  0 0 Hmm, I was a Sassy subscriber, and it was pretty different from Tiger Beat, but Kevin might not know that. They definitely had some Evan Dando beefcake pictures... Aurora F commented 7 months ago

  0 0 I think, in general, the slowing/stopping problem is that the freight companies own the rails, so the freight trains take precedence over the passenger trains, and they aren't on any particular schedule, so there's no telling. I was really late getting into Chicago as well, but coming back, I was close to on-time. Aurora F commented 10 months ago

  Where should I take my boyfriend for his birthday?

  2 0 My boyfriend took me to The Walrus and the Carpenter in Ballard for my birthday last Sunday. We mostly just ate the oysters (they have raw and cooked), but the food other people got around us looked and smelled very delicious. And the cocktails were interesting, but still delicious. Plus, oysters are supposed to be the sexiest of all foods. Aurora F answered in Eating Out 10 months ago Answer, comment & read 7 more answers »

  How miserable is riding coach on a transcontinental Amtrak run?

  1 0 It's a little miserable at night, especially if the man sitting next to you smells like canned tuna, but over all, it's not a bad way to spend a few days. I went coach from LA to Boston one summer and enjoyed it for the most part. I spent most of the time in the observation car, which had more room to spread out than my seat. I was traveling alone and so I read a lot and listened to my iPod and watched the terrible movies they showed (The Phantom of the Opera and Along Came Polly and that one where Ray Romano and Gene Hackman try to get elected mayor of a small town in Maine and Gene Hackman is the former President) and looked out the window. The part of the trip between LA and Chicago was the best, because there's so much nice empty land in the west. I enjoyed eating with friendly strangers, though that's not the sort of thing I would normally feel comfortable doing. I was a little achey from not lying down at the end of the ride, and the one night next to the canned tuna man (who boarded in the middle of the night in Ohio or something; you might be safe from that sort of thing east of the Mississippi) was kind of unpleasant. But, really, I would recommend it to everyone. Aurora F answered in Long Distance Travel 10 months ago Answer, comment & read 5 more answers »

  Help me fill my freezer!

  1 0 I always like to keep meatballs and rice in my freezer. You can cook a big batch of rice and freeze it in one cup portions. Super handy! Aurora F answered in Cooking Tips & Tricks 11 months ago Answer, comment & read 6 more answers »

  0 0 I have a sister who's 8 years younger and a brother who's 12 years younger, as well as a 2 years older brother and I'm closer with my younger sibs than with the older. I was definitely annoyed with the arrival of my sister, but we all grew up and got to be very good friends. Aurora F commented 11 months ago

  0 0 SPL's digital books are great, and underused, so you can get books with waiting lists way faster. Aurora F commented about 1 year ago
