the home network has taken on the status of plumbing, in some homes. as long as it's working, nobody cares. - DJF via twhirl

At least I'm not a plumbing geek. - Karin Dalziel

Neither am I. When I spent a lot of time complaining about having to do some plumbing in the old house, I was accused of being lazy. 4 trips to Home Depot later, I'm no longer lazy, and plumbing is no longer something we undertake on our own. - DJF via twhirl

We undertake plumbing on our own (lots of patching that is probably all wrong) but I take no joy in it. I genuinely *like* fiddling w/ the network, tho. :D (oh, and I wasn't accusing you of being a plumbing geek there.) - Karin Dalziel

My mother makes baked acorn squash and simply fills the cavity with 1 tbsp of butter and a sprinkling of bacon bits. YUM! - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

Only a tablespoon?! When I bake a squash, I fill the cavity with melted butter. The whole cavity! It usually takes about a stick of butter. Then I put a bunch of kosher salt on top. MMM. - Rochelle

I use butter and brown sugar. - Jordan Hofker

Tablespoon as in using the actual big spoon from the cutlery set, not a measuring spoon ;-) However, she doesn't melt it ahead of time, just plops a scoop in there. It melts as the squash cooks and bubbles all around, then when we eat them we scrape the squash meat off the skin and mix it all up and can add just a touch more butter if needed (though I can't remember anyone doing so). - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

Now the question is whether I eat the frozen squash in the freezer or go to the store and buy a squash to bake... - Rochelle

I love seasonally useful recipes like this -- can I get acorn squash in California? - Pete Delucchi

I'm going to have to make this while my mom is here--this just sounds wonderful - Abigail (Hε₫§εhσ§ ĺﺃβ)

Buy fresh! Use the frozen squash to make squash soup when the weather gets chilly. Might want to buy and bake extra, since you can cube it and freeze easily in that form... I might have to grill a squash tonight.... - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

I would think you can Pete. - Jill, Superhero Librarian

OKAY. I have obtained a fresh squash! - Rochelle

I need to get one too. Maybe I'll make this over the weekend as a reward for my last work weekend for the semester. Three in a row for the loss. - Jill, Superhero Librarian

Oooohhh . . . and I have squash in the fridge I need to do something with ^-^ - Lindsey

Pete - yes, i used to get it all over California. I prepare it 2 ways: Sweet - butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom. Savory: Butter, salt, pepper. I Love them BOTH!! yuuuuuummmm!! - Susan Beebe

Susan: thank you, thank you, thank you... I've been trying to figure what was missing from "my" recipe for years (trying to recreate one from my childhood years) ...

That's one of my beefs about the lists. Once you put someone on one, they are marked as only that type of person, which is lame for a jack of all trades kind of guy like me. Categories would be nice. - Josh Haley

Josh, what's the difference between lists & categories though? - Mark Wilson

@JustdoitMS - doesn't that entirely defeat the purpose of what I was suggesting? My thought is "some of my followers would rather not see my political items". So if I could categorize/tag entries, and people could opt-out of *ever* seeing those categories/tags (from individuals or from all), it would be a better experience - Jeremy Toeman

Ah...okay. I understand better now. You'd rather the individual have the option without having to join something. This would be nice if there was also a search for tags or categories. - Jill, Superhero Librarian

I agree with Steve. I think the folks that take the steps to add themselves as members to the Wiki &/or the Drupal site are probably more invested in LSW than those on LinkedIn or FB, who are expressing some interest, but may have never been to any of the other sites or participated much.

Jenica: There's definitely some of that, but things like trying to fire ex-brother-in-law, then firing sherriff who won't go along, trying to fire librarian, lobbying for pork for her city, etc, are definitely things to keep in mind. Slagging her as bad mother for working is inappropriate. - DJF via twhirl

Oh, I'm all over attacking her actions, record, and policies. I think they suck. But, seriously, she's SUPPOSED TO STAY HOME BECAUSE SHE HAS BABIES?!? That makes me all shouty. - Jenica

I just want her to actually keep her kids out of the campaign or stop complaining when people talk about them when she uses them as talking points. - flaming horse

and it should. the party of the ERA should hardly be complaining about a mom choosing to work (although only in America would 3months be considered a long maternity leave). Of course, there's also the hypocracy of focus on the family deciding that palin is managing her work/life balance when any dem would be nailed for it. - DJF via twhirl

palin's fine, she can take it, she is a politician. the current u.s. political process is nasty right now, and no one is getting over except to a limited extent john mccain because he is an authentic war hero. but the republicans trademarked the nasty attacks beginning with willy horton, so just deal with it. - Wilma Stoneflint

Of course Palin can take it. But using misogynistic arguments to attack her lends undeserved validity to those arguments, so is a not-very-indirect attack on all other women. Equality isn't just for people we think deserve it or people we think need it; it's for everyone. - Deborah Fitchett

Deborah: Exactly my point. Just because the Republicans are misogynistic bastards most of the time doesn't mean that Dems and Progressives can get a free pass on doing the same. Stick with the issues, record, and policies and leave the name-calling, petty misogyny out of the conversation. - åņņå
