Just returned from a short hop to Key West to pick up "groceries" at the "European Market".  European my #######.  It's an Uzbek store, but close enough for my wife.   Discovered a new game

Mrs. T-B.'s recent din-dins have been delicious in theory, except that she smothered everything in cilantro, which I have told her thousands of times is prohibited in our house (even one flake thereof) and is legitimate grounds for divorce.

 

Self-explanatory comment about (un)happy marriage:

 

Wife:  Why don't you like what I cook?

Husband:  Why don't you cook what I like?

Tell her to skip the cilantro and cook with culantro instead.

Please don't. One of him is more than enough.

Do you get the reference?

It is a tale of redemption.

 

O Lucky Man may be more acceptable.

I have seen If... a bunch of times (ex was a fan -- which is kind of telling) and did not know there was a sequel of sorts.

Available on Amazon Prime if you have that.

 

Alex and Voldy the ex both went to boarding school together, but it was co-ed and by Alex's telling relatively pleasant, not somewhere he wanted to shoot up.

I was day but we had a (few) girls in the 6th, classes they could not do at the County High or Ursuline.

 

A co ed Boarding School would have been interesting.

It blew Al's mind because up until that point he'd been tutored only at home (did not know you could do homeschooling in the UK but I guess you can?) and only had his sister as a fellow pupil. Then he showed up at 16 to rub the rough edges off to get into a decent university and there were all these... girls. He rather enjoyed himself I think! Voldy started at 13, I can't imagine being sent away that young but there were kids there who started at 11.

 

I went to college with a bunch of prep/boarding school people, and most of those had gone to coed schools. Only a few went to all girls' like Miss Porter's (I remember that one because my mother used to threaten to send us there when our manners were lacking).
