I had been struggling with what to bring to a pot luck on Friday and I think I have now found my answer. 

A restaurant where they do that? Where they’re not also sitting at the bar to eat food? No.

Not sure what restaurants you've been going to, but I've never had that happen. If people are ordering drinks with their dinner the server usually brings them.

I did that once and it was glorious. I get to decide when I’m done with the meat parade, no one else, and there’s none of that waffling about, oh, do I want to admit that I’m still not full when everyone else is dramatically sighing about how they’re going to explode?

I can’t lie, I absolutely love going to a crowded restaurant on a weekend night and walking past the people waiting in the lobby to go sit at the bar, no wait.

One of the best servers I ever had was a very nice lady who showed me how to turn the salt shaker holder centerpiece thing into a book stand so I didn’t have to leave my book flat on the table. 

With headphones, I hope. One of the things I hate the most in the world is when I’m in a crowded restaurant (already noisy) and the people at the next table are letting their kids watch videos without headphones and the volume up at full. :|

The main challenge that has faced this solo diner has been restaurant staff who seem to think that I’m a loss of a tip and thus ignore me or treat me like a burden on their time. I’ve had some stellar service as a solo diner, don’t get me wrong, but most of the time when I show up and say I want a table for one I get…

I usually split it into two pans and freeze one for later baking, but a loaf pan sounds even better. More edges that way....

The only problem with cooking for yourself is that you have to eat all the leftovers yourself. By the fourth day of lasagna it’s just eaten straight out of the tupperware over the sink.

Not to mention the design alone will be the number one topic of adjusting.

It’s like watching an alien pretending to be an ordinary human wormbaby

I picked it up in a Steam sale and logged in, all interested to see what it was about, and all I had were requests from people who needed more help than just a simple note of encouragement. I closed the game and haven’t gone back in. :/

Because when teenagers aren’t aware of what the child labor laws say, it’s really easy for companies to take advantage of that. I had a job as a teenager that engaged in some really, really illegal practices but since I was 17, it was pre-internet, and nobody had ever told me what the child labor laws entailed, I just…

One week is not enough to judge the merits of any skincare routine, I’m afraid. You have to let your skin adjust to changes, especially when you’re going from what was apparently an involved routine to a very simple one - of course it’s going to freak out at first, that’s why you have to keep going for a few weeks to…

Charmin may be a good brand (with terrible advertising) but 1-ply? Not a chance.

Oh yeah, I once got a full-body patdown and bag search because I had a package of Fig Newtons in my carry-on. You never know what I might do with those....

Interesting....I’ll have to look through my bag and see what could be setting off alarms. I know they’ve freaked out over crochet hooks before...

I’ve never had a 4S but I’ve been pulled aside a disturbing number of times to have my hands swabbed for residue. I’ve never understood that one.

Avocados taste like compressed wet grass, nobody @ me.
