Let's Talk With Some Weirdos

[Aunt Angus]

I am feeling slightly better today. I think I’m going to take another long hot shower and see how that does me. I really have some work I need to get done for work. I couldn’t sit or stand up for very long yesterday everything hurt so bad. Today I think it’ll be better.

I'm so sorry, Colt.

Only if they pronounce Lejeune correctly.

Now I am curious if I am pronouncing it correctly.

Speaking of baked goods, my young children decided to make some gingerbread cookies this weekend. They measured everything (narrowly avoided using 1T of cloves instead of 1t of cloves - we fished out the extra), and I finished mixing it up. I gave them the dough to roll out and put on pans. For me, that would take about 10 minutes, and I'd do other things while they bake. So I wander off to do my own things, and I hear a tale of carnage and death from the kitchen. It's all "Look, his head fell off! Ooops, his arm tore! I'm murdering gingerbread men!!! (Ambulance noises here) Let's do surgery and see if we can squish his head back on!"

I about fell on the floor laughing. I had no idea gingerbread cookies would be so entertaining...

It's very cute when you look at it for more than a few split seconds.

Who can bear to do that?

@MACCanadianCoop At the risk of angering my fellow Americans, Diego told me this morning that he much preferred the metric system

It's easier! Just swap out 0s instead of remembering Five Tomatos for the mile numbers

My dad was a Marine there for a handful of the "bad" years. He had prostate cancer, lung cancer, and kidney cancer. We thought it was due to the agent orange exposure, but I wonder...

I kinda agree. Metric = move a decimal point around, and voila!

I went to Canada once to see a hockey game. I memorized the Canadian national anthem for the sole purpose of singing it at the top of my lungs before the game. I did, and the Canadian fans were super impressed. Got a lot of free beers that night, eh.

It's a bunch of wool that came in. Merino, alpaca, mohair, camel calf and silk, angora and Corridale

Blasphemy, I tell you
