on a similar scent/storage issue, test kitchen says you do not have to refrigerate vanilla extract cause its in high alcohol closed bottle -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 16, 12:43 3
- that's what the alcohol is for, I thought. to preserve it. I have never refrigerated any flavor extracts. -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 12:44 2
  - same, although once we realised after a year or two that we should have put that bottle of oyster sauce in the fridge. - zork Jul 16, 12:49 1
    - good luck convincing my mom that...seriously -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 16, 13:02

- And it appears they'll both pay $12.5M less than West Virginia to do it. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 16, 12:48
- sorry, Beaker beat me to it. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 16, 12:44
- who's left in the Big East at this point? DeVry Institute? -- nm - the human tater tot Jul 16, 12:44 2
  - Those eastern seaboard monsters -- Boise State and San Diego State. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 16, 12:45
  - Boise St and St. Mary's School for the Blind -- nm - Strongbad Jul 16, 12:45
So, in addition to a Halo tutor, I'm taking applications for a FF tutor as well - oblique Jul 16, 12:37 25
- 1. Moogles and Chocobos are awesome. 2. Cactuars are really tough to fight. 3. The Tonberry is a mean little dude. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 16, 12:57 2
  - What, no mention of Biggs and Wedge? -- nm - Strongbad Jul 16, 15:10
  - *Chef's Knife* -- nm - David Jul 16, 13:04
- Here's my FF advice of the day - Strongbad Jul 16, 12:50 3
  - I enjoy FJS more than Blood Feud. The keeper/draft cycle is too much for me as I don't keep track of it all - oblique Jul 16, 12:52 2
    - As the current champion of both leagues, I admit that both formats have their advantages. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 16, 13:00
    - I really hope there's a 12-team ST Auction League this year. That will be a hella fun draft. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 16, 12:55
- Speaking of tutoring (since you're my IT tutor) - spamlet Jul 16, 12:41 14
  - Normally you'd hook it up to your PC and share it. That being said, as Mandy noted, many other devices in your house might also have that functionali - oblique Jul 16, 12:48
  - don't you have a time capsule? just use that. -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 12:42 12
    - That's an idea. I'm mainly thinking iTunes library and any movies that I've digitized to DVD. - spamlet Jul 16, 12:44 11
      - I use mine for music. (it makes it easy for my friends to borrow.) I used a dns thingie (tech term) - amanda Jul 16, 12:45 10
        
        What kind of dns thingie? Like a pogoplug? -- nm - spamlet Jul 16, 12:53 1
        
        I think she's just referring to dyndns or similar - oblique Jul 16, 12:54
        
        i just got one on saturday and it didn't take 24 hours for my leechy neighbor to find the signal on her phone and ask if she can go halfs on the DSL - the human tater tot Jul 16, 12:48 7
        
        change the SSID and set it not to broadcast. it removes the awkwardness. (rachel uses mine, but I offered to her.) -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 12:51 6
        
        it's too late. she knows it's mine. i had even changed the ssid to say "c:\virus.exe" but she's too dumb to understand that could be bad - the human tater tot Jul 16, 12:52 5
        
        no no. set it not to broadcast then change the SSID. she can't see it then, so unless you tell her what it's called, it's fine. -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 12:57 4
        
        except she already knows it's there, physically. she'll just keep asking and asking - the human tater tot Jul 16, 13:00 3
        
        tell her you have DSL. it's too slow to share. -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 13:05
        
        write a letter to Hax and ask how to get this neighbor off your back. -- nm - Max Jul 16, 13:02 1
        
