no, I think you must be right and he was referring to onion dip

This would be clever if I didn't like onion dip.

Since I enjoy a good onion dip quite a bit, you score no points. I'd just rather have guacamole.

no, it's clever either way.

i was talking about onion dip for being made with mayo and sour cream

just to be clear: guac > hummus > salsa >> onion dip though i'd have no quibble's with anyone who wanted to rearrange anything in the top 3

you put mayo in your onion dip? criminal.

sometimes i feel like a classic ripple potato chip (or cape cod style) & those are only perfectly married to one dip: the delicious onion.

I raise you to crab dip.

Feeling any better vr?

Yes. Stomach has calmed down quite a bit, although still problems. I was able to sleep last night. Still can't eat. Don't really want to but I feel so weak I feel like I should. But thinking of food makes me queasy. Even pictures of food make me queasy and when BF was cooking last night I got super sick. I'm working on water right now.

How'd you manage that?

Just a pre-emptive defence, atakdog might come on and say some ridiculous lie about how I got us lost today, and took us 120 miles out the way (not a small feat considering it's scotland, it's not exactly huge), but that SO didnt happen

I just noticed that if I turn my arm just the right way, I have signs of old man skin. ugh.

it all depends on mac's definiton of "free."

my guess is that the classic Craigslist "handjobs for tickets" exchange occurred behind a bowling alley somewhere.

It was a red-legged partridge.

As you now know, y'all have palearctic birds, while we have nearctic. And we share the holarctic ones.

Today I showed her a pair of whooper swans, which annoyed her slightly because pulling off to see them almost meant we had to re-overtake the lorries on the wet, winding road. But I managed barely to pull back out onto the road before they went by.


I once hallucinated that my car had turned into a tree, on a very long drive in West Texas about twenty-five years ago. I recall leaning down to see under the branches that kept overhanging the windshield...


I would never claim we went 120 miles out of our way, unless that had actually happened. (I see you haven't been working on your calculation of distances either.)


Today's report: western Scotland is absolutely gorgeous in February. The Isle of Skye, a little less so but still cool. TimeLady doesn't like having snowballs thrown at her, but does laugh when I make a snowman. As far as we can tell there are no monsters in Loch Ness right now, probably because the sun came out and burned off the fog at an inopportune moment. Scottish food is amazingly, deliciously unhealthy. I have now been above a hundred in one more state, province, or country than before. Driving on the left is no big deal (but for the rare occasions when I forget), but shifting with the opposite hand is an adjustment. And our bed and breakfast's firewall seems to be blocking the download of the movies that Legend commended to me in Pub I.

if its a pacers game, its not very hard

There was an add in the free stuff section for free tickets, when we picked up the tickets, there was 3 other envelopes labelled for people on the door for pick up.

Its against the Spurs.

We have partridges of some form in the field outside out house. Looking at the pics I think that they're red-legged not grey. It's hard to tell because it's a big field, they hang about in the middle and run away whenever you try and approach them.

The wilds of scotland is somewhere I really want to spend some time.

The Departed is almost unwatchable on FX. Every other word is dubbed

Mother-father Chinese dentist!

In our non-standard auto, we have a customer that I've only seen twice in two years. The first time was when I wrote his policy. Ever since then his girlfriend has been either coming in or calling and making his payments for him.

Today he showed up to add a car to his policy, and he brought a NEW girlfriend with him to make the payment. They have also both been very nice, very lovely girls.

as the doc says, "then don't turn your arm that way"

120 miles would take you from one side of Scotland to the other.

the long way or the short way?

Would be nice to live in a place where the farthest place you had to drive was 3 hours away...F.

or not

There's only one way

Seriously, there are only about 5 roads in Scotland, we just took one of the wrong ones....
