Is it just me, my friends?

I thought when that Tide commercial , the one giving hope to folks by giving them clean clothes, first aired, there was no mention of Hurricane Katrina? I remember being struck by it's lack of mention when the thing first aired. I thought, "well, there's some shit just waiting to happen." and had already kind of penciled Tide off my list, but I'm getting up in years and I could be mistaken.

ETA: Ah-ha. Always look before you leap to conclusions. Thanks kyanoswolf!

Soooo, cookie day today! As Bob is my witless, I *will* make the cookies I have become so famous for. Well, at least here in the little Rose Manse. Every year, at the Opening of the Scared Can O' Cookies, the air is thick with suspense--will they be edible this year? Will they soften in hot cocoa or retain the consistency of brick? Will they be tasty, or will they hurt us? Ah, seasonal joy! The voices of the little childrern!
"Fuck, she put raisins in the oatmeal cookies again. I fuckin' hate raisins."

They don't say this out loud of course--a Mother knows. She reads the sparkle in her beloved children's eyes. "Ma, fuckin' Oma undies again? Did I not ask for the dental floss panties?" (paraphrasing of course)

Off to inhale deadly amounts of flour! Kisses!!

Heee! Lex is a Fangirl! He writes WA/Devilicus Slash, and that's why he closes his laptop so quickly when Clark arrives!

Hee! The season wouldn't be complete without such conversations.

Tides "CleanStart" was actually first implemented in response to Katrina.

Thank so much for the heads up--I added the link to my post!

This keeps cracking me up! I finished up my marathon of baking last night and now have trays and plates and racks of cookies stored all over the kitchen in random places waiting to be made into gift plates. I expect some of them to fall out of a cupboard onto my head before I'm done.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Ooo, I envy you! I've got my fingers crossed to get *all* of this plus the gift baking done today!

i'm laughing at the "will they hurt us" line. oatmeal cookies without raisins, btw, have no reason to exist. well, unless you've thrown in chocolate chips, and then all bets are off.

years ago, i baked for christmas. really, i should do it again, but probably won't. well, maybe next year, if you post one of your recipes!

*BLINK*

unless you've thrown in chocolate chips,

Omgosh...I think you just saved me! The little Fam will eat chocolate anything...yay!

Aaaaah, this I do is nothing anymore! Years ago, all my cookies would have been in labeled, color coded boxes with hand drawn and painted tags on them, not to mention handmade gift wrap on all the presents, tucked under the tree and written down in a book with a code known only to me describing the contents of each gift, the front porch decorated to look like a little living room, lights and greenery in every room...what a smacked ass I was!!!

Post my cookie recipes...eeeeh. They're hit or miss, really. My fave is lemon bars--you like the lemon, little one?

wow, i'd have liked seeing your house the way you used to do it up! i'm too damn lazy for anything like that, but i enjoy it when i see it. as-is, i have a single string of cheap lights over the mantel and three tiny tinsel trees, no taller than 12" each, stationed here & there. ho ho ho! it's enough for my purposes. *g*

mmmmm, lemon bars! you bet. :)

Reading this just made my morning so much better. I hate busy/have-to-think mornings of work. :( I should not have to think until after 1 pm!

But this made me smile! *hugs*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I should not have to think until after 1 pm!

I hear you--work is the devil!
At least you're smiling--a smile is the best way to start the day! Okay, I'm lying, I can think of one better way--but smiling is second best!
(if you do the first best one right, smiling's a given...)

[tabaqui]

Wheeeeeeeeeee!
You are such a goober, my darling. I luff you so.
*hugs you hard*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm*
never forget, I'm your own personal goober! *GRIN*

Ah, the joy of watching Tide do more for Katrina victims than the federal government... And they're better-organized, too.
