Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

I've got a friend who's creating (well, reviving) a forum site. It's focused around online Werewolf games and general conversations, typically about slightly geeky things like video games, comicons, role playing, and reading. I've joined the site, first to support him, now because I'm enjoying what ...

Dissemble: conceal one's true motives, feelings, or beliefs.

Was trying to convince someone that I'm terrible at lying or hiding my emotions. I think he finally believed just how bad I am at dissembling.

http://www.goccn.net/AVDL/AudDL/ccmass/ccmass.mp3 Fastforward to about 46:35 and listen to our anthem from this week. It's my favorite from the Lenten season. Loving this. Thanks for sharing, Imogen! Also, why do they sing the scriptures? It's really pretty and cool sounding. Is there significance ...

So question. You all seem to have some great foods. I am looking for what meals freeze well. I cook up a meal or two on the weekend, freeze it in little tin dishes, and then eat it for lunch throughout the week. But some stuff just doesn't freeze well. And I need more veggies and fruits in my diet, ...

I ended up back in my hometown - something I never wanted to do - and have actually been surprisingly satisfied. I live about 15 minutes from my family's house and attend the YSA ward, so I only see them when I stop by home to do laundry. Not planning on staying here long-term though. I've come to l...

I met my first Meese this weekend. (So I guess 18 months is my answer to this question . Do cousins even count?) Looks like it's in my phone's dictionary , too. :P I agreed to meet my boyfriend's parents this Sunday. Ack. Advice? Just treat it like it's no big deal. When I've gotten nervous about m...

Thanks Emiliana. I was really lucky to have him in my life and still have him as a friend. It's a great reminder.

Portia, I've never been a huge fan of Holland's. Last conference I think was the one time I really loved his talk. Usually I feel very strongly after his talks. Not always positively. But I dislike talks that play that strongly to emotion. They overwhelm and confuse me as much as they help. Unless t...

This is what I've been told.

MSJ, where do you watch Veronica Mars? Or, rather, do you have to pay to watch it?

It's on Amazon Instant Video, but you have to have a Prime account.

Score! Got it. Thanks.

Thanks guys. Portia: functional thinking is a coping mechanism for me. It doesn't make me like myself much better, but it makes me forgive myself for not being pretty enough. The thought becomes "I'll never be beautiful, but at least I'm strong." Not the best, but a vast improvement over t...

I wanted to share something and this feels like the right place to do it. I've dealt with negative body image for years. In the past couple years I finally started trying to spend some time trying to adjust the mentality and not just my body. I'd gotten so much better. I've been working out and eati...

Well, the tortillas weren't homemade. I just baked the tortillas until they got crispy. But yeah, it is healthier than nachos, just as yummy, and less soggy.

Update: my experiment was very successful! White rice, black beans, finely chopped onion and red bell pepper, frozen corn, sliced olives, a bit of salsa and some taco seasoning mixed in a bowl. I poured the rice mix into a 9x13 pan, topped it with some refried beans and shredded cheese and stuck in ...

One of my coworkers has bought an "organic Mexican casserole" thing for lunch every day this week, and tonight I'm going to attempt to replicate and freeze my own bowls. Way too much sodium in the packaged ones. They give me a salt buzz, cost a lot, and rarely fill me on their own.

Congrats, Smurf Blue, on your NZ trip! I'm currently trying to scrounge up the money for a trip to a writers' conference at [Ivy League School] with a side trip to NYC (first time ever!) thrown in. And don't let anyone tell you that a woman can't travel alone safely. I just went to Tahoe and had a ...

Welcome to the BoardBoard!

I haven't had to do it myself, but the benefit of dealing with it is that if the company you are disputing doesn't reply, it's automatically resolved in your favor. I'd recommend typing your letter so you can just print and send multiple times if need be.

My first boyfriend held my hand weeks before I accepted that we were a couple. And kissed me. And it worked out fine. This has actually happened twice, but the second time we never acted like a couple if anyone was around. From my perspective of being the girl, she could very well be interested in b...
