Do what I did one day just after I turned 18...I moved out .
& I've never moved back in ;)
Money's an issue for me, and I'm on good terms with my folks... so staying at home is the best option right now.

;;;
I was & still am on great terms with my folks. But living under their roof, meant i had some rules that...chaffed a little. Late nights... one night stands, that kind of thing upset my mother ,who is not rabidly religious, but it's a rare Sunday she isn't at church, & she volunters with the Church lady group...so you know , I just said fuck it, I'm out of here & I moved in with a couple of friends into a 3 bedroom house for half a year while I sorted out what I wanted to do .

Then there was the shitty night I had at work. Ever been so mad and frustrated about something your coworkers did that it was everything you could do not to cry? Yeah. That was my night.

;;;
No, actually .
It would have to be someone I cared for, family, a lover someone like that, is about the only people who can effect me like that. If your just another peon (aka worker) whether you live or die, really doesn't matter to me one way or another. I'm kind of cold like that , I've been told. I've seen co workers killed, right in front of my eyes & once it was determined we couldn't help/save him, get out of the way & let the clean up crew do their job.
Last year on a stage show I was with another long time co worker, & several others & a guy who's job was dropping the masking around the stage, that we were giving a hand, wanted to go up in a cherry picker without using the outriggers to drop some clips holding a truss to side masking so the truss could come in. He refused to let us set up the lift properly & when he went up ,about 20-25 feet, the damn thing tipped over he came crashing into the stage... blood was gushing out of a head wound & he had an arm in an uncomfortable looking position, was only semi conscious & I called coffee for me & my guy's. I didn't even go over to see if he needed help. You're an asshole, caused a work stoppage for all of us because you're a dick...I don't care if you live or die...I went for coffee.
Like my business agent said later, your cold more... i don't see it that way, but I don't care either way.

The only way I can explain it is that it was the tail end of an adrenalin rush; I was mad to the point of not being able to see straight, and as soon as the cause of everything left, I had this rush of sudden calm... still mad... but then I felt like crying for some reason.

Like my business agent said later, your cold more... i don't see it that way, but I don't care either way.

Lol, I only have a couple. Cannery, lumber mill and furniture factory and they don't complain. They do complain about income disparity, but it's laughable since it's minimal compared to income disparities in the real world. I had, like 7 in the Q10/Q1 index, whereas argentina's is 35. Hm, I should calculate the Gini too. Plus, there's equal opportunities in the game since education is free and for all, so the only reason they get paid less is laziness.
So, yeah, commies.

I KNEW IT! I knew it I knew it I knew it!

Back when I worked my first job in one of the local grocery stores (when I was about 17), they had in the spice section a shaker of MSG, and the label stated that it was a great seasoning for steak. Although I haven't seen it since then, I have told people this, and they hardly believe me.

Well guess what I just found?

MSG Monosodium Glutamate from AmericanSpice.com.

I'm half tempted to order a bottle of it for shits and giggles. I wonder what it would do for my chili recipe...

Nope. In the old tropico you could, and it was awesome. Then once they took to the jungle if you tried to search for them it just showed the trees.

We picked up milk last night while we were out shopping, and somehow it managed to not come home with us. No idea how that happened.

So of course when I set out to make corn bread for dinner, I realized the absence of milk would be problematic. Steve's out getting a haircut, and I don't want to wait til he gets home...and I can't go myself, thanks to the half-accomplished dinner.

The interwebs tell me I can substitute yogurt. Awesome, I've got yogurt...except my plain yogurt is way too low for the recipe. Oh, here we go, blueberry yogurt!

The batter is super thick, more like a dough, even though I added some extra liquid. But if this works, I imagine blueberry cornbread will be tasty.

Huzzah for experimentation!

It's not really very special. Tastes mostly like cornbread with a bare hint of blueberry. Smells like blueberry muffins, though.

Actually the majority of them are imports from eastern Europe. Zubr is Czech, Tyskie and Lech are Polish. Unfortunately dude does not appear to drink Zywiec, which is my personal favourite.

Just make it dude. Cornbread is not complicated. Although for an actual blueberry flavour you'll need to use blueberries and not just yogourt.
