Has anyone got any bread pudding?

 

[TJGoSurf]

Did my good deed. When you explain to people that feral cats only live about two years suddenly you're not such a dick to feed them.

 

[wyndslash]

aww.

mike: none here

 

[TJGoSurf]

Ugh, I really dislike people killing snakes. One of the new rig hands killed a 5' rattlesnake. Poor little guy. He was just doing snake stuff. I tell them if they find one call me I will come get him.

 

[mikedt]

aww.

mike: none here

Think I will have a go at making some bread pudding next week. Introduce the neighbours to it. :thumb:

it's raining really hard here.

*waves to everyone*

i'm thinking of getting a chromebook~

 

[mikedt]

I don't think there are any feral cats in Heilongjiang.

<--- Waves to Wynd and TJ. ....hello.

Weird how that works.

I love having new guys from Texas. They have no idea what winter is like here. I love winters here but that first cold snap always catches me. I'll be sipping water outside set my bottle on the truck. Come back 5 minutes later and it's frozen.

 

[wyndslash]

I'd die in winter

During blizzards I coat my outer layer with water to keep out the wind.

Curious

 

[TJGoSurf]

Outer layer freezes. I'm normally dealing with below zero temperatures

We only got a few more weeks of summer, then a short autumn/fall, and by end of November it will be -30C. Very hot summers, very cold winters, that's how it is in the Gobi Desert.

 

[wyndslash]

No winters here. Just consistent heat and sometimes flooding

 

[wyndslash]

It's still raining. It didn't stop the whole night

 

[sfbloodbrother]

I actually have only been into McDonalds 2-3 times for breakfast. Never am up in time for the breakfast. And I work there haha

Lol. I'd imagine you'd be pretty sick of it then

Oh, I try not to eat the food. Only because I know what's in there. If I do, I get a salad or a smoothie.

 

[wyndslash]

I'm trying to cut down on my fast food consumption too

That's good. The good thing now is, now that I started school, I have reason to ride my bike more often. That's a total of 42 miles a week!
And 672 miles this semester!
And 1344 miles for the whole year! Omg Imma get swoll. I don't have a car, even if I did, I ain't got money for gas. Haha, these books...

I love how this thread has become an insomnia thread.

I remember one of my physics books was $750. GI Bill needs to account for that. I only got$1000 for books that year

 

[wyndslash]

Academic books are a money sink

Who on the right mind would pay that for a book.

 

[TJGoSurf]

The guy that needs to get through that required class.

Good point. But that much is worth more than about 2 of my courses. I bet that publisher is pretty wealthy.
