Ah, vision, not sound, is the new "in" way to wake up! Thank you, I was confused about why I'd lost the respect of my children.

I have a question! Do you know why my plant died? I just got a free planting of sorrel (which I'd never heard of before) and it died on me within 2 weeks, even though I watered it a few drops every day just like the guy told me to. It hurt bad - I didn't even get to try this mystery plant for a taste before it wilted into pathetic nothingness.

I had a coworker - who had also been my 9th grade science teacher - who refused a straw, calling it a "sissy stick". I now eschew the straw and call it a sissy stick to this day because of Gary. An aside: even when I used straws, I never used one with sweet tea (unsweet tea is now my choice, but that's a different story or aside) because tea was never meant to be imbibed with a sissy stick.

Also...paper straws remind me too much of Popsicle sticks, which remind me of tongue depressors. My mouth is drying out just thinking about it.
