No, they were tagalongs and samoas. The thin mints were fine. The tagalongs tasted waxy.

Current office argument: How many continents are there, really, and how are they defined? Ocean-separation vs. tectonic plates vs. what we were taught in school.

I really like my co-workers.

Hey, Teppy, there's a place called The Macaron Store in Cuyahoga, Ohio!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Samoas are my favorite. They are like candy.

Samoas are my favorite. They are like candy.

I'm not a fan of coconut, so I don't love Samoas. Tagalongs on the other hand, are like unto crack for me. I'm not sure if meara's review means I will avoid them to avoid heartbreak, or rush out and pick some up, y'know, for testing, and like, quality control.

Trefoils. My one true cookie that's not a macaroon or a perfect chocolate chip cookie. But the one true chocolate chip cookie is warm and gooey, so it's hard to get.

Thrive to spite them

I like Samoas but honestly the Keebler version is probably better (and cheaper)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Thin Mints.

Have CPAP machine and some vitamin supplements. The sleep specialists warned us not to go right toned as soon as we got home and that is the only reason I'm not.

Also bought chocolate, because I am a sucker for heart-shaped chocolate.

Congrats on the good review, Connie! Live it up!

Thanks for checking in, NOLA people. I'm glad you're ok.

I've never gotten the thin mint thing. Then again, I'm not fond of mint and chocolate chip ice cream either, so maybe I'm just weird. More for y'all.

Re: continents. Yeah, the Europe/Asia split seems more historical and/or cultural than anything that stands out when you look at a map.

There's (at least) one thing that's not objectively the worst thing about 45, but it's still a problem. I've been sick since before the inauguration. All the cold meds I've seen have had big ol' liver damage warnings on them. So I've been living through the first weeks of 45's administration completely unable to drink. Thank Gaia the cold's clearing up. We're not even halfway through the cabinet yet.

Samoas are my favorites, but frozen Thin Mints are also a worthy indulgence.

Because of the DeVos confirmation, I just rage-gave to a high school history class in Alabama via Donors Choose after carefully reading the teacher's prior projects and concluding he's a pretty awesome teacher who's most likely not indoctrinating his classes with right-wing views. This is in addition to my standing rage-gift monthly rotation of the Trevor Project, SPLC, 350.org, and the Committee to Protect Journalists. I have a feeling this will be a pattern with me throughout 45's administration.
