942 979 On a related topic, we've just had lunch out and I ordered a brandy with my coffee. It came in a cold glass with an ice cube I hate it when they do that

It's been awhile since I've drunk brandy... What is the preferred method?

942 977 What is the preferred method? Sipping slowly It helps too if you have a brandy glass - rounded at the bottom so you can cup your hands around the glass and warm the brandy to increase the aroma.

We seemed to lose a lot of people with the move to the new host - were they all inactive or lurkers? Karen the Librarian for instance?

942 973 I'm sorry to hear it's not an easy pregnancy. I hope the delivery makes up for it. And of course the baby and being a mum. I hated hearing platitudes like "it's all worth it in the end" bla bla

942 972 I always said the third trimester was there to make the delivery more appealing by comparison...

942 967 I hope you get a reduction in rent, Claudia. Pat had a very early phone call from the hospital this morning: her recent blood test showed that she was low on potassium and could she arrange for another blood test urgently. So it's time to buy some more bananas

Joke for those who have some knowledge of music theory:
The G7 conference should be followed by a Cmajor conference because that would resolve everything ...

942 954 Pat woke me this morning with some urgency, "you have a dental appointment in 40 minutes time," she said. I was in deep sleep in the middle of a dream at the time. Fifteen minutes later when I had woken up, I worked out my dental appointment was tomorrow

942 951 I'm not looking forward to tomorrow's visit to the dentist. He's clumsy and is likely to cause me a lot of pain with the skin at the side of my mouth*, as he has done in the past. I ought to go to a different dentist but a voice inside me is saying, "better the devil you know." * where the inside joins the outside. Happy Dentist Eve, then! Thanks Sarah... I think
