Oh God, I miss that place. I used to spend hours in there just reading and sipping coffee. It used to be a place that I could go to to relax. Now we have this ebook bullshit.
That's why they closed. People went in there and relaxed. They didn't buy a lot of books. If people were, it'd be open.
Politics as a whole have been a joke in the US for the past 30 years. It wasn't until the Civil Rights Act and the rise of Evangelicalism that the whole fakey "morality" and "traditional family values" detritus started becoming the forefront. These people are more concerned about women taking contraceptives at this point than the fact that the educational system is failing. Not that Democrats are any better. Politics are seriously a joke now and it makes me really mad that these clowns are rubbing their butts on the ground while people are legitimately suffering.
politics make me mad like hulk
Really? Democrats are no better? While both parties pander, at least one wants you to have ith control, gay marriage, abortion rights, etc. they're not perfect, but at least they pander in the right direction.
It's all smear tactics, beauracracy, and dick waving all around and It's not helping anybody. It doesn't help that most democratic politicians are just soft republicans (not the good kind) and all they want is to be in positions of power. It makes voting off putting, and that's awful.

John Henry Eden - the only President who can give us all clean, potable water and restore the wasteland! Also, he sounds like Alex DeLarge, Teen Titans' Mad Mod, the guy from Heroes, and the bad guy from Killzone 3; which is always a plus.
Quit adding that tag Pants, I don't want to ban anyone today unless it's on the Walking Dead forum.
I was actually the one who added the "joy of childbirth" tag, back when I posted the pic of Sigourney Weaver in Alien. Happy to take it down for your sake.
I just negotiated a few extra months on my lease instead of having to sign on for a whole additional year. Win. "Fiscal realities" are the only thing keeping me here right now, hoping the situation will be a bit different Q1 next year.
If you think that's expensive, try having a baby. However, if Obamacare survives this next election, it'll be completely free next year. (The contraceptives, not the baby....)
Dunno how it works in the US, but in Australia standard contraceptive pills are free and there are tax breaks for people with young kids. Given the choice, I would prefer to subsidise contraception than other people's unwanted redneck brats.

Ohhhhhh! So it was morbid!! My opinion is completely altered, now.
I hope that tropical storm wont interfere with my travel plans... *sweat*
Obviously, you need a point to point teleporter machine. I'm working on one. It'll teleport you currently, but not in any recognizable form...
As a side note, parents that make their kids feel worthless should be beaten with chains - and not in the BDSM fun time way, either. Not a Pants problem personally, and I don't want to name the person for privacy's sake, but god damn. If I have to make a post about it, it becomes a Pants problem.
I don't know if it's cultural or what, but someone I know has parents who constantly guilt them and engage in manipulation and psychological torture the likes of which I've never previously seen. How it doesn't qualify as abuse is beyond me. I can't wait until circumstance drives them to be a non issue for this person. Until then, all I can do is care.
Semi-sloppy plating so i could take a picture. I made this desert special yesterday and it sold a bunch and people liked it. I got really embarrassed when the sous made me go out and accept a thank you from a guest. *shy*
With respect, Master Wayne, perhaps this is a man that you don't fully understand either. A long time ago, I was in Burma. My friends and I were working for the local government. They were trying to buy the loyalty of tribal leaders by bribing them with precious stones. But their caravans were being raided in a forest north of Rangoon by a bandit. So we went looking for the stones. But in six months, we never met anyone who had traded with him. One day I saw a child playing with a ruby the size of a tangerine. The bandit had been throwing the stones away. Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
It's a baked apple filled with what's essentially mincemeat without the meat and a fig jam sitting on top of spiced shortbread. It's topped with ice cream and served with a vanilla rosemary ricotta spread. The thing on top is a Florentine with pepitas and more rosemary.
Been 'moving in' for two weeks now. The last three days things have really accelerated. Just need to finish putting up the posters, find a place for my Lion King art prints, and set up my books on the lore of unexisting worlds.

Ah, another place to use divisionten's image!
But I thought I'd share a link .

So... Rebellion?
Bane style?
Marvin dropped out, didn't you hear? A sad day that was.
I think you should all vote for the guy who wants to give more money to the rich. Us Europeans think he's hi-la-ri-ous.
Republicans.

It's also the only state that is, mathematically speaking, flatter than a pancake.
Oh god, I'm about to invite Icedhope and Secret Fawful into my home. WHAT HAVE I DONE?
Black magic? Horrible demon rituals? And why am I not there to join?
It's just the mods, pants.
One of us screams "tag raid" and whoever deletes tags fastest gets a cookie. Pants tags are half points.
Oh wait, she said that out loud.

It's also home to the midpoint between New York and San Francisco.
See you all in Seattle (if you survive the drive)!
I want to get rich before I vote for that guy.
Ohhhhhh! So it was morbid!! My opinion is completely altered, now.
It is with my own twisted version of pride that I note the exception that my tags receive. Cheerio, lads and lassies. Cheerio.
I hope they're raising a Lenin zombie!
So vote John Henry Eden instead!

Jesus tapdancing Christ, it's awful.
I kinda like these ones
And if we get to choose from that crew, I'm this guy

Read this thread and prepare to be angry at the Boomers.
Not to me, somehow. Noice.
Neither of which are nearly as cool as this.
