Used to work with a Dutch guy who made fruit cake from ingredients that had been soaked in alcohol for over a year.

Friggin awesome.

This whole thing got started about a week ago when I bought some chopped dates and cheap dark rum, but failed to inventory my fridge for all the other things I need for a fruitcake. By that time, I had my dates soaking. Good to read this post. I was a bit worried that there was such a thing as too long.

Good luck, Luckie and Esq.

I'm on call, and hoping I don't get one. I can't wait until my commitment period is up because sitting around for eight hours to maaaaaaybe get a call that someone has been sexually assaulted sucks. I went through a month of intensive training for this, and I want to use it, but it fucks with my head because I don't want anyone to suffer.

Laughing to myself about a conversation I had with my mother earlier.

"You know your biological clock is ticking?"

"No, mum, I had my biological clock permanently set to snooze. That ticking you hear is the bomb that will go off if I keep having to hear about you wanting to be a granny."

HAHA I get the same thing from my own mother.

At least I am back in the States. No more going back to the Middle East. Finally have a new position back in Tampa.

That's good to hear. I've been meaning to ask but then I keep getting distracted. I'm happy for you
I'll have to show up sometime and convince you to take me to Bush Gardens

Bush Gardens? Is that where they grow weeds like George and Jeb?

It's an amusement park

Everyone knows my bio clock is permanently off.

Mom has given up and just buys dog toys for her fur grandbabies.

But are any of the Bushes truly amusing?

hock:

Hahaha! It's actually Busch Gardens, like Anheuser Busch. I don't think Anheuser Busch owns it anymore, though.
