Cute kids. Well, not so sure about the bionicle because of the mask. Nice costumes. I'm jealous of your kids. My parents could never really be bothered to make/buy costumes for us.

Reply to It's Autumn! Time for Nabe! in Cooking JoeUser Forums

Actually, upon further thinking about this, I came up with another issue. To make nabe, you usually have a small partable gas burner on your dinner table. The burner is powered by a can of gas. Personally, I think that using these in a restaurant in the US would be opening one's self up to a bevy of litigation. There's always going to be some stupid who has to put his chopsticks in the fire no matter where you go. I've heard some

Skimming the forum headings I originally thought this said "Time for DABE." lol and it wasn't so. I wonder why the local Japanese restaurants do not serve it. <

It's Autumn! Time for Nabe! in Cooking JoeUser Forums

Finally the weather has cooled off enough that I need to wear a sweater. It's still nice enough that a sweater in the evenings is enough to keep toasty. The leaves haven't started to change color yet in Tokyo. Apparently, it's in full swing up in Nikko. Maybe I will get to take a train ride and check it out next week. But with the cooler weather, two of m

Reply to "Buffy" and "Angel" in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

I really liked "Band Candy" and then a couple of episodes later when Buffy mentions in passing that she knows Giles slept with her mom. Maybe that episode "I Only Have Eyes for You" where Buffy and Angelus are possessed by ghosts and re-enact an old murder and resolve the spirits' turmoil. The switched gender and the passion the enact while each other's enemy was really moving. I actually cried. Then when Angelus was washing the "stink" of love off of himself. Very interesting.

Reply to Who's Your Vampire Personality? in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Loca, I've got no idea who Marius is either. Maybe he is on Blade the TV series? I only got to watch that show once this summer before going back to Tokyo and the whole time I was watching my mom kept saying, "how can you watch that violence?" every five minutes. I told her she should watch some muy thai kickboxing if she really wanted to see violence. She was non-plussed.

You scored as Dracula . You are the smooth sexy cool Dracula. Patient and lustful. If you were any cooler youd be ice. Great style with a way of seducing those around you. And three brides who wouldn't want to be him. Dracula <

Reply to She doesn't like me - as if! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I love your blogs, FS. I didn't think you're open letter was too uppity. I thought it was tongue-in-cheek. However, there are people who just don't get TIC or sarcasm. There are times that I don't get it either. Oh, well. Whatcha gonna do? Ah, well. You know what to do if they can't take a joke.

Reply to Why Women dress like Sluts in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I actually read that study on Yahoo a couple of days ago. I think it's true, but the article didn't use the word "slutty" and to use that word is simply to sensationalize the article. Women tend to want to look nicer and sexier (which doesn't have to mean slutty) when ovulating. I read somewhere that women's pheromones are spread by smell (airborne?) while men tend to get there's around through physical touch. This could be a reason that revealing skin happens around that point in th

Reply to More Gender Bias: Woman Assaults Husband With an Axe in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Xythe, what is the real purpose of your article? I'm really curious. These drop in the bucket examples of women perpertrating violence towards men does NOTHING to address the issue of domestic violence and the acceptance of violence against women in society. Both genders commit violence. If that is your point, then fine. If I bothered, I could probably find a lot of instances where a man did something as equally horrible to another woman a

Do people bend to this peer pressure thing that easily? Yes, they do. Like willows on a windy day. I have no problems with the teaching of abstinence. I don't think they wait till you're married part is as important as the waiting til you're older. Maybe at 11-13 years old it's easier to sa

Reply to Fighting with your Partner in Life JoeUser Forums

I'm mostly of the school that fights are really about something else not the topic of the fight. Often, a fight is based on the final straw-- a build up of some problem that has been going on; or it's about the fact that a person can't really express the frustration they feel. Kinda like Tova's crunching complaints! Tova... I totally understand the crunching thing (especially if it's not about the crunching <img src="http://images.stardock.com/ju/T_JU/smiles/Wink.gif"
