I love thanksgiving goodies and fixins filtering into the home and that means pie season is almost upon us. HOORAY!!!!
Re: Things that I love
I don't know much about the topic, other than what i read in magazines, but apparently several games in many casinos in Europe and the US had enough bias for a certain family to exploit them and make a lot of money. Slowly that family was banned from more and more casinos, and eventually the casinos banned the use of computers to analyze the games statistics.Unless the wheel has a significant bias or you're unfamiliar with the variations you're playing, I don't know why not.

My source is obviously sketchy though, lol.
In any case, the easier solution is being careful during the manufacturing of the game devices to reduce the bias to a non-profitable margin.

Asparagus. Yummy, healthy, tastes good with mustard sauce, easy to make, and Atty loves it, too.

I love this time of year: pomegranates and oranges! My finals week just got 10 times more manageable because I have such deliciousness at my disposal.
I used to hate gravity because it would not let me fly. Now I realize it is gravity that lets me stand.

Even though she's far away, I love that I can count on my oldest in-person friend to always be there and wanting to hear from me.
I also love hearing from her and about her life; she's hilarious and the only person alive I trust enough to discuss poop with.

Oh, how I love you, Nomi. As soon as my hours slow down a bit, I should have time for a phone call. People have been sick, are moving, and off doing special work projects and I've been covering for them. I think after this week things should be back to normal. I've missed you, so we'll have to make it happen even if not.

Re: Things that I love
Yes, but make sure you eat them right or you'll be very horrified that anyone recommended them. Basically, unlike most other citrus, the skin is the yummy part. So you eat them whole, and have to keep chewing to get the sweetness to come out and overpower the initial intense squirt of sourness. If you just bite them and spit out the skins it'll be essentially like sucking a lemon. Also, make sure you get nice firm ones because squishy ones just aren't as satisfying, and if you're nervous, start with a small one, because they have a higher surface-area to volume ratio and therefore a higher sweet-part to sour-part ratio.I've actually never had a kumquat.

Re: Things that I love
I can attest to the flesh tasting TERRIBLE. No one ever told me the skins were edible (didn't know that until just now!) so I didn't bother with it. I might be too scarred to try again, though...

well I have snozzed and lost
I'm pushing through
I'll disregard the cost

I'll slug it out
I'm sick of waiting

hear the bells are

Ah. The feeling of being all done with new place paperwork and staff day stuff and being kind of caught up on regular work stuff and having secret Santa stuff coming along nicely and getting to see zero two weekends in a row (even if I have to work one of them...) and Christmas being here in a week and going home in 10 days.

Re: Things that I love
I love my credit union. I've had so many banking troubles in the past when I was with Bank of America that i'm always completely astonished at how nice and helpful my current credit union is. Even when something is completely my mistake (I overdrew my account because I forgot about two Paypal transactions that hadn't gone through) and they reversed the overdraft fees instantly when I asked what they were for before I figured out it was Paypal and that it was my fault. I hope this love lasts!
