So giving it up for lentils. I can cook, but I cannot make them taste like anything other than the dried dirt pebbles that they are.

Excellent news, congratulations!

YES!

The original Taco Cabana siiiiigh, worth the freshman fifteen. Every single pound.

Baby lizard. Bag of spinach. Discovered too late.

I am with you on the ice pack story. It is BEYOND. And please never stop writing. I am still not over that Guy Fieri piece.

No worries! I grew up overseas, mostly in Singapore, ex-pat, and it took me awhile to nail down the states in my own country, the US of A. Also, pitifully, the "Star-Spangled Banner" and "America, the Beautiful" conundrum. Oh my God, I just did it again...had to Google. WTH???

Nailed it. Hurrah!

Conversely...there is this guy...who truly inspired me to drink coffee and reread Ursula Le Guin.

I was never a blow job girl. As a tomboy, I have philosophically railed against it with my guy friends. I have great sex, because that is , what is. What comes to mind is the recent ex. No one had ever brought him to climax with a blow job. And I am not that girl. What I lack in sexual skill, I make up for with…

You have turned me into a 10 year old boy. What is this? Witchcraft?

We appreciate your kindness. It has been so good to have the family together for the holiday. Cheers!

WHAAAAAT? I would have lost my mind, raised the drawbridge and released the alligators.

Well...still...Having read all the posts I realize my naivete. I have had mostly giant breed dogs and monitored their diets carefully and fanatically, but the odd box did make it into the house. Couldn't figure out why this dog rejected it out of hand. Guess he was a ton smarter than me...

I love how you OWNED taking a nibble. I also nibbled a treat trying to suss out why the Notorious Fritz rejected it. It wasn't overly awful. Would qualify as sustenance in a zombie apocalypse.

Noted...I will stop. However, I may have to take up smoking again.
