That is a very nice sweater. (I can’t help myself.)
Re Nutella, apparently they lost a lot of hazelnuts in Turkey, where something like 70% of the world’s supply of the nut originate. Nooooooooooooooooo.

I am officially menopausal! Had da Vinci laproscopic surgery yesterday morning, released this afternoon. I never realized quite how much I use my abdominal muscles until they all started screaming at once! I’m to stay off my feet as much as I can for a week, then start moving around more once I’m cleared.
My nephew was very excited about the ‘robot assisted’ part of the surgery, but a bit disappointed that the robot doesn’t have kaiju fighting weapons – we showed him Pacific Rim when he visited, and it made an impression.
Oh! That went through!
First time my first comment after logging in hasn’t been sent to an error page. Wow.
*cough*
Anyhow, boo to abdominal pain 🙁
Hopefully Yay! to menopausal ?
And definately YAY! for da Vinci laproscopic surgery rather than large scars, and even /more/ pain.
And do I (and possibly other British Mammotheers) have to huddle in a secret bunker for seeing the first ep of Peter Capaldi’s Dr Who tonight ? If so, I’ll have to investigate the bon bon and scented candle supplies before the shops shut.
Look, I’m trying to distract people from conflict by encouraging them to hate me for Dr Who watching here!
Hello!!?
I just hate conflict here kthanzbai

Doctor who is amazing. Can I hide in your bunker? We can paint it like a Tardis and eat jelly babies.
Anybody want a funny story?
My GF and I had been seeing each other for about a month. She had picked me up at my house because the Honda Discord was off at the shop again.
(Note, it started out as an Accord, but was definitely a Discord by the time I decided it was no longer worth fixing. The time it died on the way to work, causing me and it to arrive at work via tow truck, was the kicker.)
(anyway)
So we were rolling along in the fast lane of a four-lane street that evening, and I saw a male ox beetle waddling along in the slow lane by streetlight.
Now, an ox beetle that has achieved its’ full size is roughly the size of a mouse. It is a type of rhinoceros beetle, and the male has these huge crests. I was able to see that it was likely a full-sized male while we were flying by. I told her to stop, I got out, I went back to get it.
It WAS a magnificent male ox beetle with all the trimmings! I was just over the moon with delight!
So I ran up to the car to show my GF this absolutely magnificent beetle…and was totally surprised when she started screaming in horror.
…Didn’t know she was afraid of bugs…oops…

So the drama-atomic-bomb over at The Best Human Being (War Machine) thread made salient some internalized transmisogyny I’ve not been dealing with. I don’t really have a convenient person to bounce philosophy off of, so I’m hoping someone acquainted with sex-positivity and modern iterations of gender identity can be my rubber wall and give me feedback on the soundness of my rationalizations as I dig ditches through my own psyche.

@blahtastic: LOL re beetle. But only LOL because I wasn’ there, otherwise I would probably be in fright.
@coffee: I can’t speak for others, but I don’t want the conversation in this thread. That’s why I’m in the bunker here (although more knitting than watching Dr Who).

And I approve of the new Doctor Who. Scots Doctors FTW!

(I don’t like the conflict either…)
Can the jelly babies be vegetarian?
I don’t think you should hide in a bunker for watching Doctor Who. It’s a great show, quite lovely.
Maybe an amphitheater in the woods? Although painting it to look like a tardis would be more difficult in that case.
Also, seconding the vegetarian jelly babies.
Why would anyone hide in a bunker while watching Doctor Who? Everyone likes Doctor Who.
@Katz
Because you just watched Silence in the Library? Or The Doctor Dances? Or Turn Left? Or the one with the weeping angels?
I admit, it was the giant bugs that actually caused me nightmares, but there are plenty of good reasons to hide in a bunker while watching Doctor Who.
Doctor Who is awesome and I should really catch up on the show, I suppose.
I haz no TeeVee. It’s ok. TV is the evil brain-sucking machine.

Um…Can try…+++Out of coffee error+++ *drinks coffee*
@pallygirl I was hoping for an email swap, not in the thread. Should have mentioned that.
@blahlistic Sure. Also, never run out of coffee. That shit’ll kill you. The not-coffee, that is.
…But maybe somewhere else…
Am ok with the idea of swapping email, just not ok with *publicly posting* main email account…O.o
@coffee: thanks for clarifying. 🙂
WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF just kidding I know exactly what you’re afraid of. uh, shit, how do we do this lol. Can you send PMs on twitter? Probably not.
