Comedy, adventure, sometimes suspense. I don't like horror or musicals or super gooey romantic movies. I'm sure they can be good once you get invested but I just feel like ugh, I don't wanna get into it.

Anything grilled is extra good in the summer, only trouble is nobody wants to stand outside in the heat over a hotter grill!

Thank you, I didn't know them but it's so heartbreaking to lose an entire family. Three generations, little kids and all... I understand they were out there celebrating one of their birthdays as well Flooding seems so out of place somewhere as dry as this and every year someone is caught off guard.

Couple weeks ago it was near 120 and seemed like there were wildfires covering the whole state. Today it's pouring buckets and the streets are flooding. Hope that at least put out the fires :/

I'm very sorry to hear that. I hope you are able to take as much time as you need to grieve.

They showed a stack of papers that were letters people had written saying to keep him locked up, and they all but said "we're not allowed to take your prior murders into consideration." From all I heard about the robbery (which is solely what this was supposed to be about) anyone else with good behavior would be paroled at this point and I actually agree on that part. Unfortunately still also a murderer though so that makes it awkward.

I can rarely actually fall asleep during a nap because it takes me so long, I usually just lay there and think about all the other stuff I could/should be doing instead. Sometimes if I just tell myself I don't have to sleep but I am just going to lay here and relax for 10 minutes that can be restful in its own way.

I like Chrome, it has a few nice bells and whistles and less of the clutter of some others. Internet Explorer is a clunky awful mess.

I type pretty fast, I haven't measured in a while but I think it was over 100wpm. They taught us typing courses in school and I always finished a few days ahead of the rest of the class and would sit and talk to the teacher or read a book.

B vitamins make me feel nauseous even as part of the multivitamins I try to remember to take once in a while. I actually cut the multivitamin in small pieces and spread it out over a few days, that way it doesn't bother my stomach plus I read you can't even absorb it all at once so you're basically losing most of the vitamin in the bathroom anyway.

I like a few soups but I like the thick kind rather than the brothy kinds. To me a brothy soup is like having to hunt for food chunks in a bowl of hot murky water, I'd rather just strain it and eat! I end up leaving most of the broth.

Same here, we have a few in the house but it's never in the drawer when you're looking for it.

Just English, I took French in high school but without ever having been serious about it or having people to practice with, I've forgotten pretty much all of it. It probably would've served me better to know a little Spanish but I thought French sounded prettier.

I've found duct tape to be great for crafts more than actual repairs. Maybe I used cheap brands of it but I found it may hold something fine at first but dries out and breaks down pretty fast.

Off-Topic / Re: How many tattoos are too many?

« on: July 17, 2017, 11:20:40 am »Message ID: 1155394

I find tattoos unattractive and would never have one myself but I also don't agree with employers who will turn down an otherwise fine applicant because they have a tattoo visible. If your whole face is a swastika or something that's another story, but it's not fair to treat everyone with any tattoo like riffraff. To each their own.
