I just keep some boxed milk around. It goes on sale fairly often at the grocery store, usually is good for at least 6 months if not longer.

Came here to sat something similar. Years ago, I learned that one can use evaporated milk in place of heavy cream or half and half in many recipes. I always keep a couple of cans on hand as, like you, I live alone and do not drink a lot of milk. You can also use 1/2 evaporated milk + 1/2 water to replace milk in a…

If I saw that happening to a woman at dinner, my dinner would be ruined. It makes me ill. So yeah. I'd put it on trip advisor.

I know you didn't. I saw your response. We're not going to agree on this one.

I kind of loathe this idea... you're asking customer service to become your middleman and putting them in an awkward position. What if the person you're ultimately trying to get in touch with isn't really part of the customer service department?

The pretty and fragile victim trope continues to dominate the American box office (Maleficent, Frozen)

I was making a sarcastic comment on her thoughts that the women of Frozen were fragile victim types as that is not at all what I gathered from the movie. (Adults love their Ice Queen, too!)

How were you able to watch a different version of Frozen from everyone else?

I think the author is confusing vulnerability and flaws, qualities which many male heroes have too, with fragility.

Or Maleficent for that matter. Aurora is hardly fragile in it, despite the spinning wheel curse.

Who is the pretty, fragile victim in Frozen?

Wearing the same outfit as Violet Beauregarde is the real crime here.

Yep. "Floor Lamp." It's my one woman performance piece.

I know, right? It's a serious problem. I don't live with my mom. Yet.

I live alone in a rather large, Edwardian flat with 13 foot ceilings. When the bulbs burn out in my ceiling fixtures I will carry around a floor lamp from room to room. I plug it in and do my business and then move on, rather than just change the bulb. I did this once for a month straight before I finally pulled out…

Great choice! I'd say probably a Cabernet sauvignon. I'm on a real raspberry Danish twist/Pinot noir kick these days.

"Save the giblets!"

I like to multitask (or more accurately, I hate mono-tasking unless that task is extremely engaging), and I also like watching subtitled things, which results in me watching foreign stuff while doing whatever I can do without taking my eyes from the screen, which is pretty much limited to stretches and exercises that…

I hold full, out-loud, long conversations by myself, pretending I'm a guest on WTF with Marc Maron. Sometimes I politely argue with him; sometimes we battle; sometimes I just charm him with my stories and wit. It's intensely self-indulgent and embarrassing and I love it. I would DIE if someone overheard me. I have a…

Rehearsing out loud the arguments I will never have with people who have upset me sometime between twenty five years ago and today, when I'm angry.
