freaky. :(

Public transit, waiting in queues, waiting for people, waiting for things. That half hour between classes when you're too wigged out to study. When you're sitting on the loo...

use bleach!

Probably good to have it on the back left (or maybe both sides) so it'll alert you of people/cars/other cyclists creeping up behind you. Otherwise, paying attention to the road suffices. Nothing is going to save you from being doored except staying 2' away from parked cars or being observant about the people in those…

Don't allow any apps on facebook. Don't use facebook to login or comment on any other sites (like LH, or blogs, or whatever). Should be simple enough.

make art!

this. Kitty only goes out (on the balcony!) under supervision. For more open spaces she gets put in a harness and on a leash.

I think you can separate "weight" from "health". Without going to a Dr, this is mostly conjecture (you'd want to get a check-up, bloodwork, cholestrol, etc). Are you healthy? Do you feel good about your fitness? Do you feel good about your body? If you think so, then your weight doesn't matter.

people do that at the library, too! :(

are you one of those people who have an aneurysm everytime you discover that there are people out there who don't have the same opinions and lifestyle as you?

The sign-language thing is incredible. My advisor's baby was communicating by sign-language way before he could speak.

I was in HCMC for 3 months a couple years ago, and personally witnessed this when the toddler downstairs did a sudden number 2 in the lobby of the building where I lived just as I walked by her into the elevator. Fun stuff.

Hear hear!

So much outrage over a new dinosaur!

I do. Just because you personally don't use the library doesn't mean loads of people in your community don't, either.

mm, jerky. Chickpea snacks. Edamame.

Sauces and seasonings. Oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, curry pastes, Italian herbs, flavoured salts, pepper, herbs, all sorts of spices. Today's stir-fry will be different from yesterday's stir-fry using the same vegetables but different spices or sauces. Mix it up with rice or noodles.

If you hate writing I hope you're not going into a field that requires a lot of writing!

I <3 this response. Special ed is a great field to go into.

I may be preaching to the choir here, but as a grad student who teaches, I just want to tell you university-bound kids, don't go to university unless you're interested in learning. Don't go to university because you think the piece of paper you get at the end is going to get you a great job.
