Last night, I was on a CodePink webinar with a Jacqueline from San Francisco, and for a moment, it was very hard not to run over and start...Idk, start spouting fannish nonsense at her. Even though there might be hundreds of Jacquelines in the region, and we only back-channelled and stuff--say, quarterly and we usually approached lefty things from different angles--and I don't mean porn-- but it wasn't completely wrong to think that was a thing she might have come to...still glad I didn't really do that. It might have been a lot to explain.

Seltzer on tap is amazing! Spindrift in general is quite good, I'm not sure if I've had lemon. When we were going on family vacation/roadtrips when I was a kid we were in the habit of filling a large thermos with a tap sort of thing (not as big as a football game gatorade container but kinda along those lines) with lemonade and then refilling with water as it got depleted so we had sort of lemony water to drink. From that, I ended up really liking water with a hint of flavor and my sister ended up hating it.

I think I like tea in all its forms. Hot, cold, sweet, unsweet, fruit flavored, herbal, black, green, etc. Knowing that, you'd think I'd drink it more often.

Same on all counts, JenP! I have a box of assorted teabags on my desk at work and do I ever make tea to drink while I work? Hardly ever.

To the point where I take a few steps towards the "but first" task, get distracted, and forget both tasks.

::waves:: Yes, that is very familiar

Aw, I can imagine that that would be a bit unsettling, erika. I work with a Ginger and seeing her name on email still gives me a little jolt sometimes, depending on the subject

Woot! I got three packages in the mail today.

These were items that could have theoretically gone out the door months ago but the whole Entropy heat death of the universe resistance to actually getting things labeled and taken to the post office fought mightily against me.

Yet, I have triumphed against this reality-wide conspiracy to thwart mailing boxes.

I have no hot takes on tea, nor sweeteners.

I don't have seltzer on tap but I do have a Sodastream which is basically the same idea and you could all have it in your home should you desire bubbly on tap!

Woohoo! Getting packages successfully mailed off is always an impressive accomplishment
