I used to love watching my grandad fuel his Aga with coal every morning. And I loved how warm it was near the Aga, and the way the dogs would sleep in front of it for warmth.

Who could justify the expense of an Aga these days?

I want to go outside, but I quickly get bored.

I want to sit in my room and be totally absorbed in something I enjoy, but then I feel like I'm wasting time not being outside while the weather's nice.

Really bad thunderstorm in the area. Something electrical went pop out back and a power line was struck across the street. Sparks and everything. Possibly severed.

s**t. :x I'm noticing rather too much of that kind of thing lately. Could be that certain bullies are taking advantage of the recent loss of a good moderator which is bound to make it harder for the remaining mods to patrol the site effectively. Still, I would think it's mostly a matter of bringing the situation to the mod's attention via a link and a brief description of what you feel has happened. Good luck. Everybody's got the right to fly off the handle once in a while, as long as they do the decent thing and apologise as soon as they calm down, but it runs deeper than that with some of them, and frankly I don't think I've ever seen anybody on WP apologise for aggression against other members.

I wonder what the minimal amount of chews per mouthful of food is acceptable for good digestion

How do we know we're not related to people on a different world in a different universe

126,000. That's for the average male. They don't know what it is for women because it's no longer socially acceptable to burn them in order to find out.

This is the first Easter of my life that I'm not visiting family. My mom and aunt were down at my grandparents' house a couple days ago trying to convince them that they're too old to be living in that house, and that didn't go well, so now I'm not comfortable talking to them for a while. I don't really mind not visiting family but the weather here is s**tty so I'll probably just sit and do nothing today. *sighhhh*

Well that's the direct, "gold standard" method. I suppose the spoilsports nowadays just do a few sums.
