The QI account on Twitter tells me that the word of the day is opsomania, which is a longing for a particular food. So I hope all of you nacho people are happy. And have nachos.

Matilda does have a good circle of friends that will quickly spread word of the kid's cruel timing to anyone he might want to ask out for the rest of high school, right? Not that I think that would turn him a pariah among all teenagers (it might enhance his cachet with the ones who romanticize bad boys), but it'd at least let the sensible ones know what they'd be signing up for.

I had some great ones from Filiberto's last week.

JenP, this is really my first, too… feel free to PM me if you want and we can share experiences.
Thank you, smonster, I will -- that made me realize that, while I do talk to friends sometimes and my therapist (though, we're on a break), there's no one I talk to who has a similar-ish history. And I hope it goes without saying, feel free to do the same with me, too, of course. Yah, my DH was married twice and has a mid-twenties daughter with his second wife. The first one - they got married way too young, and divorced after about a year, no kids. Pretty much no harm no foul on that one. Not so for the second one.
WRT to LTRs, though, even if you've had one, the next one could be (will probably be) totally different, simply because individual humans, yada yada.
That I believe -- it is weird not really having anything to compare to for myself!

How timely! Yes, I hope there was some nacho having all around where desired.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Catching up, but holy shit Matilda's ex. Bad move, kid. I know some jiu-jitsu guys who teach in Japantown- they'd be happy to do a little light menacing. Or I've got my various barback friends.
Hil, I'm so glad you went to the ER! Wow.
I don't want nachos exactly, but tortilla chips & a variety of dips sounds amazing.

Oh, hey, it's that thing that I don't know the name of. Plate of shrimp. Anyway, I completely forgot about nachos and am having BBQ for dinner (after Cup O Noodle for lunch because meetings) and I think I am okay with that.

If I could find pre-made flour tortilla chips anywhere, I'd have nachos. Stupid corn sensitivity. Stupid migraines.

Atropa, if there's a flour tortilla you can tolerate, I've found that cutting the tortillas into dipping appropriate sizes, spraying them on both sides with olive oil (or whatever oil works for you), and then baking them works very well. I use cookie cutters sometimes to make fun shapes.

I was about to ask if Matilda wanted her scary goth auntie to do some (mild) hexing. Because I will do that for her.Standing by to fire up my altar for a little light energy diversion...if you know what I mean. (scowling face)

I hope the gift she bought is something she could take back.
