If you’re looking to zap your brain, I recommend the Cefaly for migraines! And it doesn’t require a prescription any more.

Don't be afraid to put a little brandy or bourbon in there. The alcohol will cook out and it will add depth of flavor.
Dry vermouth! I deglaze just about everything with it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Although I'm not sure I should be allowed to zap my brain.
Sure we should. What could possibly zzzzzzzzzt go wrong?
That might be the Xmas list right there.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Thanks tor the tlc, Cindy (and several others!).
I am following Katie B’s wise counsel and not approaching the babies. They’ll come to me in their own time.
And I am pleased to announce that the house is once more well protected from red dots. Rey took a flying leap from the dresser to the bed in a valiant effort to save us all.

I'm happy to hear on good test results. Also happy to hear good pet news.
Myths! They don't need to be real to be true.
Wow. Never heard of it.

I also got several humidifiers (penguins!) which proved useful over the years.
I have a penguin humidifier sitting next to me right now. (AIFG)
JZ, that was beautiful.

Ondine’s curse: very cool.
Vermouth is an under-utilized cooking ingredient, I think. My upstairs neighbor made a grapefruit and red vermouth marmalade that was phenomenal. I was sad when I finished the jar.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That was a great piece of writing, JZ, thanks for sharing it. AND I've just had someone's name in my work whose middle name is Ondine! (Not sure how to phrase that, but I have nothing to do with her personally, just her name.)
I would like a penguin humidifier and a weighted blanket, if anyone's shopping?

Our wings are not tired.
Hmm, I may have do add vermouth to my pantry. I've been cooking so much and love trying new things. And I have not used vermouth cooking yet.
Surprise in the mailbox. My wonderful county sent a package with 4 Covid masks. I expect they sent them to everyone. Blue, red, maroon, and black. How cool is that? Also a bunch of information on testing and precautions and so forth.

I have a vague memory of having read about Ondine's Curse a long time ago. The name stuck with me, since I had heard of Ondine (although I tend to confuse her with Melusine).
I used to work with a man who had sleep apnea - he once fell asleep in the middle of a phone call - I spotted him sitting at his desk, head on fist, other hand holding the phone receiver. He got treated and improved.
For people with kitties, I once saw a book by a vet called "All My Patients Are Under The Bed".
