When I hear 'conspiracy theorist,' the implication to me is that the person is likely to skew or cherry-pick evidence to fit a theory. When I hear 'skeptic,' I'm more likely to assume that the person is waiting for more evidence to come in.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So, I roasted my stuffed turkey on Monday so I could use the cooked meat to make a stew and the stuffing to make dumplings for today, because I am all about dumplings. And this morning I got the stew ingredients all chopped and assembled and the dumpling dough mixed up and chilling in the fridge, almost done. Went to roll the dough into balls and dropped the whole mess on the floor.
The dog is very happy. I am not. But mostly I wanted to let you all know that nobody else needs to drop Thanksgiving dinner on the floor today, I have taken care of that.
I have tons of stuffing, I'll be able to make more dough, dinner is not ruined.

5 Second rule, -t! Speaking as someone, who, once caught the cat licking the half-thawed Xmas turkey, shooed him away, and told no-one else.
Anyone else have traditional Thanksgiving episodes that are awesome?

It was WAY less gross than the time I found him licking our toothbrushes. That cat had a thing for mint!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
My niece wants Chuck Taylors for Christmas. Has anyone ever ordered custom Chucks? How long do they take to get?
