Update.
The room is cool.
The landlord who pays the bills seemed to have put the thermostat back to 70.
I heard him putting this women in her place.

Maybe she reacted the way she did because she knew she wasn't supposed to raise the thermostat that high so she was super touchy by your simple question.

I was trying to establish how warm the house was to know where to adjust the vents.
If it was 75 degrees Halfway.
If she set it at 80 I would close my vent

Did you mention that part to her? I don't know, it just sounds like there was some miscommunication. Maybe when you said "how warm" she thought you meant it in a passive aggressive way, like "OMG HOW WARM DID YOU PUT IT YOU CRAZY COLD BLOODED THINGIE."

I don't know, sometimes people see subtext where there isn't any.

What does it mean when you look into someoneโ€™s eyes and feel something and is that even possible?

eye contact is nice. Especially when you have a big crush on those specific eyes.

What does it mean if a gal who is crazy about you all of a sudden gets real distant very quiet and mysterious?

I wanst trying to play semantics, you gotta realize that people from all walks of life come on here and not all of them are taking their prescribed meds so additional clarity can often solve a person's query before too much ink is spilt over it.

Why would your boss start being rude to you all of a sudden?

I would confront her as calmly and gently as possible. If that does not work, ask yourself how much you like or need your job. If not so much, start looking for someplace else to work. If want to stay there long term, you should contact the HR department. Tell them that what your boss is doing and ask them what they think you should do about it. It seems like a drastic step but if it is really stressing you and you want to stay there, that is your only recourse. Its your boss' literal job to make you as comfortable and productive in your job as possible. They need to pull their weight.

So you're in a committed relationship where you don't go on dates?

Why do we love roman and greek mythology?

Because there is so much of it, and it is so graphic. A search for a single word, the name of any mythical god, finds many pages of images and stories.

You don't have to read many pages in history to realize that the sky above the Earth looked very different just a few thousand years ago. You might wonder why the ancients named their god after a planet that most people now can't even point to. Well, they were quite explicit about that: they didn't worship gods named for planets, they worshiped the planets. In ancient days, Jupiter and Saturn dominated the sky, and Venus and Mars put on quite a show for a long time.

Here is a careful investigation of ancient myths and legends, considering stories in hundreds of languages from all over the world and going back to 10,500 BC. It is very long, and it is still in progress. www.saturniancosmology.org/

For an article that makes a lot of claims about mythology i did not see any specific mythes mentioned when skimming through.

Why do we love roman and greek mythology?

There is a belief that these stories are so old and have survived so long that there must be some immortal kernel of truth about the human condition buried in each of them. So we humans borrow from them as a way of ensuring whatever story we are writing has that deep resonance it may not otherwise have.

Also mythology is just mad cool yo!


The Holocaust was pretty bad and relatively recent in history. Stuff like that tends to carry quite a bit of emotional momentum, especially since there are people who survived it still alive today (I think?) Also the shock of it happening in a "modern", technologically-advanced, and supposedly "enlightened" nation. Us white people are just a lot less impressed when the bad stuff happens in a third world country, sadly.

Two questions.

Second question answer. A good food processor is needed. Not a blender. Get the most powerful motor you can. Nothing under 720 watts is preferred. 1200 is Best. Make small batches at a time storing it in the refrigerator. Occasionally you can find commercial grade machines on eBay.

Is there a specific model that you like?
