Pseudopods.
That's what I thought. But Wikipedia said no. I must have been looking at a different specific meaning.
I'm impressed that I remembered that term.
The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, I got pseudopods off the top of my head--and boy, is my hair sticky!
Sorry.
No, I'm not.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I would have called it a foot. Psudopods are something one-celled creatures use, I thought.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, Erin -- I take it things are sorted out by now?
Sometimes I am smarter than I know -- I came home to have soup for dinner, but was thinking it was too bad that now it's all spring and shit, so I didn't really feel like eating hot soup, but there was just one mugful left! Perfect. I froze the rest after I made it.

I was happily chomping away on stir-fried snow peas, and I bit the inside of my lip. In the same place I'd bitten it three times in the last 24 hours. This time it bled.
Copiously.
I am gingerly attempting to finish my dinner now.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Both groups are pretty similar -as in food has the power in the relationship.
beth, good point, I'm gonna hafta think on that a while.
Did you get a kinky thrill when the cuffs went on
Is it okay if I did? A little? Just for a second?
I have tried various vegetables, but the ones I can stand to eat are either an excuse for cheese sauce or high in carbs. Otherwise, they're far too bitter/acidic or of a texture that makes me want to gag.
connie and I are as one in this matter. Also in the having of weirdly sensitive taste receptors. It's taken me years to be convinced other people weren't lying about liking vegetables just to sucker me into eating them.
Aren't snails gastropods? -oh. Yes. Snail anatomy - hey, they have genitals on the backs of their necks! goes to a strange porny place I'm back. What happened?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Zenkitty, that's called being a supertaster. In fact, it's almost the textbook definition.
Pretty much I've resigned myself to eating other things that are good for me and skimping on the icky greens. For some reason, Chinese vegetables seem less bitter, on the whole, though you do encounter some deliberately bitter dishes, but once again, you can eat around those.

You know, I seem to recall that the term pseudopod is sometimes used to describe the foot of the snail, but that's not technically correct. Or maybe that's just some post hoc memory of mine....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Today is almost over, and I haven't even had to resort to Jack Daniels yet. YAY
