Okay, you guys are starting to know me a little too well. No, Moonstruck was not adapted from a book :) But if it had been, it'd be dog-eared on my bookshelf, believe you me! The quote I wrote down is more of a contemporary classic. A hint? Mellors is the name of the hero. Maybe "bane" was a little strong, but it's certainly annoying that Every Single Term, at least one student asks, with wide-eyed tabloid eyes, if Mary M. and J. really did make babies... Have you heard about those historians who have filed a lawsuit, claiming that Brown plagiarized from one of their books? You know, if my academic work were in ANY way associated with that book, I wouldn't advertize it. To their credit, though, they claim that one of the reasons they've filed the lawsuit is because they feel that being associated with Brown's book makes their own work look bad. I like the idea of a "truth-sorter", though :) Sounds like some sort of futuristic, robotic computer device - like you'd find in a "Jetsons" court room.

Sounds like a wonderful day. Hang gliding is something I've always wanted to try but never gotten to. I understand it is best left to the more athletic, not to mention coordinated people. So glad you enjoyed it.

I thought I'd post an update here for anybody who might be reading this in the future. After reading the comments here, I decided that I was probably going to be most like the people who liked the drawer. So I set my sights on LG LRMDC2306S, which is a counter-depth with flex drawer. Then I tried to find one to look at. I couldn't find that exact one (yet), but I found a similar model, the LRMVC2306S, which appears to be exactly the same except with "InstaView," their window-into-the-fridge feature. And I could not believe how small the fridge interior seemed. I brought my measuring tape to see if a 12-pack of soda would fit, since I'd seen people complaining in a few places that it wouldn't. I thought it was hyperbole, but no, soda boxes are 21" long and the shelves were 16-18" deep. If the shelves inside the right-side door were arranged just so, and only contained small things, I think it would be possible to fit a soda box in there front to back, but it would overhang the shelf and go into the closed-door shelf space. (It's not possible on the left side door since the icemaker is there.) The InstaView shelving did not allow this, but it looked like maybe it would be the case on the original model I wanted to see. And it was the case on several other counter-depth fridges I tested. Not a great solution, and maybe soda boxes aren't my only constraint, but I wasn't thrilled about this. So I just started opening counter-depth fridges at the store to see what felt bigger to me. I settled onto two others: The LG LRFXC2416S, which claims to only have one additional cubic foot but seems a lot larger. The KitchenAid KRFC704FBS which feels a LOT larger but is similarly sized as well. The KitchenAid seems to be about $1k more for an equivalent feature set, but I haven't fully researched it yet. Consumer Reports scored both of these highly. I'm not sure yet what we're going to do, but I'm coming to the realization that although a flex drawer is nice, I think it would only be viable for me on a standard-depth fridge. I just can't take the overhead hit to the volume. I'm still trying to find a LRMDC2306S that I can see in person somewhere, but I suspect I'll end up with one of the other models. The KitchenAid is quite fancy and has nifty wood-look accents inside, but the LG makes "craft ice" (2" diameter clear ice spheres) which simultaneously seem like a ridiculous gimmick and also something I really want in my life even though I almost never use ice.

I like cooking and gardening. I like both the planning and shopping phases of both those things. I like learning new recipes and finding new, beautiful plants to try to grow. I like watching a lot of TV too. A lot of people find that to be a waste of time, but I disagree. TV and YouTube taught me HOW to cook and how to garden. I also find it the best way to relax and tune out the stress of life, when I have any, which is rare. I like coming to the KT and Cooking forum. I like planning, shopping for, and executing my Holiday decorations, though I am not a fan of taking them down... At the present moment, I would rather not waste one more second of my precious, finite life doing these RIDICULOUS and STUPID waste of time courses/tests my employer keeps sending to me to do. They sent me 7 at once, I logged on and did them all, swearing all the way, as again, I find them STUPID. I am the type of person who likes to rip the band aid off, so to speak, and get stupid yet mandatory wastes of time over with. Once I got done with those 7, they promptly sent me11 more to complete. ELEVEN MORE!!! I mean, I am a full grown adult of average intelligence, I do not need a formal course and test to know that if I see someone bleeding profusely, its best not to go roll around in it, or go grab a handful of their blood and rub it into my eyes. None of these courses apply to me. I do not work with chemicals, electricity, in confined or elevated places, use tools, need any sort of PPE and am not certified in CPR. I also do not need a course to tell me that if a fire breaks out, I should probably leave the area and let the properly trained people to put it out. I do not accept or deal with chemical shipments so I do not NEED to sit through a 2 hour long video about how to read the SDS sheet or placards. I don't deal with them, WHY SHOULD I CARE!?!?!? I really really hate them and if I EVER find out who is behind them they will get an EARFUL from me. MY supervisor knows who they are but will not tell me. I suppose he knows that they are the type who do not like to be told the truth. And they are the type of people who have no life, no love, no light and so they must sit around and come up with useless garbage for normal people to have to do in order to waste their life and make them miserable like they are. Oh, I also like to read floofly historical romance novels and play those adventure/hidden object/mystery games on my kindle. I prefer ones with fairy tale or fantasy themes. And I do not like doing car stuff. I leave that to the resident man, he likes it.
