I know you were all concerned, but it appears my rosemary plant has survived the transition indoors. - Reagen Oct 31, 15:25 3
- yay! it grows into hedges around here. except in my yard. rosemary hates my yard for some reason. it makes me sad. -- nm - skare Oct 31, 15:27
- color me impressed - I never seem to have luck with them - and therefore wind up buying it fresh in the store when I need/want it - pricey too -- nm - JenBro Oct 31, 15:26 1
  - reagen will send you some. 5% off -- nm - poxie Oct 31, 15:28

        yes. I'm actively uninterested in her work. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:15 4
        
        How does that work? You go to her concert and stand in the front row with your back to the stage? -- nm - Reagen Oct 31, 15:17 3
        
        ...and knit. -- nm - this is my costume Oct 31, 15:28 1

    - See, Kim Pine? SEE??? -- nm - David Oct 31, 15:24

  - Like, I want a real dinner but am always at a loss how to go about it. -- nm - ty97 Oct 31, 15:10 17
    - [deleted]
    - you've made a thanksgiving dinner. a small scale dinner is totaly easy. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:15
    - what's so overwhelming about it? - skare Oct 31, 15:14 14
      - I think "hey I should make dinner! Yeah, I want to make dinner! Cool, I'm going to make dinner!" - ty97 Oct 31, 15:16 13
        
        do the pasta thing Jack mentioned - but instead of buying a jar sauce - get the new philadelphia cream cheese sauce thingy - you just cut up chicken & - JenBro Oct 31, 15:22 4
        
        those are far too rich for my tastes. -- nm - this is my costume Oct 31, 15:27 3
        
        I have only tried the garlic one - and thinned it out with a dash of white wine actually because it was too thick for my liking -- nm - JenBro Oct 31, 15:28 2
        
        that's a good idea, will remember for next time. -- nm - this is my costume Oct 31, 15:28 1
        
        also - I haven't tried it yet - but apparently swanson has little packets of stock now that you can also add in - I'm going to try them out too. - JenBro Oct 31, 15:30
        
        or! when you think of something that sounds good, poll us. we'll let you know if it's easy (or not) to whip up. -- nm - skare Oct 31, 15:20
        
        you need to plan ahead. think of a couple of easy meals you want to make during the week. look up the recipes, make your list. *then* go shopping. -- nm - skare Oct 31, 15:17 1

        This is what I should do. I think I'm afraid that if the calories aren't on the box, I might get it wrong. - ty97 Oct 31, 15:24 2
        
        Oh, there are apps on the web that let you put in all of the ingredients, divide by portions, and voila. - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:25 1
        
        and do you already have a food scale? it's easy to estimate the calories in fresh food if you use one. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:26
        
        ok, think of a dinner you would like to eat. right now. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:16
- Applesauce, Rice and a few saltine crackers. -- nm - Bacon Oct 31, 15:09 4

- #OccupyDatAss -- nm - poxie Oct 31, 15:11
- I know people watch her show, but I thought it was in train wreck style. She actually has fans? - ty97 Oct 31, 15:09 9
  - i've only heard them called "fans" when the word is coming out of their own mouths -- nm - skare Oct 31, 15:11 8
    - (the kardashians' mouths, that is) -- nm - skare Oct 31, 15:12 7
      - well, in the community of people interested in makeup, a lot of people are interested in Kim. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:17 6
        
        there's a community of people interested in makeup? -- nm - skare Oct 31, 15:19 5
        
        yes. Just like fashionistas. They are bloggers and youtubers. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:20 2
        
        huh. makeup blogger. who knew. -- nm - skare Oct 31, 15:21 1
        
        I occasionally check them out, and I believe b follows them somewhat. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:22
        
        I think they are called women. But I can't be sure - Remlik Oct 31, 15:20 1

- oh man. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:08

  - "We'll be gathering in front of the Dash store in Soho today at 4:15 to hold a vigil for the marriage of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humpreys" -- nm - Remlik Oct 31, 15:07 5
    - okay, i was feeling like a total loser for knowing as much about the kardashians as i do. this makes me feel better. and also weep a little. -- nm - skare Oct 31, 15:09
    - PHOTOS! -- (link) - Remlik Oct 31, 15:09 3
      - okay, the dude with the guitar seals it. they're doing this in a totally ironic way, right? -- nm - skare Oct 31, 15:10 2
        
        they all look like they're hamming for the camera. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:13
        
        I believe so. At least I hope. -- nm - Remlik Oct 31, 15:11
NMB Ty - there's some kind of creamed corn casserole that was making the rounds a year or so ago that's actually BETTER if you make it the night - JenBro Oct 31, 15:05 3
- i tried a corn pudding for t-day a couple of years ago. it was... decent, but not sure i would go to the effort again. -- nm - skare Oct 31, 15:22 1
  - this was really good ... and it's not like - creamed corn in a can - it's just the name of it - IIRC -- nm - JenBro Oct 31, 15:33
- .... and throw it away before dinnertime? - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:19
Rain for trick or treating -- nm - Brian Oct 31, 15:03

