I love The Nesting Game! I'm still in awe of her tree stump side table.

The original tweets were:

I keep a twitter tab open and just load new tweets as they show up so I have all her responses if you're interested. Here are the screen grabs: [imgur.com]

I normally use straight mineral oil on my wooden cutting boards, spoons, spatulas, etc so this isn't a big change for me. I can already tell that the butter isn't soaking in as well as the oil alone does. I think next time I'll do a coat of straight oil, let everything cure for a few hours, then do a coat of the…

This is cooling on my counter right now. I used a wooden spoon to stir everything together since I planned on covering it with the stuff anyway and it already looks great. I can't wait to use this on everything else!

It always sucks when libidos don't match. My husband tries hard to make sure I don't feel guilty for saying no when that happens to us, and I do the same for him, but god, it's so uncomfortable to feel like I OWE my husband sex. I hope you came up with a good compromise.

That was amazing.

I'm so sorry. I've had inexplicable falling outs with friends and it's fucking terrible. I was going through a bout of depression and suddenly no one cared how much time I'd spent listening to their problems and trying to help them, they didn't want to deal with me or my problems. I didn't even talk to people when I…

Lots of contouring (cheeks/nose/eyes/forehead/chin), false eyelashes, dark eye liner and shadow, fill in the eyebrows a bit with pencil, and some lipstick. I personally prefer to wear much less makeup than that—I don't want to look like two different people! I usually just add some blush, eye liner, mascara, and a…

To sum up: UGH. Seriously, what is it with these people? Why is this always accepted and encouraged? I can't stand it. I hope you find a good community of geeks who realize women are also human beings worthy of respect. Fortunately my husband is one of them and I think that's the only reason I can stand geeky crap…

Mine has gone off at 5PM every day for four years. I proudly proclaim, "No babies!" as I pop it in my mouth. Hurray for birth control!

What happened? I've been pulling away from geeks lately because the vocal majority is so anti-women it's insane. I'm sorry your favorite community is part of the problem. It's disheartening when you find that out about people you used to like and enjoy.

Get the antidepressants and tell yourself they're going to work. The placebo effect is very powerful and you will start feeling better before they truly kick in. Mine all had an effect within a week. After that side effects kicked in and I kept switching around until I found the right one for me, but seriously, the…

My bank asked who else has used the same address as me at the same time in the past, ie a roommate. That makes sense to me. Maybe that's what they meant? Otherwise yeah, that's pretty fucking scary.

Thanks for that link. It's an amazing article. I'm kind of in shock.

What's your source for that? I don't agree at all. The hiring process for anyone who works in the public school system, at least in Washington and Oregon where I have experience, includes criminal background checks. Any history of child abuse immediately disqualifies you, end of story. Even volunteers are required to…

The amount of eyeliner, hair gel, and bad highlights is spectacular. I can't even.

She is amazing.

Everyone needs to watch this video about what French preschoolers eat for lunch at public schools. It's depressing that some countries get child nutrition so right when others get it so horribly wrong. The US needs to step the fuck up: we are a rich country with a (relatively) stable political system, we have no right…
