I am a sucker for "bringing back retired" stuffs.

In this case, it's retired dish patterns. (I voted for "Butterfly Gold", which I grew up with, and two others, which I did *not* grow up with. Butterfly Gold is white with gold shapes on the edges.)

Now I'm going to vote on Ben and Jerry's flavors. Again. Anything else I can vote on?

On the subject of dishes....

A few years ago, I noticed a set of Those Dishes I Grew Up With at the Everything Goes, and I scooped it up and bought it.

Now that I know what it's called, I'm cruising Ebay, and... wow. I guess I never realized that you could have everything in your kitchen match. I mean, wow.

Now, if I decided to spend any of my very hard-earned cash on this, I suppose I'd better drop my policy of not letting anybody near my dishes ever raaaar, right? And, y'know, use them instead of saving them for the ever more mythical day when I move out. (Not on $300 a month, I don't!)

But still... Let me make this clear. The way to my heart, at this moment? THOSE DISHES. Just, y'know, check with me, because I've got some 200 plates, but I'm really short on cups (they made mugs like that? And glasses? Wha?), and I'd hate to have more plates but less cups. (I'll pay people back! Really! AND love them, and who can say fairer than that?)

Just think about it. Also? See the above icon. I haven't tried it out yet, but it could very well be true. THINK ABOUT IT.

Voice Post

Yeah, please listen to this post and vote on the upcoming poll!

Here's that poll!

And I know you listened and are prepared, yes?

[Poll #936001]

Please vote, thank you.

Interesting.

Very preliminary results indicate that the closer to New York you live, the less likely you are to think I speak like a New Yorker.

Of course, with a sample size of three (and myself), I shouldn't even be making this post.
