'Beneath You'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
FMOE, drink as much water as you can before you get to the hospital. The instant you feel the first pain, start drinking cause if your hospital is anything like mine was, the instant you get there, no more liquid or food. Ice chips only.
We're allowed clear liquids, according to our birth class teacher. I'll have to check the list of stuff we can have/do.
the fact is that if it's too sweet for anyone, it will be too sweet for me.
This is me, too. I can't stand oversweet stuff, and it's everywhere -- even things that aren't supposed to be sweet at all. Bleh.
this is also me. I water down OJ, ferchrissake, and I find chatico really good. although it's almost too sweet by the end.
"this dorm was designed after the '60s to make it harder for students to occupy/protest."
This was said of the UW-Madison Fine Arts building. Also, that it was rotated 180 degrees from what it was supposed to be.
Might be true - it's a bizarre-looking building with sloped sides and tiny windows....
Lemme see if I can find a pic....
Q. What happens when you get the UUs really mad at you? A. They show up and burn a question mark on your lawn.
Okay, THAT is really funny!
Speaking of too sweet...and also water-esque beverages. I just found out they have discontinued my favorite sporty type drink. Delicious, refreshing Smart Water is now nasty ass sweetened Fruit Water. I'm unreasonably sad about this. I just called 1-877-GLACEAU to register my displeasure. The poor girl on the other end of the line was very nice at least.
I was at UConn from 93-96, and the library was the biggest campus joke around. It was under constant construction and covered in scaffolding the entire time I was there.
The building problems at URI when I was there were that most of the buildings put up in the seventies were designed with what were called "experimental" roofing materials. The experiment, apparently, was to see how cheaply they could roof a building, because they all leaked like sieves. Another of the experiments was to basically bury the biology building. It was built into the side of a shallow hill, and three sides of it were underground. That roof leaked, too, mostly because people were constantly walking across the roof. We also had a big chunk of carved marble facade fall off the library. They build things to last at URI.
At Seton Hall, the gym did have settling problems. The gym floor was unique. It was hardwood, but rather than the floorboards being laid end to end, as usual, the wood pieces were laid end grain up, as if you were walking on the end of a palatte of 2x4's. This one time we showed up for a class after the building had settled a bit, buckling the floor rather spectacularly. There was this 2 ft. tall ridge of wood blocks running from side to side at one end of the floor.

I am just never gonna believe anything ever again....

Much as I miss Smart Water (Lemon Cucumber was the best thing ever!), the new stuff isn't very sweet at all. (It's the stuff I just mentioned stocking up on for L&D.)
I wish they'd offer us both, personally.
only thing you can really believe....
I am the nicest one here.
