Notorious RBG, because Opus One! Two finely aged classics from legendary houses.

I was in charge of putting together company Holiday gifts. We tried to cover every possible angle. Turkey, Kosher Turkey, Ham, Fruit Basket ....and a donation to your favorite charity if you didn't want a basket. We also found the Kosher must = better quality segment because we got no less than 10 inquiries about…

Ahhh but now you CAN have gluten free beer - many are making a brew with combos of sorghum, barley, even chestnuts and sweet potatoes. Not saying how they might taste. Might be like decaf coffee - sort of like kissing your sister. Ok enough.......but what's the point?

I feel like The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder could use this much like the standard atomic clock.

Yep, and not in a "Snap! Girl, you are an amazing server" kind of way. I've been at the wrong end of some finger popping.

Slow claps for Amy at Timmy's. Yes, Canadians are excruciatingly polite. Apologies are like a verbal tic. But this is a classic Sorey / NOT Sorey

Sorry to break this to you, but the AP changed the stance on this over 350 days ago. I know, it hurts my heart too. http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire…

Eleventy Billion Dollars!!!

We had a group from the local Marsh & McClennan offices that volunteered every Sept 11 in honor of their lost colleagues. You could ask them to do ANYTHING and they would take it on with huge enthusiasm. One of my favorite groups ever.

I'm working on a book as well. So many people, so many sad, scary, funny, miraculous stories. Is there somewhere I can find yours? Also "Breakfast At Sallies" by Richard LeMieux. I also know about being backed up by the community. I was face to face with an angry family threatening to go get a dumpster gun while…

We were lucky to have a host of regular volunteers who mostly made up for the one timers. People who showed up every Monday morning for 8+ years to prep lunch. Or the lady who worked Tuesdays in the clothing house for 15 years. Loved them. Miss them. My pet peeve was the flood of phone calls from everyone who…

Front line work in community or social movement shares this with military front line; You see shit that no one would ever believe or want to see, but for the most part you know your mission was important, and there were moments when you were absolutely sure that it was the right thing and it made a difference.

Thankfully, my office was on the second floor, so that's something.

How much do I want to start a support group for current and former front line workers. We can meet in the basement of a church and have coffee. "I'm Corgi and I've seen too much"....."Hi Corgi!!"

UGH! ........THOSE kind of Christians who can quote chapter and verse including "When did we see you hungry Lord?" And then are shocked when Jesus shows up in the distressing guise of an unsteady, intoxicated person, or an angry vet who is off the meds he can't afford, or the grandma shepherding 6 hungry…

Amen my friend! I Spent 10 years at a similar community center. I wanted to yell - "Listen, we are NOT your POVERTY PETTING ZOO!!" And then out loud I would say..... We try to be about dignity and not photo opportunity. I also hated parents/grandparents that wanted their kids to volunteer so they could "see how…

I separated and moved to a small carriage house apartment. I decorated any way I wanted and that included a stuffed bear that I had made in HS home ec. My landlady was a crazy single lady AND a licensed therapist (Don't ask me how) - one day she came over and saw the bear. Later she showed up with HERS to visit. …

Here in Vermont, we ask "Are these made with LOCAL Girl Scouts?"

My husband's in food quality. Worked for food companies over the US. Salsa, Spaghetti Sauce, Candy Canes, even Toll House Morsels. Two years ago he got a gig here in Vermont for Green Mountain Coffee. Best employee bennies ever. 6 lbs of coffee every month. Chocolate? it was nice. Ben & Jerry's - pretty cool.…

I feel like if you collected his sweat and evaporated it you would have some sort of clinical level powder you could smoke, inhale, or better yet, stir into coffee like you would a "shot in the dark" shot.
