'Bushwhacked'
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.
Is there a simple way to squash someone who is adamant that women should pay more for healthcare because they cost more for their lady problems (you know, like pregnancy and birth control)?
Sports injuries. There was some study years ago based on Armed Forces that tried to total up the extra costs from female soldiers and found that volleyball injuries were among the highest categories of expenses.
I think that's the appropriate response, either that or get out, Get Out, GET OUT!
I can only assume said idiot thinks this is payback for young men paying higher auto insurance rates. But driving recklessly is a choice--unlike being born with a VAGINA.
Or a baby hole, as they now call it in Michigan.
In a complete change of topic, I am contemplating making my own mayonnaise (because it is 100 degrees, I started making chicken salad before I realized we had no mayo, and I have no intention of leaving the house in this heat.) Am I crazy? It feels like one of those terrifying cooking things.
okay, Beau and I put an application for a townhouse. I hope we get it because I am not sure what I will do if the app isn't approve or the owners don't want us in the joint. Getting a place to rent is such a racket. We had to do a credit check and pay $35 each for such a credit check. They would not accept our own credit reports.
They also have every bit of information about us except our DNA.
I hear it's actually super easy, flea. Just a lot of beating, basically.
Can you do something else, flea? Like, for example, I make a pasta salad with loads of fresh veg, and Italian dressing. Chicken would be a good addition to it, I mean, it's 100 degrees. I wouldn't be trying a new recipe just to create an ingredient for another recipe,
Mayo is totally not terrifying or hard: imagine girding yourself with the spirit of Julia Child in all her "what could possibly go wrong? and who cares if it does anyway?" glory. More practically, add the oil slowly until it all starts to come together rather than dumping it all in at once; that's really the only potentially tricky part.
flea, I understand homemade mayo involves mostly stirring, so a good mixer is your best weapon.
Dana, so sorry for the bad news atop more for your husband.
