I don't usually think of it as a shot if sipped, but I'm a whiskey drinker so if I'm sipping on a nice whiskey it won't be in a shot glass. Even without ice, in a double old fashioned glass it's merely 'neat.' But I wouldn't begrudge using the phrase "sipping on a shot of vodka" to describe the way your neighbor enjoyed her drink. The shot glass full of vodka is "a shot" she just chose not to "shoot" it.

I grew up in Virginia, so always ate fresh caught Chesapeake Bay shrimp from a 'waterman' we knew. I'm definitely spoiled. Out in California now so this is good info! Had a great shrimp dish recently when my boyfriend surprised me by buying shrimp.

Living in VA I see blue mason jars all the time. I have a small collection that I love but I find it absurd how widely the price ranges. Mine I bought for $2-3 a pop. I see them in the under $5 range every so often, but more often it's $6-12 or even more!

Knifemouth, do you think this option would be more likely to have bedbugs? I doubt that, having had a recent (and false!) bedbug scare and having done a lot of reading. The white of this hotel in particular would help finding them, and there is no reason a pod would have more bedbugs than a hotel room. Separating your belongings from your pod could actually be helpful.

Sounds delicious but since cucumbers are mostly water, you'll probably want to pair this meal with some protein or you'll be hungry again soon. I would definitely make it for a summer potluck though as a side.

Purple-y grey would be pretty, though you have to pick one with enough purple not to be too cool.

The second and fourth almost look like they could be dorms, but wow that's a lot of space to have! And singles, I was in a triple- there was about 8 sq feet of floor space!

Can I start this at this time of year?

I had been looking for one of those for months (didn't want the Starbucks one and they can be hard to find anyway) and just last weekend my sister gave me one from her college.

The mic sponge is pretty cute. Would have been fun to include in the days of "Every birthday present ever is from Bath and Body Works!" (aka middle school.)
