Not a happy answer.

Thanks. At least I know. I hope he doesn't get invited to many birthday parties there this year.

ETA: I'm sure you'll all be thrilled to know that I just spoke to my nephew on the phone and he will settle for a mouse costume instead of an actual Chuck E. Cheese costume.

So the pamphlets did help. Good for you.

I am confident this has all been well-covered, but The Awl linked to a mildly entertaining Vanity Fair article about Ashley Madison.

Soy juice. If it comes from a bean, it's juice. Milk comes from mammals.

Yep. I pictured him on the beach with a bottle of gin. And that reminded me of the bums in Key West.

How is Dad these days?

I use bboth lemon and lime in my Tom Collinses, thereby giving me the best of both worlds.

It keeps longer in the fridge. It keeps fine for a shorter period in a cupboard. For the cooking uses we put butter to at home, the fridge is fine.*

The snob/nose-up attitude towards the fridge is just silly (as is the reverse).

* We don't put it on corn or spread it on bread. We prefer olive oil for the latter. We don't use butter at the table at all.

I don't usually spread butter on anything. Except, recently, I was introduced to this French butter (L'Echire?), and I would spread that stuff on just about anything. Bread, carrots, my arm, a DVD...... fuck, that stuff is good.

Sigh. It's not too late for me to learn to scroll, then post.
