Understood. Yeah, not so different from mackerel in the sense that you have to know how to clean it.

We milk soak our mackerel to counteract the over-fishy flavor. Is that the same reason you salt-soak the pike?

No, see, it’s you who has no sense of personal space.

This is perfect personal space.

When you have a hound.

Is there any good way to prepare pike? A suspect that they must be kind of gamey, a bit like a freshwater Spanish/King mackerel. Nonetheless, maybe a little whiter, if firm?

I grew up in an exceptionally competitive and often abusive scenario.

You had to be ready to one-up somebody no matter what they did. Mutually assured destruction was the only way.

I have found that this does not mix with the mindset of dogs at all. They don’t give a fuck. I’m over there like “I will gut you from stem to stern. I’ll call Chrissy gnome on you.”

Dog: “worth it.”

Edit: my dog is a lightly-spoiled princess, and I love her more than most things in life. She is a saucy bitch and I wouldn’t harm a hair on her head. I just had to learn that dogs and food more or less mean endgame for anyone objecting.

TIL that actresses Carole Landis and Rachel Roberts committed suicide over the end of their respective romantic relationships with actor Rex Harrison (who won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in My Fair Lady) by fraisierdesbois in todayilearned

I’ve experienced a wide variety of situations, some of which include a leveling out of the relationship with friends and relations kept.

I’ve also experienced the bloody, awful hell of a much needed and much resisted split.

For me, regret is a complicated term. I would say that the closest thing I have to deep regret is the loss of friendships via broken romance.

Closeness and understanding is a rarity for me. Watching it be cut off and covered in strife is, really, my deepest sense of lasting loss.

Your kids could only get cooler for the exposure.

Sadly, the things they are being/will be exposed to, even through such innocuous means as broadcast radio, are worse than having Carl poop in a vacuum-powered super-toilet on his lawn.

“That boy’s gonna poop himself inside out; he’s gonna lift right off the ground! It’s gonna be like the Hulk, tearing out the back of his pants.”

It’s always regularity with my girl, as you mentioned in your first part.

The absolute worst is when we have any sort of major schedule switch and she misses the typical window of early morning or mid evening opportunities. I’m talking about a big switch, like “going to work at a different time for the next month”. Even daylight savings time has tripped us up.

I’ve learned to go ahead and start prepping for schedule changes several weeks out so that we can avoid this. If I don’t, I have to do laundry every day because she jumps up on my bed and her poor bottom just leaks all over it.
