> [@Misnomer](#): > > I’ve always loved storms, but for 17 years I felt guilty about loving them because Bailey hated them…and now [two weeks from the first anniversary of her death] I feel a little sad about being able to love them again. I thoroughly understood every word. Enjoy the storm, _and_ your memories. They can co-exist, though it might leave you feeling twisted up again sometimes. > [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > Figured you would need more than that. If you meant for our sauce, yeah, the ingredients for _that_ come in much bigger quantities. The raw tomatoes are just for sub sammiches, and for the occasional veggie pizza that wants tomato added. (Or for me. On the exceedingly rare occasion I make myself a pizza, it’s: tomato, onion, garlic, and bacon. There, I said it: no friggin’ pepperoni.) We used up the 'mater I sliced for tonight, so I guess it wasn’t a wasted errand. * * * Oh, and I typo’d anchovies on someone’s order tonight, and it came out printed “anchivy” and I think that’s how it’s gonna be pronounced at our kitchen from here on out. I seriously could not live it down the whole night. “Are the ANCHEEEEEEVIES ready yet?” > [@Aspenglow](#): > > You do have the snax thing down. 🙂 Adulting (paying taxes on time, having health/auto/rental insurance, sorting laundry, doing dishes, etc.) nah. Snax? I GOT YOU. In all honesty, I rarely eat what most would consider a solid meal at a single sitting. But a mouthful here & there, adds up over the course of a day. > [@Aspenglow](#): > > They were so well mannered and thrilled to have a run around on a rural property. They loved Ollie, who repaid their attentions by whizzing all over their shoes. No good deed goes unpunished. > [@Paintcharge](#): > > . A flakey artist subcontractor theoretically is installing some stuff. I have zero confidence this will go well. Well, at least your high hopes won’t get dashed. * * * Okay, well, _someone_ had to handle part of dish pit tonight - one of the other crew washed the majority of the early stuff, bless her - and would like a shower now, so imma sign off. And, I guess, eat a small meal. Gawwwwwds, I can’t wait till it’s cooler. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-dark-skies-in-the-mmp/1032523)._
