+JMJ+ Linden isn't a credible female character. She's a whiner. She embodies so many negative female stereotypes that she's a caricature. But hey, thanks for noting my lack of insight, empathy and intuition in such a passive-aggressive way. I'm sorry to hear that you're not diggin' Linden. Dig deep....

+JMJ+ People speak of Linden as if she's some sort of afterthought. Inasmuch as everything after 1st Chrons is an afterthought, then yeah, I s'pose so. But that's about as far as that goes. Linden is integral. It takes a lot of insight, empathy and intuition for a man to write credible female charac...

Good on ya, mate! Last Chronicles is da bomb.

+JMJ+ It was obvious to me that SRD inverted/recanted his previously held 'good cannot be accomplished through evil means' philosophy … TC as the book progresses shows that he has realized that it will require some 'evil' deeds to achieve good and as he did those things, he was actually accepting th...

The Gap: TRS - SRD

Likin' it. The writing is usual SRD quality but refreshingly different in narrative style.

Starbucks Tribute Blend 2014; Syphon brewed

+JMJ+ The first Chronicles is elegant in it's simplicity, and so beautiful. The Second Chronicles is breathtaking in it's majesty, and so is beautiful. The Third Chronicles is mesmerizing in it's complexity, and so is beautiful. Who could pick a favorite? Wosbald, what characters or scenes did you f...

Studies show that studies show pretty much anything you want them to.

+JMJ+ Once the filter is attached, it is never to be taken off until it is time to replace the filter with a fresh one. One can discount any advice to tie the filter cloth loosely such that it can be removed from the plug in order to be washed, scrubbed, oxy-cleaned or otherwise manhandled. With a C...

+JMJ+ You do this when you wake up ? :faint: I can do it bleary-eyed, no prob. However, I do also have the advantage of using a 1950's, chromed copper, electric vac pot (gotten at Goodwill) which has the advantage of withstanding the occasional bleary-eyed bump better than glass ones might. But even...

It's actually far easier than writing out the steps makes it sound. If it wasn't for the cleanup, it would be a snap.

CLICK.

+JMJ+ The Coffee Syphon is, quite simply, the enthusiast's brewer. It combines the advantages of the French Press, the Filter Drip and the Percolator into a single, elegant, finicky and (if, as is typical, made of glass) fragile device. Like the French Press, it is a Full-Immersion Brewer. This mean...

Arabesque

+JMJ+ For some reason, posts keep getting pruned from this thread, and I can only assume that the reason (aside from OT posts) is that quote sources aren't being cited. Yeah, I never saw They Live, and have done my best to forget Predator. I also didn't know what the +JMJ+ thing was, so I just figur...
