  1. Ever tried hot whiskey? Jameson (or other Irish whiskey, but I prefer Jameson), sugar or honey, hot water, and a slice of lemon with cloves in it. Great for colds, imo. One of my best friends, who's Irish (and whom I shared this flat with before the one who just moved out) taught me how to make it.
  2. The 'scientific' explanation would be that music activates many different parts of the brain at once, which leads to strong emotional responses to what you're hearing. Alternatively: because good music moves you, for better or for worse.
  3. I like a little bit of butter, too. Anyway, as my ex used to say, broccoli should not be cooked, it should be carried through a warm room, lol! Didn't understand it until a year after we broke up and I actually tried it.
  4. Heh, my characters keep doing shit I really hadn't planned for them to do... I think it's pretty common for stories to take a turn we weren't expecting sometimes.
  5. Had that with broccoli, kind of. Went most of my life thinking that broccoli was soggy and icky cause I'd only ever had it over cooked. Steamed my own to serve to a friend who likes it a lot and, omg, revelation!
  6. Maybe so, but I just started reading your story, too.
  7. With such ringing endorsements I should really check out your work as well.
  8. Yeah, not too bad today. Flatmate moved all her stuff out. Just boyfriend and me now.
  9. They're tasty. And reasonably healthy. I buy them in Sweden, they don't even have them in Norway, sadly...
  10. I'm snacking on peanut rings. Bought some when I was last in Sweden. I love them, but you can't get them here. They're actually pretty healthy as snacks go, too.
  11. I am snacking on peanut rings.
  12. Hm... Are you gonna drive under the sea? Are boats an option? Goodnight, Marty! Lol, I'm one timezone over, it's past 2 here. I should probably think about sleep soon, too...
  13. Or just serve them proper food... Odds are they'll like it just fine once they taste it. Easier said than done, though, I know.
  14. It's yummy. A tiny bit tangier than cranberry sauce, I think... Though maybe that's just the way I cook it, I prefer less sugar. The IKEA stuff is a lot sweeter than what I make myself. EDIT: If you ever have leftovers from a roast or something, pytt is like the easiest thing ever to make. We always have it around Christmas, with the leftover ham. Eating is important. I love shepherd's pie! Make it quite often myself. 'tis yummy. Also: Hi, Wayne! Welcome to the DiC!
  15. Ooh, yum... We had a dish called pytt i panna today. It's diced meat, potato, and onion fried up in a pan. Leftover foods. Served with sunny side up eggs and, traditionally, pickled beets, though we didn't have any so we had lingonberry jam with it instead. It was yummy.
  16. Either way, if someone's gonna move or do something with your toilet, scrubbing it beforehand is just common decency, really.
  17. Very true. Thank you, tim.
  18. Well, if you wanna fly over to Norway for your appointments, I'll put in a good word with her.
  19. Yup. Sex ed works. Fewer serious STIs on average, too (though of course there are some spread easily even with condom use). And, interestingly, fewer unwanted pregnancies = fewer abortions. Who knew?
  20. i write the word and scratch it out hit backspace start again three times, four times begin the message anew and then scrap it not worth it go back and edit doesn’t read right that wasn’t what i meant but it’s there, in black and white and cannot truly be unsaid did they read it yet? so many words unspoken so many messages unsent worried i’ll say the wrong thing be misunderstood offend i wri
