Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

oops, I watched the video before scrolling more to see we shouldn't boost the count. I don't think it's a middle aged guy. Hearing the other voice off 'camera', it sounds like teenage boys trying to sound grown up. I rated it one star and flagged it for bullying. I find it ironic that he calls the author a coward, and yet, he's too cowardly to show his face on camera. Just an interesting observation. But yes, I think she should just ignore it.

I like Vortex way of thinking. Cook naked! (unless you are frying bacon). Speaking of Pho, I had my first Pho last night! TONS of it around here in Seattle.

I catch a cab in a 3ish hours to the airport. I'm enjoying last bit of relaxing, petting the cute cats, and just ahhh before I go home, and have to clean the house for guest next week, food shop, laundry, all in 100º+ weather.

I have been known to cook topless or bottomless because I don't want to mess up my clothes and I don't feel like going into the bedroom to find something to change into, etc.

When I made tiramisu often, I tended to make it in the buff. It's messy work.

I wouldn't be shocked if there were a fair amount available in Dallas or Houston. Texas is second only to California in its Vietnamese population. Washington is 3rd. I can in theory walk to Pho. I should do that some time. It is one of my favorite things.

ya, I've seen Pho in Dallas. I saw it in SoCal (Little Siagon was between home and work in Westminister, CA). I just never ate it before. I'm hesitant to try new things on my own, but easily persuaded by folks I trust.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Houston has a substantial Vietnamese population, including an area of downtown where the street signs also have alternate Vietnamese names. And excellent Vietnamese food.

I had the chicken pho, and, as someone who doesn't care for soup. I will agree with beth_b on this one.

Thank you for going there, Trudes.
