Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Our wings are not tired.

Closing is in 2 weeks!

That is so awesome that the repairs are being done quickly with no arguments. This is clearly meant to be. So excite!

Gris, I am sensing a business opportunity.

I've never consumed iced coffee. I drink a lot of coffee, like way too much, but black and hot. Maybe some day I'll try iced, but I don't like coffee ice cream so not expecting to like it.

Note to self: can't live with Teppy. Spoiler font for Teppy's protection. I have been known to walk around the house while brushing my teeth. Often.

That was a roller coaster day, Connie. I suspect the "you're not supposed to do that" message is just local to your machine and not reported. Just a block message.

Ick, fire! I'm not a freak about it, but I do at least unplug things like the toaster and basic safety stuff like that. Have the hose next to me when I have a bonfire outside and hose off all the surrounding grass and trees before a start a fire.

My mom was super paranoid about fire and was always nervous when she smelled smoke, which happens often here in the Adirondacks because people burn trash outside or have bonfire often. And it happens a lot in Florida with sugar cane burning and the Everglades on fire during droughts. When Mom lost her sense of smell in her 80s we would smile to ourselves when we smelled smoke because she was unaware and wouldn't be upset by it. She used to joke that she must have been burned at the stake in a past life.

My baby boy is 25 today. He and the wifey are on a mini-vaca in a cabin at a ski mountain in Gatlinburg TN. She was messaging me pictures last night.

What is even happening?

Happy giving birth day, Laura!

That's quite a day you had there, Connie.

If you don't like coffee ice cream, you probably wouldn't like it. I don't have my iced coffee as sweet as ice cream, but it's definitely in the same flavor profile. I love iced coffee with cream (never milk) and sugar, even though I drink my morning coffee hot, black, and unsweetened.

Reader, Tim is still alive simply because I know I'm not cut out for prison.

A wise man marries a woman too pretty for jail.

A fool tests that proposition.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I usually drink my hot or iced coffee with milk and sweetener, but am also fine losing either of those additions. Straight black is a little much for me.

I thought iced coffee was a New England thing, so am I wrong, or has it spread?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I drink iced coffee every morning from some time in April through October-ish. Hot coffee is only for cold weather.

When did you start drinking it? Googling didn't help me much, but I did find a thing about Dunkin that said they only sold iced coffee in Rhode Island at first.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I can remember in high school not being able to get iced coffee anywhere but RI. I graduated in 95.

As you know Bob, my mother is from Rhode Island, and I grew up drinking coffee milk -- with or without Autocrat (without, it was just a quarter coffee/three-quarters milk).

At least 20 years ago. I mean, I just made it at home. I don't really remember the first time I got it in a Starbucks or other coffee place.
