I respectfully disagree! :) Avocados are one of the most glorious things in the world...ESPECIALLY if they've been turned into my mom's guacamole! :D

Yeah... I seriously doubt avacados work on well for hemorrhoid relief. Image
Well, if you kept the buttcream in the 'fridge... :o

I also thought avocado as a sweet treat was just an abomination from hell.... but then I tried the avocado Maracon...... damn that thing was good, also on the same subject I have tried avocado popsicles, icecream and margaritas both here in Mexico and in the Mexican pavillion at Walt Disney World and damn, those things are good.

And just to brag, I am eating for lunch "pollo al pastor" that my motherinlaw made, hand made tortillas and my wife's mean guacamole........ heck! my mouth is watering right now! :D

Well naturally it's weird to think of avacados as tasty filling for macarons. :P That doesn't change the fact that avacados are infintiely better than buttcream. :)

Oh...and I'd be willing to try the avacado macarons at least once or twice. Most people I know cringe at the thought of eating a peanut butter and Miracle Whip sandwich, but I've enjoyed those as snacks since I was a kid. My paw-paw made them for me long before anyone ever told me that certain food combos were "gross" and affected my concept of what was "good" to eat and what wasn't. :)

Oh I agree. If I followed the idea that some combos "must be" gross, i would never have had Cream Cheese and Jelly or tried Volcano Rolls.

Actually, a mashed avacado paste might make a decent butt cream, as long as you left the hot stuff out! It's moisturizing... :lol:

Actually if you left the hot stuff in it you would be answering a particular set of fetishes. :oops:

According to MythIndex Phix, the original Greek sphynx, is:
Or Phix , a monstrous being of Greek mythology, is said to have been a daughter of Orthus and Chimaera, born in the country of the Arimi (Hes. Theog. 326), or of Typhon and Echidna (Apollod. iii. 5. § 8; Schol. ad Eurip. Phoen. 46), or lastly of Typhon and Chimaera (Schol. ad Hes. and Eurip. l. .c.). Some call her a natural daughter of Laius (Paus. ix. 26. § 2).
(emphasis added by me)
Does this mean that Bud, Brandi and Jin are collectively Phix's father? And Shelly's great-grandfather?

These Greek family tree's are confusing...

Having to do a factory reset of your phone is annoying. At least I backed up my apps for easy reinstallation this time and can connect to a computer again. Hopefully I won't miss any more calls.

We've got a new four-legged child in our home, too! :) Her name is Pepper. She's a tri-color Beagle, and she's 11 weeks old (6lbs according to the vet visit this morning). Unfortunately, my only pictures of her are posted on Facebook, and I don't know how to share them here. :(

What kind of person lets the air out of someone's bike tires at school? I had to ride home 3 miles on a half flat bike with a 45 lb backpack and a violin. My thighs/quadriceps are KILLING me. Boo to mean people.
