I'm not a big drinker, but for years--since before it was legal again in the US--I've wanted to try absinthe. Well, our gamer brought some over today with the pizza he brought for dinner.  So I finally got to try it. I knew I didn't like the taste of licorice before we began, but ugh! This was like drinking Nyquil, which I never thought of as ( Read more... )

I know there are still people who have me on their list that I do not want to be anywhere around me. Why are you people still bothering when you couldn't be bothered to say a single sympathetic word to me in six damn months? You couldn't say good-bye when I finally felt driven to quit the comm by being censored and ignored and "watched" for heinous ( Read more... )

TO ALL MY ONLINE FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS: Copy and Paste if you have enjoyed the blessing of meeting people online that you never would have met any other way. This is my end of the year shout out to the many "friends" I have never been in the same room with but who have inspired, amused, comforted, encouraged, and touched me in so many ways. I ( Read more... )

Has anyone talked to a_rocky_ravine  since she posted this? I got her on the phone briefly twice that day and following day, but I don't know if she's out of the hospital yet. I'm worried, but I don't want to try to reach her at home unless I know she's there.

Silly I know, but her mom scares me.

My April job may be done (right on time). There's a few days before the next one starts ( Read more... )

The pretty librarian has moved away to Texas. I was busy all last week trying to help her finish packing and clean up. She dumped a lot of stuff. I "inherited" a lot of stuff, too. We've been trying to absorb it.

There's going to be a friendslocked post later this week with more sensitive news. I'm not up to it tonight.

This is just a quick note that I spent most of yesterday helping a friend pack. She had a closet full of feminine products (unused and clean but some out of their big boxes), so I brought home two full garbage bags of it ( Read more... )

mhari's father died shortly before Thanksgiving, and rainbowjehan is trying to raise money for her family with a fan fic drive. The information is all here at her journal. I don't know Mhari well at all--I met her back when Les Mis fandom was almost exclusively on the dedicated board on the site. Her family really needs this help.

Yesterday, we cooked a few pounds of pork (still not sure of the cut) with onions, sweet potatoes and pineapple in our crock pot. The meat was sweet and so tender it fell apart to the touch. Yum. We were planning on heating a can of green beans, maybe eat some raw carrots and celery, then enjoy our fizzy diet Sierra Mist with yummy flavors and soy ( Read more... )
