not your mom's socks.

O hurrah USPS! Wish it could have arrived before the train journey Liese! Of course I would have had to put it in the mail earlier for that to have worked.

I would love to do the Grand Circle. And show HKF the canyonlands.

That boot deal sounds fantastic. I should tell DH. I still have my duck boots from 8th grade. Still love them too. They're not fashion statements, but they work.

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah, it is. I have nightmares often of searching fruitlessly through Sky Harbor. Even though I've not done it in real life all that many times. (That's why I had many bitter laughs during Boycottpalooza, when aggrieved Eastern lefties would want a prize for not taking a layover here. Yeah, you're Howard Dean for staying out of the traffic and not paying six bucks for a bottle of water...it must be so hard, being you.) But we should absolutely get together, soonish.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Even if you despise NY style pizza (foldable for easy street eating!), the Parisian attempts I've had are much MUCH worse. They're just...confusing.

(Personally I think it's a deliberate ploy to punish anyone who would dare crave a slice of pizza in the birthplace of haute cuisine.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

This sounds like total BS.

Yeah, I have no idea. But whatever he's doing is working for him. And the formula for me breaks down to ten 8 oz. glasses a day, which is not that much more than 8 8oz. glasses, which is normally recommended, right?

Wish it could have arrived before the train journey Liese!

It did, I think! I just didn't make it to the post office to pick it up. Woes. But it is marvelous and beautiful and works great. So thank you!

I have nightmares often of searching fruitlessly through Sky Harbor.

My deal with Sky Harbor is that you can't escape it. I just drive around it randomly faster and faster until it flings me out. Then I try to figure out where I am.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Not exactly.

Art Crawl!!!

Wow, that needle roll up is excellent! Good job, Sox and lucky, lucky Liese with her nicely organized knitting tools.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I was about to say, screw that noise! But it probably is worth $6.

I use my Points slider all the time, so I figure the $6 would be a good investment for me. Based on the new way points are calculated, though, I'm seriously going to need to revamp my go-to kind of foods as many have gone up in points.

Because books.

Hey, that Sox was a mailing fool recently. I just got the coolest knitted fingerless gloves ever!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

It's been a long time since I did WW, but -- why would they do that? I always thought the points system was a really good one.

The formula apparently better incorporates how carbs and protein affect you. Used to be calories/fat/fiber. Now you don't use calories -- you calculate points with carbs/protein/fat/fiber. Which makes it difficult to eyeball. Could be good in the long run (eyeballing leads to failure, IME) but seems like a hard learning curve.
