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 will now. That sounds intriguing.

I am less intrigued by mac and cheese ice cream but I would try it if given the opportunity. Might be good, who knows?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I know. I know it would not be good.

Now I don't know what to think. My instinct is to believe Dana, but mac and cheese casts a pretty compelling spell (I have tried a number of dishes that include mac and cheese in some unlikely way that are not so much bad as just not worth the effort and I have clearly not learned my lesson)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I would try it if given the opportunity

I'm like 95% sure it will not be good but I would try it once just to say I did.

I do not want savory ice cream. No thank you.

- t that sucks re:budgeting. Is there any way to reduce other expenses?

The last 2 days I have felt increasingly bad as the day went on. Headache, chills inside (no fever), sluggish, slightly upset stomach. Yesterday after I walked the dogs and fed them, I laid out in the recliner with a throw over me and drank water and listened to podcasts. Around 8 I fell asleep, so when I woke up I took the dogs out one more time and went to bed. Felt great this morning, got up early and everything. Now I am yuck again.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I've had a couple of amazingly good savory ice creams, always in the form of some absurd frou-frou appetizer in a fancy mod cuisine joint where you get, like, a tiny cone of avocado or wasabi or something on a plate of equally absurd but tasty things. For like 2 bites. I can't emphasize that part enough.

Kraft Mac ice cream is not that.

I could maybe get cheaper internet and get rid of DirecTV but I have kind of tried and it's a lot of effort and wouldn't make much of a dent so I don't want to. Everything else is pretty fixed. I actually paid off 4 credit cards earlier this year with a combination of stimulus money and a gift from my mother, and I was all excited because that meant another $175 disposable without those minimum payments but then my mortgage payment went up $150/month (escrow, I assume for insurance) so that was discouraging. It's not unworkable, I can live with it, I just would be happier if I thought this was temporary.

I hope you feel better soon, msbelle, that sounds miserable. I hate those on and off not really SICK sick but definitely not well things

I was wrong, I do have a baby fever. 100.9, so 3 degrees for me. I guess Tylenol and bed.

Our wings are not tired.

I hope it passes quickly with more rest, msbelle.

-t, is refinancing your mortgage an option? With the current interest rates being so low that could help lower your monthly chunk.

Also, I am totally in favor of chocolate ice cream with mint chips or mint ice cream with chocolate chips, but I don't think I want to try mac n cheese ice cream.
