Ookla the Absent Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 What?! That's dumb. Thanksgiving is 1 week off and Xmas and NY is 2 and Easter is 1. Serious? I only ever got Thursday and Friday...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Just applied for a job in Huntsville, Alabama. I've decided to give myself a small reward—probably something tasty from the Whole Foods bakery—whenever I apply for a certain number of jobs. Trying to decide between ten and twenty. And I'm currently on the Shard, with Bruce curled up next to me and purring away. 5
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 What? Sorry its been a while since I heard Squanto. 4th Grade was awesome
skaa he/him Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) The first time I saw fog (a rare occurrence in tropical countries like the Philippines) was when I was eight years old during our family's first trip to the mountain city of Baguio. That childhood memory of being inside a thick mysterious mist came back to me when I read Mistborn more than five years ago, and is part of what made me a Sanderson fan. I've been to Baguio and Tagaytay (another mountain city in the Philippines) a few times since then, but never again did I experience that (to my airsick lowlander mind) alien beauty. Until now. My little sister decided to celebrate her birthday over the weekend in one of the highest parts of Tagaytay, and while there wasn't anything special when we arrived here last night, I was greeted by this sight the first thing in the morning. My first thought was "Mist!" My second thought was, "Oh, no! It's 10AM already, so this must be the Deepness!" And soon enough, after a delicious brunch, I saw the dreaded dark mists of Ruin. I'd never been happier to see the power of destruction manifest itself in gaseous form. Then as we drove back to our hotel room, a thick fog greatly reduced the visibility on the road. It was a bit worrisome, but I decided to tough it out. After all, as the Lord of the Mists said, the Mists hide us, protect us, and give us power. Edited November 30, 2015 by Ookla the Insipid 4
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 I applied for four jobs today, although one still needs me to complete and mail in a few forms. Still, I'm feeling very accomplished right now. 6

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 You betcha! Only one of them was in the Northwest, but I'll be able to tell my mom I applied for her Boise job. (I'm not going to mention the others, which happened to be in Illinois, Texas, and Louisiana. )
Briar King Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Louisiana summers will feel like fiery hell to someone from up North. That said Louisiana is beautiful no matter what season it is.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Louisiana summers will feel like fiery hell to someone from up North. That said Louisiana is beautiful no matter what season it is. I'd be moving there from Arizona, and while I've never experienced a Louisiana summer, I can say that Arizona summers are pretty bad. (If one more person says "At least it's a dry heat" when the thermometer reads 117, I am going to go full Epic. ) That said, I've heard the humidity makes it all the worse.
Briar King Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 I'd take 117 dry heat vs 104 wet heat any day! That humidity is aweful come July and August especially down here near 35-40 miles from Gulf. I love my state though! It's been the top voted happiest state for many yrs on national polls. Visually it's bright green and covered in flowers from April to November and then the most brilliant yellow gold from December to March. The cost of living is on the low side so you can have lots of luxuries to be in comfort. Just hope you don't have to get out of the way of a hurricane. That's a nightmare.

That humidity is aweful come July and August especially down here near 35-40 miles from Gulf. A query. Did you mean 'aweful' (as in 'full of awe') or 'awful' (as in 'disgusting')? 'Cause both could work... Edited November 29, 2015 by Haelbarde
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Tried my hand at grilling steak today. I need more practice before I can get the perfect medium rare I love, but I did find that tossing s steak in olive oil, cayenne pepper, thyme, salt, and fresh minced garlic makes it quite tasty. 5

Greetings fellow humans. Today I ventured in applying heat to cut bovine flesh on a grated metal surface. While more experimentation is required in order to achieve the ideal ratio between preparedness and rawness that is desired, success was achieved in the usage of pressed oils from small fruit, ground plant matter, sodium chloride, and minced bulbs from a fragrant weed. Sorry. I've been having fun re-imagining everything I read as if it were written by an alien trying and failing to blend in with the human race. Glad you had a great lunch!

Now you youngsters will be able to enjoy them. JNCOs? Seriously? I was a kid when they were popular, but I remember wondering how anybody walked in them.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) Yes!! Look at the edit link! Sexy lol!!! Huh. Aren't they a lot less baggy than the 90s originals? And how do you reach anything in those giant pockets? Edited December 3, 2015 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles
Briar King Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Have to hike your legs. Also this is when chained wallets became a thing. You can see why. I remember doing that constantly during their 10 yr reign. That's an average pair they did have really big ones though. My biggest was 36 in leg bottoms my waist is still slimmer then that at 31-32 in my mid 30's.

Well, one of the related links was to a story about a woman whose skinny jeans apparently caused muscle damage. All I'm saying is that there's probably a good reason why these things were requested so often.
Briar King Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 They are extremely comfortable to wear. Especially for males. They aren't confining like most jeans if you take my meaning.

They aren't confining like most jeans if you take my meaning. I definitely prefer the looser fit, too. Skinny jeans are so hard to find just the right fit--either they're too loose so you might as well not be wearing skinny jeans, or they're so tight you end up with muscle damage. I miss flares from the early 2000s. Though, surprisingly enough, I actually found the average JNCOs pictured kind of appealing.
Kobold King he/him Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 * is wearing his pajama bottoms * 3

Zathoth Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Skinny jeans are supposedly impossible to pick pocket though, so thats one point for them.