        or ask where to bury the body -- nm - zork Jul 16, 13:03
- FF tutor? It all started with a rocketship with inadequate cosmic ray protection..... -- nm - peglegpete Jul 16, 12:40
- i *gave* you a thoroughbread fantasy team -- nm - the human tater tot Jul 16, 12:38 1
  - Alex Smith? Really? -- nm - oblique Jul 16, 12:48
Things like this happen every day in Santa Ana, but this one is classic. -- (link) - MojaveMeg Jul 16, 12:36
bonus prude chat q: should she tell her new BFF that she was one of the Heathers who taunted her in high school? - the human tater tot Jul 16, 12:35 21
- I think the LW wants to knock boots with her - Pippy & her thoughts Jul 16, 12:47
- You Again 2! -- nm - kelly Jul 16, 12:44
- believe me, she knows. if she is happy to let bygones be bygones, let it be. - Andie Jul 16, 12:37 4
  - misleading headline. The letter is asking if she should apologize. I think it would be ok. -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 12:43
  - and be aware that one day, she may well stab you in the back, using your "friendship" as a knife. you probably deserve that. -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 12:39 2
    - *nods* -- nm - znufrii Jul 16, 12:40
    - this -- nm - spamlet Jul 16, 12:39
- Forgive yourself. Move on. Your friend apparently already has. -- nm - oblique Jul 16, 12:36 12
  - either that or she's playing the long con to exact her revenge... -- nm - znufrii Jul 16, 12:39 11
    - TV shows aside, I think it's pretty rare for someone to take revenge that much later. -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 12:44 1
      - "I've seen that movie and, spoiler alert, it ends with a closet full of my suits on fire!" -- nm - znufrii Jul 16, 12:56
    - Is she Klingon? -- nm - amoxy Jul 16, 12:43
    - word. see: "why is mandy friends with her high school on facebook?" -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 12:39 7
      - and why I generally am not. - znufrii Jul 16, 12:43 5
        
        Facebook, ladies and gentlemen! -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 16, 12:48
        
        they all friend me, as though they have no idea, no recollection. it's gross. -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 12:44 3
        
        I largely say "okay" and put them on the restricted list. It's like I don't exist after that. - spamlet Jul 16, 12:45 2
        
        i do this constantly. just this weekend in fact i went and hid a bunch more people. - Andie Jul 16, 12:49 1
        
        a chick from my high school is selling shaklee (?) right now and *won't shut up* about it. I use windex. *mute* -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 13:06
      - going all Carrie on them at the reunion? -- nm - the human tater tot Jul 16, 12:41
- no no no no no -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 16, 12:35
This missed part of the story is this: When is there NOT a 32 mile backup in London? - ty97 Jul 16, 12:33 1
- english food is not that bad, these days its all thai or mediterranian anyway -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 16, 13:08
Bears sign Forte to 4 year contract -- nm - oblique Jul 16, 12:29 3
- I forgot to put : SITWAP: WOOHOO! in the subject - oblique Jul 16, 12:30 2
  - ygm -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 16, 12:31 1
    - Do I have to start thinking about FF already? It's bad enough I suck so bad at Halo -- nm - oblique Jul 16, 12:31
Why do trailers for books exist? -- nm - oblique Jul 16, 12:25 9
- one of the members of my writing group had another member do a trailer for her book when it came out. seemed to help - the human tater tot Jul 16, 12:28 2
  - "The Crown" -- (link) - the human tater tot Jul 16, 12:31 [youtube] 1
    - nice, although it took a couple of reads to realise that vowed was intransitive or an adverb or whatever in this case -- nm - zork Jul 16, 12:39
- Because reading (reviews) is *boring*. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 16, 12:26
- why shouldn't they exist? -- nm - znufrii Jul 16, 12:26 3
  - It's not a trailer because it's not a movie. It's a commercial -- nm - oblique Jul 16, 12:29 2
    - Not if it just words form the book! -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 16, 12:30 1
      - from from from from from from from from from from from from from from. - The Dark Spawn Jul 16, 12:31
- I don't know. Why? *waits for punchline* -- nm - JaxSean Jul 16, 12:25
con carne, ceregon, you spaniards are all the same to me! -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 12:23
minnesota man accidentally destroys a a 40,000 sq. ft. lawn -- (link) - the human tater tot Jul 16, 12:22 1
- Poor ML. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 16, 12:23
Beaker agreed on Mike (spoilers) - amoxy Jul 16, 12:16 1
- Oh and here is a good theory I just heard (spoilers) - amoxy Jul 16, 12:24
it stays fresher in the fridge. doesn't everyone keep their perfume in the fridge? (only my spare bottles. the ones I use are out.) -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 12:15 39
- I've already mistaken the ketchup for Tabisco in a drunken haze - it could only end badly for me - Pippy & her thoughts Jul 16, 12:24 4
  - the best perfume IMO is vanilla extract - zork Jul 16, 12:25 3
    - what about cinnamin? -- nm - Pippy & her thoughts Jul 16, 12:33 2
      - good but v is the one for me - zork Jul 16, 12:41 1
        
