It does, but I’m a little disturbed that I never really noticed the rampant sepia tones. I mean I kind of did, but the sky is so much more BLUE in 4. God... I can’t wait.

Raging Bitch is pretty tasty. I concur, I hope no one tells them.

Not if it’s PLAIN. Because then you can substitute it for sour cream. *ponders cooking ideas*

As weird as it sounds I am fascinated with the science of the whole ‘after’ part of things. The short version is I’ve learned a lot about forensic anthropology for a non-scientist. Vaults and embalming actually freak me out a lot now; it strikes me as extremely unnatural. I wish we could have skipped that for my dad,…

Nope... especially when there has been zero discussion about what they wanted, and you’re well aware there’s no money for it and the funeral home is trying to make money without seeming like they’re making money.

It’s a funny thought, but when I lived on a farm, my cat used to come in from outside and he smelled amaaaazing. Fresh air, grass, whatever else. I almost feel bad for keeping him inside these days but having him alive is better than getting that smell back.

Depends on where you live. There’s a fascinating article about home funeral/burial from Smithsonian from a few years ago (which is why I know way too much about this subject). For example, in NYS, if you have land, you can designate part of it as a family cemetery. However that includes some rules about maintenance.…

That was amazing.

LL Bean makes nice backpacks.

I finally realized last year that I do that same thing. I’m 35.

You... can keep pretty much all meat in the freezer, for a long time even. It doesn’t have to be processed. Hell, I have a chest freezer full of grass-fed, ‘free range’ (well, there’s a big pasture), no-antibiotic/hormone beef right now. Full disclosure though, it came from my MIL’s herd, and meeting the standards of…

But... I love Tilapia... it’s like the mushroom of the fish world... such a nice flavor sponge...

I think it was a commenter here, but it might have been another site, who said their father would ask them: “have you been told today?” - what he meant was, have you been told today that you’re an asshole?

I kind of think that that is a brilliant approach. Maybe ‘you’ aren’t an asshole all the time, but rest assured,…

To the first story, I think I’d have called the police after the demand for comping them for the food they’d eaten. Pretty clearly attempted fraud. For the second, I can concur that strokes will in fact change a person’s personality... whether that was really the case or not, it’s a decent excuse when coupled with a…

He’s also probably high at least that often...

Depends on the cat.

I think it would be more like, I know you’re a dick, I’m taking your food anyway, but that doesn’t mean I like you. My oldest cat is generally a good judge of character, although sometimes I think it depends on whether the subject is pro or anti-cat. My younger cat is a moron though, and thinks he’s a dog, so he will…

Watch Archer. You’ll be able to add more :D

... But I sleep in there sometimes. >.>

I was visiting a friend, and we were saying goodbye out at my car, when we heard what is for me the LOUDEST climax I’ve ever aurally witnessed, via an open apartment window. She and I just looked at each other and she said ‘well, that was awkward’. Then we laughed uncomfortably. Then I drove home. If I’d actually…
