'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
This place looks right-ish, but do I really care enough to spend $6 on shipping to risk it? Unclear.
I've ordered discontinued stuff from there (eyeliner, which I quickly rejected once I discovered Urban Decay's 24/7 liner, but that has nothing to do with the vendor of the discontinued stuff), and they were pretty quick and easy to deal with, FWIW.
Congrats, Tamara! It must be productive screwing around.
whoa, I so read that the wrong way.
My take on trepanation is that I'd like to see it recommended by someone who hasn't done a ton of acid. Because dude, I went to Berkeley and I've met people who've done a ton of acid--hell, I lived with some--and it can leave its traces.
French translation request!
"My horse! Hold your fire--he has my horse!"
And I also have some questions for those familiar with horses...
The stolen horse in the above exclamation is an experienced and well-trained officer's mount, so he's accustomed to the sounds of battle. My scene opens with the horse being led around a stable yard by his groom, waiting for his owner to come out for his morning ride. A group of soldiers lurking in the woods nearby open fire, killing or disabling the groom and two other men nearby, but not hitting the horse. How would the horse react? Bolt? Scuttle back to the barn? Neither?
The character who takes him has turned horse thief because he feels guilty over the fact his friend/commanding officer's horse died while he was riding him on a scouting expedition, and he intends the new horse as a present for the friend/CO. How could the first horse have died, preferably in a way that's not my character's fault but that he could feel guilty about anyway? I thought of stepping in a rabbit hole, but that seems too cliche. They're in moderately rough/hilly country, FWIW, and the horsie that has to die is a fine Irish-bred hunter.
Does anybody else wanna take all the different hot-chocolate-creating methods, try each and every one of them, then taste them all and compare and contrast and rank them and then taste some more?
The only time I’ve watched KQED’s (public tv) show America’s Test Kitchen, they did this, comparing all-in-one packaged hot choc with hot milk + choc power. Swiss Miss won, followed by Ghiradelli in the panel vote, although the host disliked both because both were too sweet for his taste, and he liked Scharfenburger instead. The website is terrible, unfortunately. [link]
Jesse, have you checked out the Vermont Country Store?[link]
I am amused that after clicking on pettipants (were very popular in 5th grade and I’ve not seen them around much since), the website site offered, “Perhaps you would also like -- silverfish-away packets.” Er, huh??
I kept cracking up because he kept apologizing for being so bullish/blunt in my presence. I was like, have you met me? Where do these people get that I'm some sort of easily offended fragile flower?
Oh look, sarameg is me!
About the nice = easily offended. Boy, do I have a lot to say about it, but since I don't have the time, it all sums up to this: I'm usually nice to other people because that's the quickest way to understand what they want from me and get rid of them.
Now, if I could only understand why am I the one everyone asks about buses at bus stops, even when the bus stop has 20 other people in it without headphones and music on...
whoa, I so read that the wrong way.
Not yet sleeping to the top. Not ruling it out, however.
Sleeping your way to the top? It's the possibility of trial and error that would worry me the most. It's the sort of thing you want to do right the first time.
My Trashy Diva dress didn't fit. The stretch on the XS isn't what I'd hoped. If anyone wants to buy it off me (no returns), it's the lovely polka dotted voile.
Sure looks purty.
Actually Tamara I thought you were pregnant. whoops.
Oh no ita, yours too? I got the S not the XS and I think it'd fit you.
"My horse! Hold your fire--he has my horse!"
To stop firing would be "suspendre le tir", but I think you probably want "ne pas tirer" which would convey not starting to fire. So, that gives:
Mon cheval! Ne tirez pas--il a mon cheval!
But I would probably say "il a pris mon cheval" (he has taken my horse). It just "yells" better with the extra syllable.
What colour is yours, Burrell?
