statsgirl February 14, 2018 Share February 14, 2018 I can see Oliver brewing his own ... and coming up with creative ways to use it in cooking. There are some good videos on how to brew your own, you can even buy your own SCOBY (symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast). I think I'll try it first though and see if I like the taste. 1 Link to comment
Mellowyellow February 14, 2018 Share February 14, 2018 I can see him convincing Felicity to drink it instead of soda. Just as fizzy he'll say and she'll scrunch her face up and reach for a soda. Then he'll bring it to Ray and they'll bond over how awesome it is and he gives Ray a scoby. Ray brews it but forgets to burp the bottles and they blow up giving Mick a fright during his visit. It's too fermented for me. Hehe I make my yoghurt with condensed milk to mask the yoghurt taste. Lol we've been calling it Scooby all this time!!!! I'll tell her? 2 Link to comment

Delphi February 14, 2018 Share February 14, 2018 I hate kombucha, and also hate valentines day, we think it's too manufactured. But me and the boy defintely go around the half week after finding cheap candy for each other once its over. We're saving to buy a house, so not this year, butt also because we plan on buying a house and that's not cheap. Any advise for first time us buyers with no money or capital? I'd love advice.

My second, wait, it seems like some key pieces are missing from the article. One, I don’t really get that Thomas was bisexual from the article itself. Henry, yes. But if Thomas was, there are steps missing here. Also, what did he do after Henry passed, just abandoned everyone? Not really cool, dude. 1 Link to comment

I guess me and my siblings were the weird ones, we loved vegetables as kids, we always wanted a salad or roasted or stir fried veggies with whatever meal we were having. We even wanted carrot and cucumber sticks as a snack and I would eat tomatoes like apples. I know my sister was 7 she got strange looks from her friends parents when she wanted the steak and vegetables the adults were having over microwaved chicken nuggets or PB&J sandwiches her friends were having. That's probably why we rarely ever got sick growing up. Edited February 14, 2018 by Sakura12 1 Link to comment

Also make sure you have extra money for closing costs, you may be able to get the seller to cover some and if your lucky all of it. I would have the extra money just in case. 1 Link to comment

Don't let you're realator or mortgage company talk you into an interest only loan. Basically the first 3-5 years you only pay towards the interest. It's a lower monthly payment which they use to try and convince you to buy a bigger house (spend more money). In the end you're not paying off any of the principle and in a few years your payment balloons up or you have to refinance which of course, costs more money in fees etc. Edited February 14, 2018 by Morrigan2575 1 Link to comment
statsgirl February 14, 2018 Share February 14, 2018 A small house or fixer upper in a good area is better value than a bigger house in a sketchy area. Also be aware of how long your commute to work is going to be. Mine is an hour each way at best, up to two hours if it's bad and that's ten hours a week of pretty much wasted time. Some people here have a two hour commute each way. I like houses I can fix up rather than ones that are finished and cost more because then I can do it as I like but that's not for everyone. 4 hours ago, bijoux said: Also, what did he do after Henry passed, just abandoned everyone?

Mellowyellow February 14, 2018 Share February 14, 2018 I'd also price in a few interest rate rises and potential job loss. You want to be able to weather a few interest rate rises should they happen and you want enough funds to still pay the mortgage even if one of you suddenly lost your jobs. Sorry I'm a financial pessimist! Also do you want to have kids one day? Not sure how it works in the US but school zones are really important here and you want to be in the same zone as a good local school in case you decide to send them to public school. 2 Link to comment
BkWurm1 February 15, 2018 Share February 15, 2018 If you are looking at a fixer upper, you might check to see if you can finance the cost of the renovation as well. 1 Link to comment

tv echo February 18, 2018 Share February 18, 2018 (edited) FYI... ‘Roswell’ Reboot Pilot Casts Jeanine Mason as Lead Ashley Boucher | Last Updated: February 16, 2018 @ 5:43 PMhttps://www.thewrap.com/jeanine-mason-cast-as-lead-in-roswell-reboot/ Quote “So You Think You Can Dance” winner and “Grey’s Anatomy” regular Jeanine Mason has been cast as the lead in The CW’s “Roswell” reboot, Warner Brothers said Friday. The casting news comes shortly after The CW announced Julie Plec will direct the pilot. If the network picks up the series, Plec — who co-created “The Vampire Diaries” and “The Originals” — will stay on to executive produce. The pilot will follow Liz Ortecho, a biomedical researcher and the daughter of undocumented immigrants, who returns to her touristy hometown of Roswell, New Mexico, where she discovers that her high school crush-turned-police officer is actually an alien who has been hiding his other-worldly abilities for years. She agrees to keep his secret and the two reconnect, but a violent attack stands to expose him and disrupt their growing love. * * *Carina Adly MacKenzie wrote the pilot, based on the “Roswell High” book series by Melinda Metz that also inspired the Jason Katims show that ran from 1999-2002 on The WB and UPN. Justin Falvey, Darryl Frank, Lawrence Bender and Kevin Kelly Brown will also executive produce alongside Plec. Brown was an executive producer on the original series.

SleepDeprived February 19, 2018 Share February 19, 2018 Hello. I have a question that I just keep wondering about... Dear Canada, what in the sexy/hot heck is up with Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir? I know, I know. They're not together. They've been friends for 20 years, they're partners, their relationship is complicated but... are they sure they're really not a thing?!? That short program was super sexay and their Moulin Rouge free dance was steamy during the team event (they were almost literally figuratively sexing each other up on the ice). Lol. This two always make me wonder every Olympics and, actually, whenever I see any ice dancing routine of theirs. Haha... Man, Canadians and their crazy amazing chemistry with each other cause me so much confusion... @ Canada, explain?!? 7 Link to comment

Mellowyellow February 19, 2018 Share February 19, 2018 Hehe I've seen stuff on the internet about "Platonic Canadians" that is hilarious. VirtueMoir have Olicity chemistry on ice! Hopefully they can overcome the sketchy judging and win gold. I also like the super cheerful looking siblings! They are as cute as pie. So adorable. Totally my cup of tea. Link to comment
tv echo February 19, 2018 Share February 19, 2018 (edited) I stumbled across this video and thought it was interesting, esp. since David Rapaport once said that he originally envisioned casting Arrow as a TVD-type trio package with SA, KC and CD. The major difference, of course, is that, on TVD, Elena (ND) was cast first before the two brothers and that trio remained with the show until the end, while on Arrow, SA was cast first and he quickly became the solo focus of the show...

I've read that Virtue/Moir may be retiring and this will be their last skate at the Olympics so I'm a little disappointed that the ending kiss/love declarations in the middle of the ice as the crowd roared didn't happen like The Cutting Edge made me believe it would.

statsgirl February 20, 2018 Share February 20, 2018 (edited) The CBC ran a montage of previous years of Tessa and Scott after their win and so much cuteness when they were kids! (She was 8 and he was 10 when they were teamed up.) Then there was an interview with a teenage Scott who said that sometimes he thinks he doesn't have the strength to do it but he'll do it for Tessa. The commentator, Kurt Browning, said that when they finished in 2010, Scott turned to Tessa and said "We didn't do it" and she replied "That's okay", and then he shouted "WE WON THE GOLD!" They were on one of those reality shows a few years ago. Scott was dating someone but Tessa said that she didn't want to date until she retired from ice dancing because all her attention and energy went toward that.
