Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

sj! You are going to see Buffistas! You will be surrounded by love and humor. If your packing is less than perfect, chances are, someone will lend you, or help you find a replacement for, any necessity that you happen to miss. You will be loved and valued even if every single outfit your bring is totally mismatched, and has holes in it. If you pack thirty curling irons and no combs, no one will laugh unless you do. Be gentle with yourself.

anyone have a really good vegan recipe that isn't heavy on veggies but could feed 4 people?
Am too late, but...black beans and quinoa and avocadoes and red and green peppers, with some cilantro (I'm a hater, so I go v. light on it, but oddly, it is needed), dressed with some olive oil and lime juice. Feta for the non-vegans. Plus a salad, and some kind of yummy dessert, and wine? It's a good summery meal, because it's not hot.

Thanks, Windsparrow. I just have too many things going on in my head right now. Stuff I need to let go of for a few days so I can have fun. Plus I need to shut up that inner voice that says everyone is going to hate me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Thanks, guys.

“Not dead yet!”
I've had two... mebbe three glasses of a very good New Zealand Riesling.
And artichoke and cheese dip for dinner.
And wine. It was good wine.
I'm verra sleepy now.
ETA: Whoopsie, I killed the thread.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Worked for me.
Plus? Having my beautiful Windsparrow there kept the focus off me directly, and I still enjoyed myself.

Oh, yeah. No way I would have the nerve to go if I couldn't hide behind TCG.

I'm haunted by a very special academic version of l'esprit d'escalier, in which I understand what's the real question I wanted to ask hours later.
I'm wondering how long it'll take to get rid of it. I'm there for almost a year now.

We are back from our long trip through the South.
I am sad to report, that Emmett had a most extreme negative reaction to the clean-sweep perpetrated on his room in his absence. There was actual and prolonged sobbing at the unrequested makeover. It was a bad return on a very good trip.
I suspect he's at the point where he needs to be involved in do-overs on his room instead of allowing his mom executive fiat.
I am here to say that Mr. Flea makes a spectacular Peach and Blueberry Pie, and amych and her husband are very fine companions to take to a minor league baseball game, and that Ginger is the most accommodating hostess, and that it was very lovely to spend time with flea both with and without Dillo and Casper.
