    Fear not. For while the colours may match aspects of Amidus's personality, the flowers are all wrong. I will have to delve deep into the language of flowers to come up with something, but I can assure you that orchids are just unsuitable.

    That's not good at all. I do hope you get better soon.

    In related news; I am also sick. I have caught Mynxae's tonsillitis, and if I end up in hospital, I'm not going to buy him any food for an as yet undetermined period of time.
    So... Goodnight everyone. I'm going to go take some antibiotics and I'll see you all tomorrow in the new thread.
    If I had to choose, I'd go to NZ.

    Thank you!

    Ah, once again, a dilemma! To end up blushing due to this lovely gesture, or shiver as I dislike fireworks! Well, I guess I'll like the gesture as it's just a photo.

    Oh, he has his sweet side too! *ruffles Amipoodle's hair*

    I'm feeling much better already, sort of. But, wah! You should get better! I had horrible tonsillitis last year, well, didn't have to go to hospital due to that but nearly had to because they gave me penicillin... Guess how we found out I'm allergic to penicillin...


    ISORN: I don't seem to have any contagious, so my wee nephew came over anyway! I won't be the one sleeping in the same room with him though, just to be cautious... So my mum will have to enjoy the night if he decides to rebel.

    My nephew likes to repeat my name a lot.

    They're either really lazy teens, or they have never cooked for themselves before.

    I know I've cooked for myself and the rest of my family. I've heated up Clam Chowder, cooked Kraft Mac and Cheese (it took a few times to get it right. At one point I accidentally made Mush and Cheese ). And I actually heated up some Calzones with the oven. It was my first time working with the oven, and yet the Calzones came out perfectly. So I know how to use the stove, oven, and the microwave (but then again just about anybody can operate a microwave )

    My sister has infact cooked this stuff before. She knew better and was specifically asked to not bother me for food, and she did this even after I gave her, from MY OWN STORE OF FOOD, out of the goodness of my heart, some pepperoni sticks.

    @Finn: Yay! I'm glad you're feeling better, and have an adorable nephew

    I have never once made myself a Kraft dinner, but that is because I have never heard of them before. I'd probably need someone to do it for me.

    When people say "Kraft dinner," they mean "prepackaged macaroni and cheese." There are very simple instructions on the box.

    It's prepackaged macaroni, as said. It's actually really tasty.

    Right, sorry. I just woke up after going to bed at like 2ish

    I think I know why that happens, but I'm more mystified by the fact that you would do that. But then you have mummy fingers so at this point I should expect it.

    It's not like I keep an eyeball in a jar and randomly labeled it "Left eye."

    ...I should do that.

    Does anyone have any spare eyeballs?

    Sometimes I wish you could just buy the powdered cheese. If you buy a Kraft box and just use the powdered cheese to make creamy sauce over potatoes there is leftover quick cook macaroni that sits there forever because it doesn't go with any other kind of sauce.

    And I must admit, I do like that idea of having some of it set uncut...

    I think those only happen near the areas with mines. I did not see any markets like that before I came to California. Here there are gem markets. I do not count the jewelry district in LA since that is a big enough market that it brings in gems from everywhere.

    Bad news about the sickness. It is his turn for us to tell him to take care of you because we are too far away to do it ourselves.

    Hello friends, I urge you to check out the ransomeware thread I posted a bit ago, especially if you are computer literate. Because I seriously need some help and all I know a little technical side of computers could probably fit on a Floppy-Disk.

    The standard rules are, copy all the information from the opening post, add the last thread to the list of previous threads, give it a title if you want (it's more commen to give a fancy title thten not). You can't make another thread for 30 threads. Post in the thread that you have made a thread, involving link (usually in big letters).

    2) add a link to the first post of this one to the long list of previous RB threads.

    Also, long titles are appreciated (by some of us), but not required.

    I thought the rules said 50 threads. Other wise I'd have gone and made a new one by now.

    But in Stars, when he's geeking out over the stars being predictable and he's so OCD and it's so funny and adorable.

    I think I've gone mad.
    Awesome! I know...a little, about Les Mis. Javert is a badass and a REALLY good example of how a Stick Up His Ass Paladin will end up if they are characterized correctly.

    Okay almost ready, the only question I have is what is the quickest way to make the list of previous Random Banters? I can copy?paste just fine but I don't think that makes links. What is the easiest way for me to make all those links? 196 of them?

    And no, no travelling gemstone shows either...

    And I must admit, I do like that idea of having some of it set uncut...
    Yeah. It should probably be a small gem, but a rough gemstone in the right setting would probably be quite admirable indeed.

    From an environmental and large-scale societal perspective: Don't. Never take antibiotics unless prescribed such, and if you ever start an antibiotics treatment, you must fulfill it. Multidrug-resistant bacteria is a large enough problem as it is, and the main cause is by far the rampant overuse of antibiotics.

    What you described earlier seemed to me to be akin to "kick the cat" syndrome, which is a far larger and more ubiquitous thing than sexism. And you get called on it a lot less often, at least in SE Minnesota.
    Crotchety Old Man never mixes well with discussions of the baser elements of humanity, I find. The closest you can really get is a Sam Vimes, and, well, that's Sam Vimes.

    I am indeed aware that the dark side of human nature applies to more than just sexism. Sexism, however, has tendrils in many aspects of our darker nature.

    He is a massive badass, and also a huge dork. I find it hilarious.

    Also, I want to introduce him to Prince Zuko. It would be ****ing hilarious.

    Quote the first post of this thread, it'll take the links with it, put it in a new thread and remove the quote tags.

    Sam Vimes is not crotchety, he is a massive cynic.

    I love Javert! I was so sad he felt that was the only way out. I especially liked hopes his suicide was a dark reprise of Val Jean's earlier revelation.

    Teddy has boobies!


    One of the reasons I avoid any sort of medication unless it's been prescribed to me. (also, stubborn pride, but that's a different issue ).