MH PSA & Poll - Trick or Treat event ending 11/3 - how'd everyone do with their haul? - JenBro Oct 31, 15:01 7
- The Soul Harvester is even worse than last year's Cackle Lantern. -- nm - nubby Oct 31, 15:04 1
  - I didn't even bother crafting it, since Reapers is better. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 31, 15:05
- Sold a skin at 1.3M before the market dropped, I'm happy. - Strongbad Oct 31, 15:04 4
  - "Homer! How many times I gotta tell you? You sell your opumpkin futures before Hallowe'en! Before!" -- nm - Bloger Blore Oct 31, 15:07
  - so I will need more stones for another trap besides this one? Reapers Perch must be in the new areas I can't hunt in yet - nice gold on the trap skin -- nm - JenBro Oct 31, 15:06 2
    - You get Reapers BP once you catch zurreal, which is at the end of the library (newest zone) - Strongbad Oct 31, 15:08 1
      - ok cool - I'll spend extra time in Furoma then amassing the onxy balls I need - guess I'd better get some token boxes :) -- nm - JenBro Oct 31, 15:34
ooooh. ~~ooOooh~~. oooooooh. -- nm - The Great Halloween Turtle Oct 31, 15:01
LIR: I like how Anonymous has suddenly become this moral crusade group in the media's eyes. - colin Oct 31, 15:00
STIS: Is there an expert here on HR issues (short-term disability, etc.?) - Strongbad Oct 31, 14:57 16
- [deleted] 7
  - FL, small private -- nm - Strongbad Oct 31, 15:17 6
    - how many employees at the company? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 31, 15:24 5
      - I'd guess in the 250 range. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 31, 15:26 4
        
        only about 20-30 fulltime, the rest on a part-time (seasonal) basis -- nm - Strongbad Oct 31, 15:27
        
        then the company would be required to follow the family medical leave act (it has to have 50 employees to be required to). -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 31, 15:27 2
        
        thanks -- nm - Strongbad Oct 31, 15:27 1
        
        that is the basic rule of thumb, but there are loopholes. - tRuMaN Oct 31, 15:29
- I would say lawsuit. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:07 6
  - Is there anything she should be doing beforehand -- nm - Strongbad Oct 31, 15:08 5
    - hmmmm. I would do some research first. Apparently she needs to qualify for FLMA to ensure she will not be fired. - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:11 3
      - Fired. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 31, 15:18 2
        
        and thx for the link -- nm - Strongbad Oct 31, 15:18 1
        
        IMO it would be worth consulting an attorney. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:20
    - sfek: beforehand? anything to get all her ducks in a row? -- nm - Strongbad Oct 31, 15:09
- My gf was on it and they can't fire you. I believe that would fall under wrongful termination. - Krusty Oct 31, 15:03
damn you, conditional formatting! - this is my costume Oct 31, 14:54 8
- also, quick excel question - this is my costume Oct 31, 14:57 7
  - 7 -- Choose may be a better option for you. -- nm - Fuzzy (mobile) Oct 31, 15:04 2
    - not familiar with CHOOSE. here's what I ended up with - this is my costume Oct 31, 15:07 1
      - which mean only 10% of my lines are missing data points. - this is my costume Oct 31, 15:09
  - according to one site, seven -- nm - Beryllium Oct 31, 15:01
  - 64,000,000 - colin Oct 31, 15:00 2
    - as long as its a number greater than or equal to 3 I should be okay - this is my costume Oct 31, 15:02 1
      - and, it worked -- nm - this is my costume Oct 31, 15:05
Speaking of jeans, who do I have to kill to get 36x36 as a more common size? -- nm - Reagen Oct 31, 14:42 11
- someone who is a size 36X36, I'd say. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:08 1
  - it's really only a temporary solution. -- nm - Reagen Oct 31, 15:21
- you square. -- nm - colin Oct 31, 15:01 1
  - really, I'm lucky I'm as proportional as I am. If I had the same torso/leg ratio as my shorter brother, I'd be like a 36x40. -- nm - Reagen Oct 31, 15:23
- why not talk to a store manager about getting some in? -- nm - peglegpete Oct 31, 14:57
- I have a tough time finding 36x34 -- nm - Remlik Oct 31, 14:53 1
  - I generally have to settle for this (Old Navy has a decent amount of them) -- nm - Reagen Oct 31, 14:55
- I don't think killing will help. Ent procreation campaigns might. -- nm - ty97 Oct 31, 14:47
- christian bale? (weird but a bunch of notoriously skinny supermodel names came up when I tried to google. kate moss? no way) -- nm - is it zeit for a geist? Oct 31, 14:47
- *hides* -- nm - this is my costume Oct 31, 14:43 1
  - You should be safe - you probably don't have enough skin to make a 36x36 pair of jeans from -- nm - Bloger Blore Oct 31, 15:05
trick or treat -- nm - poxie Oct 31, 14:41 6
- You must love tonight - eag Oct 31, 14:51 4
  - i've never been - poxie Oct 31, 14:52 3
    - Im thinking of like the traffic and congestion and the noise in the area - eag Oct 31, 14:54 2
      - It's fricking insane is what it is - con_carne Oct 31, 15:02
      - i'm on the very eastern edge of weho. i don't hear anything - poxie Oct 31, 14:55
- dont smell pixie's feet. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 31, 14:47
