But their calves are going to be just fine.
Durham friends! Can you recommend a good realtor? I want to buy an empty lot that adjoins my yard. I don't know how to go about this! I assume I need a realtor? I contacted one, they said they'd research & get back to me and now they won't return my messages :(
I saw one near Fort William.
Aww, ham.
Shockingly, this is another micro-obsession.
Excellent.
Opium was so very legal that you could get it as a tonic for teething. It was just over the counter. They dosed everyone all the time. It was usually in a tincture of alcohol - laudanum - but people ate it too.
Oooooooo
Which one is it?
Like, I donβt want this! But I think itβs wonderful that people who do can have it!
Also there are a million little places that only have about 6 types of coffee on the menu. I went to one just this morning. Not a syrup in sight.
The ones I got wrong were because I was trying too hard to second-guess it, if that makes sense.
Home ground advantage: Brady.
Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other

As someone who likes a particular coffee very much (2 shots of espresso, about 6oz whole milk, no sugar) itβs worth noting that in the 1700s people were very particular about their snuff flavors. Popular flavors were rose, cinnamon, menthol, mint, fruit, spice, and camphor. Just saying.
Oh cool! Iβve wanted to play with this since reading Hild.
Garnished with red vines.
I want to know what the twine-day meal is.
No treat for Uggi!
Oh Uggi! Oh no!
Put a slug of maple syrup in a latte and eat your weight in coffee crisp!
This place has 150 on tap at all times.

INSANE MICHELIN CHEF GUY: In the past, I have perhaps been a bit hard on my employees and I apologize.
REPORTER: A former line cook says you rented a bulldozer and drove it into his house while screaming "this is how subtly you're placing parsley motherfucker"
CHEF: i now realize that was wrong
Itβs like a throne of skulls except itβs blankets, which is much more my style.
Are you ready to neeeerrrrrrddddd!
Iβm glad you liked it!
I donβt usually like first person. I accept it where itβs necessary in a twisty narrative where people donβt know everything, but it bugs me.

I love the imagery of rumor flying around a court like a bat.
