Hey, cremation thing. Not as odd as True's, but m'grandparents recently bought a house from someone that wanted to move further south, needed some seed money to get set up... turns out, the lady that was living there kinda' forgot her uncle. Urn or whathaveyou was just sitting out in an outbuilding, pretty as you please.

Now, lady actually had several other relatives ashes laying around, but she remembered those. Just... not the uncle. Poor dead guy.

It's different. Not sure about worse quality. You can do some things with steamed rice you can't really do with boiled, and the same the other way around.

Still. Steamed rice can be good, too.

Why limit self to just one?

Mostly long grain, though, and mostly transitioning toward primarily brown. It's generally less expensive around here than short grain, hence the bias.

Still. Eat both happily. Short makes for interesting variance, and I do very much like it, but long's used more culturally here, usually, so it's easier to get.

Probably should nab some short next time I go shopping, though. Variety!

Probably not the only one. There's gotta' be, like, two of you. Somewhere.

But yeah. Cheap, filling enough, goes well with a lot of stuff. Like potatoes. Rice is my other potato.

Oh... yeah, I've (regularly) mixed rice with pretty much everything else I eat. This particular batch was jasmine rice mixed with eggs, and about 3/4ths flavored with cheese and some leftover ramen flavoring -- rest was put aside in case someone wanted some plainer stuff. Breakfast rice is rice with eggs, bacon, and cheese added, but no one was interested in eating the rice so the bacon didn't get mixed in. Along with whatever else I feel like, heh.

I generally eat on about two USD per day (little more if I'm adding stuff beyond whatever the base is), less if I'm particularly desperate or particularly inactive that day. Maybe offset a little by the vitamins (I really need to get some more of ) I try to keep up with to offset the malnutrition risk eating mostly grain entails.

It's a side thng, but eating out often drives me a little crazy. I see a five dollar meal and think "I can eat for three days for that price." S'nice not to have to deal with preparation and taste something different, but it's still something my brain can't stand to do more than once or twice a month, max. More than that and it starts bothering me.

They're obviously on a different timezone. Which one? Whichever one means they don't have to take your call.

That would actually be kinda' brilliant. Have it track time zone being called from, and automatically route it to a call center in a different timezone. A call center that is closed during those hours.

Vanu won the vote, NC apparently won the max-whatsit aesthetics contest, leading the threadmaker to unilaterally decide NC for the second poll thing. No love for the ninjacrab.
