MZ, I know. It's amazing we've lasted this long! I keep trying to go because I am generally an open minded person esp. when it comes to art stuff, but there have been times where I've literally told Bill Mc that I'm going to go for a 60 minute wal…
Did everyone love the Harry Smith Seance? It was WAY TOO MUCH (or something) for me. But I'm finding that most experimental films I've seen that last longer than 10 minutes are just too much for me. It turns out I am an experimental film wimp of …
Thank you! Went to fabric depot last night and was overwhelmed with my choices!
One thing I can't wrap my head around: why does it cost more to buy fabric to make curtains than it costs to buy actual, already-made curtains!? I don't get it.
Fingers crossed for you, Alex. The place you made an offer on looks unbelievably amazing (I walk past all the time and think, "Ooh, I'd like to live there.").
I'm surprised it's listed for such a reasonable amount! Good luck!
Someone! Quick! Buy this place! Look at that locale. Look at that eating nook. Under 300k.

Yeah, but you don't live in just any condo, Freddy. Yours is kinda special.
For the record, I definitely don't hate condos. Financially/investment-wise, they're just not as sure of a thing as houses. And because I've paid such ridiculously low ren…
Yeah, but that's all the studios will fund/are funding, anyway! I would think that with the kickstarter route, other films/ideas (the ones that are good for culture) would actually have a stronger chance of becoming a reality. At least little subcul…
"Both of those movies are actually going to be produced through traditional Hollywood Studios but instead of getting financed by the studios or by individual rich people they have turned to the fans. It's kinda like the studios getting their cake an…
Of course kickstarter is still just people buying shit. But it provides a different way for people to access/promote shit. Same with Etsy. It's just a platform.
I still don't think I understand why people suddenly hate it. So don't buy the dumb t…
I am a dummy - why is this so depressing? I mean, sure, dumb video, but aren't the backers just buying some cheese that looks/sounds interesting and getting that cheese? What's wrong with it?
Alex - even though condos are not a good idea overall, that one looks solid. It's got good storage, which is so rare and important. Plus, it looks like there aren't too many units in the building (less bothersome home owner's association stuff).
Wanda - maybe out of your price range, but look at this lot! (And take away some of the awful updates the owners have made and you've got a stunning place...)

Oh wow. There is (of course) so much good stuff out there on dental education! I better read some of it before I continue talking out my ass.
Here's one on the "access" point I was trying to make...
The impact of universal access to dental care …
Bravo to Dr. WH and Wanda, who both have made very convincing arguments! Now I want to fluoridate AND do better than fluoridate!
However, at the risk of slipping back into paternalistic mode, Dr. WH, I'd love for you to elaborate on our alternativ…
Wait wait wait. Alex! 13th and Ash? Was it the same building as the original condo I was looking at? (Impossible question for you to answer, I know). That place rocked my world.
So, regardless of whether you're curious or not, I'm going to tell y…
