  • Hi! This is a good conversation to read, lots of topics covered. I eat meat sometimes but I want to keep it a rare thing. I too feel pretty "fuck you" about places with two boring vegetarian options. Especially if the vegetarian option is bread-ba…
  • They keep talking about snow up here but we haven't seen any yet. WHY? We are North of you guys and it was cold enough, we just didn't have any clouds in the sky. STILL WHY? When it snows I like to put on my awesome snow clothes and go and bug pe…

  • I don't know where the line between hoarder and "normal" is, but I think actually using the stuff you own seems like a safe place to draw the line. Then again, there is "collecting" which is a socially accepted version of "hoarding". Many of the r…

  • I am more of a wool blanket man, but I live in quilt town. My mother-in-law makes so many quilts that works-of-art end up in the grass outside with melting popsicles and spitting up babies rolling around in them like it's no big whoop. I love that. …

  • I think buying stuff is very rewarding when you are fixing a problem, but most often than not I find myself chasing a feeling. And it doesn't have to be that fancy. I can put sentimental value behind anything really. If I am bummed out I can feel…

  • Classic tour vibe indeed! Long lost are the days of lying around for hours, eating french fries on people's porch. It's the age of quick trip, hotels and fast returns to pets, babies, and jobs.
  • Hey! Who's coming? UncleShoes, are you going to be there this year? We have room now, write to me if you need a place to stay. I wish Gary was coming. A friend is going to need a ride back from Anacortes to Portland, but I think he's hoping to st…
  • It's called "icy blue". It looks nice at night with a lamp, looks nice when it's grey out and especially amazing when it's sunny. In addition to the walls being that color we have a door that is just a little darker shade of blue. There is a good c…
  • I think using color is about light, but it's also about how big your walls are, how high your ceiling is, what the floors are covered with and how much stuff you have in a room. I'd say I prefer "true, bold colors" to pales ones in general. A lot o…
  • I am starting to feel like I only show up around here to promote these events... I am so sorry you guys! I have an internet addiction I have been taking care of. We are so into you all and are always so touched when you show up at those things. So, …
  • It is a great post, I agree. This weekend I made a cool lady feel better by sharing some Regarding knowledge with her. Quoting that really epic Advice rant about baby-boomers. I think it did a lot of good.

  • Someone I know who goes by the name of "Juice" is a bass player in this band.
  • OH! Thanks guys! I am ever glad I snooped the internet today (I am trying to snoop the internet way, way less). I had been under the impression that only two people knew of my birth (husband and mother in law). Now I am eating "No Kids" style stea…
  • Gary is such a neat guy. So inquisitive!
  • I am so impressed, Mikey! I love reading the comments when I read the news. I find it does me some good to be faced with the thought processes of idiots. Good ideas for jokes, you know? What is the French news site? I want to read!
  • I am a professional crazy and I have some tips on how to make it all better. When I am bothered by my own crazy energy I like going on brisk walks to tire myself. Then after that meditating, or reading, or a bath, or listening to Glenn Gould with t…

  • THANK YOU EVERYONE! There was so much reliance on others on my part that although I appreciate the compliments and thank yous, they sort of bounce off of me. This thing wouldn't have happened if I had truly done it all on my own. People cooked, peop…
  • Whoa! Talk about taking care of making business!
  • ACCOMMODATIONS: For the few people who have talked about "hoteling" or "moteling" it, I was just browsing the pages of the Anaco Inn (www.anacoinn.com) and Lake Campbell Lodging (www.lakecampbelllodging.com) out of curiosity, it seems like both pla…
  • I don't know that band/song and I don't have Facebook but every morning I wake up to at least a couple emails which are invitations to things I am not even remotely interested in happening in cities I was in for three seconds, or have never even bee…

  • This is just a reminder to buy your pass if you haven't yet. March is a weird time to have a festival, but Anacortes has been so nice and sunny, balmy even lately. It's a great excuse to go on a quick road trip, we think. The exhibition looks great…
  • !!!!!!!!! LOOSE_THREAD! OMG! You've really outdone yourself. It IS like a perfume commercial, but so amazingly drony.
  • Mahan makes my day! Matthew, we will be seeing each other very soon.
  • If you really are coming (and are not one of the artists in the exhibit or a performer) I beg you to buy a pass a.s.a.p. so I can have a warm feeling in my heart before I leave on my book tour. love, Phon-gee-ev
  • Hap - py! Birth - day !
  • @YT: Where did I say people who vote for Republicans are evil? I don't even believe in evil! And while in another thread I made a comment about Romney being evil, I was referring to his youthful gay-bashing and treatment of dogs, which I think is fa…
  • I admit that I was being too intense in my previous posts. I may be wrong when I say these are darker times. It seems like the argument now is that we are better off than we were 200 years ago, and when I think "darker times" I mean it more in the "…
  • @Bill: Fair enough. I was being over the top with the comment about your Dad. Sorry to be using such strong harsh words involving body parts. It was unnecessary. Overall my comments were meant to communicate that I feel the amount of time and effor…
  • @Bill: I still totally disagree with you, but that's ok. I am not sure who said that all Republicans were evil selfish monsters, but I didn't. What I said is that it's awful to discover that people whom I find to be kind and intelligent every other …
  • My dunkers recipe: -Two pieces of GF brown rice and almond bread slightly toasted. -Spread Marmite on one toast, Grainy mustard on the other. -Put thinly sliced tomato slices on mustard and goat cheddar on Marmite. -Slam the two pieces of bread toge…
