Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I put a grated carrot in my tuna salad, usually. I want to bulk it up, because I find a can is pretty much 1.5 meals.

This morning, the recycling was knocked all helter-skelter. One morning, I'm going to come down to a ransacked fridge.

I like celery in tuna salad. I'll usually just have the tuna, celery, mayo, and a bit of onion powder. I like it on a dark, seedy, multigrain bread with a nice tart hard cider or white wine on the side (or club soda with lime if it's lunch).

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I'm going to need a for-example. I'm ready to steal ideas at every opportunity.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Juliebird, I'm so sorry.
