    No. I have no interest in posting in that thread. I have explained this to you, but you don't seem to grasp it. Also, if you are not able to extrapolate a correlation between my previous posts, the ones you quoted, you're more obtuse than I thought. I do not seek your engagement, and I...

    You can do it without a mixer, I have many times. Suet is a particular type of fat, not entirely unlike butter, but which has a much higher melting point than most butter does. Many large grocers have it. You can also get it online. Atora Shredded Suet - Flour and Suet

    These are good responses. If a seven year old is asked "how are you?" and his/her response is "Why the fuck do you want to know?" There has been a failure by the parent. Proper speech at proper times. I don't care about particular words, and I don't doubt that kids are going to learn them. I am...

    If you go and see Star Wars before me and then spoil it for me, I'ma kill you. I have no idea if that joke is appropriate. I hope it made you smirk, which was my goal.

    I'm a big fan of letting them cry it out. Do it safely, and make sure you are actually outside the door listening to make sure normal breathing is happening and so forth, but letting them get to the point where it's just not worth crying any more so they stop on their own is fantastic. It's a...

    Ugh. Shitty time of year for this to be happening. I hope whatever arrangement you end up with goes smoothly and no one turns into the snarky bitter bitch.

    I'm not saying it is so bad a thing, but I think it generally preferable children learn to communicate without cussing. There are simply instances when vulgar words have no place, thus making them so commonplace that little kids think them appropriate in every situation does not seem...

    Man, I have a couple friends who were not careful about what they said initially, and when their first kid was starting to talk he would repeat things they said. At one point the couple was arguing, trying not to in front of the kid, and they were apparently glaring at each other and the kid was...

    What is your education level?

    I stick to producing recordings of Indie Rock now, and conducting tends to be orchestral with choir. I'm doing Bach's B Minor next week. It's hella fun.

    I'm going to watch this in the theatre, and I'm sure I will enjoy it. Eye candy. Don't care even a little about the Star Trek lore being butt raped. It's not real, after all. You guys know that, right?

    I use ziplock freezer bags and do the immersion air evacuation method. works like a charm. Was delicious. Will bang again.

    I produce recordings and live music. Production is so much better than being the performer. By the time performance happens the work is done.

    Anticipating is so much more an orchestral thing. Choral folks tend to work on beat. When I do big gigs it's general with choir and orchestra, and I force the orchestra to work on beat. Visually. And I don't let the concert master lead. I'm doing the work. Follow me. And Noodle, I grew up...

    Here's what I'd like to say to this person: It's not that hard for you to choose a pronoun that isn't going to cause confusion. You're not allowed to chose a random pronoun to represent whatever the fuck it is you are, and then be outraged when people are confused. You're the problem here.
