I also ordered a pad today

Two pads. One in cool robot dinosaurs fabric, another in a bacon and eggs print.

The thing with decorative pads is that I fear I'll soon suffer from New Panties in a Skirt syndrome. You know, when you put your little girl in a dress and inadvisably pair it with brand new panties, so they flash everybody?

Yeah. I totally feel, should I wear them, like walking around going "I've got chili peppers. ON MY CROTCH. Yeah!"

I found that information (corroborated elsewhere) to be really cool... though finding out that there is such a thing as Sufganiyah definitely comes in a close second! This is *almost* enough to make me decide to convert, but I'm not interested in the religious things, just an excuse to eat yummy fried foods (and dress up on Purim and shout, but that's another holiday).

Children are eating milk and bread, I'm typing

Most of the questions on my poll were opinion questions. If you're curious, though, fairly reputable sources* tell me that ( Read more... )
