YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! Gooseberry is my jam! lol i collect these and jadite. so my kitchen and dining room will be a cute pink and green
Love!! These are the highlight of my collection. I have a complete set of 8. I can't wait for when DD is older and I can let her use these for a tea/princess/whatever party. I haven't bought any new items in years. DW banned new pink things from the kitchen
There are some episodes of DS9 that, in the wake of 9/11, make your blood run cold and the hair on the back of your neck stand up. They're prescient.
I don't want to like this, but I find this interesting. DS9 is the only one I haven't seen yet.
The major themes, especially in the later seasons, were the horror of war, terrorism, religious belief and fanaticism, questioning of the Federation's "exceptionalism", how people can/will compromise their ideals to fight against a greater evil and the ramifications of those choices ...
secretlyevil - I like the adopt a charity thing the best - maybe that and a makeup gift exchange like @majorwife suggested. I'd probably just do the charity thing myself, but I'm only wearing chapstick today.
@majorwife - What happens if you just put anchors and shelves in without DH around? I know, it's sneaky, but I resort to that in our house every so often.
My random - DH said, "What?! You're going to have Chai with WHOLE MILK today? You don't NEED that sort of fat! You're going on a ride tonight after work, right?" to me as I heated up a cup of chai this morning. He is in the dog house...and is going to get my side eye for the remainder of the entire day. WTF, DH?!?!

Thank you.
Oh hell no to you DH. What was he thinking? Even if you are trying to lose weight and you've asked for his support, this is not how you do it.

How hard is it to get around Italy, say Milan, without knowing Italian? H has a business trip coming up and we are considering me tagging along, now that my counts are back up to par.

We managed in Rome for a week with my H's pidgin Italian, which was really bastardized Spanish.

I don't know Milan, but my sister and I spent about a week and a half wandering around Florence and Rome 10 years ago without knowing a lick of Italian and never had a bit of an issue. (I took 4 years of latin though! Which did actually allow me to make out some really basic signs)
i am finally getting around to decorating the dining room/living room and it is BEYOND pissing me off that DH insists everything be nailed into a fucking stud. working around studs is fucking annoying and throws off the aesthetic.
I haven't read beyond this in the thread, but I need to say (and ignore if somebody else said it)...
Dude... hasn't your husband heard of anchors?
eta: good to know this subject has been tackled. You can get mega mega anchors. They all have a weight on them. Most of them, it's like 50 or 75 pounds. You can get ones, though, that hold more than that... the ones with the wings that come out... like these, they're rated to 300 lbs: www.homedepot.com/p/WingIts-World-s-Strongest-Fastener-Standard-6-Anchors-RC-MAW35-6/202727991
sometimes, you gotta use anchors. our humungous TV is anchored to the wall. so are (I think) our bathroom cabinets (at least in some places). unless your drywall is ultimately shitty, then anchors should be fine, especially for not-every-single attachment point (like, put one side of the shelf in stud, and the other anchored).

So. My 10 year anniversary is next week. I just now started looking for a present. I think I'm going to roll his birthday into it too and get him a freaking scary monster prop.

I knew I liked you for a reason!
Latin for lyfe!
I *might* have been an officer in my school's Junior Classical League (aka Latin club).

Not at all hard. We went to Milan (and Rome, Venice, Pisa, Florence, Cinque Terra, etc.) without knowing any and we had great interactions and even got invited to stay with some Sicilians, but couldn't fit it in.
