She says when it's an eye thing, go in to be safe. It can get bad quickly.

My wife is a vet tech, I'll ask her tonight for an opinion.

Its just the way some people learn to be and have observed how others interact.

My dad has a story from the late 70s when he was working in seminars. The more conservative the area, the more often women interpreted being included and an equal as flirtation. And as my dad was married, this offended them greatly.

Your mileage will vary with each person. But what your friend was asking was how you would like to be treated, because he is now on uneven footing, and I think this was really cool of him. Even if it's a bit sexist, it's honest.

Can't help you with replacing the texture, but I have gotten shallot infused olive oil for imparting the flavor. They also have garlic oil, of course.

It's the onion solids that offend most people, and often when thoroughly cooked, the proteins are denatured(?) enough to not cause me issues.

Raw onion and onion powder will mess up my system.

Note: Not Musk.

I take my joy in finding good presents for people. Only one or two a year will be the perfect gift for someone.

My wife is ecstatic that she got a lightsaber. She took it to work today to show it off.

She got me a sword, which is really awesome, but I wanted a few other things more.

So I don't focus on that but on how my efforts were successful and brought joy.

Nah. He's fine.

His name is Clifford.

That'd be a great premise for an action movie.

I'd call it 'The Silencer'.

Damn, I liked the show but get sick of seeing Zach Braff and his former bestie in commercials.

No way in hell do I want to try revisiting that. I'd just watch the old show.

It really does seem that the powers that be have forgotten. The right to strike is a compromise with management to avoid damage to company property and intentional sabotage. To quell the anger and violence.

These rights were paid for with blood, and they will be again if needed.

We are angry again. And they're gonna test us.

Children.

My wife is a huge Star Wars fan.

I got her a cosplay quality lightsabre. Lights up, makes noises when you swing it, the whole bit.

I also got her one of those electrified tennis rackets for killing flies.

She is so perplexed when I told her the theme of her gifts this year is weaponry.
