P.S.:
I left a trap for a really high-strung woman at work. Can’t wait til she comes over to my desk all flustered and apologizing.
Debb and I went to Costco a few weeks ago and bought a box of Chex Mix bars to have as snacks; we’re both working on losing weight, and keeping bad stuff out of the house, but these were 130 calories each and we’re not anti-snack-food commies. But we weren’t enjoying them, they’re too salty and generally unpleasant, but we’re also cheap and have difficulty not eating something we’ve bought. But in the end we decided to eat the loss instead, and I took the box to work to let the locust swarm take them.
And take them they did…there were about 30 in the box and they lasted for just over 24 hours. But just before they all went, I put up a sign. Sorry about the crappy pic, I had to borrow someone’s cellphone.

Yeah, we’ve been working hard at keeping the snacks out of the house. Our one concession is the minibags of microwave kettle corn, which I tend to avoid because I hate picking kernels out of my teeth for days afterwards. I think the biggest downside is that when you do succumb to the urge for a snack, whatever you end up getting outside of the house will be worse than what you would have had on the shelves.

It has been a long time since I spurt liquid through my nose. Thank you. (by the way, I am way bigger than you by 40-50 baleenish pounds and would harm some one, mildly, to be your weight.)

snagy – have you ever heard of the Nori?

Oh, that’s great. Yes, I could see some people freaking over that.
I made serious amount of money (for a dog park one year, a rocketry club another) running those “honor bar” things. I bought packaged cookies and cheesy crackers for $.10 or $.12 and sold them for $.50. I had co-workers bugging me to bring in more after the drive was over.
