You're defining a tool in the context of your construction experience, which certainly makes sense, but it isn't the only definition.

The whole world's out to get me. The accessories are just the enemy's front lines.

Nope!

I broke my arm playing tag. Mind you, I also broke my toe trying on shoes, my tooth putting on shoes, and had two concussions from going to the bathroom and picking up a purse, respectively.

I was going to post the same thing, and that class reunions don't need to be all about you. I didn't make my 10-year, but my 5-year reunion was a nice opportunity to spend some time talking with people that I knew, but not as well as I would've liked to because we were in different cliques or whatnot. I always…

Nifty - an interesting article! So... assuming the limit is something hinged on weight, what if humans are in an environment where gravity is reduced?

@wmoro: You're assuming that the readers are identifying with the males, though... which they might not necessarily be doing. There might be something about the powerlessness of Bella that they identify with as well. (Not having read more than three paragraphs of the first novel, I couldn't really say more than…

I agree about the importance of tone; a lot of the time, it seems like we fight more because of perceived (or deliberate) insults or hostility. Suddenly we're enemies and no one's interested in listening - we all just want to win.

@toleraen: Oh for the love of god, it's not like I'm recommending everyone go out and deflate their tires for the winter. What I'm saying is that having less air can sometimes give you a bit more traction in icy conditions.

The big two for me are keeping your car in good repair (that means having ample windshield fluid, too) and not making any sudden moves.

One year my dad filled my stocking with coal. Normal kids might get upset, but I thought it was awesome. What was even better was that the rest of his rock collection that he'd had since he was a kid was wrapped in a box under the tree.

@Pessimippopotamus: Seriously, I finally figured out what I felt went wrong with the second movie awhile back - it was missing Geoffrey Rush.

It's The Lady, or the Tiger? all over again.

While white, black, green, oolong and pu-erh do come from the camellia sinensis plant, and different processing methods make the different sorts of tea, it is important to note that there are many different cultivars or varieties of the camellia sinensis plant used to make the different sorts of tea. Pu-erh and…

Well I'll be damned.

I went to co-ed public and private schools until high school, and then an all-girls high school before co-ed college. I would not change any of them (except possibly middle school, but really, hating middle school is a rite of passage). I have lots of guy friends (many of them since high school) and no problem with…

@jessnevins: At this point in my life I've gotten a little meta-

@Wit is periodically disensouled: Because including it in the body

I've a huge soft spot for pulp science fiction. I've read a lot of
