So I just went to sit down on the bus, and my knee made a horrible popping noise and it felt like a muscle or tendon actually moved over or under my kneecap, and for about three minutes it was all I could do not to scream or throw up. Now it hurts less, and I am hoping to be able to walk to change buses, but both my knee and my ankle kill. WtTF was that and what should I do?
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How does one make oatmeal (no prize for that segue) in the microwave without everything going splodey?

Sophia,
I think you should ice it as soon as you get home. that's all I got.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Put oatmeal in bowl. Use microwave to boil water in cup. pour boiling water onto oatmeal. Stir well. cool bowl 30 seconds at a time until done, stirring each time. Not a huge labor saver over stovetop except: 1) and water not added to oatmeal is pour off immeadiately. Rest evaporates from cup. 2) When done with bowl it can be put in dishwasher.
Thus, no saving in cooking labor, but some saving in cleaning labor.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
WRT Thanksgiving, my mom has decreed that she cannot stand turkey, and isn't all that fond of the usual trimmings, either. We are therefore having homemade Thai curry. Possibly shrimp curry at that.
I am not complaining.

I put a saucer on top of everything I heat in a bowl in the microwave.
Also, heat for 45 seconds, stir, heat for 45 seconds, stir.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh.
I put half a cup of oatmeal in a bowl with one cup water and nuke for two min. No cover, no stirring until its done.
Or I'll do one cup oatmeal with two cups of water for three minutes.
I have yet to have a splodey incident.

Guess who's just been made content update lead for our refresh release that happens in mid-December? Because my new boss and the two senior writer/editor process people think I'll be really good at it and want me to take on more lead-type responsibilities? I sense an "omg I tricked them into thinking I'm competent freak-out in my very near future.

Sophia, that sounds very disconcerting. The icing idea seems good.
I have two Thanksgivings planned--one this Saturday with friends and one on the day with my upstairs neighbor (also a friend) and her family. Both will be turkey centric, but I'll just be bringing a side dish and wine.
ETA: That's great, Jilli!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I don't think I need Andrew Ti to help me with this one:
Coworker: I had a really bad morning. There was a truck blocking me in my driveway for a half an hour! It was one of those guys picking through the trash for cans.
Me: Did he at least apologize?
Coworker: Well he was black.
