Think of the crazy black markets in exotic animal gall bladders and the like.
I still think it's crazy, though, but so are people. I just think the method of acquiring it is ludicrously extreme.

I adore salty goodness, and I have the high blood pressure to prove it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
shrift, would you hate me if I asked what you thought of last week's SPN? I am curious.
I would ask in thread, but I haven't seen you there lately.

You know what I've disgustingly learned? Some people have neti pots. The pool serves the same purpose. Difference in my congestion between tonight and last is amazing.
I'd apologize to my fellow swimmers, but I figure they are peeing in the pool.

The lipo thing is right - it's not like human fat is remotely scarce.
I'm trying to remember the percentage you're supposed to add to figure actual unemployment. Drawing a blank. Hey, it was almost 20 years ago I learned it.
I don't think it's a static number, though more so than current unemployment. Right now, for instance, I'd guess there's a much higher proportion of people underemployed or having left the market than normal.

ita, where do you stand on sweet and spicy together? (I ask, as I sprinkle cayenne on my mango sorbet.)

Yeah, I think this was based on the Depression, but an average.

I don't mind sweet and spicy as a premise. Depends where it happens--Indian tamarind balls with black pepper are gross. But I love jalapenos and chocolate, for instance.
