I hear ya. Well, just keep it in mind to ask about the next time you need to go in for something more pressing, and don't put it off forever. Especially since you have money and coverage now. That will probably change if Twittler and his Rethuglicans stay in power. I'm mostly English (see practically the entire royal family), Scots and German. Being female, I don't have to worry about the nose thing, but I recently read that 30% of women with rosacea end up suffering from hair loss too, so yay oh boy. My dad had pattern baldness and my mom's got so thin she wore a wig. When mine all falls out, I think I'll just let people assume I'm undergoing chemo...

More likely rosacea, which can be triggered by sun damage as well as genetics (British isles and northern European especially). Which I recently learned is one of the things fucking up my eyes (don't know why none of my other eye doctors figured that out. Probably because they weren't listening to any of my complaints), so you might want to get that checked out. It'll just get worse as you get older, and since you're a guy you could end up with W.C. Fields nose if you leave it alone.

Oh man, how did I forget to list Laura Nyro? ::lists Laura Nyro::

(English lyrics at top)

That's a hard question! Their music changes so much over the years. I guess Wheatfield Soul is a good place to start, since that's the album Cummings was the lead without Chad Allan. It's got "These Eyes" on it, and some kinda off-the-wall stuff, but I think might favorite song on that album is "Lightfoot." About Gordon Lightfoot. Really nice guitar work on it. The album has a bunch of super mellow pop songs, but others that sound like Cream, with their weird chord progressions, or The Doors, with the moody tone, or even The Beatles with odd little stories (like "Maple Fudge"). Lots of other influences too. But Cummings voice is worth listening to through all of them, even if you find the song weird. Canned Wheat is more like their style in "American Woman," with stuff like "Undun" and "No Time" (also on American Woman), which I'm sure you've heard. Even though Share the Land did really well for them, I think they started going downhill a little after American Woman, since Randy Bachman also moved on after that album. But again, I mostly listen to them for Cumming's vocals, so ymmv as to the music.

My dentist is pretty good, but she keeps making fun of me because I can't keep my tongue out of the way. It's always like, "Whatcha doin' over there, huh? Lemme see! Lemme see!" :pokepoke:

Upload when?

Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin, David Bowie, Stevie Nicks, Cris Williamson, Paul Rodgers (Bad Company), Stephen Stills, Brian Protheroe, Burton Cummings (The Guess Who), Ann Wilson (Heart), Grace Slick, Lenny Zakatek (Alan Parsons Project), Pointer Sisters (all of 'em). That's a couple generations. I could do this all night.

Is this how you measure time now?

So now you have lactose-free buttermilk. Make some pancakes.

What is that thing on wheels with the park bench at the top of a ladder? Why is it there? Why is it on wheels? oO

Clannad is high school, until After Story. Bebop and Ergo Proxy somehow don't strike me as focusing around real world issues, but I guess ymmv. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

yw. Bartender eps are up on YouTube, and not even crushed or sound fragged. (this review from a bartender is fun too) You're on your own for the others. Can't believe I forgot Ojisan to Marshmallow. I second panic's rec. It's also a short, and it's pretty funny.

Fuck you, Mix. Now I've got that stupid song stuck in my head.

If you look around, you'll find that French phrase is almost always translated as "still waters run deep." The literal translation though doesn't mean, "no water" as in not having any water, but rather "there are no waters worse (more dangerous) than quiet waters," because deeper water in a river will often have dangerous currents while appearing calm on the surface, while shallow water will have eddies and white water so you can see what the current is like and avoid crossing if it's too strong. Shakespeare said, "Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep, And in his simple show he harbors treason... No, no, my sovereign, Gloucester is a man Unsounded yet and full of deep deceit." Also this fable: "A Country-man that was to pass a River, sounded it up and down to try where it was most fordable: and upon Trial he made this Observation on't: Where the Water ran Smooth, he found it Deepest; and on the contrary, Shallowest where it made most Noise. There's More Danger in a Reserv'd and Silent, than in a Noisy, Babbling Enemy." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Still_waters_run_deep

Bartender, where a bartender makes drinks and heals the souls of his troubled patrons, while educating you on the minutiae of cocktails. Not much romance, but it's pretty interesting and iyashikei. In a similar vein, Jeweler Richard, except with gems (ANN described it as like Mushi-Shi but with more bling ). Airing this season, it's already a favorite for me. Plus Takahiro Sakurai as Richard is perfection. And Gallery Fake, except with forged artworks. This one's not iyashikei though, and it does have some comic romance sort of. An older title, but still good. If you liked Wotakoi, you'll probably also like Recovery of an MMO Junkie. Definitely romance, with working, if not always functional, adults. Hataraki Man, by Moyoco Anno (Hideaki's wife), is also working adults, but despite the title, it's about a working woman. Seems exactly like what you're looking for, and it's very good. Speaking of Moyoco, you might also enjoy her comic short Insufficient Direction, about her life with Hideaki. It's hilarious and weird. Salaryman Kintaro is ok. About a former biker gang leader who quits to get a job to support his kid after his wife dies. As you might expect, it's not really realistic, but it's kinda fun. If you haven't seen Koi Kaze, I'd recommend that too. Real world problems (though not ones you'd normally run into probably ;)) handled fairly realistically, rather than voyeuristically. I'd also recommend the dub, which is excellent. It's just fascinating watching this guy self-destruct over a situation he never intended to find himself in.

As much as I hate to say it, we might not be out of the woods on that just yet. What Aoyama carved into the rock was, "il n'est pire eau que l'eau qui dort," (no water is worse than quiet water) or the equivalent of "still waters run deep." The English version has somehow taken on a meaning of quiet people having unsuspected depth, in a positive sense, but the original meaning had more to do with the dangers of deep water currents, and the hidden treachery of people who appear benign. Not sure if that might be hinting that Deku's "true colors" comment is more on the mark than it appears. Or it could just be Aoyama using the saying in the more benign modern usage, I hope... (I'll be terribly distraught if they turn Aoyama into a villain. )

So the top 4 stars are brunettes? Is the supremacy of blondes over with, outside of the Faux Snooze anchor bubble?
