...the place in Berkeley they've done it for decades (His Lordship's) closed down, so they had to get a place in San Francisco. Now THAT is an expensive place to rent a prom!
It'll be ritzy, but the S.F. night scene is definitely one where you have to be very wary.

So, according to Wikipedia, the modern key was invented in 1848.
So, why is it stupid to keep a bowl/box/whatever of unidentifiable keys around?
I was going through a bin of my father’s old hardware, and found a key ring of “unknown keys to be sorted”. The writing was my grandmother’s (born 1898). The keys were ALL of the pre-1848 variety, though I know the old style keys were still widely in use in the 1920s and 1930s.
But in any case, I have a ring of keys that are very likely nearing 100 years old. Because people hate to throw out unknown keys...
I just came back from sprout. I had stir fried brocolli with carrots and black fungus, lion head mushroom rendang, 5 takoyaki balls, a scoup of dark chocolate ice cream and my shopping bag has pesto sauce, blueberries, an aloe Vera ice jelly, a soy pudding, 250g of cocrodile tail meat, some chufa nuts and a bottle of elderberry mead in it. Talk about retail therapy...
lightweight.

Happy birthday Limey! Been busy cooking my week's food today and also my favourite apples are Pacific Rose apples
Also zucchini as base for pizza is looking prospective, preliminary bake tests(15 min on each side) have produced a zuchinni slab. However it's still a little wet...wonder how that's going to go with pizza. I may scoop out the seeds of one to make a boat just to test. Also I have yet to do the reheat from frozen test yet. We'll see...
I ate those zuchinni slabs with pesto sauce from Sprout, was decent.

Downtown San Francisco at night is a bizarre place, where the relative safety varies on a block-by-block basis. You can park 4 blocks from the theater, and have three of those blocks be perfectly safe, while on the fourth there are constantly predators looking for victims (muggers, scam artists, groups of young toughs looking for a fight, aggressive men looking to pick up women who won't take, "No," for an answer, and what-have-you), and the blocks never vary. It's not like, "Oh, tonight the 300 block was bad, but last week it was the 400 block," it's, "Is there a way to walk back to the car without ever having to walk the 300 block?"
I've never seen a phenomenon like it; Oakland has major gathering places that have sketchy areas around them, but they're not interspersed like that.
So you just need to be able to look at a block and say, "Oh, we shouldn't on that one." And it's an acquired skill.

Why LM is going to h*** *this* time:
This morning in adult Sunday school before service, someone said, "Explain the Trinity". And no one spoke. And they said again, "I'm serious; explain the Trinity."
So I said, "The Trinity is like RuPaul. Sometimes RuPaul goes out in full drag, sequins, eyelashes, the works. And is RuPaul. And sometimes RuPaul wears a nice jacket and bow tie and glasses and his head is bald. And is RuPaul. And sometimes RuPaul sits at home in the morning in a robe and fuzzy slippers with a mug of coffee. And is RuPaul."
An old lady in front of me turned around and asked, "Did you really just say that?"
"Yes. Yes I did."
Then I texted it to my sister. She texted back, "The next time I see RuPaul in drag, I'm going to say, 'Holy Ghost, you look so fabulous!' And also, if we're meant to be made in God's image, I guess that means I really need to work on my eye makeup technique."
My sister is also going to h***. Which is good; I'll need company.

It's only heresy if you believe it is the Truth. So long as one accepts that any human description of the unknowable is, at best, a peripheral glimpse through a fogged window, it's as useful a sketch as any.

It is also possible you may live in a Keyhouse (spoilers for horror comic). In which case, avoid the well.
Where is h*** exactly?In the Cayman Islands, not far from Jamaica.
It's also in Michigan. Which would probably be fairly comfortable weather much of the time for Freehold.

that's what we are here for. I hope things turn around for you. It's not long ago I was where you are now.

It's good to say that you're not doing well when you aren't. It's not a competition for who has it worst. You're feeling not so great and those feelings are real and valid and you don't have to apologize for having them. Sometimes the brain weasels get out of hand and you need a little help remembering that you're not bad and everything else won't be bad forever even if it's bad right now. *hugs*
I'm not very good at talking about these things, nor at I good at finding the right word to show appreciation. So I'm afraid that this is about the best I can do, without spending days trying to wrapping my head around how to make things sound all good and proper... ^^'
Thank you very much to both of you Freehold and Lyn.
*Sends hugs'n'thank-you's*
I am 40 today, a nice round number, and also the only age I'm likely to reach which rhymes with the word 'snorty'
Happy 4th decade Limey.
*lots of hugs*
I'm hesitant to say I'm doing 'really badly' as there are people here who are having a rawer deal currently…and I don't want to overshadow that in any way.
But No, I'm don't doing so well currently. It's a bit of everything, mentally and emotionally I'm spent and raw, been feeling lonely and missing companionship and life/work has been letting me down lately.
*Returns many hugs to Woran and sends added thanks and wellwishes*

My weekends generally have busy on them while I do experiments in the kitchen and all that. I might be trying a Green bean with carrot and onion stir fry next for my set of vegetable rations. Having to lug around like 1.2 kg of cauliflower and 1.1 kg of brocolli is quite a bit...
Cost is also a factor, though.

Scary coincidences in my life never cease.
GothBard suggested I give the keys to Shiro so he could use them as props in a Call of Cthulu game. So I took them to his house today...
...and he showed me the bagful of antique keys he'd just ordered online.
He took mine anyway. I bet it's because they're better; they're authentic, covered with rust, and look like tetanus in key form.

Yep. For the record we're generating 33-36 kWh per day, and only using 16-17. So our solar guys managed to sneak in a "double what you need" system.
I am all happiness.
And Impus Minor left the dryer open again (so the incandescent light got left on all day) and I didn't have to CARE!!!!.
I am enjoying solar FAR more than I should be...
