I usually go to the West Indian Day Parade in Brooklyn. They have this parade in Miami and Boston, too, I think.

I watch it from the fire escape of my Aunt's apartment or I join in. But not without friends or my bf to Booty-Guard me. You can't stand still without some drunken guy taking the opportunity to grind on your ass. I felt my first erection at the Carnival years ago. Yeah...
Or I go to a barbecue.

I'm the only one in the house with a job (standing on my feet no less) and I'm the one made to do chores around the house. I realise I pay no rent and still live with my parents, but jeeze.
How do you deal with terrible knee, hip, back, and feet pain? I've tried heating pads and slews of over the counter pain meds, but standing on my feet all day just makes me hurt for two or three days. I can't even sleep in my bed; I have to sleep in a recliner on days that I work.

Art connoisseurs, help!
The color is also a main component in center of an (Indian Peafowl) peacock plume and some Irises, Wisteria, Hydrangeas and Orchids carry the shade.
I'm not an art major so I know very little about color, hue or pigment; I've been trying for years to place the exact color name but it's always fallen into a "know it when I see it" space. I know it's not Indigo, Azurite, Egyptian blue or Prussian blue because it has more of a purple base. Does anyone know the technical name for the color/pigment I'm speaking of?

Let's suppose that in the 2012 Presidental Election that the GOP selected Romney to represent the Republican party, thus marginalizing Sarah Palin and her legion of Teabaggers. Sarah then decides to run as a third party: the Tea Party, and picks Larry the Cable Guy, er, I mean Joe the Plumber as her running mate. The nation scoffs, but due to national apathy, neither primary party generates a great deal of votes from their base, as the economy and Afghanistan have rendered the nation depressed about the future. Palin's supporters, fanatical and unyielding as a pitbull, vote en masse and every last person who doesn't understand how taxes work votes for Palin and she beats out the Obama and Romney and becomes President. You imagining that? Ok. The question here is: which country would you move to?
Palin's first act as president is to stop all gay marriage, gays in the military, and gays on Project Runway (only judges who support bonnets and full length skirts). The GOP-majority Congress (major turnover of seats in 2010) back her up all the way and the Democrat senators are too disorganized to know what to be angry at first and fail to stop Sarah's anti-gay ambitions. Next, in order to stop the 'homosexual agenda' from converting our kids to sin, she makes it illegal for gays to teach, hold public office or purchase property. Since she can't tell who's gay, the only acid test out there is marriage. Only married people are fer sure straight and only they can teach, hold office or purchase property. All unmarried people lose their rights. What do you do?
Next on the chopping block are welfare, unemployment and any other 'handout program'. All benefits are cut so the illegals can't make any money off Uncle Sam. If you need money, the only outlet is: JOIN THE ARMY. All benefits are not only reinstated, but you get subsidized housing, courtesy of the U.S. Military. All those who can't pay go to Debtor's prison and now that the army has more bodies than ever, the U.S. is going to war against Iran. How does this affect you?
In order to fund these wars, Palin authorizes...no, demands drilling in every national park and wetland out there. Nothing is protected or off-limits. This drilling gambit pays off and dozens of key oil sites are discovered and America is rolling in black gold. Palin leans on our allies heavily and makes them buy their oil from us. To celebrate this abundance of oil, Ford and the other American auto makers discontinue all their lines except SUVs, which are suddenly in high demand. SUVs are now everywhere and given Palin's recent repeal of all environmental laws, the skies grow dark with smog. What color will your SUV be?

Extra!
Now that we're not talking and I've thought it over I really don't want to do it. It's 12 hours in a soggy field in a dress with bugs. She's under the impression that I'll go but I'm pretty sure she only wanted to "hang out" because she needs a ride there/back. We are friends and we do hang out on occasion when we're able to but she is clearly using me in this situation.
What should I do?! I wouldn't mind seeing her and chatting for a while and I like driving so I'd be okay with dropping her off and even picking her up. Is this acceptable? Even though I'm being used I didn't say 'no' so I kind of feel bad about not wanting to be an extra.

What advice could you give for someone who is interested in trying out a sort of "X Weeks Veg*n Challenge" thing, to see if they can save money on groceries/eat healthier? Especially if said person adores eating meat.
I'm interested in doing this mainly just to see how long I can go for without eating meat/some meat by product; I will most likely continue to drink milk (because soy/rice/etc. milk makes me vom), eggs (my mom hooks me up with organic eggs, ch'yeaaaah!) and the occasional seafood product. And if it can save me some $$ or make me less of a fatass, all the more better.
What are your favourite veg*n or meatless recipes?
How awesome are crock pots, srsly?
