    *sip* Aww, thanks--with rum even! Yes, feeling very warm now. Not sure Mommy would approve, but I guess she doesn't have to know. :)

    Have I ever told you that according to your page, you joined ADISC the day before my eighth birthday? I just thought that was interesting :)

    Thank you, and no worries! January 17 is thick with celebrity birthdays too: Jim Carrey, Benjamin Franklin, Betty White... (Maybe that's why I'm silly, inventive, and... on track to be really old? Well, here's hoping!) And Michelle Obama, Al Capone, Muhammad Ali... (I've never been in politics or organized crime, and I haven't punched anybody in the face before, but I guess there's a first time for everything.)

    Day two of being snowed in, and with how things are looking, tomorrow will be day three. This is when working from home is a bit of a bummer. Everybody else is enjoying a day off, but a certain bunny is still working. Well, almost. ;)

    @PrettyLilPrincess The roads were clear enough this morning that I was able to get everybody else out of the house, heh. My "cabin fever" is subsiding. :) I'm not actually a total curmudgeon when it comes to snow, but a little goes a long way. We usually get a couple of snow days each year. Hopefully these were them!

    I got a late Christmas present today: A new wood-splitting wedge and an enormous manly sledgehammer! I felt like Thor when I picked it up! (My little side ran and hid.) It only took me a few minutes to make about a hundred pounds of fire logs. I can't believe I ever did this with an axe. I feel dumb now.

    Just dropped a small piece of a project I was working on and ended up crawling all over the floor of my home office looking for it. I guess I don't crawl often enough, because doing so with a rather full diaper felt strange and new. It also made me wish these floors had carpet! Cottontail's fur-knees have some built in. My human, not so much.

    Carpet would be nice on the knees, but in a hardwood floor things that drop can be located—if with some difficulty.
    In carpet? It’s gone.

    @Labrador Very true. If not for the hardness of the floor, I wouldn't get to pick them out of my heels long after they were missed. :) Fortunately these diminutive components are usually pretty inexpensive, so buying with this sort of "attrition" in mind isn't unreasonable.

    "Dressing" cooked separately is fine. "Stuffing" cooked inside the bird lengthens the cooking time and can spread nasties like salmonella. By the time the show ended, "Stuffing is evil" had become a running gag on Good Eats. :geek:

    "Business"... of the complicated "family" persuasion! It was my father-in-law's funeral. He was estranged from a couple of his children, including my wife. I'm glad we were there though. Not going would only have deepened other divides and led to regret.

    My order of 70s-vintage diaper pins from eBay just showed up. Lots of good stuff in there, but I was especially excited about these (below). They're the closest things I've found to Cottontail diaper pins. You can bet I'll be usin' 'em this next week! ☺️
