| I have a very simple problem with weed. My neighbours downstairs sell and smoke the stuff every day. It comes thru the air vents. It comes out their door and thru the hall and into my apartment, under the door. I can't open windows to air my place out because it is (or was) winter (40 below zero). A... |

| I think the perception depends on a lot of things. It depends on how a person was raised. On when/where/who they've seen the same thing on before - and how that person behaved or treated them. It is moderated by the clothes/makeup/etc that accompanies it. And so on. And of course, it depends how the... |

Try using big flat wood spatulas to hold the meat. Use them like pinchers or tongs.
Don't use metal or hard plastic tools, because you will still "feel" the texture of the meat with metal or hard plastic.
I find using plastic gloves makes meat feel very slimy, even when it is not. |

Sometimes it's fun to have the theatre-goers react all together. It's one thing you don't get watching them at home. But there's no excuse for talking OVER the... |

I'm a landmarks person too.
So often I've been asked by passers by "where's this street" and I have no idea.
I ask them what building they want, and POOF, I know exactly what to tell them. |

| I've always had a good sense of direction - as long as I'm on foot and outside. As soon as I'm indoors (like a shopping mall) I find it much harder to orient myself, and figuring or remembering how to get somewhere requires a great deal of thought. More than once I've had to exit a building just to ... |
