I work retail. As much as people complain about the church crowd, it’s the wedding industry people that make me want to jump the counter.

I tend to play about 90% Renegade. Salty Femshep is best Shep. I can’t go 100% Renegade because it requires being mean to Tali and I CAN’T.

My experience has been that any jeans with stretch (that I’ve bought, anyway, and I’ve tried quite a few brands) cannot survive chub rub. I walk about 5-7 miles a day for my job and I have yet to find a pair of jeans that does not shred within a few months, even if I don’t put them in the dryer. Went looking for 100%…

The only place I’ve been able to find Romano in my region is Wegmans.

Not gonna lie to ya Marge, I sometimes ask for gabbagool at the deli just to see if the person behind the counter knows what it is. Only one person so far has NOT given me a blank look.

My mother loved me, but she did not love me unconditionally, and I often told people there was a reason why I lived 300 miles away. She dumped me on relatives multiple times until I was about 20 but still tried to control my life and was frequently critical of the choices I did (or did not) make. Nothing was ever good…

Bogus. I’ve never had a problem finding it, so I think the turmeric fad probably just didn’t take off with white people here - I see it listed occasionally, but not everywhere. We also have a large Indian and adjacent population, so maybe there’s also enough demand to maintain an adequate supply in general. I don’t…

Do you have an Indian, Asian, or even a generically “international” market? The ones where I live have substantial bags of turmeric. I try to buy some spices at their relevant markets when I can; you can usually get a lot more for way cheaper than Amazon or Penzeys, plus it’s supporting a local business.

I moved to Baltimore in ‘99, where I had neither family nor friends. Never regretted it for a minute. I left in ‘08 because the crime in my neighborhood got out of hand and I couldn’t afford a safer part of town. I miss the city a lot. I miss Korean fried chicken from Lexington Market, that Greek cafe on Pratt, and…

I’ve heard good things about this, and I had it on my wishlist before my last trip and couldn’t decide if it was worth it when I had an extremely limited amount of luggage space to work with. I might go ahead and try it next time. I cannot sleep on moving vehicles, including planes, but I do at least close my eyes and…

I have general panic disorder. Fortunately, it is not severe, and I’ve dealt with it long enough that I know the feelings I get when my brain is prepping to pour a bucket of Red Alert chemicals into my limbic system. Most of the time, I can divert it with documenting my feelings - typically if I can pinpoint what’s…

I use Lush’s H’Suan Wen Hua a few times a year (because it’s expensive) and more commonly I use Palmer’s Coconut Oil Hair Mask - $1.25ish for a pouch that lasts for 2-3 uses. I don’t style my hair at all - wash and air dry - but it takes a lot of abuse with a gel ponytail holder at work.. I have massively thick,…

I also made a stupid little text RPG when I was about six years old on a Tandy that booted on a 5.25" drive and “installing” programs was done by entering tens of thousands of lines of BASICA. For me at that age, it was more about the basics of storyboarding than programming, because it was all if-then-goto, nothing…

My family was military, and they’d sometimes invite home a young soldier or two who had nowhere else to go for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner (often with the ulterior motive of introducing them to ~19-20 yr old me, but I wasn’t having ANY of that). This conversation was 20 years ago, so I do not recall how we got on…

Also: try to buy the cards that come in cardboard packaging with a tear-off strip over the codes.

I saw Cats live when I was ... probably 12? I loved it.

I love that album but pretend “Spirit Carries On” isn’t on it. Barf.

And it’s amazing how relevant it still is 30 years later. Just change a few names.

I inevitably have several pounds of snacks in my bag by the end of a trip, but it was a glorious day when I realized I could bring home CHEESE. It was too late to secure a pound of hushallsost, as I’d already left Sweden, but I loaded up on brunost and some smoked Finnish cheese (the latter of which I chopped up into…

Standard grocery store eggs, yes, but I get my eggs from a minion who has chickens, and there’s a huge difference in taste (and how they cook) between those, but I didn’t notice any difference between those in UK or European eggs in general.
