  1. Well, last year my ex and I lived together, and we broke up in January (02) but she couldn't leave until March, so we lived together (slept in the same bed, actually) for two months after breaking up. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't wonderful either... I guess that depends on the state of the relationship and the breakup. But I'm guessing that you are planning on rooming with the ex on a semi-permanent basis, which isn't really what I'm talking about... A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

  3. Blecchh... Anybody else here struggling to get through the end of the term? I hate these last few weeks where all of the term papers are due. It seems so far until the work ends! Before I'm done, I must >finish a term paper on Messiaen by tomorrow >give a half-hour presentation on Mahler on Friday >Administer exams to my students >expand presentation into a 25 page term paper >play an organ jury >grade students' exams >Write a term paper on 12-tone music >not have a nervous breakdown in the process Worst thing of all? Skydiving season in Michigan won't start before the end of all that! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  4. That reminds me of the old Saturday Night Live sketch with Bill Murray playing an obstetrician who in decades of practicing has never delivered a boy baby. At the end of the sketch, we find out that about half of the girl babies he's delivered have required "surgery..." A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  5. I bet Jesus did it... after all, he is the reason for the season, no? Must have gotten tired of that stupid bunny getting all the attention. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  6. In that case, I'm sure I don't want to know what you do with them! My imagination can only come up with so many things...none of which sound like anything I'd want to do to a girlfriend I wanted to keep! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  7. Islandcool's other post reminded me. How about it, folks? This has always been a major source of controversy. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    April

  9. Yeah, the April snow is a bitch, but I have a friend who I have decided holds full responsibility for this. A few weeks ago, we were getting some 60-70 degree days. We were having lunch outside and she was saying how amazed she was at how great these Michigan springs are (her first one here)...how you don't get any of that warm/snow/warm/snow shit. I told her I was going to quote her on that. Before today, whenever I gave her shit about the snow, she would say, "It's not snow, it's appleblossoms." Today, I waited for her outside of her class and pelted her with an "appleblossomball." I think she got the point! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  10. I hear that ... I'm to the point where I can't stomach listening or reading or watching anything about the war anymore. I'm tired of thinking, worrying, getting angry. I'm here; I can't do anything about any of it. When the war is over, I'm sure I'll find out, and hopefully the world can move on as smoothly as possible. It's just doing me no good to expend so much negative energy on this. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  11. These themes are particularly present in my consciousness right now as I am working on a term paper on Mahler's Das Lied von Der Erde, and the final movement, "Der Abschied" is about death as an ecstatic union with the eternity of nature. For those of you that are into classical music (and even those who aren't) I recommend taking a listen to this piece. The ending is absolutely amazing! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  12. Hey Gawain, what part of Fairfield County was this? I grew up in Fairfield, CT and moved to the midwest in 1996. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  13. Depending on what is included with the kit, you may be better off just buying things piecemail. I was given a kit as a gift, and while I certainly would not have gotten around to homebrewing without it, I found that I ended up buying tons of supplies anyway. My suggestion would be a good book, like this one . It's the one I've been using. Papazian is evidently a foremost expert in homebrewing, having begun many societies and the like. You will probably need (at minimum) a 6.5 gallon carboy or pail, rubber stopper, bottle filling set with racking cane, tubing, and bottle filler, 4-gallon brewpot, hydrometer, sample jar, thermometer, 2-3 cases of empty bottles, bubbler, bottle capper, bottle caps, large funnel, large strainer, bottle and carboy brushes and/or rinsers. Make sure that the kit includes most of these items, otherwise it's just not worth it. The only equipment that the kit I was given included were a length of tubing, rubber stopper, and bubbler. It also included a booklet, but I ended up buying another book (two, actually) anyway, as well as another length of tubing which came with the bottle filling set. The stopper and bubbler both sell for 89 cents at my brewstore. The kit cost about twenty bucks. Best of luck, though, with whatever way you get into the hobby and remember: Relax, don't worry, have a homebrew! Steve A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  14. Heh... I used to drive by the Eat Here and Get Gas place all the time visiting my ex-girlfriend. It's on US-31 not too far from Kokomo, IN. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  15. Hey Congrats! I started up my third batch on Sunday. First batch got an infection, had to be thrown out. :(. Second batch came out okay, but needed some body - it had an O.G. of 1.031. Good flavor, just needed more of it. Sunday I started my Wuhdahfuh? Ale, so named because the brew store was out of everything on my list so I had to ... improvise a little. This one has an O.G. of 1.047. Now, I just have to play the waiting game... I'm getting really into homebrewing. Gives me something to do on weekends during the winter!

  16. Wow! You know, Steve and I started AFF at just about the same time. Here he is getting pied, and I'm only at a measly 11 waiting for spring to come. Sigh Congrats, Steve! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  17. What a bummer, Clay. You're, like, famous or something...!
  18. Hey, I was wondering if anybody is planning on going down to Skydive Monroe tomorrow. I'm visiting from Michigan, and would love to make a few jumps while I'm down here (haven't jumped since October 20!!). Thing is, I have no transportation, so if anyone is heading out that way tomorrow and can pick me up from East Cobb, pop me a PM if you would. Thanks a bunch, Steve A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

  22. No, it was already gone by the time I got to your car. But I was the one that stuck that "Jesus loves you; Everyone else thinks you're an asshole" bumper sticker to it! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  23. If evolution were a conscious process, I'd have a set of wings by now. Natural selection is not remotely interested in the survival of an individual--just the survival of a species. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
