It's a small thing but what is it with people who squeeze tubes from the top rather than from the bottom. When you squeeze a tube of tomato puree, or toothpaste, or glue, squeeze the mutha up from the bottom so the next clown that uses it [ie me!] doesn't have to do all the squeezing up for every other ......... :rant:

I think hermits probably lose hermit status points if they get deliveries from Amazon.

Of course, one of the many attractions to the hermit lifestyle is not caring about any kind of status points.

All of that sounds like rations an evil government would issue to its citizens in some dystopian future.

Fortunately I won't have to worry about that, being a hermit and all.

I'll grow my own tomatoes. In my cave. Outside my cave?

Still figuring out all the cave logistics.

Nothing against tomato purée, I just don't think I've ever used it in the same sentence as sachet.

First time for everything.

I can live with that. Or like that.

In related news, I would like to take a moment to congratulate my upstairs neighbors on their adoption of a clog-dancing hippopotamus.

Got to credit the guy. He made a home of it.
Now the Independent Order of Rechabites is something I could do with out.
Order of the Twin Brothers. Dionysus and Bacchus is something to look at.
