They do make ghost pepper and Carolina Reaper microwave popcorn: [link]

Because books.

I am such a wimp with spicy food, as in I can't eat any of it. Like, some things at Taco Bell are too hot for me. ::sheepish:: So Carolina Reaper, whatever that is, paired with ghost peppers... Yikes.

That would indeed make a nice Buffista compound. Though we'd have to set up a rotation for that lake view arched window reading nook in photo #29.

Matt, I'm sure the personal injury attorney will tell you that whiplash can appear long after the actual accident.

In the past I've found that the aches and pains from collisions really show up in force on the second morning following, but at a week out from my wreck I'm fairly confident that all is well. The impact didn't actually feel worse than going over a speed bump, it just came with more sounds of buckling metal than I'd have liked.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Can anyone help me with a gut check on this story? I can't decide if it's Good Stuff or if the sadness part makes it gross: [link]

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

I think the happening is good stuff but the way it is written up is a little gross?

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Aw, shrift, Jim and Ken will be all over that. I guess I could not share the link?

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Yeah, Lisa and I had been hoping to have a big party for our twentieth wedding anniversary in April of this year.

(Twenty years! It seems like last week, somehow.)

But we're still here, still together, and a bunch of the friends who helped us celebrate back then are still with us. So maybe we just postpone the bash until our 25th. Or just throw an extra-big "Olly Olly Oxen Free" party in a couple of years once it stops feeling post-apocalyptic out there.

Thrive to spite them

Only one baby bunny made it through the night and probably won't make it. They showed signs of being in the sun for too long and so I'm thinking maybe they crawled out of the nest in search for the mama...

At work we have having Black Friday in July week instead of just for the weekend and it was very very slow. Online orders seem to have picked up some but it was.. scary how few people there are.

and I want to read up more on the SCOTUS ruling about Eastern Oklahoma when I get a chance.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Sorry to hear about the bunnies.

We had such plans for this year, starting with our friends getting married in May, renting a house in Mendocino for M's 50th birthday weekend in June, my 45th birthday party this month, going up to Canada in August (seeing Richard III on the Stratford Festival's new stage included), and then Peanut starting TK mid August. Obviously, none of the gathering or travel will happen, and I have serious doubts about TK.

What's TK, juliana?? And good to see you!

I think the happening is good stuff but the way it is written up is a little gross?

That is my concern.
