OMG how have I never heard of this before? Is this an East coast vs West coast thing?

Follow up question: does coffee syrup continue to taste good into adulthood? Because IME chocolate syrup doesn't.

Yeah, I am terribly curious about this coffee syrup--there's a "sampler pack" on Amazon, but I'm not sure I need or want three different kinds...but....tempting.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I think coffee syrup is mostly a Rhode Island thing. I've seen it a little bit in the rest of New England, but mostly just RI.

edit: And now I see that Jesse already answered that.

I want to hug Aleve and squeeze it and call it George. About 9 times out of 10 I can head off migraine pain entirely if I get it into my system as soon as I notice auras or light sensitivity.

I seem to be one of the few people who doesn't like Aleve. It barely does anything for my pain -- Advil works a lot better -- and it upsets my stomach, even if I take it with food.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Worried about you, Ginger.

Worried about you, Ginger.

Yeah, me too. And Mr. Peabody.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sending you lots of love and strength~ma, Ginger. I'm glad you are getting cared for, but I know being in the hospital is a bummer, and not having a phone or access to email while you're there is even worse. And lots of ~ma to Mr. Peabody too.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

All the ~ma, Ginger. I hope the electrolytes help you feel much better. And if you need someone to look after Mr Peabody I may have some contacts in the area.

My neighbor, who's a petsitter, says she can take care of him for only a few days. I know she's busy, but she only has to go next door for a few minutes a day. After that, my bff will send her nephew down to take him back to Nashville.
