A little off color, but only by Canadian standards.

What did you have for supper?

Another true story. I made some killer gravy from scratch over the last two days. I went to this big pot luck and I figured all the food would be served cold.

So, I have this brilliant idea to make gravy and bring my fondue pot and some sterno. I figured they would probably carry me around the room on their shoulders, that is how brilliant my idea was.

When I get there, I ask where I can set it up and they inform me that they have 60 gallons of gravy. 60!

And the worst part is that mine leaked into the rolling grocery bag I took it in and made a terrible mess.

That was a real, "Wow, just, wow" moment.

When I got back to the yacht, I finally broke down into tears. Thank god that one of the servants was here to wipe my eyes and fix me some caviar. I don't know what I would do without them.

How can love be seen? You made this claim previously, were challenged cbayer Nov 2014 #38
oxyticin Lordquinton Nov 2014 #39
First off, it's spelled oxytocin. cbayer Nov 2014 #40
yes it is released at childbirth as well Lordquinton Nov 2014 #41
Oxytocin is massively released during the delivery and is not correlated with the rush cbayer Nov 2014 #42
so you can't back up your claim? Lordquinton Nov 2014 #43
You are very confused at this point. You made the claim. I challenged it. cbayer Nov 2014 #47
no, you said there was no study showing a link Lordquinton Nov 2014 #49
Your amended statement is just fine. I agree and accept it. cbayer Nov 2014 #50
do you retract yours? Lordquinton Nov 2014 #51
No, there is no correlation. cbayer Nov 2014 #52
