You could probably freeze it and then break it into pieces with a rolling pin or a hammer...

If you freeze it soaked in vodka, it will actually get softer, and boozy. Then you could cut it into pieces and enjoy.

Brilliant!  Although I might still opt for the slowly gnawing process even with the vodka . . .

Vodka bears also works really well with non-melty gummies too.

Just put the gummies of choice (bear or bear-sized gummies work best) into a tupperware and fill with vodka (any variety) until just covered. Freeze for at least 1 week. Enjoy.

I learned that a friendship can truly be measured by whether or not you will help them move in 90 degree weather.

I'm pleased to report that I originally read this as "non-equity gummies". (Although I guess that works, too!  ;D)

Today I learned no matter how awful and obnoxious they were when they were kids, older brothers grow up to be kind, compassionate and helpful human beings.

Yesterday, I learned how to knit.  I have been crocheting forever, but never picked up the knitting needles until yesterday.

Today I learned that you can in fact put down spike tape on an outdoor, asphalt basketball court!

Today I learned to just go for it. Hey, I'm still young, right?

Two days ago I learned that orca whales can sleep one half of their brain at a time and run on a sort of auto-pilot while doing so.  I WANT that skill.

Today I learned that the color on dental crowns is hand-painted on each one, with tiny, tiny brushes.

At our ASL show today, I learned the sign for ballet/dance.  I also learned the sign for "hoo-hoo". 

I also reaffirmed I have a weird job.

Today I learnt (and this is a direct quote) that "I think the key is a sharpened stick".

Today I learned how to get people to listen to you even when you have NO CLUE if what you're doing is right at all. Also, I'm getting much better at scaffold-climbing.
Don't be so reverent about reality. It's just a trick, done with mirrors.

I learned that dropping a com set on an assumed broken toe WILL make certain that the toe is broken.  :o

I also learned that said broken toe will turn many colors during the course of a tech rehearsal.
