My point exactly. ;)

I recall that being mentioned on CBC Radio (Cross Country Checkup) - that Canadians almost always favour Democrats despite Canada's economy generally fairing better under Republican rule. (My Democrat preference remains!)

Maybe then people who need/want to alter their minds for a good time, but for whom alcohol is clearly not their drug (become violent and combative), will see weed as a viable alternative. I know I'd rather deal with a bunch of mellow high people than with belligerent drunks. (This is probably unlikely given they've…

Still, would way rather have to wade through a crowd that has been 'abusing' weed than one that's been 'abusing' alcohol. Have to tell them the party's over and it's time to go home? One of those two groups is way more likely to start throwing punches.

Canadian too and I noticed Campbells Soup labels for the last couple of years all declare ' 25% less sodium'. Sadly, I much preferred the saltier tomato soup and adding it back in just doesn't taste the same. It was always only an occasional indulgence so it probably wouldn't have hurt me to have it so salty, but…

The same is true for not-from-concentrate orange juice like Tropicana. They reconstitute it and add 'flavouring packets' that differ depending on the market. The populace of different countries prefer different taste profiles in their orange juice. More acidic, more sweet, etc.

I understand this particular grammar point is slowing dying out and 'less' is being used for all things. But yes, 'fewer' is for countable things (How many boobs? Two? countable!) and 'less' is for general/uncountable things. (How much water? Less water!)

I love(d) this movie! In grade two we had an assignment to each teach our class a song and I elected to do the theme song. It was such a bittersweet film. Watching something that seemed so emotionally honest was such a revelation as an eight year old. That said, I did find the enchanted sexual tree rather…

Augh, this has been my difficulty too. I'm so curious to watch the movie generally and intrigued by the idea and so forth, but even the trailer made me feel really.. uncomfortable during the neo seoul part. I'm afraid I'll just be squirming in my seat for a big chunk of my viewing time. Just because asian actors…

I always find it interesting to inspect how much 'futuristic' clothing depicted in a particular film or tv show actually reflects fashion trends of the day (which of course only makes sense; as much as we try to show things no one's ever seen and make it look other, we also want it to look 'cool' or appealing...). …

Indeed.

This was a bit my modus operandi as well. Once one of the popular girls turned around in her desk during Spanish class and enthusiastically asked me if I was going to the dance and whether I wanted to meet up at her place with a few other girls to get ready and do hair and makeup. I was immediately fearful and…

I hear you. Wah! The spoilers! I got up extra early this morning to start my download so I could watch it after work. I mean, sure I can still enjoy the fashion, but now I'll never know who I would have picked as the winner.

I lived in a town that had a weird number of doctors with profession appropriate last names. We had a surgeon named Dr. Cutler and another called Dr. Payne (which is almost more unfortunate than appropriate but also cool) and the hospital also had a Dr. Mann and a Dr. Human. My dentist was Dr. Smilie. A friend also…

Haha, I read stuck-ups too. (and then thought "yeah, I guess sometimes I'm a bit of a snob...")

I had an archaeology professor in undergrad who worked with obsidian a lot and flint knapping in general. Some time in the mid '80s he had to have hand surgery and persuaded his surgeon to use obsidian microblades: sharper and thinner than surgical steel. He told us they were really impressed with how quickly he…

Most of my dreams are just eerie and unsettling but not what I'd classify as nightmares (and rarely are they particularly happy either, though they're regularly quite interesting and plot driven!)

Augh, hate that one. In mine they turn grey near the gum line and then just slide right out with light tongue or finger pressure. Once the first one goes I start anxiously checking and testing them in turn and.. *shudders*

I've never felt the need to hide tampon or pad purchases at the grocery store. The only time I feel awkward is if all I'm buying is a box of tampons and a giant pile of chocolate due to the blatant cliche factor. "What? I just like chocolate... generally!"

Sounds like the use of tap water was the biggest issue here. But man, that is some interesting virus-ception!
