If you want maple sugar candy I believe that we acquired an extra box of it for you in VT that never migrated to the new house.

Happy Birthday! :)

Happy birthday!

I have a plan with Scott to go look at the 60+ content some tonight, which I am excited about.

Henna block: does that mean you tend to Lush Cacas, or is there another outfit doing blocks out there?

(Pondering switch to loose henna, nervous about preparing gel from scratch.)

[kiya]

Yeah, I've been using their stuff for the last year and change or so. Took me a little to get the hang of the proportions, as the stuff I used before that had measurements. :}

Hippo birdies!

And yes, we definitely need to play hand and foot... :)

Yay, Birthday! Happy natal day!

And the furbolg grind is a rotten one, yes.

[kiya]

I just wanted to grind up to neutral to do the totem turn-ins from the 'this item begins a quest' drops. (Which is what levelled me.)

It took much of the afternoon to go unfriendly->neutral, including some ... really ... strange ... groups.

Maple sugar candy is one of the easiest things in the world to make! And Happy Birthday!

[kiya]

Yeah, I looked it up at one point and said, "Whoa, that's simple." I just haven't tried it.

Happy belated Birthday!

Sounds like you've got a lot done.

*hugs*

Breathe!

Goodness, you've been beyond busy! *hugs*

No wonder we haven't seen you!

Happy Hatching Day!

Happy birthday!

What is hand and foot?

[kiya]

It's a card game, I'm told like canasta, not that I know anything about canasta.

Basically, you are dealt two equally-sized piles of cards; one is your hand, one is your foot. Goal is one of the standard ones: get rid of all your cards via certain protocols. You cannot pick up your foot cards until you have gotten rid of all of your hand cards. We generally play with partners, which makes it somewhat easier.

It is, when explained out, a surface-complicated game, but isn't actually all that complicated; it's sort of a default game when there are four slightly braindead people kicking around.

[larksdream]

Oh, canasta is great fun. I don't actually remember anything about it, except that donperros and telixen and vectorvillain and I played it once and it was a lot of fun. *G*

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday!

How can you fail at lunch? I have visions of the food running away from you. :-)

Also, not getting a job is not failure, merely an event over which you had minimal control. I say this as a person who has hired many and not hired many many more, and who also has not been hired many many times.
