Grandma's impatience means we stay home! / GLEE / Bezoars

Steph called to say she woke up, and Mom had already taken the two old ladies out for lunch - I bet Grandma got impatient as usual. Guess we'll both be staying home, which is fine. Seems I have a month to eat these Munchies before they expire. (not 1.1 kg of them anymore, thanks to last night!) I can do it, oh yes! :P (maybe it's just me, but they don't seem to have them anywhere except in 7-11... then again, perhaps I'm not looking closely enough!)


Facebook quiz taken from Citrus:

Leslie completed the quiz "Which Glee character are you?" with the result Puck. You love football, and feeling better than everyone else. You're a bit of a bully, and don't really understand other people too well.




You Are Silver



You are down to earth and unpretentious. You don't feel like you need to show off, and you're very secure with your place in the world.

You are understated and elegant. You carry yourself with poise, and you're more known for what you don't do than what you do.



You can fit in anywhere from a country western bar to a black tie gala. You are adaptable and adventurous.

You are blind to social class and background. You see people as who they are ... not as where they came from or how much money they have.





Poo nugget for this weekend: Caveat Emptor - The phrase, meaning "let the buyer beware," has its roots in a seventeenth-century English case involving the apparent fraudulent sale of a bezoar. A bezoar is a concretion formed in the intestinal tract that centuries ago was thought to have medicinal properties. We now know that the formation of this stone is a sign of gastrointestinal disease. This case involved a suit by the purchaser of the bezoar claiming that the bezoar did not harbor the medicinal properties claimed by the seller. In ruling in favor of the seller, the court made no mention of the fact that bezoars were unlikely to confer any real health benefits, but hinged the decision on the notion of caveat emptor.
