We still have 1.5 layers of our leftover wedding cake...and we got married two months ago! It's taking up an awful lot of space in the freezer...

You could get some help with that super easily. If you can't think of any single friends to have a party with, donate it to the Board!

But save some for your anniversaries. That's allowed.

It's also gross. Can you imagine the freezer burn? Yuck.

"First you will be {static}, and then, there will be cake"

THE CAKE IS A LIE!

We had wedding pie.

You rock. Was it chocolate?

If you wrap it up really tight with saran wrap, then put that in a freezer-safe container, it will stay good. I was shocked at how moist and yummy our cake was after a year in the freezer.

In my experience, weddings only lead to more cake.

Well, when cake before = my mother taking over the entire kitchen to make a 3-tier wedding cake and cake after = the pieces mom cut off to make them level, there's a lot less cake now.

I am SO GLAD there's a wedding today. Finally all the cake will go away!

my roommate's best friend got married in april and about the middle of july we found the pan of groom's cake he had put underneath her passenger seat and forgot to tell her was there....

it was ugly. really ugly.

Ugh. I just schooled somebody on "Internet Checkers," and just when I had him trapped in a corner where he had no choice but to face by two kings and die, he said "goodbye" and quit the game.

Jerk.

I hate when people do that!! Do you also play Internet Spades and Internet Backgammon?

We just broke into our own house.

No, I just stick to checkers. It's probably a good thing they don't let people actually type while doing that chat thing because I probably would have broken a commandment with what I would have said to the kid. As it is, I already thought unkind thoughts. Not that I'd ever say anything uncharitable. Ever.

[ahem.]

I'm not sure which commandment you could break over chat in that situation. Let's take a look.

1) No other gods before God: Um, not really applicable.
2) Don't worship idols: N/A
3) Don't use the Lord's name in vain: I guess you could do this. Maybe it's just me, but even though I may be tempted at times to swear or curse, it never really occurs to me to take the Lord's name in vain to make a point.
4) Keep Sabbath day holy: Unless you were playing checkers on a Sunday, this isn't applicable.
5) Honor mother and father: I guess if your parents taught you to be nice and respectful even when people are being jerks, this is the most likely contender.
6) Don't murder: It would be very difficult to murder someone over chat. I'm sure some TV show somewhere has shown how it could happen. But... let's assume you're not quite that motivated.
7) Don't commit adultery: You're not married. And even if you were, I doubt you would be amenable to such activities when a checker jerk was involved.
8) Don't steal: No physical property is involved in this situation. N/A.
9) Don't lie: This is the #2 contender, but it sounds like the things you would be saying would be truthful, if fairly harsh in content.
10) Don't covet: I don't think there is anything you want that he has.




EDIT: Oooo... I had read it as one of the Ten Commandments. Clearly there are other commandments you can break by yelling over the internet.

So, I'm probably crazy, but I just went out and bought myself a piano. I'm sooooooooooooooooo excited. Like, really excited. It's beautiful. And sounds gorgeous. I haven't had a piano where I live in over 4 years. It is going to be AMAZING!! (Did I mention I got it clearance?)

Ooooh, that's exciting! I nearly bought a piano this summer, but a number of things stopped me, including money and the fact that I don't actually have a home, so I don't actually have some where to put a piano.

There is a strange man in my living room speaking German right now. I have no idea who he is.

Any ideas on how to handle this? I don't know if he speaks English.

[Marduk]

Show him a bratwurst, then throw it out the window. He should run out to get it; you can then close and lock the door behind him.

Sometimes I wish I could Shazam my head.

Like this morning, when I woke up with a song that wouldn't leave, but the tape loop wouldn't progress past the instrumental to lyrics so I could place the song.

There went that hour of sleep.

my co-worker likes to play name that hymn with me. Today he was humming a hymn, but all I could think of were the lyrics of Go Tell Aunt Rhodie
