It is really weird when people keep going on about LJ as something from back in the day, when it's still where I fandom, because nothing else works as well. Very disconcerting!

And that was definitely a weird combination on the pancakes - glad you could eventually convince them to spare you the savory bits! I mean, soem odd combinations do work well sometimes, but you wouldn't think they'd be surprised at people not being exactly convinced.

Hope work is not too bad, though. :-/
