Yes, this is New York:
Kinga Stala portrays an 1820’s victorian era woman as she waits in the snow for visitors outside the Guyon Lake Tysen farmhouse at Richmond Town in the Staten Island borough of New York during a holiday lantern tour of the historic dutch village. (nyp)
I wrote this on my PEDS test when I came upon those 10 questions.
Sure, the answer is IDEA. But is it PART B or PART C? *headdesk*
Penny and Beverly (Leonard’s Mom) are doing shots at a bar in episode 3x11, “The Maternal Congruence,” of The Big Bang Theory.
Penny: Now this time try drinking it all at once.
Beverly: *does shot* Ah! Yikes!
Penny: I’ve been responsible for my own buzz since 2003. *calls to the bartender* Another round for me and my homegirl!
Beverly: I feel a spreading warmth through my extremities. [I must be experiencing ethanol-induced vasodilation, resulting in an increased rate of blood flow raising my peripheral skin temperatures. Fascinating.]
Penny: As long as you don’t feel it running down your pants you’re fine.
Penny and Beverly clink glasses.
Captain Obvious: [text] = what I expected her to add. =/

Is there a more minimizing word than insignificant? Because that would be us.

Hopefully, this will be me over Christmas break. I’m going to have a real kitchen again! :D
A follow-up to my earlier post.
Modest Needs - They offer one-time grants to people who are faced with short-term emergency expenses. I like that the money will be put to immediate use.
Ali Forney Center - They offer housing and vocational training to LGBT homeless youth, and they’re local. I like that their donation page spells out what they need/want in terms of donations.
Meals on Wheels - Feeding seniors and the sick is especially important during the winter months when it’s even less likely these folks will be able to go out. They offer critical services to people who would be otherwise unable to care for themselves.
Kiva - Micro loans are such an interesting premise, and I like that the tney could be reused for the same purpose indefinitely. However, it looks like a much bigger time investment than the other two.
Any opinions?
I’m going home for Christmas and my folks will want us all to go to church (Roman Catholic). I protest, but it never goes over well. This year I will ask that all money that would go to the church be given to the charity of my choice in return for my attendance at mass. I need some nice “gay-commie-pinko-liberal” good works groups that could use some money this holiday season.
