I hope they’ve been careful to keep it from contamination. Imagine being able to get viable cultures from 300+ year old cheese. Is there a modern version or can you recreate an extinct cheese?

Barely relevant, I know, but does anyone know where I can get my hands on a copy of the movie “Great Catherine” with Peter O’Toole? I saw it years back, haven’t been able to find it on DVD.

I do a lot of graphic design work and I’ll admit that when I find stuff that I like, I’ll do my own riff on the concept or technique. (e.g.I like a color combination so I’ll apply it to one of my original designs. Or I see someone a quote laid out in an interesting way, I might use a similar layout with different…

At least it’s not that honeycomb stretch fabric that superheroes seem to just love for the past decade or so...

As they said back in Grandma’s day, “Pretty IS as pretty DOES.”

I know, right? She’s cute, a disciplined and dedicated worker at her craft, seems to be a savvy businesswoman and is kind of goofy. He’s cute, a dedicated practitioner of his craft and kind of goofy.

THIS is how a live action Airbender movie SHOULD have looked.

I bet Yzma was pretty hot back when she was of childbearing age.

I’m having issues with this term just because I keep reading it as “La Tinks”, and start looking for the Disney logo.

Just like some folks seem to believe that asexuality isn’t a thing.

See, I figured that, too. If his predisposition is no-particular-preference bi, then it would be totally reasonable that some difference in the timeline could easily have an effect on who he ends up with.

I’d like to see the robot’s-eye view of what happened.

Tapering down is a great way to go. Even if you never kick the meat habit entirely, you can probably find some ethically raised meats and dairy in your region. Then you have the comfort of knowing that the critters in question had a decent life and your money is going back into your local community. :)

I love our CSA because they have done a really good job with their crop diversity year round. Things are heavier on the brassica side in the winter (cabbages, kale, cauliflower and such), but we’re lucky enough to be in Central Texas, which has an extended growing season.

The only appropriate response to the dress comment is snark.

Look down in shock and exclaim, “Gaaaaaahhhh! Where did THIS come from??!!?!!”

Or. “Oh, is THAT what this is? I had a heck of a time figuring it out, I can tell you!”

When I was pregnant I felt tremendous pressure to constantly express how I was oh so ecstatic to be fulfilling my feminine destiny. :P To be honest, I didn’t really feel much of a real connection with the kid until they started talking. Before that, I loved my baby in a sort of matter-of-fact way, but I faked a whole…

...and the State Park Rangers! *thump*

Judge: I sentence you to 10 years and a boot to the head from Ms. Soskin *thump* and from everyone who works with her at the parks department *thump* *thump* *thump*...

It’s gotta be better than being Mr. Lady Mary.

Fellas who make a fuss about having the words “man” or “men” in job titles and the like replaced with gender neutral language seem to be the sort who need to reassure themselves that they are indeed manly men who can man up.
