No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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

I hope I'm not making that up, Epic, I've been buying something from TJ's that I thought were non-dairy ice cream sandwiches for a loooong time (although I haven't actually been in a TJ's in months so who knows if they still exist but I thought they were a long term staple). Their Soy Creamy pints are pretty good as well, but I really like the sandwiches. I think they have "mini" in the name? Aha, these [link]

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Happy as I am to have my appointments, seems the usual suspects are in town again. They are, seemingly, planning another attempt on the Capitol. sigh ....

There was one comment I appreciated:

Is this going to become a monthly thing? Is there going to be a punchcard provided to residents that have to endure this? Is the fourth or fifth insurrection free?

These losers need to get a damn hobby. Try knitting.

(A subsequent comment suggested they find a hobby that didn't involve anything pointy.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I hope they brought their own damn organic food this time.

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.

Epic, I really like NadaMoo - coconut milk, tapioca, and agave syrup, and somehow the mouth feel is right. Gluten free, vegan, they've just added a line with no sugar, when I bring the car back from Tacoma I'm absolutely stopping at Sprouts and buying a pint of their pistachio nut.

Years ago I found a birthday card for a friend. It said:

I baked my friend a sugar-free, fat-free, gluten-free birthday cake. I can still hear her screaming.

I tried their cookie dough flavor because it's the only dang gluten-free cookie dough ice cream I could find, and it was pretty good.

I'll have to check these out. Tofutti does some, but their vanilla is not great. They do a mint chip one that's pretty good, but I don't love mint.

Also added to the list - though for pints, Ben & Jerry are hard to beat. Unfortunately also hard to find sometimes, but their dairy free (almond milk based, I believe) choices are tasty.

Yay for appointments, Todd! Boo for insurrectionists!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay for appointments!

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.

Toddson inspired me; a chocolate cake is in the oven. Neither sugar-free, fat-free, nor gluten-free - also only about four servings: Jim and I could eat an entire layer cake by ourselves, but it would not be in our best interests. I had two 6" pans that I'd bought in a fit of "Find something else to put in this order" and a recipe from one of ATK's Cooking For Two books. It smells good, if nothing else.
