LOL! Your jewelry fits in a pill box! Okay, maybe some of my earrings would work in that. Generally I use little zipper bags instead.

Yeah, I had to give up cold cream... bad breakouts. I miss the smell!

Well, oddly enough, yes, my parents were both fairly dedicated smokers. I have never smoked, myself, but I did have 20 years of exposure until I moved out. Huh. But yes, I have a lot of trouble with head voice, I can't always "get there" and there's sort of a gap between what I can produce there and what I can produce…

that's what the car radio is for :)

*sigh* shades of high school over again. I'm female, but could never hit the top three notes of the alto range... well, I'll just be over here singing Warren Zevon karaoke, I guess.

yeah, typing "convert 65 GPB to USD" gives you a handy currency converter window.

Can we get you a little houseboat so we can easily visit you from Cat Island?

Sure, I could take public transportation to work... and have it take nearly four times as long... and then I wouldn't be able to get to my dance class after work... thanks, I'll pass.

It makes me uncomfortable. I have no Mexican heritage, but I feel like dressing up like a part of somebody else's belief system is a little sketchy. And the calaveras are, aren't they?

I almost got a vibe of "I thought vaginas were just there to please me, but it turns out they are part of human anatomy and must be cared for as such."

Well, it's policed by the department of Health and Human Services. They probably don't have much in the way of a SWAT team...

Soup, to me, is like a negative food. After consuming it I invariably feel both hungrier and thirstier than when I began. (With the bare exception of Baked Potato Soup, which psychologically fools me into thinking I have eaten a solid food.)

Look, I'm clutching my head here. This is a first-year sewing skill. If people don't know this, what other basic sewing skills are they missing? This is a goldmine for articles, I'm telling you.

PUPPY!!

We tried the Parmesan and Garlic chips and just about inhaled the bag. We fought over the crumbs. Now we've banned them except for special occasions... they are that good.

I really wish I COULD find a gateway vegetable. I mean, I'll eat a salad for lunch, and I'll roast potatoes and parsnips, but that's about it. I hate the smell that comes off of so many of them (all the cruciferous vegetables smell rotten to me) and I hate all the work in preparing them. We tried a CSA but had to give…

Shedding the Victim Mentality: Staying Safe on the Savannah

There are many ways he could have handled the information bomb that had just landed on him. He could have said, "Uh, well, what do you recommend?" or perhaps "you know, all yellow and fluffy" or even "I... think I'll go for the pancakes instead." It's easy to get mad and/or defensive when somebody shows you up as…

...whereas my cat looked up in horror when I turned on the audio for this clip.

This reminds me, bittersweetly, of my friend Martin Smith, who passed away a few years ago. He could not pronounce the word "squirrel" — it always sounded like "squibbles." He was from South London (which may or may not explain it). Squibbles! Pengwings!
