To build suspense and make you think everything was over and Bolton had won again? If the scene had had Sansa saying, "Well, whatever, Jon, you should have included me. I'm gonna BRB and get Peter Baelish to help us, so no problem, OK?", the suspense would have been far less and the episode would have only been half as…

I've always been the heavy one in my family. My sister is very petite and adorable, my brother was a soldier. It's always been difficult to see myself as as good as them, especially with them telling me that I wasn't. Losing weight has made me feel better about myself. Most importantly, though it has shown me and others…

Currently reading "The Interior Circuit" by Francisco Goldman (a journalist's memoir) "Naked Economics" by Charles Wheelan (an approach to economics for a non-economist) "The Labyrinth of Solitude" by Octavio Paz (super prosy look at Mexican identity) and I just finished "Americanah" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (a novel…

They had to draw the entirety of the opposing army into the center and separate the commanders from their forces in order to flank them. I don't think they knew about the Bolton's shield wall offense or the other attack from the rear, but I actually do think Sansa clued Jon in before she took off and they planned their…

He's definitely already asked for something, and my guess it's to marry Sansa. Not because he's super into her (he is, but that's not the point), but because she's the last known living legitimate heir to Winterfell, and therefore the Wardeness of the North--which basically makes her Queen in the North, seeing as the king…

Well, to quote a much beloved character, recently deceased, "If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention."

I'm a teacher, so I'm at 5:30 every morning. Usually, repeating "I hate my job" (I don't really, though) over and over gets me going. Then angrily battling bad traffic wakes me up more. There's a happy little rush of adrenaline you can get from being side-swiped by a minibus. I spend about 30 minutes after I get to work…

JUST DO IT. No, but seriously, no procrastination nonsense. Start today. Meal prep. Weigh and refrigerate/freeze your meals for the next day/next week. Meticulously count and log your calories. I mean everything, from ketchup to Diet Coke. Start exercising. Not too much at once, but work it into your weekly routine until…

Then you wake up and do the same thing again. Only then do you realize that you're in the 2016 reboot of "Groundhog Day". And you scream and you scream and you scream....but no one notices or cares.

To the gallows with the brazen tart!

"Love's not time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks beneath his bending sickle's compass come. Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, but carried forth, even to the edge of doom."

DYING!!!

Aren't you a dog? You pee everywhere.

I feel like you probably don't need a recipe for that. Just kinda like...remove schmeckel. Place in microwave on high for 4 minutes. Utilize defrost option if desired. Salt and pepper to taste.

That sounds like a very YA author thing to do...."Edward Cullen's eyes burned like the fires of Mordor. Mordor is a fictional place in the JRR Tolkien series Lord of the Rings. It is the place where...."

OK, I'm glad I'm not the only who thinks that. I used to think, "Oh, this gaping plot hole is left here for a reason and it's going to be resolved right now--oh, no, wait, he's describing every knight who is at the joust complete with all titles, nicknames, relatives, and thorough descriptions of their house sigil."

This is just about enough to make me leave planet Earth for good. The spiders are our natural overlords and we should just accept it.

LOL!:smile:

Me too! I'm in 2 book clubs...but I just read the books and don't go to the meetings. Not because I'm a jerk; I'm just busy. Nice to meet you, bookworms!

Happens to me, especially at weddings, when I just eat fistfuls of the stuff. Then when I try to fly away, my stomach explodes.

Mayb there was a mix-up at AP and it was Vin Diesel that got taken by the gator. A sad day, nonetheless.

I knew about both, although I didn't learn about Occam's Razor until I got to college. We weren't big philosophy folks at my high school. I don't think most are, so I can't imagine most adults being familiar with it. Yes, I'm American, with a graduate degree, also a big reader, and I'd rather research things on my own or…

ME TOO, I got really excited because, like every other red blooded American, I love a good quilt.

US! Where are you at?

OK, after reading a few pages, I've finally realized why I've sometimes been getting a weird taste when I drink Diet Pepsi. I just thought I was catching a cold...50 times. Anyway, Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi are pretty much the only sugar free sodas where I live. Even if I hated Diet Pepsi's new taste, I'd probably still…

My boyfriend and I check in with each other. "What did you eat today? Have most of your meals been made up of fresh vegetables? Are you going running today?" He's an incredibly dedicated person and he really inspires me. Also, it's kinda weird, but sometimes when I'm out walking, I repeat my weight over and over to myself…

OK, this isn't TV per se, and I know this might sound ridiculous....but there's this web series that's a modern adaptation of Jane Eyre called "The Autobiography of Jane Eyre" and it's actually really great and moving. Otherwise, I'm loving "The Americans". I'm rewatching the whole series. Sooooo good.

Was that an indirect Parks and Rec quote?! If so, well done! If not, then nice sausages.

Sounds like OP had a few cold ones and got on "Google" last night. See also his post labelled "Are there kittens?"
