Re: Confessions of a 20-something mother

I feel kind of lost on pweb right now. Like I want to post, but I'm so out of touch, it's hard.

Re: Yes, I know Google is my friend, but I'd rather ask you.

This might be a bit random, but what is UP with those dark blue Christmas lights? They're like... anti-lights. I can sort of see why it's not worth the effort to replace them in a string of multi-coloured lights, but some people buy whole strings of just the dark blue! I don't get it, and I don't ev...

Re: Guilty Pleasures and Irrational Irritations

This is really petty, but it's bugging me. The Garfield comic for June 29, 1987 has Garfield lamenting that it's the "longest Monday". Jim Davis, why could you not have run that strip a week earlier, for the solstice?! The Monday previous was, in fact, THE LONGEST MONDAY OF THE YEAR. :bash:

Re: The Smells in My Kitchen

Thanks again, guys. :) It took a couple hours but it could have gone worse. Getting the colour gradient on the icing was the most time-consuming bit - the red I had was super strong, and the green was weaksauce (his belly was as dark as I ever managed to get it), so it took a lot of trial and error....

Well, I was convinced SOMEthing was going to go wrong, but I didn't smudge it or drop it or give anyone food poisoning (that I know of). It turned out almost exactly how I wanted it, and if I'd do the edges differently next time, no one else seemed to notice or care. http://img.photobucket.com/album...
