Chef, do you offer an intravenous coffee service? If so, please sign me up.

So we have something to look forward to.

Have been trying to pound this into his thicc skull for over 10 years now. Any suggestions for how to achieve a PERMANENT result? Will consider anything at this point.

I have just spent the last 5 hours of my work day fixing a problem that was caused by my boss doing the glad-handing 'everybody's a mate' method of billing for overdue accounts. I am so over this. Am I legally allowed to tie a pillowcase over my boss's head after having inserted a pair of explorers into his mouth? Preferably having loaded the socks with mustard. Or horseradish.

And I do the evil-dragon overdue accounts lady very well, but why should I have to? Such a waste of time.

No. Not sook, but foresightful. My boy and his wife are getting out asap - certainly by June/July this year. They want to have another child, and wife is (rightfully) afraid for her general and reproductive health in Florida. The clinic she was going to has announced that it's moving to Seattle. From Florida. So it can continue to provide 1st class health care for women. Which is no longer possible in Florida without breaking state laws.

My boy is also disgusted with the way that politicians and others there have fled into 'moral'/religious bunkers of hate, fear and repression.

The USA is dividing into have/have not healthcare states. This is truly scary imo.

It's the 'and friends' that creeps me out. An entirely new definition of 'friends' is required here.

Hats. If you care for such things. She does hats well.

Eeek! Glad you're feeling better now. Helluva way to weekend though.

Then you weren't celebrating properly - you should be greatly hungover.

Stephen King? Yes, it probably would take that long to plough through one of his thicker books.

No assets that I know of. I'm conflicted between doing no further harm to a very vulnerable person, and the rank terminally-stupid injustice done to the innocent accused.

Why the fence when there's a perfectly good lemon tree which could use a bit of extra nitrogen?

Woohoo! Best feeling ever.

I'm putting this under a NSFW, as it may be triggering for some of us. Concerns a situation that I've become aware of at work. I'm not sure I have all the details either. But there's a moral dilemma here that I would welcome some feedback on.

Um, isn't Aotearoa New Zealand pretty much the same as Mount Fujiyama? Like doubling up when there's no need to do so? I think I'd pick one and use that rather than both. Would depend on context I guess.

And we live in a city with a street named "High Street Road" which can be depended on to crack up visitors until they get familiar with Melb's weird but practical road name conventions.

I would call that narcissism. Would be different if other people chose to call their kids after him, but to do that to all your kids - guess who wants little copies of himself? Even the girls.

Ick.

Also celeb culture. I'm named after a great-great-aunt, who was named after one Queen Victoria's daughters cos g-g-a was born in the same year as said daughter.

I'm hoping no-one, I say no-one, will name their unfortunate girlchild Karen in the foreseeable future.

Or die of scurvy.

It's English english - and has migrated all over the world. Probably more common in USA as it's a fairly antique way to add emphasis and they've kept a lot of antique usages that English english hasn't kept.

I see your perforated ladle (far left of bottom drawer) and raise you a pair of herb scissors (surprisingly useful and a bit of a fave). Now if I can only find them under everything else ...
