I woke up with chills and coughing and decided to work from home and now I am having trouble getting myself to actually work.
That sounds like maybe a sick day is in order!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our wings are not tired.
Do you think everyone (barring allergies) likes chocolate and peanut butter?
I do know people who are not crazy about chocolate, like my sister, but they are simply wrongheaded and shouldn't make the rest of the assemblage suffer.

Oh no, I forgot about those people! I thought it was the peanut butter that was going to be controversh.

Is there anything that everyone likes? I doubt it. Chocolate peanut butter is a classic combination.
I have a meeting I don't want to miss, but I may only work a half day. We'll see how it goes.

I have one friend who hated peanuts and peanut butter growing up, but a few years ago tried some fancy peanuts in shell and decided she only liked those. But then was convinced to branch out a bit…and now she likes it, in her 30s! My bestie (who some of y’all have met) isn’t really into chocolate—she will eat it but will usually choose something else first. She’s crazy but I love her despite that.

Now I'm spiraling trying to decide if I should do something else! But someone is lactose-intolerant and there is a good vegan chocolate cake receipe.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I think chocolate and PB or chocolate and fruit would either be a solid choice. I only like PB Choc in some contexts, but I'm weird

Could you check with someone, perhaps? Maybe the lactose intolerant person, because if they don't like chocolate then that would be disappointing (my mom's friend once made a vegan cake especially so she (mom) could have it but used almond milk and mom's allergic so that was a bummer for everyone)

Yeah, good one -- I can do the cake and have ice cream with it, but not if the one person doesn't like chocolate!
Thank you all for helping me think this through!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have trouble wrapping my head around a preference against chocolate and peanut butter (such an obviously delicious flavor combination!) but I know there are people out there who are likewise confused as to why anyone would voluntarily eat a Reese's cup, so...yeah, I don't think there is any universal "safe" flavor option.
