ita - glad you got some good news. I hope that the cops find the asshats and your laptop.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I don't think I'm going to make it to NY.
I spent the evening watching episodes of Community and finishing off a bottle of TJ's Zinfandel.
BTW, a recent article did a taste-test of TJs & Yellowtail wines. They determined that the TJs Pinot Grigio and Nouveau are far more drinkable than their prices would indicate.
I'm with ya, Connie. Why do you think that I went on tilt when I found out that TJ's in CT doesn't sell wine? (although a 45 min drive to Framingham, MA takes care of it)
Happy New Year everyone!
I witnessed a miracle tonight: my parents, who regard spaghetti as an exotic foreign food, really enjoyed their dinner at a local fairly authentic Mexican grill which was our only viable dining option not involving an hour+ wait or ordering through a clown's nose.
My tastes in wine are not very sophisticated. I've been drinking Yellowtail reds for four or five years--I like them as well as some more expensive labels. I find I do like Australian wines, a lot.
Happy New Year, everybody!
I am greeting the New Year daylight-style with a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. Start as you mean to go on, right??
Sounds like a plan to me. My BFF was just complaining yesterday that after a full year of being vegan her cholesterol is 271 - the exact number that it was a year ago. I may recommend trying bacon egg & cheese. I managed to bring mine down 100 points by adding good stuff, but I don't want to live in a world with no cheese.
So much body stuff is just internal, I think -- my cholesterol and etc. are all good, and I don't do shit about it.
Yeah. Except for Too Much Salt my normal taste in food is a dietician's dream: sparing use of olive oil and margarine in place of butter, lots of grains, brocolli, and leafy vegetables, fruit and yogurt rather than cookies/cakes, not going overboard on the fatty meats except the good kinds like salmon. Despite that, my cholesterol is pretty damn high without medication.
