What's your blood type, Steph? Do you know? I ask for an informal "study" I've been doing for a few years.
A+ (which I make sure to say as "A plus, baby!").

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
You are skewing my data. I shall therefore ignore you.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My skinny non-drinking mom got gout a few years ago. It lead to a lot of jokes along the lines of "Mayhap you quaffed too much port to have thus afflicted your limb" to her. Needless to say, those jokes were from me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

When you submit the paper to Steph for publication, she's going to be pissed when you don't give her all the data.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Awesome, thanks! The Van's website claims they have them at my local supermarket, so that's perfect. I also just found a simple recipe, so I'll see what I feel like closer to game time. (And how likely it is that the one vegan actually comes.... she's a solid maybe for baby reasons.)
I just checked -- the Van's Organic waffles are the ones that are vegan. I've also got a waffle recipe that I really like, but it's not too simple -- they're yeasted, so you've got to make the batter the night before and then let it sit. (Which I actually like, because I am so not awake enough to measure ingredients in the morning before I eat.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
What's your hypothesis, Zen? I'm curious now.
Also, didn't I read recently that having too precise a correlation in test results was a sign of systematic error? Which is to say, if you include Tep you might actually be more convincing.

The exception proves the rule?

Me too, esp since I only recently found out my blood type, so I wanna contribute!

I was part of a survey for the radio station I worked on in college. We got random numbers that may or may not have been phone numbers, and we called around the local area to see if anyone was listening to us. Most of the people didn't even know who we were. After an hour of calling rural Pennsylvania farmers and small townsfolk with no good responses, I fell to evil and falsified the next fifty responses. I had most of the people following the trend of not knowing who we were, with a few people who listened, then I threw in some outliers like the grandma who adored progressive rock and the teenager who was big into classical music.
At the followup meeting, another girl was chewed out for falsifying the data, but she'd made all her surveys identical. IE, make your data interesting.

Yeah, I am DYING to make gout jokes. Because I'm the best wife ever.
