Hey Chris, you have said several times that you do not believe the previous woman when she tells you that you crowded her, and you think it must be the other guy or "something else" etc.
I have to tell you, that if you had been contacting me repeatedly, as you put it "I was apparently over crowding but I made it very clear in person, in Facebook messages, and in text messages how I felt about her" I would have felt crowded too. You had only had two dates? Too much too soon. Yes, you were reacting naturally and so on, but part of dating is keeping rein on one's behavior and giving yourself and the other person time to get to know eachother, even if you are feeling very keen on the other person.
I say this as someone who has been called and texted on a daily (or more) basis by a first date person - it did not make him seem keen, it made him seem needy and desperate for a relationship with ANYONE, not necessarily me.
Sublevelthree said some very good things on this issue, and I urge you to keep them in mind.
I really do wish you well, it is hell out here trying to navigate the dating shoals, but slowly and carefully is a good idea.

I figured it was likely an aesthetic thing, but thought that the writers may have ret-conned an internal explanation.

Thanks. For your trouble I point you to:

Thanks. As you noted, it does not explain *why*.
I wonder if it was b/c the security personnel staged a sort of coup and deposed the effete officer class with a more security minded regime?
Looking at the Wiki article it seems that the red/burgundy crept in at the Wrath of Khan stage. Not that that means anything to me, I will have to watch it again.
As you can see, I'm making a mountain out of what is not even a molehill!

What kitschnsync said. Both times.

Ahh, The great pancake war of '12. Those were bad times, people, bad times.

John, I think it is most amusing that you post a question to the community and then belittle the answers. Griffin's and Russ's answers were practical and thoughtful.

Try this recipe:
crack one egg into a bowl. Add 1/2 cup of milk, and whisk. Add self-raising flour, half a cup or so, whisk it in until the consistency is how you like it. Cook. Takes maybe 2-3 mins to prepare the batter. It is. It from a box but it is easy, and that is the point of using a boxed version, isn't it?

Great article.
I know I sound all supercilious and all, but I find the use of pancake mix astounding. They are so damn easy to make from scratch.

Is a mushroom a veggie? if I had one I'd give it to you!

Yes, Dropbox is really useful.

Yeah, but what about zucchini and eggplant? Also a fruit, but generally classified as veggies. And capsicum?

I suppose it's the gap between common descriptions and technical ones.
