Where could I get some dried orange and lemon peels that are suitable for food use? Is there any particular cuisine that would make use of them?

I need them to make mulled wine, and I don't want to waste a bunch of oranges and lemons.

dancers falling through floor video [Nov. 22nd, 2005|01:44 am]
The Question Club

[ccnuggie]
I just saw the craziest video. It was of this dance, with a LOT of people, and the floor just caves in and they all fall into this huge whole. It is insane...no gore or anything in the video.

The video can be viewed here: http://www.gkko.com/extreme-videos/297/dancers-fall-through-floor/

My question is: Does anyone know of this incident? I don't know how old it is and I did some searching on google but couldn't find any story about it. It's a pretty scary video so hopefully someone here knows something about it.

Thanks.

My boyfriend's mom has been dating this guy for the last two years (or less). They're now engaged.

Problem is, he's borderline sexually harassed me twice already.

(Edit: Fine. Said creepy ass shit to me with sexual undertones. Happy?)

( Read more...Collapse )

I tried talking to his mom about the first incident. He was able to talk himself out of it.

(My boyfriend seems to be neutral - perhaps apathetic, perhaps informedly- about everything.)

Can I let them be married with my conscience clear? I'm assuming that I'll be at the wedding, and the person marrying them will say "Speak now or forever hold your peace".

So I'm looking into various graduate programs, and a lot of the websites talk about "previous work experience".

What exactly does that mean? Is that work experience as in having a job to get you through school, or a job actually related to the field in which you are studying?

1. Can someone explain how Wi-Fi works? Is it just you have a wireless card in the computer, it searches for a signal and jumps on that?

2. If a person goes on 'stress leave', upon recommendation from a doctor with the appropriate documentation, and the company fires the employee because they think she's working another job (but don't have proof), is that grounds for wrongful dismissal?

3. I'm leaving my job of 2.5 years for a new job. It's no secret, my supervisor is really behind me on it and everything. I was going to get a thank you card for my supervisor and the site manager (who was my old supervisor). Is that cheesy?

Pie Question: High Altitude? [Nov. 22nd, 2005|03:52 pm]
The Question Club

thequestionclub
[wolfteaparty]
[mood |blahblah]
[music |Flogging Molly - Devil's Dance Floor]

I'm going to be making pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving. I've never made a pumpkin pie by myself before, so I'm a bit afraid of somehow screwing up.

I live at a high altitude. Most things that you bake have high altitude directions, which usually involve adding some extra ingredient... if you don't follow these directions, whatever you bake will be ruined. However, the pie mix and pre-made Marie Callender's pie shells have no high altitude directions.

So my question is this: when baking pies, do you have to do anything differently, depending on altitude, or does it not matter?

Oh, another question. Am I the only one who doesn't like pie? I never cared for pie because of its slimy, varying textures. Pumpkin pie is too rich/sweet/slimy/clammy, and I don't like how you bite through the slime and suddenly hit a hard crust. Same with most other kinds of pies. So I probably won't have a single slice of these pies I'm making.

5. Do you find that you dream more when certain things are happening in your life? Stress, time of the month, moon cycle, travelling, being pregnant...? I've had crazy vivid dreams lately.

Hi everyone!

I have a question about Grad school recommendation letters.

I told my Professors that they have a month to turn them in. Which would mean they would turn them in around mid-December... but I was talking to the Assistant Director of Admissions at the school I'm applying, and she said that it would be better if they sent them earlier.

Would it be horrible if I told my professors that they have to turn them in earlier? Do you think they'd be angry? What would be the best way to tell them?

Thanks to everyone who replies!

For those of you who are of the Pagan persuasion... ;o)

If a friend of yours who is not pagan were to send you a pagan holiday card (for Yule, for example) that celebrates a holiday you are observing this season, would you be offended or upset? What if said friend sent you a Christmas card, knowing you're pagan?

I know I could always send a "happy holidays" generic card, but I'm trying to be a bit more personal than that this year. Any thoughts/input are appreciated. :o)

I know you all probably hate these gift posts, but it's worth a try.

I'm looking for something for a guuy that's very into history, especially reenacting in the 1812 War, and into tallships as well. I don't want to get him a book, clothing, or music, but I want something quirky and fun.

EDIT: I have a price limit of about $50. He's also looking to collect old rifles/muskets. He has a Brown Bess (2nd Short Land Pattern), but I don't want to buy him another weapon as I think it's a little too over the top, and I haven't got a clue as to what he wants.
