I do. I like reading your replies. Even if I don't say anything. You always seem to say something clever, or insightful.

I "won" (earned) the opportunity to give a lecture at the University of Quito. So I'm travelling to Ecuador :) That is awesome. I hope you get some sightseeing in. I've been sick since New Year's Day, and seem to finally be over it! How's that? You're healthy now. How is that not a win? C...

Has there been no wins since New Year's? There must be something to celebrate. No matter how small.

In that case, I hope you enjoyed the snacks.

I know I haven't received mine yet.


Though the one I sent was received. I just hope it was enjoyed.

Her skill with a bow staff was shown early in the film (when Finn first sees her), why is it so hard to think she would have some level of skill with a sword/lightsaber? Had Kylo not been injured or so angry (he was shown to display anger like a 7 year old) he would have been the better figh...

One it's new years. So 6 years ago I met my now husband. Also, it is my older sister's birthday. On top of that, she is currently in labour. YAY!

Edit: Baby is born. I have a new niece! She is exactly 28 years younger than her mother. Both are doing good. my sister is tired though.

Such a lovely spring day this Christmas Eve! (Seriously, 12-15 degrees. I have never experienced a winter this warm). Merry Christmas!

Hello! Does anyone know how to make hummus? I love it! But here in Argentina it's kind of hard to get so I was thinking maybe I can try making it if that's even possible? Is it simple enough? Also, is it... er.... fattening? If anyone knows the answer to all or any of those questions I'll be really...

That bit hurt my brain

wonderful idea! However I am near-sighted, and double-glasses just doesn't work. This is actually my biggest problem with 3D

I also noticed how the bad guys lightsaber was arcing like crazy during the dramatic battle. I wonder why.





On my phone, too annoying to use the collapse/spoiler text.

I saw the movie today. My wonderful Ex took me to see it (along with his dad, his brother, and our son). Honestly, I loved the movie. I'm not a super nerd/picky fan, so I can happily watch the movies and not complain. Except I had to watch the movie in 3D. 3D made it terrible. But it is such a wonde...

Alton Brown has some really good soup recipes you should check out. Also he just has amazing recipes in general you should look at. I know he has a vegetarian soup featuring kale and white beans. It does all for a parmesan rind, but that is easily cut out making it vegan friendly. I can't for the li...

It is now in the somewhat capable hands of Canada Post. Hopefully it arrives in time.

I made what I like to call Tequila cookies! https://scontent-yyz1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/12369238_10156495521075354_2003349568623785407_n.jpg?oh=4b4d16bf1827dacef26214a7ed0909f0&oe=5711614E Little snowmen, and little men in outfits the same colour as my work uniform. https://sconte...

I just gotta finish wrapping mine and then send it. Maybe grab a card too. Luckily I work close to a major shopping centre in the city.

Try tossing the raisins in the flour before adding them to the mix. Tends to help them stay mixed in nicely.

Don't get mad at me when I do wear gloves, when you're just going to bitch at me for Not wearing gloves. Make up your dammed mind.

Payday on friday, which means present shopping and mailing! Yay!

Yeah it's about the wedding catering fiasco. I had to double check our contracts, but they both state No Nuts, and they definitely put nuts in a dish without putting up signage or providing any warning (a guest discovered the nuts and warned those allergic to it). However a family member still had t...

I'm suing someone. This is something I really hoped to go through life not having to do.

Yes I could walk away, but this is something that has been eating at me for a month now, and if they get away with it this time, someone might actually die next time.

Also I have to find a lawyer now.

I'm on board. I have to get fit. Not really in shape as I have one, but some sort of fitness level above None. It would probably give me more balanced energy-wise.

Hooray!!

BUMP!

Come and join! It is fun!