        heh -- nm - Pippy & her thoughts Jul 16, 12:45
- I have never heard of this. But then again I don't wear cologne and my wife rarely wore perfume. -- nm - sycor Jul 16, 12:21
- no. -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 12:20
- they are high alcohol, if that were true we'd keep our 15yo single malt or 8yo small batch bourbon in the frig too - zeitgeist Jul 16, 12:20 26
  - but the alcohol is just a carrier for the actual scent ingredients -- nm - zork Jul 16, 12:22
  - It evaporates slower i imagine. -- nm - Andie Jul 16, 12:21 24
    - temperature change changes chemistry, maybe? I have always heard to do this. I have always done this. -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 12:25 21
      - cooler temps slow down all chemical reactions. one of the basic rules of chem. - zork Jul 16, 12:27 2
        
        so my house is like 85 degrees in summer and 65 in winter. the fridge is the most stable place. either two reactions per year, or one ever. -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 12:30 1
        
        the other advantage to keeping them in the fridge is lack of light. -- nm - zork Jul 16, 12:32
      - sounds like solid scientific ground to me -- nm - the human tater tot Jul 16, 12:26 7
        
        I think the reactions are done by the time it hits the shelves. I still have cologne from college that I bet smells the same. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 16, 12:29 6
        
        conversely my Tommy Girl Summertime has gone rank. - Pippy & her thoughts Jul 16, 12:34 4
        
        You would wear Tom Cruise? -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 16, 12:44 3
        
        like a cheap suit - Pippy & her thoughts Jul 16, 12:49 2
        
        check the pockets for money first -- nm - zork Jul 16, 12:50 1
        
        like Xenu would let me keep anything I find - Pippy & her thoughts Jul 16, 12:51
        
        Douchebag *whispers* by Spawn - the human tater tot Jul 16, 12:30
      - i used to keep my nail polish in the fridge when i wore it regularly. it supposedly kept the colours from darkening with time. -- nm - Andie Jul 16, 12:26 2
        
        I have some nail polishes I've owned for years. if they have changed color at all I can't tell. -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 12:26 1
        
        "supposedly." -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 12:28
      - what if cold damages the scents? french perfumes were definitely not designed to be chilled. -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 12:25 6
        
        you can do what you'd like. I'll do what I like. I'm not suggesting my way is correct. obviously I am stupid and smell bad; why would you listen to me -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 12:28 5
        
        because you know what everyone does? -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 12:28 4
        
        when did I say that? "doesn't everyone?" is a question. that's what "?" signals. -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 12:29 3
        
        according to these guys, heat is bad for perfume - so what you are doing is right :) -- (link) - decline Jul 16, 12:34 2
        
        (although it says a regular fridge may be too cold) -- nm - decline Jul 16, 12:35 1
        
        I would think that steady cold would be better than swings. I'm not changing what I do; I've never had a problem. - amanda Jul 16, 12:47
    - if you close it tight it should not evaporate at all. -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 12:23 1
      - true but the other ingredients could break down in time. -- nm - zork Jul 16, 12:24
- Never heard of that one, but we are not big perfume users. - The Dark Spawn Jul 16, 12:17 2
  - this. besides perfumes give me headaches because most people put too much on. - zork Jul 16, 12:23 1
    - *ding* -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 16, 12:24
- i bought my current bottle six years ago - the human tater tot Jul 16, 12:16 1
  - Most people go out sometimes. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 16, 12:18
one ring to rule them all -- nm - the human tater tot Jul 16, 12:13
Wow, it did not take long for that pixie scent to get back into this place. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 16, 12:13 2
- smells like victory -- nm - the human tater tot Jul 16, 12:13 1
  - Huhuhuhuh...Smells like teen spirit -- nm - Butthead Jul 16, 12:15
