Malcador Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Fun way to get weird looks on the street, is talking about murdering someone's kids when you have a feud with them rather than them.

Tale Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 I experimented with ramen today. Mostly I learned that it's remarkably hard to screw up ramen so long as you're not being ridiculous. But also: Egg whites do not form ribbons when doing egg drop. But neither do they ruin the broth. They do leave a residue on the bottom of the pan, or at least with what I did. Salted mushrooms are pretty good. Putting broccoli into soup inevitably makes the entire thing taste a bit like broccoli soup. The flavor is strong with this vegetable. Medium size shrimp sink.

Bartimaeus Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Congratulations, TrueNeutral! 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Hurlshort Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) Congrats and commiserations to TN. Alan Thicke passed away of a heart attack.

Maybe a bit traumatic, but I'm sure the kid realizes his dad died doing something he loved. Edited December 14, 2016 by Hurlshot 1
Azdeus Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Congratulations TN! 1 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

Maybe a bit traumatic, but I'm sure the kid realizes his dad died doing something he loved. not to be too grim, but alan didn't die playing hockey. he died o' a heart attack. weren't as if he were skating and sudden dropped dead with a smile on his face. likely fell to ice clutching chest or arm. unable to breathe. confused and in pain. bystanders feel most helpless as the heart attack victim grimaces and moans and desperate grasps for help which will not come in time. if we were to die o' a heart attack, we wouldn't want family or friends 'round who would likely second guess themselves for not recognizing signs or failing to get help. have watched the final moments o' a heart attack victim... twice. violent. desperate. fearful. am s'posing there is folks who can die o' a massive heart attack like in movies where they just kinda slump to the ground and exhale one final painless breathe. such gentle passings ain't in our experience. now the linda mccartney death sounds a bit more peaceful. she rides horse with family and then s'posed dies... of cancer. got somebody with stage iv cancer who is nevertheless able to enjoy a horse ride is unlikely to die from cancer on the same day. maybe had some assistance getting past the ultimate threshold? even so, sounds relative nice even if a bit contrived.

Gfted1 Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Did he have PTSD? "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Gromnir Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 condolences. so often the people who are most in need of help are the individuals least likely to ask for it. it is so pointless to find out afterwards just how bad a person was hurting.
