Huh, i prefer rice cooked on stovetop, apparently. I have now given up on my rice cooker as it tends to burn the rice on the bottom and leaves it super dry. Might just be that it is old and defective, but good to know that i prefer the stovetop alternative.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Even a webpage that said they could be benifical told me how to kill the nest.

Omnis, you can probably get one of those cold storage bags at the market, a bag of ice, and some sort of frozen snack.I have one of those, and that's what I did. Half a bag of ice (they only sell 10# bags, and the bag just wasn't that big). Jello cups, and Klondike bars. The bag leaked a lil bit. Some. Ok, I'm guessing a fair amount, as there wasn't all that much water in it at the end of the night. But there was still some ice, which impressed me for an insulated shopping bag. We had the Klondike bars first (ya for dessert first!) and good thing. They were messy, but lots of yum all around. Others brought various cheeses, and berries, and grapes, and french bread. Lots of healthy yum, and good conversation. I took the spot on the blanket with the most obstructed view (figuring, heck, I've seen theater before, I usually listen more than anything), plus I was last to sit on the blankets. At one point GGG started to saddle over to sit next to me when other person got up to use the loo, but then GGG saw the view and was like "can you see there?" I demonstrated my lean left/lean right to see around the pole. Not thinking that might have been a GREAT entry to move down to her part of the blanket. :: kicks self :: End of the night, once again we were parked in different corners. Plus she was carrying cooler-with-no-wheels with carpool buddy. They were trying to walk slow to keep pace with me, but I said, "go ahead, before your arms fall off". CPB said ok nice to meet you, and picked up the pace, and GGG looked over her shoulder and said "call you soon!". Voila. Fini.
Still have headache. But had a nice time.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yay! Looks like your whole life is a Girl Story of the Day recently.Ya, and never a chance to snog. But hey, continued interactions is progress. Good things come to those who wait, right? Plus, I'm meeting some cool people, so hopefully my introverted shell will crack a little more.

I've used this dish as my go-to potluck option for about 10 years. People love it...think you are Julia Child...and it takes almost zero effort. Highly recommended.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
omnis, your GGG stories are more fun than TV right now. When is GGG s1 ep4?
Cat-sitting is trickier than I thought it would be, given that my only pet experience is hamsters (although my current hamster is four years old, so I can't be bad). I have no grip at the moment, so there's almost more cat food on the floor than in the bowls. And I think I'm giving them too much food. They're also not being very friendly yet. I'm hoping that tonight's feeding will be enough meals to persuade them I'm OK, and lead to some sitting on my lap.
There must be work today, or my supervisor will be less than impressed on Wednesday at my two weeks of utter and total bloody laziness.
