Hi, Amy! Hi, Jesse!
vanilla bean
Um, what's the difference between vanilla and vanilla bean ice-cream?
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

ION - I got 3 pints of HD5 ice cream at Target: lemon, vanilla bean, and coffee. Only had the lemon thus far. SO much YUM.
I should have, like, three toasters at this point.

I'm not sure if there's a legal standard for labeling something "vanilla bean" but what it should mean is that the vanilla flavor comes from vanilla beans instead of synthetic vanillins.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
but megan, you'd just get rid of extra toasters. We are honoring your de-cluttering ways by NOT getting you toasters.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What it means for this brand is that the ice cream is speckled with the actual beans.

The lawyer who handled Hubby's disability case called yesterday. When Hubby told me this, I was immediately worried, but apparently the lawyer thinks he can get Hubby more money. I said suspiciously, "How can he do that, and what's it going to cost us?"
Apparently, disability payouts are handled by several semi-private companies who dole out the money. If you have a lawyer who helped with the case, said lawyer gets a cut of the monthly payout. I did not know this, and it explains why said lawyers are willing to get a better deal. And it's more comforting to have a logical reason than to wonder why a lawyer is apparently being altruistic.

This would be an excellent band name.

Happy birthday, Nora!
Then I told him the most likely reason for it was that they thought his mom was SUPER CUTE and he got all grossed out and chocked on his laughter.
Well, you are supercute.
