Cocoa powder betrayal? Huh, I totally wouldn't have thought that was likely! I would've also gone "meh, expirations are for things that mold"
We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero!

Oh, no Consuela! I would not have thought cocoa powder would do you like that.

I don' t know what else it could have been, but I didn't eat anything else and started feeling bad only an hour after the hot chocolate. That said, I threw away the pie crust I was making, just in case it was contagious.

Ugh no, consuela. Bad cocoa seems like an affront.

There's a version of strep going around here that manifests in puking, so be careful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was going to say something about this on tumblr, but realized I'd rather say it here: [link] It's 100% true that you guys fill the role in my life that my mother's church plays in hers!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
That seems about right, Jesse. Interestingly enough from my viewpoint with all the cons now and the constant access to the "talent" that fandoms have they are more flash in the pan and flighty. Often more about the "talent" than the product. I cannot imagine that we would have formed as solidly if there had been twitter and tumblr.

Yup.
One of the things that I retained from some history class or other was that whatever period we were looking at (18th or 19th century Europe, probably) was marked by a transition from people belonging to a community determined mostly by geography and class towards people belonging to societies determined by shared interests and/or goals that might cut across class and span greater geographical areas, and that seems to be even more true today.

That's interesting, msbelle.
ETA: I should read Bowling Alone, I think it might help me solidify some of my ideas about this stuff.

Oh, that's really interesting!
I think Bowling Alone is actually bullshit?
