Actually everyone in Massachusetts drives that way. (And we still have the lowest automotive fatality rate in the country.)

I'd first suggest a really good sports bra — Moving Comfort makes some great ones. If that doesn't work for you, the arms and legs parts of the jumping jack don't actually need to go together! You will get great benefit if you do the "legs part" even with your arms both crossed over your chest, and the "arms part"…

People are individuals. So is each dog and each cat. Choose your pet with the care you'd put into choosing a person to be in your life, and focus on their individual character, and chances are you'll have a better relationship than if you sort by species.

Turns out [ugly, fat, disabled, whatever] people fall in love and have people fall in love with them and get married too. Happily, even.

I think it's worth being picky about whose opinions you choose to validate with. Definitely not going with taking public poll; think about how well that turns out for your average politician.

I heartily agree with this for dealing with the teeming masses. But let's remember to give a fuck about what the people who actually matter to us think, too.

Cronjobs running rsync scripts over ssh to my backup server. Also Time Machine for my OSX laptop.

Yow. I moved out of Washington State in 1996, and it looks like I managed to miss a bullet.

Only effective desensitizer for me was to take my meds in situ. If you are curious about this, read up on propranolol for PTSD.

I believe this, because horses who have rolled in snow are the cleanest horses ever. Even Icelandic horses, who have thick winter coats that would put the plushiest rugs to shame.

I take my meds as needed. Nothing else has done much for me.

NOITOMORP no worky

I started with C and it's still my mother tongue.

What's wrong with Festivus? You don't enjoy the Airing of the Grievances, or the Feats of Strength?

No.

How do you check for your name on the sites?

i shaved my legs and pits a few times when i was thirteen, fourteen, fifteen. i wasn't very clueful about it and looked like i'd been leeched. gave up when i was sixteen, never looked back, never even tempted to try again.

totally ridiculous, totally over-the-top. i LOVE LOVE LOVE lady gaga.

i've got a mere 12-pounder, and brined, but i also insist on stuffing the bird (frankly i make the world's best stuffing, and i like stuffing more than turkey anyway :) what are the stuffing-relevant changes you make to the recipe? seems like most folks are willing to just do away with what i'd consider an integral…

through trial and error, i have found that what works for me is some frozen vanilla yogurt with blackberries and bananas on it. or water with electrolytes. it depends.
