Tread carefully here - raw garlic in olive oil could be a botulism factory; it is anaerobic heaven for Clostridium botulinum and could give you a complete body 'facelift' leading to a good looking corpse.

OMG - did you just slam Jeze and make up this 3rd wave feminism so that you can slam all the women who don't see the world like you do so they are doing it wrong. You are doing it right and the women of Jezebel are doing it wrong and fucking up feminism - is that what you are saying? You have the answers that those…

I will turn 65 this year; I split from my partner of 25 years; I have been angsting about not being 40 any more; no longer being 'pretty' any more; gaining 100 pounds. Well, I have to grow up, stop whingeing and just get on with it - I guess, pretty soon now.

Been there - doing that now, sigh.

except for the destroying the universe bit - otherwise, yeah.

I used a program that included a microphone so that you could test your pronunciation - sorry, I am not at home at the moment so I can't tell you the name but I heartily recommend a program that does allow for correct pronunciation. When my ex and I went to Paris a couple years ago, she got all the accolades but at…

Same for me a couple years ago but I actually lost the phone hearing so I appealed and I lost the appeal so I appealed to the final arbiter and won - I wanted to call up that effing manager and say 'neener, neener,neener' but just smiled to myself and found a better job.

Then there is this masterwork of an omelet in a masterwork of food porn called Tampopo.

All the chorizo I find is made from chewy, rubbery pig parts like glands so you must be using something that is 'imitation' chorizo (or maybe I shop in really cheap/authentic shops). When I was about 30, I read a book called Reinhart's Women in which he (being Reinhart) woke up and made an omelet in the first…

If it is real ink, I sure hope it is the new, removable kind of tattoo.

Good news! My librarian says that she will buy the book and put me first on the list when it comes in. W00h00!

Yeow, I just went there - now bookmarked just in case. I think I mansplain everything to everyone cus I don't know who knows what. Is mansplaining different than Male Answer Syndrome? Is MAS okay if I end my explanation with I suffer from MAS?

Hah, Thomas Wolfe was so tall he hand wrote all his novels on the top of his refridgerator in long hand and tossed the pages into a box for his editor to cry over. I am trying to think which of his books I liked more but all that comes to mind is Look Homeword Angel and that becasue of the angel on the cover

Argh! I am only recently out of a 25 year relationship and that is the mess I am going to step into? Maybe I will just lurk here in Jeze-land (at least until I am upgraded from gray.)

Not in my library system - I will see about fixing that.

Thank you for the new word - I had heard 'bespoke' used before so I finally looked it up and can now add it to my vocabulary

This is both a local and a world-wide problem; any national emergency brings out the donations of stuff people no longer need.

That reminds me:

My take-away: "no rinse shampoo??" I wish she wasn't velcroed to her seat to 'local vertical' so we could get a real feel for space. She could be in any aspect to camera - though it might make some people 'space sick'
