I mean, that’s why it’s an optional rule (or at least, it sounds like an optional rule, I might be wrong). It’s not for every group, or every game, but sometimes it’s fun to watch characters get blown to smithereens, and if you go into it expecting it (and with a tidy folder of backup characters), it can be a fun…

It’s about the price I’d expect. They’re big hardcover tomes with loads of illustrations, like the rulebooks.

I lived in an apartment for 2 years with a garden tub. Omg. It was huge. I miss it.

A ziplock snack bag is the perfect size for bathtub phone games.

I was sure I’d read at some point that if you’re nauseous/vomiting, to stick with drinks with some sugar in them instead of plain water, because it’s easier to keep down. I didn’t realize fructose was used as an antiemetic, but that matches up nicely.

I never thought to keep it in the freezer! When I’m sick, it’s a crapshoot whether I have a non-shriveled chunk of ginger root in the crisper. I’m buying extra this weekend to freeze. Thanks for the tip!!

I love the higher quality instant ramens I can get at my local international foods store; almost all of them will have stronger flavor packets, sometimes an oil packet in addition to a soup base, or even dried veggies. Nissin is my favorite, has loads of great flavors: XO sauce, curry, black garlic oil, miso tonkotsu,…

Ick on the T-Mobile thing :C

Lol, I take it the humidity is nothing compared to what you’re used to?

I’d love to wipe out my whatever-lawn and plant something that stays shorter. I pay a neighborhood high schooler to mow my lawn every two weeks. It gets shaggy, but it’s fine. There are patches that get pretty tall, and patches that are some other species that stays much shorter. I’d rather have a whole lawn that…

Are you talking about lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana) ? Its care is pretty different from cut flowers. If it’s droopy or mushy, it might be root rot from over-fertilizing or gross water. You don’t want to trim its end like a cut plant, but if the roots are rotten, you can cut it off the healthy part and re-root it.

I don’t know about deals, but these Monoprice buds are always $5 and sound pretty dang great for that price.

These are knock-offs, just FYI. The originals are made by Antsy Labs.

Always do your travel shopping in an incognito window. A lot of travel sites use cookies, and charge you more if you come back later.

And if you’re heavier than Beth, the minor fluctuations throughout the day can be even larger (since you have more water to fluctuate), and make the scale seem completely pointless. I’d have to keep a spreadsheet calculating a moving average to get any idea of my day-to-day progress. It’s actually pretty discouraging…

I dunno about the originals, but I picked up a pair of the SoundBud Slims a few days ago when they were on sale, and man, I love ‘em. They’re comfy, they stay put, they sound as good as the Sony buds I was using before.

Ooh, $5 cotton bike shorts! Thanks for the rec, I might have to order a couple of pairs. It’s getting too hot for leggings under my dresses, but I can’t do bare legs.

But Guillermo del Toro’s visual craziness and Ron Perlman’s overall perfection are what made the Hellboy movies great. :(

I don’t like actually swimming in them much, too much drag. But for a day being damp and walking around a lot? Perfect.

Oh heck, I’ve been wondering about a cheap solution for thigh rub. I’ve heard good things about Undersummers but they’re like $30 a pop. I might have to start looking for long boxer briefs.
