…to Deb, who certainly doesn’t need it, her popularity well deserved and knows no bounds. But if you are still not a fan, read this – and you’ll become one, for sure.
I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t like lemon curd. You, in turn, might choose not to trust anyone who makes bold, sweeping, and questionably necessary proclamations, but if I were to pick a completely superfluous soapbox to stand on, it’s currently this. Everyone loves lemon curd.

Follow the excellent recipe, here – and this is what you’ll get.
I made only one substitution: instead of jarred, used frozen cherries (12 oz package). It came out…divine. Thank you, Dan – and double thank you, Dan’s GrandMa Frances!

…to the blogroll: Helian
I recommend exploring some of the tags – at least the ones the author thought over and used often: Amity-Enmity Complex, Atheism, Communism, Ethics, Evolutionary Psychology, Good and Evil.
Planing to do so myself!
Чтоб не было недоумённых вопросов, за что в бан? А вот за это.

In these dangerous and dreary times, when darkness envelopes us and future is uncertain [insert a very sincere and highly motivational spiel appeal that will guarantee to pull at your personal heart-strings] – what could be better than instant gratification of a perfect cup of coffee?
I present to you Dreamwidth club we call Morning Coffee House.
Membership crosses international boundaries and stretches across races, backgrounds, political outlooks and unites People Who Know Better [than drink tea. At least in the morning.]
Here’s my contribution for today

[…]27 марта. Сочинила стишок:
…А им вослед старуха: “Нет!
Мой кашель не сухой!”
Ей из угла старик в ответ:
“Старуха, рот закрой!”
29 марта. Собака – не роскошь, а средство передвижения. Вот до чего мы дожили.[…]

Brian Micklethwait moved to a new platform – apparently, in May. [Yep, that’s how often I read my own blogroll…]
Gerard doesn’t write his immigration blog anymore.
Buttercup still did not return, same as other people listed as absent.
And I am… talking to myself, most of the time.

Yes, believe it: in these times of blogs scarcity I have a new addition* to my roll: Coyote Blog (coming via Dustbury). In recent post the author express the vision: to present a salon for policy discussion. Channeling Mr.Ford: I don’t mind all colors, as long as we continue to lean black libertarian…
*It is “new” only on my blogroll (and way overdue!); Coyote has been in existence since 2004 – and I decided to add them exactly when the author has doubts re: continuing the blog. Maybe by increasing its audience I’ll influence the author to reconsider, in my small way .
ЖЖ ottikubo:
Научный атеизм Лева сдал попущением божьим.
Ха! складываем в кармашек, т.е. в ленту.
Минутку, да тут у них гнездо! ЖЖ luukphi_penz
Конечно, не все птички щебечущие в комментариях нам интересны (ники по отдельному запросу), а кое-кто и решительно противен – ну так можно же тредов не читать, а читать только тексты. А тексты прекрасные. Хотела бы я через 10 лет быть хотя бы в половине такой формы! Вот, буду учиться правильно стареть.
ps
Нет, и в комментах попадается чУдное. Некий vovaminkin (есть у меня чувство, что Вове давно за 60): “Будучи профессиональным занудой, рад встрече с коллегой”.
Update:NOPE. Didn’t work, apparently
Продолжая запланированную зачистку следов в жуже, сейчас попробую убрать синдикат блога в ЖЖ.
Мне посоветовали внести лж IP в число блокированных на “моём сервере”. Не знаю, нету у меня отдельного сервера, и заблокировать в WordPress, кажется, можно только комментарии с выбранных IP.
Ну, попробую.
Так что: внимание

Если у вас пропадёт мой синдикат из жж-ленты, вы знаете, где меня искать.

Thank you, my dear readers and followers – I’m pleasantly surprised and grateful for your interest in my blog.

Spring-cleaned my blogroll:
-those no longer active, at least for 3 years, were deleted
-those with sporadic, if very infrequent, posts, were kept in – with encouragement to blog more
-those silent but too dear to my heart to dismiss entirely were put in “Private” folder, which becomes more of a martirologio.

