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.
The lipo thing is right - it's not like human fat is remotely scarce.
I'm trying to remember the percentage you're supposed to add to figure actual unemployment. Drawing a blank. Hey, it was almost 20 years ago I learned it.
I don't think it's a static number, though more so than current unemployment. Right now, for instance, I'd guess there's a much higher proportion of people underemployed or having left the market than normal.
ita, where do you stand on sweet and spicy together? (I ask, as I sprinkle cayenne on my mango sorbet.)
I don't think it's a static number
Yeah, I think this was based on the Depression, but an average.
I don't mind sweet and spicy as a premise. Depends where it happens--Indian tamarind balls with black pepper are gross. But I love jalapenos and chocolate, for instance.
shrift, would you hate me if I asked what you thought of last week's SPN?
I actually haven't seen the two latest episodes yet, and that's why I haven't been in the thread!
There are 20 or 30 completely overdressed hipster teens in the alley behind my building. They seem to be congregating there aimlessly, and have given me dirty looks for standing on my back porch to smoke because I'm, like, some stupid bitch who might call the cops. I'm almost tempted to call the cops because I'm concerned they don't understand that they're completely overdressed and in Uptown. Kids these days.
However, 30 Hipsters in the Alley could make an excellent band name.

Ah! When you do, can I ask you then?
re: unemployment map
I wonder why there's that comparatively better off swatch in the Intermountain West. Farmers?
Unemployment in MA apparently went down last month, but I always wonder if that's because of people leaving the work force, not getting jobs.
I think running out of unemployment benefits can also knock you out of the statistic.
It always makes me sad when TJs stops carrying an item I love. I'm still sad about the vanilla paste, but at least I can get that from Surfas. But TJs had it for so cheap.
My current TJ frustration is the crispy seaweed that they had like ONCE before they stopped carrying it. Grrr.
I weep when TJs stops carrying something I love. But they do respond to feedback on when items are good, bad or totally freaking awesome.
