Hmm, good to know, in a Schadenfreude sort of way (obviously it’d be nicer if people didn’t end up developing such allergies!).

I have had a great number of friends develop allergies in their mid-30s. I didn’t even know about the age twenty bump.

Yeah, I too am sorry I looked it up on the Web yesterday. “Quintip” is printed on the sheet of results that the second nurse gave me.

So, I got all excited about learning a new word (“quintip”). Then I looked it up to doublecheck, only to learn that it’s a trademark. Except in the Urban Dictionary definition, which I frankly would rather not have learned.

*nods* This is one advantage to my not being a Real Grownup: less stuff to break. Also, doilies and cardboard squares are not very satisfying missiles.

I use beer mats instead of coasters for my mugs – both at home and in work.

I will say, sadly, that while we have a lovely collection of coasters, we had to put them all away once the kids got to the pulling-up-stage, as they became throwing toys par excellence.
