Thrive to spite them

Anytime I do an online iq test I end up scoring way around 70 something. The flaw is totally with the tests.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm bringing the cheesy potato bomb to Thanksgiving. I've already got my stick of butter.

My family always assigns me wine, because they know I can't -- nay, WON'T, since I have to drink it as well -- fuck that up.

And then you have to dip a blanket in ebola and give it to a neighbor and then steal his land while bleeds from his eyeballs.

It's tradition!

Being of Irish ancestry I prefer to let Fire Water be my weapon, and sweep in to build railroads while everyone is incapacitated by hangovers or the DTs.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I can not get a definative answer on brined Turkey = salty gravy. But it looks like no, but adding salt to the gravy is only once it is close to being finished. I wonder if the yesit is salty use chicken stock for their gravy. We always use whit zin for turkey gravy. Not drinkable by any of our standards , but what a match with turkey drippings for gravy.

mmm... gravy. Until DH joined the family, we didn't do gravy. and my mom is from the south. But we love DH's gravy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm pretty sure my brined turkey gravy has not been significantly saltier than my non-brined. But it's been a while since I've made either.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Sophia, what's wrong with explaining to your boss in excruciating detail just how hard/impossible it is to do exactly what they're asking in the time they're foreseeing? Proper feedback to managers helps them manage better.

I have tried, but I don't know enough about the tools I am working with to explain in an understandable manner. She's sort of like-- "Well, just right click and save the pictures, and put them in your document. "

I had a high school classmate who'd make cheat sheets by writing in tiny print on unlined white paper, then taping it around a cheap white-barreled pen.

Had a classmate who kept cheat sheets in his zipper. Spent lots of exam time "adjusting" himself.

Did any of his teacher notice the excessive adjustment? I would be weirded out!

I am leaving work soon, to be internetless until Monday-- so I hope everyone has a great holiday!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The BBC will be filming new versions of all 37 of Shakespeare's plays (again). I'm not sure what the point is.