I find trump and obama to be very similar, with the primary difference being that trump is vulgar, whereas obama is polished. Both made asinine promises and were/are beloved by those that don’t bother thinking about whether the promises work.
[…]our guy [50+ low-middle-class majority voter-ETat] isn’t a fool. He’s been watching for 40 years as slick, eloquent people promise him whatever it is they can convince him he wants. He was there when lbj promised “guns and butter”, and a “great society”, and delivered dependency and crime instead. He was there when carter promised to curb unemployment and inflation, and delivered stagflation. He was there when nixon said “trust me”, when bush said “read my lips”, when W talked about “wmds”, and when obama talked about “change”. He has seen too many slick smooth talkers promising unicorn farts to him to trust another, and he’s under attack right out loud by people that say, in plain language that his day is over. … except that he never had a day, he worked hard for everything he ever got.
Read the whole thread.
Ford_prefect42 is a new addition to my blogroll. Welcome!

Вчера выпал пустой день на работе – ни тебе пожара, ни потопа, почта в ящик не сыплется, за окном – сияющие небеса, похоже, все ушли на пляж.
Полистала свою ленту: негусто. Полистала ленты 3-4 friends: тоже как-то нешибко.
Вон скорбят по безвременно умершему полковнику бобу. Неприятный человек был покойный, с сильным конторским душком; помню листала когда-то его журнал. Lady doth protest too much. Такой же искусственно-нордический как его зубы. Ну и понятно, полно ханжеских стенаний в тредах. А вот смешно было бы, если б история с кирулиным хахалем повторилась: ну как нашлась бы какая из бобиных любовниц (в существовании множества не сомневаюсь), да разбила бы им всю благочинную картинку!
Вон бесноватая мочалка моля опять испражнилась, теперь уже на двоих сразу. В комментах её дожали – за что мол? обьяснила, ни за что конкретное, мол, лью дерьмо на человека; просто ненавижу. А, отвечают, ну это понятно, это легитимная причина. Тьфу на всю кодлу.
Пошла читать англоязычный блогролл: опа! Опа-на! Эх раз, ещё раз! Всё-таки хороший у меня нюх.
А в остальном, прекрасная маркиза – и правда всё хорошо: цветочки, море, походы, книжки, готовят вон всякое вкусное, картинки вон постят умильные о собачках с котиками. И это правильно! пойду и я, поучаствую в празднике жизни!

*Haspel:
You can give up smug superiority or cigarettes, but not both
He couldn’t give up superiority no matter how much he’d tried…it’s inherent. What’s infuriating – it is earned. Totally.
*Buttercup haven’t written a post for 1.5months. Is everything ‘lright? me worries.
* Dear A.A.B. calls them a calf’s liver. Fair enough…I prefer that liver chopped.
*Chaz G.Hill muses about IQ distribution and its influence on socializing – among other things.
*Karol, formerly a silent deserter to Twitter, has been posting series of articles in online MSM. Another change of career?
*Dan: I remember my promise. Need to buy a good chunk of beef with “sugar” bone for stock; until then…
* Jeffro, dear friend, the thought of you is still in the back of my mind. I remember you often. In a few days it will be a year since you died. RIP.
OK, I can’t read anymore. Time to get my hands busy, not my head.

…убрать мой блог из лент неприятных мне читателей? Знаю-знаю, свобода и равенство. Но противны мне их цели, усмешечки и не хочу чужих враждебных, глаз. WP в этом смысле предлагает альтернативу – защитить посты пассвордом, и предоставлять его по контролируемому списку.
Мне это нежелательно – хочется оставаться открытой для новых возможностей, новых читателей.
Не знаю, какая тенденция переборет.
А вот скажите, если обьявлю подписку, кто из вас запросит пассворд? Хочу прикинуть, сколько живых душ сюда приходит.
Да: пишу об этом по-русски, потому что не хочу, чтоб меня читали конкретные русскоязычные. С англо-американо-язычными у меня таких проблем нет.
