Pozole looks like this: [link]

Oh! On my list. I love trying new things.

Thinking a lot about Shir and all those in the region these last few days. The escalation is scary.

There's a whole NYTimes article about the increasing threat of international war, with China threatening to invade Taiwan, Iran funding a number of terrorist organizations and Russia itchy to invade other countries. Throw in North Korea and those countries are consistently working as allies in anti-democratic efforts worldwide.

I like pozole, but would never have thought to put it on fries? I do now really want lunch...

I am being driven round by bureaucracy....my doc was willing to write an rx for the new cash pay for zepbound, since I'm no longer on a trial of a new med, and I've gained 15 pounds in the two months since I had the meds (BOO). So she tried, but couldnt' figure out how. I went home, and figured out a way for her to do it, by adding the required pharmacy (it has to go through their special pharmacy to be the less expensive stuff, I can't afford $1000 a month!). She sent it. I haven't heard from them, so tried to contact them today. They said they never received it. I can see it in the system, it looks to me like it was sent and required the info (and they said they didn't even have it in a "this is rejected because XYZ" list) so I don't know where to go from there! I just want to stop constantly wanting food....and want to not buy another whole wardrobe.

I'm over that in a lot of ways, though I have talked a lot of trash on the subject over the years. Especially after a few years went by and he tried to *friend me on Facebook* and get me to come to his virtual launch and all that jazz. Like, okay, I was enough of a sucker to buy in a bit, and you didn't rip me, personally, off intellectually(God help him if he had, for the record--I'm stubborn, overeducated, and have lots of time free in the afternoons...he would live to hate words like "pro se", but I digress.) but just because I'm not hurt anymore doesn't mean it's like "Oh, you had *me* going," and we hang out now, you arrogant moron. I mean, I did think I was entertaining someone laid up in the hospital some of that time. I was very rude about that request and I regret it less than anything I've ever done.

I think I finally have most of Haunt Season up and running, and I think I, along with my team, have survived. Just for posterity, here is what we did this season.

1. Halloween Horror Nights - Universal Studios 2. Delusion 3. Queen Mary - Dark Harbor 4. Fright Fest - Six Flags Magic Mountain 5. Fright Fest - Six Flags Fiesta Texas 6. Fright Fest - Six Flags Over Texas 7. Fright Fest - Six Flags Over Georgia 8. Fright Fest - Six Flags Great Adventure 9. Fright Fest - Six Flags Great America

And then on top of that getting rolling on the rest of our work and rentals.

It has been a total of something like 30 haunted houses in 5 states.

Damn.

I need a nap after reading your post, ND.

Now comes the really hard part, collecting payment.

Out of context, this line makes you sound like a ghost hunter. I would definitely watch the Drew Hunts Ghosts show.

I love the idea of a haunting, but I've been in so many creepy and supposedly haunted spaces with nothing happening that I'm not sure how exciting it would be. I'd be totally down though. I mean I used to spend most of a month wandering around in a cemetery and mausoleum with the power off in the middle of the night by myself to install spooky shit.

That sounds exhausting, Drew!!
