What the fuck is wrong with all you cereal mixing weirdos?

My thoughts exactly! I went to all that effort to get caught up on Natter only to learn half of you are cereal mixing weirdos. The horror.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It's never occurred to me to mix cereals. I don't eat cereal very often, though I did when I was a kid. I liked Captain Crunch, which now I can't stand. I haven't made much of an effort to keep milk in the fridge since I don't cook. Though now that I've switched from half-and-half to whole milk in my coffee, those boxes of cereal I buy for my sister might not go stale.

I'm supposed to be getting ready to go to Board Game Night, but I don't want to. It's cold and dark and I want to nest on the couch.

Our wings are not tired.

Ooops, DH was doing work in the laundry room pulling out the water heater to put a pan under it and reroute the dryer vent and stuff. So he is hammering at the plaster wall and hit the water main line. Inconvenient enough to happen on a Saturday night, but in 2 hours we should be leaving to go see a show and we are both sweaty and nasty. We may have to go to the gym to shower and change.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Does anyone have a daughter born in March that would appreciate/want a porcelain doll. This was made by Russ is called "Months to Remember: March". No idea why or when this got into my doll collection as a kid.

Looks like this: [link]

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Huh. I'd never considered mixing cereal. I mix a lot of things (fruit, nuts, etc.) into cereal, but not other cereals.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh good lord. I was cautiously optimistic because my cat didn't throw up yesterday, I think (there are corners I haven't checked) and then I get home just now and (gross) she puked blood again AND a chunk of something creepy looking. She's acting OK, so I'm not rushing to the emergency vet, but should I be? Because of course my regular vet is closed tomorrow.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Ugh, Jesse. It's hard to know with cats. If she's acting normal I might wait but mine are extremely vet averse.

Re: cereal, I only have oats and Farina. I may buy some Kelloggs stuff to donate though.

Jesse, I would find the blood concerning, but it sounds like she does that a lot. As long as she's eating and not hunched over, I'd probably give it a day.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Cereal mixing is the main problem in my marriage. My DH mixes. He no longer mixes ALL the cereals without asking, though, after I threw an operatic, melodramatic shitfit about cereal mixing and trust.

You cannot mix In Box!!

It just started last week-ish.

OK, thanks, guys! I am afraid she has cancer or similar Big Problem which I wouldn't actually treat, so I am disinclined to bring her in to the vet, but will call on Monday if she doesn't seem worse tomorrow.
