'Nothing against Supertramp, but... ABBA.

I was just starting to get back into shape a little by running and skiing when I injured my back repotting an 8 foot money tree. That was 4 weeks ago. It still isn't quite right but I went for a run...

I've never enjoyed being drunk. I hate not being able to control my body. Even worse is not remembering a chunk of time. But I love beer and scotch whiskey... almost any whiskey really, though Scotch...

I haven't had housemates other than my spouse for more than 20 years. But I don't think about compatibility in terms of type. For me it has always been about living in a harmonious environment. So as...

I break out into song all the time. If something reminds me of a quote from a movie, I can't resist saying it in the voice of the character, even when nobody will have any idea what I'm talking...

Most people think I am an enormous risk taker. And in some areas of my life, I would have to agree my risk tolerance is pretty high. I'm what used to be called an extreme skier. I spend as much of my...

I have an addictive streak and a tendency to procrastinate. But I don't have much trouble knuckling down and imposing structure and discipline on myself when I know that is what's necessary. Some of...

I would live my whole life outdoors if that were practical right now. I've lived in a tent backpacking for weeks at a time in all seasons. Being out in nature alone or with a few close friends is...

If your feet are cold, put on a hat. Chew your corn well or you'll see it again tomorrow. When in doubt, apply speed. If the final exam is tomorrow and you haven't begun to study yet, you...

Thank you for your kind words, Lord Pixel. Two months ago (I posted about this somewhere on PerC) I collapsed during a walk after dinner with my spouse. I suddenly experienced a rapid succession of...

I am very good at math. I enjoy solving difficult problems and I could always crush word problems on tests. Arithmetic, though, I lack the patience to do repetitive tasks. I can do it ok in my head...

I too make my own pizza from scratch. I'll make enough dough for 4 pizzas and put 3 in the freezer for later. I don't like too much sauce or too much cheese, so I prefer to make them myself. They are...

I wanted to say 11 but actually voted 9. I like what @Witch of Oreo said about it being a response to invalidation. People I work with don't get why I'm more sensitive than they are when they are the...

I'm grateful that I am still alive after the last few months, which culminated in a coronary arterial spasm that flatlined me in the ambulance and showed me the white light. Yesterday, my...
