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.
Kauai! There are chickens EVERYWHERE, and everyone just walks around like they don't notice all these chickens everywhere.

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.

I know of a kid who decided not to go to Disney this week, because he is going to play baseball in Cooperstown later this summer.

OH MY GOD THE MACHINE AT WHOLE FOODS THAT LETS YOU GRIND YOUR OWN CHOCOLATE ALMOND BUTTER
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.

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
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.

Weird things about (temporarily) living and working in Hawaii:
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.

why do you look like a Mormon? just overdressed compared to the locals?

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.

It turns out that my hobby is collecting in-depth knowledge of outwardly boring facts/worldviews/systems. Great.

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.
