For flowers that wilt easily but dry beautifully, such as lilacs, hydrangeas and certain fragrant varieties of roses, I just skip the vase and hang them to dry in a closet. The best part is that the arrangements made from those flowers are lovely and last for a very long time.

Oh! Such TERRIBLE tenants! :D

I don’t mow my back yard as often as the front yard and mostly the grass seems to spawn elderly feral tomcats who know I’m a soft touch.

It’s just a silly promotion, not like they’re introducing segregated screenings for every movie. It sounds like a fun “Amazonian” night out.

Haven’t you ever done something that you’ve regretted with all your heart? (Whether intentionally or by accident.) That feeling doesn’t go away just because you’ve made some changes.

Trying to atone for her past now doesn’t mean that she would feel like less of a monster. Guilt is a complex emotion.

It still reads to me more like it wasn’t that she felt the inability to procreate made her a monster, but that her training was so thorough that it extended to removing everything that they could that would interfere with her being a remorseless killer. (Then again, I got the impression from the flashback that the

My sister was looking at possibly trading in her car and had allowed them people at the Toyota dealership to take her car back for an evaluation to see what kind of trade-in they would offer.

A couple of hours later, after some test drives, she didn’t like anything they had on the lot or what they were offering for

Alamo Drafthouse FTW - No texting or tomfoolery is permitted except in special tomfoolery-themed screenings.

I think you’re right.

Rotundity is no excuse for a poorly-fitted suit. Big dudes who could be massive and still stylish. Heck, look at Taft...he’s rumpled in the photo below, but the suit fits him.

That’s been my chant since the first teaser.

Drop him in the first musical number in Oz in “The Wizard of Oz”. The music, whimsy and technicolor should weaken him and then we can drop another farmhouse on the village square to finish the job.

He has a history of not paying his bills and not thinking things through. You have to plan ahead to buy a suit and have it properly fitted.
One, he’s not that patient.
Two, what skilled tailor in their right mind would want to put up with a client like that?

Lenny Henry does an amazing job in the audiobook! His voice is so expressive and his characters are distinctive.

Just FYI, many of the higher-end printing technologies use an expanded inkset that includes red, blue and green inks in addition to CMYK. These additional inks allow for the reproduction of a far larger gamut than the classic 4 inks.

On the MCU and the MTVU crossovers, I think you’re right that they could totally use TV characters in throwaway cameo bits.
i.e. You have a bunch of SHIELD Agents showing up to do this or that, just have some of the TV people doing agent-stuff in the background without, as you said, making them central to the action.

I have my tickets for my favorite seats in my favorite theater already!

Speaking as a female of the heterosexual persuasion, if I were an unattached female of that age, I would not be squicked in the slightest by the gap...I mean, it’s not like he reads as a grandpa or something.

When I see people who don’t know the difference between a fedora and a trilby...

That would be so awesome. You never see Leia really relaxed in any of the movies...it’s always crisis, crisis, crisis.

Yeah, but they can have folks in STEM be weird and maladjusted in ways other than as a stereotypical nerd.
