I second the "fake the make it" approach. For example, if I have to give a speech, as I'm walking up I'll tell myself, "straighten your back, walk with purpose, no one knows how nervous you are." The point is, only I know what I'm feeling. Other people only know what I show. For me, this works for sending emails,…

@ the_charming_one I'm replaying Ready to Die because of this thread. Oddly enough, I don't like it nearly as much as I used to. Now I find it way too violent. I think I blocked out how violent most popular 90's rap was. It's interesting to see the shifts in the genre and the evolution of the artists who've managed to…

Tupac - Dear Mama

That's an adorable picture. He looks confused and angry. More confused than angry though. If he could talk he'd say "what's going on and what is this thing on my head?! I demand answers!"

It means that your body needs food even though you don't have an appetite. If you haven't eaten in a few hours, try and have a small meal or snack and drink a glass of water.

Thanks for sharing! I'm making these tomorrow, they sound delicious.

That's...interesting. I've never seen those before. And now I don't think I'll ever be able to unsee it. The joys of motherhood, right?!

I'm convinced that much activity is bad for your health. Maybe spike their morning coffee with sleeping pills ;-)?

Why can't you take the subway/bus to the other boroughs? google maps and hopstop are great for mapping out public transportation routes. They give you bus, walking and train directions. Traveling between the outer boroughs can be a pain but it's not that bad. Just bring a book and you'll be fine. Depending on the time…

Do you literally mean mesh panties, like the sexy ones? Or is it a special post-delivery thing like nursing bras? And why do you need special panties for after delivery? I'm so curious!

If you're shy just order on online. Try babeland.com or adameve.com. That way you don't have to interact with a person and your toy will be discreetly shipped. Go forth and masturbate!

She could be really busy with wedding planning and because you've been out of touch, she doesn't consider getting back to you a priority. In that case you'll hear from her when wedding plans have calmed down a bit, probably after the wedding. Or she feels she's outgrown your friendship and is avoiding you because…

On the plus side, if everyone was drinking odds are you aren't the only one who acted like an ass. Walk in on Monday like a champ. Unless you damaged property or said something really horrific (in which case offer to pay and apologize) I say pretend like nothing's wrong.

Hello to you too ;-). Hope you're enjoying your Saturday evening.

Maybe you should talk to her? Ask if there's something going on. If after talking to her you find out she's dealing with some issues that are stressing her out then decide if you want to deal with that. I don't think you're a jerk for deciding you want a light-hearted relationship with someone who has time to hang out…

I've already bought 3 pairs. We found out about these underpants at the convention in Vegas last month.

Aww shucks, you sure do have a way with words :-). And you will not regret taking the year off to travel, trust me. Law school sucks giant monkey balls, you'll need that year of fun traveling experiences to help you through that terrible first year.

I use this allrecipes.com recipe and it always comes out pretty good for me. I've substituted oatmeal for bread crumbs and subbed in other veggies with no issues. The downside is the burgers tend to fall apart unless I pop them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before hand.

I second the "How to Cook Everything Vegetarian" Bittman book. It's more like an encyclopedia than a cookbook. It's over 1000 pages and it makes a great reference book. He discusses a wide variety of cooking techniques for a ton of vegetables, how to make a bunch of sauces from various world cuisines and for most…

I was listening to a Radiolab podcast and they mentioned a woman who had been smoking for 50 years or some other really long time span. She finally quit by swearing to donate $5000 to the KKK if she ever smoked again. She said every time she thought about picking up a cigarette, she thought about donating money to…
