That's okay!

Take the Modern Art History class (preferably from Mark Magleby) and it will blow your mind.

I'm convinced that getting educated about anything will make you love it.

Sauron and I have known all of each others' passwords since we were dating, and we have a shared One Password account. But after a particular Board question that I don't think has posted yet, it seems like we're perhaps more open/lazy than other couples. ETA: Strike that, it posted. Also, we don't w...

...I like Costco's.

A question was just asked about this very thing.

Perhaps Board writers/readers are highly prone to self-evaluation.

I don't really buy the argument that legislation denies anyone their agency, but I agree with the sentiment. I was one of the quotees in that answer, but RP put it all together much more beautifully than I ever could. He's amazing like that.

Ah, so it's a "you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me" sort of situation.

It's an April Fool's question...

Wait what, I have an easter egg in one of my answers? I haven't even answered as krebscout.

I'm like 3/64ths Cheerokee.

I often make big sandwiches to feed a crowd (like Subway, on french bread loaves), or pot pie, or sometimes I do some crock-pot pulled-beef wraps.

I was a sort of 'nerd-of-all-trades' - I fit in equally with the AP student nerds, band nerds, drama nerds, magic-the-gathering nerds, socially awkward nerds, etc. The table I sat at at lunch was a mishmash of different nerds from the various different groups (even a few goths and druggies from tim...

I want to know your answers, though I suspect everybody will say geek/nerd of some form.

I have never seen such a thing. But I have seen a couple of leotards in the past few months.

I talk about it with my siblings, too. Or, rather, naughty jokes are now told freely in front of everybody in the family, because we're all married, and my family has always been a little less than proper. And I talk about it a little with my mom friends. And, of course, my husband. But I'm a fairly...

I just recently got my first migraine, and it seemed directly related to me having binged on something sugary. My friend who was with me recommended some protein to balance out my sugar levels, so I had some turkey and nuts and felt better after a few minutes. Probably doesn't help people who get mi...

Thank you, guys, these are all good ideas. And I would love to line my floor with mattresses. Sauron and I are in disagreement on how to proceed...so we'll see if I can get the brownies/dinner thing going or not.

How can you gracefully reject an offered hug in a social situation? Assume that there's a good reason not to hug, and that it's best not to talk about that reason with the hugger.

Our downstairs neighbor is a single woman, probably around 30 or so, that we have very little interaction with. She smokes a lot of pot, smokes a lot of tobacco, and tends to play music at extreme, bass-thumping-through-the-floor volumes. I appreciate a good rock out, I do. And we're hardly quiet ou...
