Okay, FFers, I'm telling this social network first because I'm not ready to tell others yet. Anyway, due to many reasons, especially the fact that I'm stuck in my life and need to find a career path, I'm moving back to Norther VA at the end of July. I see it as a regrouping and it's temporary. This has been a hard decision, but it needed to happen.

Good luck on your move, Lis.
- Anika
Yes, good luck!
- Spidra Webster
It's taken me months to get to this point. I've lived here for 8 years. I survived a massive bipolar episode last year and got back to work. This is my decision. I can't keep living on stop-gap jobs. I'm 31 and need to figure out a plan and I can't financially do that here. I'm very conflicted about it and I've cried a lot. This is my home, where my friends are, where I've found a...

Good luck, Lis, and congratulations on making such a positive step. We'll still be right here :)
- WoH: Minding her Steves
Good luck with the move! I hope it gets you on a better path.
- John (bird whisperer)
My one fear is that my friends are here and I HATE making new friends. I have a plane-full of baggage and I'm scared of new relationships.
- Lis
I'm sorry, Lis. New beginnings can he hard. Can you email any theatres in the area you're moving to and see if you can make any connections in advance of you arriving? You may be able to get career leads and make friends in advance, that may be less scary because you share a common passion right off the bat.
- joey
good luck Lis hope everythig works out in your favor.

The people in DC aren't so bad.
- Alex Scrivener
All change can be overwhelming. It takes some of us longer to get to where we want to be but if you stop thinking about years in advance and just take care of yourself now, it'll work out. Hang in there!
- Gabrielle
On the upside, you'll be closer to NYC, so you can take a bus or train in more frequently if there are shows you want to see or people you want to meet.
- John (bird whisperer)
All the best, Lis. Come talk to us any time.

Just to clarify, I'll be moving in with my mom, which is a good thing as I miss her so, so much. I need her right now.
- Lis
Best of luck with starting a new chapter in your life, Lis! I'm glad you'll be able to be with your mother. :)

You've made a very tough decision and, therefore, have taken the first step on this new journey. I wish you the best trip forward!

luck to you!

Lis, I can totally relate to what you are going through. I wish you the best of luck on this new chapter of your life.

hard decisions can make way for positive change. :)

There are quite a few different paths out there; so yours is taking a turn...you will be stronger for it.
- Mathew A. Koeneker
Doing what you need to do for you I fully support, no matter (barring extremes) what that is *hug* find happy
- Michael W. May
I can appreciate what you have been going through. Uprooting yourself is very difficult, especially with the health issues that you and I share. It takes courage to confront the fact that your current situation isn't healthy for you in the long run, because complacency and inertia are pernicious. They can become our worst enemies. Good for you, and good luck.

Looks like my ratio as flipped again (comments back to dominating again). Seems to match my own awareness I've lately been commenting without Liking (commenting is my inherent recognition of value to me and the additional Like is when it merits an extra bump to help discovery by others).

Micah.. I told you I take my likes seriously; ). You *might* want to ask (in a separate post) what percentage of likes were used to "bookmark" a post or save it for later VS actually "liking it".

- Micah
Likes are down relative to comments, which matches my much lower frequency of liking. I'm a more selective liker than ever.
- Micah
I don't think I could argue that any particular kind of ratio is "best", because if Lurkers like to Lurk and cultivate (via Likes) and the Chatty-ites love to chat, to pump out much many more comments than Likes, each can be happy and make for a great social experience.

that was my third post... It's interesting to see how the number has changed. of course, I manipulated the number to a degree, because I stopped "liking" things for a while...
- Bren
Bren, the other thing that can seriously throw off someone's stats is a feed that upon each item it imports adds a comment automatically.
- Micah
true. that can seriously inflate comment stats, of course. Then you have someone like RAPatton, who posts a gazillion comments, in part because of his playlist posts where he will list each song in a separate comment. I found, after this post in fact, that I tended to "like" things much more frequently than comment on them, that I was lurking instead of participating. I have changed the way I use ff rather considerably, and I think for the better.

Hmm. That sucks. Looking at the way Posterous handles images, it looks like someone should be able to modify the existing Posterous importer and run a regexp search for \.scaled(\d+)\.(jpg|png|gif) and remove that string from all image URLs before actually importing them.

The Scrivener Eggnog Recipe: 4 cups Blended Whiskey, 2 cups Brandy, 1 cup dark Jamaican Rum, 1 cup light Puerto Rican Rum. 1 dozen eggs, 1 pound sugar, 1 quart whole milk, 1 quart heavy cream.
Jimminy, CoG of FF, Betsy, #cryptic and 49 other people liked this
Separate eggs. Whisk sugar and yolks until smooth. Pour in liquor slowly, whisking constantly. This will cook the yolks, so if they aren't whisked smooth with the sugar you will have bits of yellow floating in the nog. Add dairy, still whisking. Beat egg whites to soft peaks, then fold into the nog. Let sit for 24 hours. Serve with fresh nutmeg on top.

