I'm in favor of the second one. THE SECOND ONE!

There is so much poison in that to me, but DAMN it looks like it would be so worth the internal bleeding and projectile vomiting that would ensue! ... Wait, maybe not. I'm thinking flax and hazelnut for the flour, with some oat flour for "gooeyness". Maybe some buckwheat flour because...buckwheat cakes were in her mouth, a tear was in her eye.

That sounds delicious! I might actually make that, too. I bet it would be good with pancakes and a side of jalapeno or Hatch chili bacon. It's a thing. They have both at the local HEB / Central Market grocery stores. I can't eat pancakes or bacon, but hey, doesn't mean I can't plan a meal with them!

Oh no! I am sorry to hear you're sick! Peppermint tea and (as you have mentioned later on) ginger are both good for the tummy. When I'm sick (like right now) I have tea with peppermint and fresh sage. Lots of fluids to replace what's been lost. And if you can't stand the tea, at least drink some cold coconut water! Not coconut milk - water. The water has lots of potassium and other trace minerals that your body needs to help keep it from getting dangerously dehydrated.

I saw Blue Man Group in Philly! It was AWESOME! Thanks for this. :D Caffeine is kicking in...food stuff later. -T.

Early for you, maybe. In New Zealand it was already tomorrow. Time is an illusion. Coffee time, doubly so.

You've never seen the films from the 80s with Chevy Chase? National Lampoon's Vacation, European Vacation, and Christmas Vacation? Chevy Chase plays Clark W Grsiwold and leads his family through hilarious situations. First on a cross country trip to a theme park called Wally World, then on a trip they win to Europe, and finally even at home during the holidays when family comes to stay. The wife is played by Beverly D'Angelo but the kids are different actors each time.

The first one is the best though European Vacation has its moments, and I can't help but love Christmas Vacation but the first one is the classic. Vegas vacation is a recommended skip.

No. The bison horns ARE the grinder! Sheesh. Like y'all ain't never been to Texas. It's right across the street.

I find that degrees or ANY sort are a poor substitute to real intelligence and wisdom. I have met some TREMENDOUSLY stupid doctors out there.

Building inspectors. Sheesh....


 * }

{| style="width: 100%;"

It's a scary thought, but in a lot of instances, you can't count on just building inspectors to catch mistakes. Building inspectors are basically the last ditch effort to catch construction errors at the end of the process, and to hold the contractors accountable for building according to the design. The design portion of the process is where (hopefully) you have good people to catch major errors before they're implemented.

It was a difficult lesson to learn that harsh criticism isn't necessarily a personal attack, especially since most architecture students are overachievers who are used to being praised for just about everything they did in high school. Now that I'm actually working, I find that harsh criticism makes it easier to remember the things that I've neglected to consider in the past. Some of my favorite clients are the ones who aren't afraid to tell me I'm an idiot (when deserved). Of course, then the remainder of my pride makes me try to prove that I'm not, but that's just part of the fun. ^_^

Yeah, I had the pleasure of learning from Rob Livesey one year. He's the former dean of the school and probably the sharpest architectural knife in the drawer I've ever met. We got to pick who we wanted for spring and he said something about the Union redesign. I thought, that sounds like fun! Realized later that he's one of the harshest teachers at the school. I spent the entire quarter trying desperately not to fail. For every thing I did right, I did ten things wrong. For every great idea I had, I screwed it up with a hundred ancillary things I didn't think about. He hit me for everything from the placement of my loading dock (and yeah, he told us we needed a loading dock and what we needed for it) to how light was getting into the important spaces. I was just struggling to get out of that class with a D. Final review came up, and I got glowing praise from everyone on the panel, including Rob, and got an A in his studio. I literally want to cry thinking about it now, because I have a tremendous amount of respect for the man to know he thought so highly of my work in his class. He just couldn't tell me that, there was a lot wrong in my project right down to the wire. He needed to be brutal, to teach me to look at everything all at once and to understand the entire project as a whole, every single little thing I was doing I had to weigh and understand. Still probably one of the proudest moments of my life, that A.

I'm starting to see where Carbine got it's inspiration for the Exiles.

Who cares what others think? TonySnark is hilarious. Too much seriousness is bad for you. He can be my friend! :D In Aion our legion leader made this comment about how everyone needed serious names and not dumb names like "Hamburger." So, sure thing on launch day one couple, two of the best in the guild, rolled up as Bratwurst and Pickle. Lol.... As for architect I love making furniture. But, I'm terrible at figuring out unique things like ArkQ's arcade game or Jacosta's throne. I'm trying to be more creative with Reezza's house. The best I've done is Yola's water cooler. haha. Also being an architect and gathering all the mats yourself makes decorating much cheaper.

I'm just hoping they didn't package it with Methylprednisolone or something. "Where's that patients IV?" Shipping. "Why?!" We ran out of packing peanuts.

The request has been made lots of times. I agree, and I hope they implement it whenever they get around to expanding the housing system. They have said that they're working on allowing us to change the landscape (hooray for having snow on the ground!), so hopefully this'll be included with that.

One of the devs hinted around incoming neighborhoods or possibly guild housing that would be significantly larger than our individual plots. It was in one of the threads asking them to increase the item limits, and (s)he was trying to explain why they decided to start with such a relatively low number for character houses.
