Last two skills I’ve successfully learned:

1. Giving subcutaneous fluids to my cat. Followed vet instructions and watched several how-to videos online for different tempered cats.

2. Making macarons. Followed online recipes, tried some different techniques and troubleshooting through trial and error.

More recently, I have been trying to teach myself HTML whenever I have pockets of free time during the work day. I’m following the mozilla.org Intro to HTML as a guide.

Are you fully tightening one side before starting on the other side?

Since owning a house my partner and I have really embraced Fall/Thanksgiving/Halloween decor from mid-September until early November (we’re in Canada where Thanksgiving is in October). I like fancy/pretty shit so we have a bunch of blown glass and porcelain stuff, candles, some skull/haunted-like figurines, wreaths and vases with faux flowers/black branches. The last two Thanksgivings my partner bought me a bouquet of orange/yellow flowers for the dining table too.

I bake at least once for Thanksgiving and once for Halloween. We also watch Halloween Baking Championship every year, and try to squeeze in some horror flicks too.

We also listen to a very wide variety of fall/Halloween music throughout the season. This year we particularly enjoyed the Nemos dreamscapes compilations (example).

Shhhh… It just. works.

I chose it as a smaller, stable instance based in Canada that had a catchy name.

Baked until golden?

First 10 pages was probably the bulk of the story; the rest was just email replies.

I really enjoy the Bubly canned sparking water. Cheaper than Perrier, so many different flavours, and zero sugar or caffeine.

Remote starter for me. Never have to sit in a freezing car for 5+ minutes waiting for it to warm up.

She was in some “float ring” so more like drifting. Still terrifying to imagine.

Also the floor design behind her calf should have a white knot (?) to match the others in the pattern, but it is missing.

Beans, jeans, and Star Trek memes.

All older games as I can’t fit games into adult life:

And honourable mention of the only game I recently play, which is Cooking Fever.

Business casual sweater dress with a belt.

Nearly impossible to narrow down to one song. Basically a tie between these five:

• Ten Years After - I’d Love to Change the World
• Pink Floyd - Time
• AFI - God Called in Sick Today
• Avenged Sevenfold - Dear God
• Brad Paisley - Water

My first computer was in the mid-90s. It was a Commodore 64 and it was exclusively for playing Frogger on a floppy disk.

First phone was in 1999 or 2000, my older sister’s hand-me-down, believe it was a Nokia 2110. It was a brick phone with stationary antenna.

It’s similar in Polish where you’re welcome (proszę bardzo) literally translates to “please very much”.

Starcraft Zerg Theme 1 for me.

Meanwhile in Canada it takes nearly a full day to drive from one side of Ontario to the other. I have more faith in the European mind comprehending this than the USA’ean mind.

I just wanted to make it known that I have no opinion on his non-opinion.
