He's so, sooo hot. Like, will do dirty things to you in broad daylight hot. Yep. Hot.

Seriously. Are the Scorpions still around? That would be perfect, since they have history there already. Or Rammstein, since they were from East Berlin and actually remember crossing that day.

I learned through a lifetime of trial and error (and being a teen in the 80s/"alternative" in the 90s). I think I have it pretty well down now.

You're welcome! I'm always super paranoid about it, and usually check the settings about 12 times before I actually leave. Have fun on your cruise!

I always have data roaming on my phone turned off, even when I'm home, because then I don't forget when I actually do leave my area.

That's almost worse than the email I received (while he was at work) that read "I've been thinking about it [getting married]. It may be a good idea."

I do that EVERY TIME. I figure ourworld is much more fun than the real one.

I could climb UP anything, but climbing back down was another story entirely...I spent an hour on the top level of one of those trying to work up the nerve to go back to the ground. I'd also forgotten all about it until that picture came up. ~35 years later and apparently I'm still traumatized.

YES. I loathe books written in present tense. There are maybe two I've managed to muddle my way through, but I can't get past my irritation with the writing to enjoy the story. It comes across as trying too hard. I couldn't get past two chapters of the Hunger Games books, so to pick up on the story, I followed along…

Coty used to make the most perfect liquid-to-powder foundation (the airspun liquid) and it was AMAZING. My skin looked flawless, the colors were good, and they never got back to me when I called them to find out if they had any last bottles somewhere in a back room (this was pre-widespread internet). I think they…

I don't know about auburn, but a bunch of non-US countries still have Max Factor. My sister has requested mascara delivery for the last few years (we trade, since I can't get Full n Soft here). Make friends with someone and send them off to their local drugstore for a mascara exchange!

(I just checked. It's in black,…

We had the fried shrimp in NL for a long time, but the onion rings are new to me (though I just checked the website, and they're on the menu. But the shrimp is gone. Tradeoff.)

I kind of feel like I already have. Like, he has that semi-skeevy look I was into back in my bar-dating days in the mid-90s.

Thanks for the link! This one's definitely getting saved. We have a ridiculous variety of peppers going, all over the heat scale - we get seeds from fatatii and usually include at least one mixed pack alongside our regular favorites.

We start ours indoors and move them outside when the weather gets warm enough. We're nowhere near harvest yet, but they're a couple of feet tall already.

I would wear the hell out of all of them for absolutely any reason whatsoever. Grocery shopping? That last one is perfect.

I'm Sarah C (hence the name) and I'm an army brat who spent half my US life in coastal VA, so I usually say that's where I'm from. I met my now-husband while posting for years on the Moby forums and moved out to The Netherlands in 2005 where I'm working as a production editor for a non-profit educational institution…

I'm a little late to the party, but thought I'd share. Right before I turned 30, my first husband and I split embarrassingly close to the wedding (like, I can never mock a Kardashian because of it close) and I was humiliated and miserable and withdrew as far into my shell as possible.

I've taken the circuitous route from Poquoson to The Hague, with most Hampton Roads (and VCU) stops in between. Yay, VA people!

Since the book series is over (and should have ended several books back), I combine the book and tv characters so it all works out the way I want it to. I've been pretending that TV Tara doesn't really exist but is instead a similarly-named person, and headspace Bill isn't quite as irritating. (Also, my Eric is a bit…
