on my watch. It seems like high summer is bad for pet mortality.

Ann, that's a ferret.
All condolences, Theodosia. Sounds like Sylvia had a good run.

Housemate's cat had a sort-of stroke on Monday morning that paralyzed him, so Housemate made the call. Happy Cat had a good run.

I don't know why I feel like alcoholic root beer is okay but alcoholic ginger ale is not
I actually liked the alcoholic ginger beer better than the root beer. Though I haven't tried that many varieties.
Flea, I would be annoyed by a coworker because it's awkward to make them leave, but a 10 year old I'd kick out without compunction. You don't even work there, kid! Go nap under moms desk?

Alcoholic root beer is now a thing and is delicious!
I tried the alcoholic orange soda at a liquor store a while back. Very sweet but might be nice mixed with something else.
Not all ginger beer is alcoholic, is it?