With all that alcohol, it's like a dairy version of a Long Island Iced Tea
- Spidra Webster
It is a recipe of halves. Of the gallon of liquid, It is half dairy and half liquor. Of the half which is liquor, half is whiskey. Of the half which is not whiskey, half is brandy. Of the half which is not brandy, half is light rum and half is dark. Of the half is dairy, half is milk and half is cream. Then you throw in the dozen eggs and the pound of sugar.

Oh yeah, this is some great stuff! Every year I forget, and every year I am reminded again.

if you like coconut, there's a puerto rican style egg nog-type of deal known as coquito. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... that's not the recipe i've used, but those are the basic ingredients: coconut milk, condensed milk, rum and egg yolks.

I like coconut, but I am an eggnog purist.

Mmm, I'm at my mother-in-law's house and she makes something very similar. She makes the yolk/sugar/booze/dairy mixture the day before and folds the egg whites in right before serving though, I think. I know there was a bunch of Jameson's in it. Yum, can't wait - we get to drink it later today.

Sounds like a book I need to add to my TBR. If that busybody needs books to really complain about, I can make him/her a list. Actually, I may have to put in an ILL for it soon (if for no other reason than to mess with our ILL folks, but then, the other libraries may send a less risque cover edition. It still does sound ooh aah haha)

It seems to me that, even if you're going to naked murder a guy, slipping a butcher knife between your butt cheeks just doesn't seem to be a thing you wanna do.

"So this girl walks into a bar-- and when she walks out there's a man with her. She goes to bed with him, and she likes that part. Then she kills him, and she likes that even better. On her way out, she cleans out his wallet. She keeps moving, and has a new name for each change of address. She's been doing this for a while, and she's good at it. And then a chance remark gets her...

I like Block's Matt Scudder series. He wrote porn in his early years and kind of played with that genre in the standalone Small Town, which I liked with reservations. (Could have done without the extended sex scenes, but as a post-9/11 tribute to New York it's dandy.) I admit I really dislike that cover. I wouldn't remove or cover the book but I might make a face whenever I looked at it.

The Fragmenting of the New Class Elites, or, Downward Mobility - http://volokh.com/2011...
"The OWS protestors are a revolt — a shrill, cri-de-coeur wail at the betrayal of class solidarity — of the lower tier New Class against the upper tier New Class. It was, after all, the upper tier New Class, the private-public finance consortium, that created the student loan business and inflated the bubble in which these lower tier would-be professionals borrowed the money. It’s a securitization machine, not so very different from the subprime mortgage machine. The asset bubble pops, but the upper tier New Class, having insulated itself and, as with subprime, having taken its cut upfront and passed the risk along, is still doing pretty well. It’s not populism versus the bankers so much as internecine warfare between two tiers of elites. The downward mobility is real, however, in both income and status. The Cal graduate started out wanting to do “sustainable conservation.” She is now engaged in something closer to subsistence farming."

The Brother's Keeper Bill, by Bryan Caplan - http://econlog.econlib.org/archive...
"Suppose someone proposed a "Brother's Keeper Bill." According to this BKB, people earning at least double the poverty line would be financially obliged to give 20% of their income to any sibling earning less than the poverty line. I doubt many people would support this bill. If you asked them "Why not?," here are some of the reasons they'd be most likely to profess:"

"Nan Terrie learned an expensive lesson last week about the importance of property rights. “Stealing is our biggest problem at the moment,” the 18-year-old protester told the New York Post. “I had my Mac stolen—that was like $5,500.” Why? Because she left it in a public place, amid a crowd demanding the redistribution of wealth. Imagine that."

The Euthanasia of the Saver | The Beacon - http://blog.independent.org/2011...
"In short, the highest yield available to ordinary investors who seek a simple, low-risk investment of their funds is, at best, roughly equal to the rate of inflation—and then, with a 30-year term to maturity, only with substantial risk of capital loss if interest rates should rise. To put the matter another way, all ordinary investors are now being progressively impoverished because the nominal return on their investments falls short of the loss of purchasing power of the dollar during the term of the investment. Getting a positive real rate of return is effectively impossible for the proverbial widows and orphans. Only investors with the knowledge of how to invest in gold, crude commodities, and other such esoteric assets stand any chance of earning positive real returns, and then only with great risk of substantial capital losses."

Ron Paul's Unusual Path - http://reason.com/archive...
Jeff (Team マクダジ ) liked this
"His town hall meeting is in an auditorium at the Figge Art Museum, which an audience of some 100 people has filled on a sunny fall afternoon. Other candidates may arrive to thumping music, but Paul gets a simple introduction as "the Thomas Jefferson of our day." Others may affect shirtsleeves or cowboy boots to show their connection to ordinary folks, but the 76-year-old Paul wears a business suit. He doesn't tell jokes or pay homage to local politicians. When he is done, he leaves without stopping to shake hands or pose for photos. Paul is the only Republican contender who can speak for more than an hour without attacking President Barack Obama by name or invoking Ronald Reagan. His rivals are running political campaigns. Paul has bigger fish to fry."
