I use blue lead for my sketching. It erases well with a Mono (by Tombo) plastic eraser, and will scan clean (for the most part) when scanning it into a computer.

Practice. Lots and lots of practice. (there is no shortcut)

Ironically, I am an air traffic controller who can remain calm at work under some crazy situations. However, as an amateur artist (I am good enough to sell my art and attend shows, but not good enough to be a real professional), I will lose my s*** while making art. I will lose my s*** in no time at all over the most…

I am still bitter from my personal epiphany that every single ModCloth item I purchased has needed to be repaired—either initially, or after the first wear. Buttons, zippers, crap seams, the list goes on.

I have gotten to the point where if opposite direction “traffic” moves into my path, I go ahead and bump them. Also, if the person is too fixated on their phone—I bump them.

You read my mind.

Yeah, it is kind of a double-edged sword. Granted, one is not eating meat, but then one is eating a highly processed bunch of things made to resemble meat—which seems almost as detrimental to the body.

I simply ask, “have I used this in the last 5 years?” No? Then I probably never will use it and I don’t need to keep hoarding it.I have been making good progress with this approach—and subsequent declutterings have since narrowed down my parameters to 2 years or so.

SMOKE came off of my eyeballs during my PRK surgery. (similar to LASIK, but can get a bit more “in there” for really bad eyes/astigmatism) MY brother got it on video and it was awesome!
(...I was the only undrugged patient that morning who was happy/in awe of the operation...everyone else was scared and on Valium)

All these type of antics do is convince me that they are a bunch of rude jackwagons trying to bully people into getting on their mean, hateful bandwagon.

...there is a Biker Mice From Mars joke to be made here...

My 32-year old brother’s diet is mostly meat and soylent...sometimes bread/potatoes. I am not kidding. It is danged gross.

I wish there was, but I can’t help but think the “support group” would be bent on simply removing the guilt.

Once you get the hang of it, it will be very easy to maintain. I started off consciously making an effort, but now I easily go several days without eating any meats. Granted, I learned to cook alot more—which also is better in the long run. (...and cashew milk is an awesome alternative to dairy milk)

You bring up a good point. I have always been taught food respect. Heck, I have gone so far as to teach my dogs food respect. Three dogs—all perfectly trained to NEVER take another dog’s food until they have walked away from it.

This. Skillet with a lid. The pizza is just as good (if not better) than when it first came from the oven/delivery guy.

Most of the guys who have liked/loved me enough to cook for me know that my heart is only accessible when my stomach is full. To hell with “entitlements.” :-)

That poor OP needs to immediately recify that behavior in the man.

I had the same thought. This is the kind of guy that will refuse to take any “feedback” in bed because he believes that he is perfect.

I stabbed my brother in the hand with a fork over a slice of bacon that he tried to pilfer. Thick cut, perfectly crisped, and was reserved as “the best for last.”
