I didn't, because the Catholic instruction I received made it clear you weren't supposed to ask questions just obey, and I ask a ton of questions.

As a tween I wanted to convert to Judaism because it seemed like discussion was more welcome. My mother told me that was not an option.

It depends, I think. If he had ever read or heard about Edward Topsell's the History of Four-Footed Beasts and Serpents (1658), he might have seen what Topsell called the allocamelus (p78). He thought this creature was the offspring of a camel and a mule.

I remember my mother didn't let me watch it (she thought it was rude) so I had to read my magazine to keep up. DA was my whole connection to most of TV, movies, and comics aimed at kids, since most of them fell under my mother's idea of "rude."

Lore is my favorite thing about baseball! I really enjoyed listening to baseball on the radio as a kid because the announcers had time to explain and contextualize things. I hope you find a team to root for!

Yes, but also they won't pay you in anything but "exposure." So, not worth anyone's time, I would think.

I give when I have a little because all we have is each other.

I hope they get one moment of peace. Fixing an immediate need usually doesn't solve the bigger issues (there is always the next round of bullshit), but one little moment knowing this thing at least is handled, I hope they get that.

I'm glad this helps!

Also, I think this is the plot of movie Memento (2000)?

I don't know if this helps, but the Mississippi state department of health has a free cookbook called Freedom For Life. You can find it here.

I wanted to take theater tech. Theater tech got to run the light and sound boards (also sit on the vending machine to run the spotlight). Wear black and a headset and make sure everything ran right? Heaven. I acted, danced, sang, played in orchestra, but couldn't do tech b/c I took the AP track.

Moonlighting. It sets the tone for the show really well. Silly mystery, zippy wordplay, and two smartasses who have romantic tension which comes out as slap, slap, kiss. You'll know pretty quick if you're into it or not (I super was).

Larger, obviously this hobby would benefit from me living in a -larger- place. With a room for sewing (not a tiny desk in the corner of the dining room) and a giant table. I think though, I am going to figure it out because this hobby makes the artistic part of my brain very happy and I need that.
