Is her brother a complete Asshole? Yes he is. That and he doesn't like me very much because I refused to date him a couple years back. I had no issues walking other than I was tired. I felt safe the whole time, whereas had I stayed in town there were some drunk creepazoidish sorts around. Could hav...

Happy New Year Jude! :) The party on the boat and the fireworks were awesome! The new year got started with quite the celebration. It was afterward that things went weird. After we got off the boat at 1:30 AM, my girlfriend and I drunkenly and stupidly decided to take a trek into the city to see wha...

I'll be going out on a boat on the river with some friends to watch the fireworks. I'm pretty much ready to go, just waiting for my friend to arrive to pick me up. As for resolutions, I seemed to have started early with quitting smoking and starting to exercise regularly. I got a better job that pay...

I don't use the anchovies in this every time I make it. When I do, I only use 1/4 or less just to add a little bit of flavour.

Did you hear that Pratchett said his daughter will take the Discworld over when he is gone?

Terry Pratchett confirms that his daughter will inherit Discworld from him

This could either way on the good.bad scale.

I could use a little bit of that myself. I have managed to hold my own over the holidays with my walking, running, dancing, and other exercise.

Anybody have any New Year plans? Any resolutions?

Yes, sadly the drone strikes are killing children as collateral damage in Pakistan and Yemen. A common enough occurrence that it was written into the TV show Homeland. Peace on Earth... yeah, right.

Hello to all! I'm glad to join this site.

Welcome dunthule! I hope you come back.

This was a great salad I had with a roast dinner. Tuscan Tomato Salad Ingredients (the better the quality, the better the salad) 1/2 a ciabatta loaf 1 teaspoon fennel seeds A few springs of rosemary or oregano 1 tablespoon of small capers 1/2 a 30g tin of anchovies in oil a small bunch of fresh basi...

I'm glad you feel welcome here! Feel free to bump old threads or start new ones - there's no one right answer, just whatever you feel is appropriate. The Bike Racks were created as a place where people could resolve disputes - we used to be a much busier place, and as you can imagine, sometimes per...

You all run quite a nice board and is deservedly billed as 'The Last Homely House in the Web'. Even though you all know each other going back years, you have been more than welcoming to this wayward web wanderer. I thank you all for that :) . I have browsed through the threads, and though some subje...

It was rather insightful and even a bit frightening to see this discussion from (I assume) mostly Americans in this topic. Some of the stuff I have seen online (not on this site) about arming every person in a school to "defend themselves" is simply scary. I can't understand the whole &quo...

I didn't notice the spoiler tag before... I thought the White Council was a good part of the movie in appearance. Galadriel looked much better than in Fellowship of the Ring, and Elrond was more approachable. But Sarumann looked like he didnt want to be involved in the movie, and his cheesy, predict...

I saw it tonight at an advance screening and I came out of it feeling pretty 'meh'. Doubt I'll see it again until maybe when it comes to TV.

I have to say I cried when I first heard about the killings at Sandy Hook Elementary School. My heart goes out to all those kids, families, of the slain kids, teachers, and everyone who survived the shooting but will have to live with the scars of that day.Even now I tear up thinking about it. I can...

Ah yes. Can't remember if we had this one before.

Gurthang??? (a bit off with Tolkien trivia... but Turin is one of may favourite tragic characters)

Enjoying this band at the moment...

It's 16 days until the shortest day of the year, and I was out taking care of animals in shorts yesterday after work, after dark. :nono: It's weird to be so warm this time of year. And here, with the exception of a few really warm days, has been rather cool for December. Been dry, except I got caug...
