I have a Ninja and I love it! Here's my post-workout morning smoothie:

And even Veselka isn't what it was in the 80s and 90s. 4 a.m. kasha vernishka! I annoy my 20-somthing nieces with tales of the East Village and LES from "back in my day," while adjusting the onion on my belt.
Well fundamentalist Christians should be all right with it—it's the very definition of traditional biblical marriage.
I read it before the Taliban or the Christian fundamentalist (overt) war on women and was terrified. Almost every day I'm reminded of that book.
It's kind of nice too, when I do hug my friends and they tell everyone "TheWireMonkey even *hugged* me!" because they know it actually means something, not just social protocol.
Well, it is kind of forced on adults too—the hug has replaced the handshake in almost every context but business. I hate it.
My good friends know that a hug has to be earned—not just for saying hello or goodbye. If I'm with new acquaintences I just tell them, "yeah, I'm not really a hugger." I hate that hugging has replaced handshakes in the past couple of decades.
One Christmas when I was home from college I was messing around with my cousins and I don't remember the exact context, but I said to the youngest one (maybe 11 or 12 at the time) that if he didn't relent to something (shit, I really can't remember what it was, giving me the remote to the tv or something completely…
Would the question be asked of anybody else who's had corrective surgery for a birth anomaly? If not, or if the answer is really fucking obvious (um, yeah, recovering from reconstructive surgery probably hurts. Next question) then it isn't appropriate here either.
OT, but this reminded me of what I like to say when meeting with a new doctor and the question "Are you sexually active?" comes up.
Simpsons did it.
Good point—I'm in the same place (vegetarian, conservationist, pro-cull), but I wonder how much environmental damage is done when uneducated civilians go tromping through the everglades in search of snakes.
"Drones" has become synonymous with unmanned military devices, but in fact they can be incredibly useful and benign (and cost-effective) in agriculture, forestry and wildlife management. Check out ConservationDrones.com
I'm just short of PETA on the animal rights scale and I agree with you. My brother owned a ball python and it was a lovely pet at the time, but these snakes are destroying the fragile ecosystem of the everglades, including several endangered native species. First blame goes to irresponsible owners letting them…
True fact: -40 is where metric and Imperial temperatures meet up.
Zoom O'clock in my apartment. And yes, there is an a.m. and a p.m. (which is really just a very early a.m., usually around 3:30 in the morning).
My black cat, Hedy Lamarr, LOVES traveling upside down! Her nickname, in fact, is Upside Down Kitty. She will do a thing, then try to figure out if there is a way to do that thing while on her back, including making her way from one side of the room to another.
Nope, technically, resin is a sticky substance produced by trees and some other plants. There is commercially available "epoxy resin" but that's not a true resin
I had a pair of the original-style crocs a year or two after they came out. They are great shoes for walking the dog, grocery shopping, doing laundry in the basement, commuting, etc. I have one of the newer, less bulky, ballet-flat styles that I commute in in the summer—they keep my feet cool and I like the squishy…
