Had some Lillet around and made this tonight. Stunned at how nice it was! I was worried since I only had a lemon to muddle - but it worked really well.

“Instead of comping me for something I did order...I was given something I didn’t ask for at all” ^^^This^^^ Comp that bottle of wine or don’t even bother, you can ask if I’d like something extra for free (including a digestif or a dessert), but don’t just throw your cast-off crud at me and expect me to be grateful…

But the problem was that the meal never came out. The kitchen and the server forgot about it - it was never coming out if the LW didn’t say something, so this is, indeed, a major fuck up by your criteria.

Exactly. From the moment of reading the email about Drew, I checked Twitter multiple times daily to see if there was any good news (I’m not even on Twitter). There were so many people who only know Drew from his writing that were rooting for Drew’s recovery and feeling a genuine, pronounced and palpable since of loss.…

Well said friend.  

Make a habit of it. Some of the comments are pure gold.

Same. Now my coworkers know about Drew and read his stuff. My family knows all about him and has watched his Chopped episode with me. I legitimately needed to have people in real life know who he was so I could have someone to talk all of my feeling out with.

You and Slippy up there are really making it hard to read the rest of the comments, what with the blurry eyes and all. Thank you for sharing.

You shouldn’t be grey...

Man, this exactly. 

I work with children with disabilities. For the past 3 months, I have been working with a 7-year-old who had a stroke. He is back to walking recently. Last week, I walked into his 2nd-grade classroom to get him. He was sitting with a group of kids on the floor doing some lesson. He saw me and immediately got up on his…

Re: Walking,

Can’t tell you how many text messages I exchanged with friends seriously worrying about the health of a person I have never met and will likely never meet.

Oh my fucking god, Drew! I’m so sorry that you went through that and I’m so fucking happy you’re alive! To share I went through something milder than that last year. I had 3-4 episodes where I was shaking badly. One time when I was going to work and it was so bad I couldn’t put the lid on my coffee; a stranger had to…

Jesus, man. This is harrowing. Like everyone else in the comments, I’m glad things didn’t go differently.

Hopefully Alex Jones suffers a similar fate by the time the Sandy Hook lawsuits are done. 

Thanks for that brutal honesty! Made me choke laugh. You can always count on us to nitpick every last mistake!

I proofread them, run them through Grammarly, proofread them again, and then wait for the comments section to tell me what I missed. Thanks. Will edit.

But what makes a shed a home???
