Yesterday a friend of mine invited me to Thanksgiving dinner. She claims to not need anything, so I'll be bringing flowers. It's a noon-ish dinner, so would wine be out of place? I was raised by a teatotaller, so I have to learn about my liquor etiquette in the street, from strangers online, from buffistas.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Bringing a bottle of wine to the home of a wine-drinker is never a bad plan -- they can save it for later if they don't want to serve it immediately, for whatever reason.

In other news, I woke up an hour+ early, stayed in bed reading, and now remember that none of my friends will be at work, which will make for a sloooow day, if a short one. Meh!

Most of the time when people have set their yards on fire trying to deep-fry turkeys, it's because they were (a) drunk or (b) trying to fry a turkey too big for their fryer, or (c) forgot to defrost. Or (d) using some kind of home-made rig with no safety features. Or a combination of the four. The new electric fryers are much safer.

I have a friend who has an electronic turkey roaster. I had never heard of one before.
Wonder if any are related to Gus Pong?

Can I just say, as a person with some bladder shyness, I don't really appreciate my coworker hanging out in the bathroom with her two kids, applying temporary tattoos? We do have a kitchen-ish area with a sink in it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG, one of my co-workers was trying to talk work to me as she was in the stall fiddling with the toilet seat cover. Now, I wasn't in a stall, so it's not like pee-shyness was an issue. I just don't want to have to consider her in that position. But it was work! So I couldn't just bolt. I looked like an idiot standing there with my hand on the doorknob and a stricken look on my face.
I need a loo cone of invisibility.
I had a long weirdly comforting and then disturbing dream last night. It's like my brain wanted to reassure me and then ran out of ammo and started delving into anxiety. I ended up getting out of bed early, just in case it continued for the worse.
On the strictly up side, I got to dream about my tantric sex schoolfriend, who is looking very good in my dreamscape.
