| I don't know if anyone else used the extension Readability for busy web pages that have too much contrast or are hard to read, but it's really important for me .. it's been discontinued. I'm on Chrome, and the extension they recommend is the new Mercury reader but it doesn't appear you can change th... |

I think it really ... |

| I've met Brian and he's very sweet. At their show? From what I've read on the Internet he seems to treat his fans very well. I'm kicking myself for not seeing them when they came to my city in October. not at a show, at a bar after hours, so not in the context of being a fan of the band (although I... |

I think it's an aspie anxiety / control thing. things change and you don't know why and you can't predict and you don't know if you've done something wrong. |

| It's a mystical way of saying you can't have it both ways. Once you choose, it's over. If you eat your cake, it's gone; you can't have it anymore. so it's punitive? you've eaten your cake and so you lose: the cake is gone. Of course it's gone! it's there for eating.
