    Learn Something New Everyday Thread

    Watch for the number of threatened flora species to rise with the decline of bees in this country. The EU banned Roundup and other Monsanto poisons for good reason.

    The New Am I The Only One Thread

    Met my fiance through OKCupid. At the time they had an option to not limit the range of searches (aka so many miles distant from you); I was in AZ at the time and he was in WI. I felt like the online format was excellent for us introverts, as it gives the opportunity to slowly get to know...

    The "I Saw Something REALLY Weird Today" Thread

    Mink. Horse. Cow. Goat. Where do you think most keratin comes from? Yeah, I go with the no-animal-product, no-animal-testing ones myself. I'm not opposed to eating meat. But I draw the line at torturing animals for our vanity.

    The... -wait fer it-... "What made you laugh today?" Thread

    At the family get-together on xmas eve, my nephew made a meat house. Yep. Tiny cottage made out of salami and toothpicks. As the "meat house" has been a running joke between us for a while, this was perfect. He of course paraded it around the house and we offered suggestions for meat real estate...

    Boiled ANYTHING is nasty. A bit northeast of us, in Door County, WI, they have FISH BOILS, which is exactly as awful as it sounds.

    The State of Us & Our Things

    This seems like a good thread to post in today. Anthony Bourdain has committed suicide, in case you missed the news this morning. For me this comes at the end of a hard, depressing week full of struggles and crises. There are tributes all over the web today from his friends and fans, and one of...

    "The Happytime Murders" premieres August 24, 2018

    I just saw the trailer this weekend, and yeah, the lead character does have a Johnny Fiama feel to him. It looks...crude and awful and wonderful. Yeah, I'll watch that.

    My first exposure to the Season 0 eps was at the second MST3K Conventioconexpofestarama in Minneapolis. They had a viewing room open throughout the con, playing really obscure season 0 and 1 eps. I have a handful burned to DVD, though of course the transfer quality is not awesome. Early Crow is...

    Your Life A-Z

    Well, I have reason finally to like Valentine's day, but plenty of folks don't. And the whole month is gray slush and nothing much going on.

    Hello again.

    Huh? What? Is there a news flash? Ohai...sorry, been exhaustingly busy IRL. Popping in tonight for a bit while my sweetie is working on reconditioning his cast iron pans. (Yes. We're nerds and homebodies.)

    Dealing with depression and anxiety

    Glad you've been able to find treatment for the seizures. I know this sounds cliched, but just do your best on the grad exams, and walk away from anyone who stresses you when you're already dealing with so much. You WILL get through this!

    The “What did you do today?” thread

    Yesterday: wrote another chapter on a twisted puppet horror novel. Pleased with progress thus far. Today, worked a little OT...need to save up as we have several birthdays in the family this month.

    The new What Made You Smile Today thread

    Paella is awesome, although I make mine sans seafood. I do use saffron and chorizo...and my great grandmother's paella pan. Dang it, now I'm hungry.
