Hm, turn seriously passive aggressive, produce the 6 albums of substandard work. Sucks to be Sony - sorry, my muse has gone, this is the best I am able to do. Alternately, try to get a restraining order against Dr Luke. Sucks to be Sony if he can’t come within 150 feet of her.

I am anaphylactically allergic to mushrooms [the lovely portobello/button mushrooms that are endemic in cuisine] and some helpful ex-friend decided to prove to me it was all in my head. One police charge for attempted manslaughter, reckless endangerment and one lawsuit for them to pay all my medical expenses…

The rebirth of Glitch. It has a bunch of talented people working on recreating it in a different platform, but funding would make things worlds easier. A simple little nonviolent game, based on gathering and crafting and entirely enchanting.

My husband is the one that gets lost. I have learned how to use my GPS if I am headed to somewhere I am not familiar with. And pre-smartphone I knew how to read a map.

Being allergic to some ‘natural flavor’ packets for ramen, I developed a cheap version using the crunch and dent veggies - thin sliice a stalk of celery, a peeled carrot and half a small onion and add to the pot of water when you cook the ramen nodles so they all end up finished at the same time. Add a tiny amount of…

We grew up in the 60s and ate what was put in front of us - and we were fed the same things as our parents ate. My brother and I grew up eating spinach, lima beans, brussels sprouts, artichokes ... pretty much every veggie that kids now go eeewwwww about. <shrug> If you are raised eating what is fed to you as a matter…

Sounds fun, I was in Norfolk back in the 80s when the Soviets did a visit. It was interesting touring one vessel, and then being in Lynnhaven Mall when they unloaded busloads of Soviet sailors for a shopping trip. Really wish I could head down and see a Chinese vessel.

Thanks. Shit happens, and any smart military dependent needs to realize that while the spouse has signed away their constitutional rights, the dependent hasn’t so we do have a certain amount of power in an adversarial relationship with a command. You just need to know how to push back. Hell, at one point I resorted to…

My husband had to fight with his command - in the US Navy when a submarine is heading back to base, they mass order those annoying single red roses with a spray of babies breath and some damned fern so every crew member can hand them over to their wife/girlfriend/POSSLQ/shag buddy that shows up for homecoming.

Sorry guys - I drove one 3 years ago but it was the diesel manual version. Until I can get that over here in the US, won’t be buying one [though I dream of bringing one over. My favorite feature? The defrost wires in the windshield. So fast =) And I could defrost without roasting alive in that uncomfortable between…

All depends on your MOS. I worked in the civilian world as a nuke. If I could pass Nuke School just like my first husband, what the hell is there on a submarine that I could not do as a nuke [other than pissing standing up and impregnating a woman.] I can shoot, I run as much ammo through my weapon as my current…

If you haunt bento fan sites you can frequently get links to suppliers and great ideas. I adore bento ‘art’ - Ree has some really great stuff. [I would nrmally include a link, but my house burnt down last weekend and I lost my computer and all my links and I haven’t finished recreating them yet=( ]

Great article =) I have to say, I have been diabetic since 1980 and have actually run my days meals like this. If you *work* with your nutritionist, you can get a great idea how to make your menu choices do their jobs - I have [by this late date] made choosing daily foods such an ingrained habit - I know that my…

It is very odd going back into an older game - I still get SOE sending me codes for 30 days free for Everquest 1. Last year I decided to take them up on it and logged into my original started in 1999 account to discover that Freeport was entirely different from when I last logged out there. I ran around in a level 60…

Kai in Lexx had some pretty anime looking hair also.

My sous vide supreme. Holy shit-talk about amazing. I can toss vacuum sealed bags of meat in, set to a temp and wander off all day. When we get home, dig them out, toss them on a grill to brown the outside and *perfect* rare steaks. Perfect brown butter scallops. Moist wonderful chicken breasts sliced thin and added…

I have played EVE Online for about 6 years off and on. There is actually an all female corp - they require a pilot to be introduced to them by someone they know in game, and then they interview you on teamspeak. They had enough problems at the outset with guys trying to get into the corp.

Hm, leaving some way for someone to get in is not the same as saying that I need to wear a burka to keep from getting raped instead of jeans and a t-shirt. Leaving the window open is like wearing a bikini to walk down the street in a bad neighborhood. You may be able to wear a bikini to walk down the street in Bryn…

First off, get a freaking air conditioner. Use it. Lock your doors and windows.

Ouch. I like a well made black pudding, but the mushrooms would kill me [anaphylactically allergic, I carry *2* epi-pens.] Though I notice it has 4 fried eggs, not an omelet in the picture.
