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!

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.

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.

Compassionately intolerant

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)

Always Anti-fascist!

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

I did not have nachos but did order a burrito bowl for delivery?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

And all across the country, people are wondering if today is Nacho Day or why so many people are ordering them.

Our wings are not tired.

Happy birthday to Nora Deirdre! I hope you are having a delightful day. May the year to come be filled with pleasant surprises.

Chilly here this morning. Went down to 40 last night. Hooking up the heating unit has risen on the todo list.
