I've just started knitting again after a several year break, but I've been very productive. A couple of my finished projects:

I set down a sock in frustration (a 46 row heel flap? Uh not gonna work) and opened Jez. Don't have a picture of the frustrating sock, but I recently finished designing and knitting a shawl for myself. It's supposed to look like a Kansas wheat field skyline. It is full of snuggles for me.

I'm working on a buttload of things because I just came into about 50lbs of wool.

How about crochet? I made an amoeba recently. And a grumpy turnip.

YAY FOR KNITTING!

No, I just can't believe how much of an asshole you are. They didn't confirm anything because their was almost no real information. Listen to the interviews with experts like the guys from flight global. There was just not enough information for anyone to say anything with any certainty and to do so would be utterly…

Consider that you're basing your opinion of the required amount of emotion on Western standards. In Asian (including SE Asia) society, it would be a sign of weakness to get weepy and emotional, as well as disrespectful to the families of the victims for being unprofessional. You may as well have asked him to stop…

Robin! Quickly!! Hand me the Batrope the Penguin has just arrived!!!

He died for our cuisines! :starts running away dodging thrown tomatoes:

The menses will probably just gush out of her and put out the fire though :(

"Male" and "female" are adjectives. Male humans are called MEN, just like female humans are called WOMEN. If I were describing a male sheep, I'd call him a ram and if I were describing a female sheep, I'd say ewe.

He's a bro who bullies rich kids.

Assault = non-consensual Fight Club.

Glenn on The Walking Dead is a good example. He's smart but not nerdy, tough, likable, and has pretty much the only good romantic relationship on the show (with a pretty white lady).

I want an asian man that has a fully developed character, is not emasculated or used as the pun of all jokes. Preferably one that has a love interest and is not some asexual pun.

Kidnapping: non-consensual baby sitting

A few months after the death of a baby my husband and I very much wanted, I found out that a friend had had an abortion. She was terrified to tell me because she thought that I would hate her for killing her child (her words) when I couldn't have mine. Her sister used me as an example of why abortion is evil. I was…

Japanese castles are always very interesting. Even just the ruins can be quite telling. I used to wonder why I could never find anything about advanced siege weapons in early Japanese warfare (before gunpowder cannons). Siege engines have always been a huge part of ancient and medieval warfare in Europe, the Middle…

If anyone did want to buy this, I found it on amazon.co.jp for 5578 yen or around $55 before shipping. I'm still deciding if I want it or not.

Wow, this is an amazing story. I'm glad her parents felt encouraged by it, but at the same time it must have been very sad. I can feel their pain...
