It's because they're spicy, though? Like, I don't want to hurt the compost or something, which is totally irrational. - Meg VMeg
the compost gasps for more water... - Marie

Today I watched a video on Youtube, and then I went to watch it again, and it said that first I had to answer a question about my opinion on the US defense policy.
WTF? - Tinfoil 2.0
No clue. I instantly started yelling for my friend, but before I was able to show her the question, the video was showing again. - Meg VMeg
O_o - Heather
It. has. begun. - Micah
I have never seen this many chickens at a beach.
Are you in Maui? We saw lots of them at a rocky beach there. It was pretty funny. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
Kauai! There are chickens EVERYWHERE, and everyone just walks around like they don't notice all these chickens everywhere. - Meg VMeg
Yeah, they're invasive and feral, kind of like the mongooses that run around like squirrels (a bit more secretively, though) and the zebra doves that hang out everywhere like house sparrows. I loved all of it, though. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
Kauai is chicken heaven. - Ken Morley
Tell me some gossip!
Moody has three arms. - Laura Norvig from iPod

There's no I in gossip. #casesensitive - Micah
I had a baby. That's big gossip in the English department here, but I think you already knew about it. - laura x from iPhone

OH MY GOD CHOCOLATE ALMOND BUTTER - Meg VMeg
It might be dangerous that I can easily walk to Whole Foods. - Julian
I am eating it out of the tub, with a spoon. - Meg VMeg
You might have to salt it a little. - Meg VMeg
Chocolate Almond Butter - how have i been living without this my whole life? - SteVe C
I get this at my coop. Sometimes for lazydinner, I just have dates stuffed with almond butter. With a little sliver of dark chocolate tucked in. - rochelle rochelle

J. Crew corduroy pants on sale for $5 #duh #itshawaii
damn. buy me some? - RepoRat

heh. they won't have it. J. Crew doesn't dress fat people. - RepoRat
oh well - Meg VMeg
Boats make me throw up.
It's good because now I know not to go on a boat ever, ever again. - Meg VMeg
You've tried Bonine? No drowsiness and it works for most people. - Walt Crawford
Yep, I took two dramamine an hour before getting on the boat, and one as we got on the boat. Didn't help :( - Meg VMeg
I'll note that Bonine and generics are meclizine, an entirely different chemical from Dramamine (dimedhydrinate) and, in my experience, FAR superior. But if it didn't help at all, it's possible meclizine wouldn't be any better. - Walt Crawford
I had scopalimine patches for my cruise that seemed to help whe we got in a storm. Dramamine never did much for me - WarLord
Scopolamine is the third option and probably the strongest, but it requires a prescription (I believe) for the patch. (Frankly, I sort of assumed Dramamine was off the market, given the clear superiority of meclizine. Then again, AFAIK you can't trip out by taking an overdoze of meclizine...) - Walt Crawford
Dramamine is my migraine copilot. - rochelle rochelle from fftogo
Walt, I took the "less drowsy" formula of dramamine, which is meclizine. I could try the real stuff actually, though I might just sleep through the boat. - Meg VMeg
Meg VMeg: If you already took meclizine, your only real alternative is the patch--and maybe you're just one of those who doesn't belong on the water. Too bad. - Walt Crawford
Sigh. It's sad, I used to be able to handle this stuff okay. Stupid ear bones or whatnot. - Meg VMeg
ah sweets. i have a friend who swears by the pressure-point bracelets? they look dorky, and mess with your tan, but none of the "-ines" did anything for her. - jambina
I have a poke problem.
TWSS - Marianne
That's nuthin. I got a huge Polk problem. TMBG GOT IT WRONG. - Zamms
RAMBUTANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
That's a kind of fruit. I'm going to eat it for lunch. - Meg VMeg
They have mongooses here, instead of squirrels. It's trippy.
And here is..... - The Ghost of Library Past

Altho they have replaced squirrels with mongooses in NYC, too. - Zamms

Oh dear lord, Peter Buck is in this, and they're singing "Get Back in Line" and it's fantastic. KENDRA KENDRA, I HOPE YOU'VE SEEN THIS, I CAN'T EDIT MY POST TO DM YOU. - Meg VMeg
Interviewer: "Can you tell me why you love the Kinks?" Young woman: "Puis-je répondre en français?" - Meg VMeg
Weird things about (temporarily) living and working in Hawaii:
1. Not being on vacation in Hawaii - Meg VMeg
2. Hawaiian food (very delicious, very different) - Meg VMeg
3. Looking like a Mormon/Hasid - Meg VMeg
4. Never talking to any friends or family (stupid time zone) - Meg VMeg
5. Feeling lame for hating nature (stupid nature) - Meg VMeg
how long are you there? - holly #ravingfangirl
Til mid-Feb - Meg VMeg
Did you touch lava? How is the spam sushi? - Georgie Bestie
just long enough to get used it all. :) - holly #ravingfangirl
6. No patrons - Meg VMeg
I didn't touch lava, though I did hike 4 hours to look at it (red! hot!), then had a panic attack and threw up, then hiked 4 hours back to the car, then got motion sickness and threw up. I haven't tried the spam sushi. I don't like ham or ham products or processed meats. Though I'm missing out, I bet. - Meg VMeg
7. No cats that are my cats - Meg VMeg
why do you look like a Mormon? just overdressed compared to the locals? - DJF
8. Stacked, whomper-jobby, pastel houses in valleys (LOVE) - Meg VMeg
Yeah, I like to wear clothes? On my skin. Layers of clothes. I never wore shorts or tank tops, even during Dallas/Houston summers. Plus, NYC fashion is less flashy than what people wear here. Fewer flowers, colors, large prints. I couldn't even buy these clothes there, I don't think. - Meg VMeg
9. Fruit!!! - Meg VMeg
10. Wild chickens everywhere - Meg VMeg
11. Volcanic craters (MULTIPLE) on the way to work - Meg VMeg
Which island are you on? - Hedgehog
Oahu now. I was on the Big Island for New Year's, and I'm planning a weekend trip to Kauai. - Meg VMeg
12. Holy laughter - Meg VMeg
Wait wait. I thought you were just on vacation. What is your gig there? - Jason P
I'm on research leave. I'm working on the Pacific Islands' regional contribution to the National Climate Assessment. - Meg VMeg
That sounds like a great (temporary) job! - Kelli H. from Android
I guess hitting the beaches is out then eh? - ronin
It is surreal! Not a lot of time for beaches except on weekends. Tomorrow we are hiking Kuliouou Ridge, and Sunday is stand-up paddling. - Meg VMeg
This is all very fascinating. :) thanks for sharing! - Que Sarah Sarah from iPhone
life is an adventure, not a guided tour. :-) - Jezmynne Dene from BuddyFeed
*mwah* - Meg VMeg
I know how to pronounce "Kiribati". Hint: it's probably not what you think.
It turns out that my hobby is collecting in-depth knowledge of outwardly boring facts/worldviews/systems. Great. - Meg VMeg
Hey, guess what? Leaving the pit in the guacamole doesn't prevent it from browning (except where it happens to be blocking air from reaching the surface of the guacamole). I don't know what I was thinking all these years. I feel like such a dupe.
errrr, i always thought that too. though now when i think about it... being younger was awesome. - jambina
I don't leave the pit in mine. I just squeeze some lemon juice on top and cover it with cellophane. Keeps the brown out if, somehow, we have leftover guacamole. - Anika
MAYBE YOUR QUESTION WAS RHETORICAL
I like yes/no rhetorical questions. - Zamms
