I'll stick with Mozilla, as they support net neutrality.

Happy Belated to you! Miss your art around here. Hope the coming year brings you more love & laughter! :fanatic: The third greatest gift EVER!

HAPPY CAKEDAY to the most delightfully opinionated SOB around here. I hope your life only improves from now on, and that you'll rejoin us soon. Best wishes no matter what. :)

:news: HERE IS A MUPPET NEWS FLASH! Florida residents reported seeing a low flying comet streaking over the state this evening. An investigation found that it was actually a chef who had put Roman candles into a chocolate birthday cake. The chef apparently mistook the notoriously unstable...

Same. Might be a mobile issue. I'll check again at home.

F I'm not knocking your dream, but I'd advise finding a business partner for help setting up a boutique shop. Pick a city that already has an affluent community that could support your shop. (Offhand, I know Portland, OR, Asheville, NC, and Appleton, WI are good for niche market specialty stores.)

Thanks, you guys! It actually went okay...the COO (AND Executive VP, yeeek) sat with me for maybe half an hour, and I explained to him what I do, and he watched me do some of it and listened in on a few calls. He seemed polite and non-judging, so hopefully I came off all right. Then yesterday...

Those are all potentially achievable. YOU CAN DO THE THING! Learning Japanese...lots of decent self-teaching courses out there to get you started, from Rosetta Stone (pricey) to kids' picture dictionaries and phrasebooks. Wouldn't hurt to study online, either, until you can afford an actual...

What about uploading them to a cloud server, as is? I have a friend who posts his podcasts directly to gdrive and anyone can download and listen without having to go through iTunes, etc. Would that work for video files? You could post them as .mkv or .avi, either of which can be played by any...

Ha! Yes, I stay away from online while I'm actually writing, unless I need to fact-check or research something...and then I have to be very strict about NOT wandering off to another topic or chatting/tweeting/watching videos. Those are for breaks. The graphic novel sounds fun! If you're worried...

I'm sorry he seems to have lost interest in the project, or was too shy to want his bio out in the world. However, what about completing the book yourself? You can always keep his name in the co-author spot if you feel his contributions deserve it.

Today, the COO of the entire company (and I work for a global company, with offices in several countries) will be breathing down my neck for an hour and a half, shadowing me on calls and seeing what I do. Though a small part of me is all Yo, Back Office, represent!, the rest of me is very...

Absolutely! Go stag (doe?) with a friend or two.

Worst case scenario? He says no, you're sad for a while, you move on. You have nothing to lose by asking.

Ok, here's an example: Say a witness to a crime is interviewed at the scene by press. Maybe there was a gang hit, and a woman saw it. They'll black or blur out her face on-camera so that the rest of the gang doesn't learn her identity and retaliate if she ends up being a witness for the cops...

Yeeeesh. Sounds hideous. Tried neem oil sprays?

Various reasons. Backlash, usually.

Ok, so it was last night, but my sweetie made us shrimp-stuffed tofu and I actually liked it. First time ever I found tofu palatable!

Hear hear! I assume you've already begun shopping your book to publishers?

Senior prom isn't the world's end...it just feels that way! Seriously though. It took me (and my fiance) decades and a failed marriage each before we decided just to be ourselves around others, and to find the person who best matched. Try not to worry overmuch about not having a date or a...
