A little Osaka-ben question! If you don't know how to read Japanese, just hover over the text for a transliteration. As I recall, true Osaka-ben substitutes 〜へん for 〜ない (as opposed to Osaka-fied Tokyo-ben, which changes it to 〜ねぇ), however for a moment tonight I got stuck on what to do for ない on its own (e.g. 時間がない "I've got no time"). Using へん on its own sounds off, and I seem to recall hearing あらへん a couple times in that context, but I thought I'd check here and see if someone else knows for certain. While we're on the subject, thought I'd also inquire as to how it came about. My best guess is that it evolved from 〜ません to 〜まへん, then shortening to simply 〜へん, but that's just a guess. Thanks! |

Hello. Not sure if this is okay to post here. If not, let me know, and I will remove it. I am selling a signed hardback copy of the book Impetus of Dreams by the artist Daniel Merriam. (I have it listed on Craigslist, but will pull it and deal with any serious buyer via Paypal.)  Thanks :) |

Maybe my limbs are made mostly for decoration, like the way I feel about persimmons. You can’t really eat them. Or you wouldn’t want to. If you grab the soft skin with your fist it somehow feels funny, like you’ve been here before and uncomfortable, too, like you’d rather squish it between your teeth impatiently, before spitting the soft parts back up to linger on the tongue like burnt sugar or guilt. For starters, it was all an accident, you cut the right branch and a sort of light woke up underneath, and the inedible fruit grew dark and needy. Think crucial hanging. Think crayon orange. There is one low, leaning heart-shaped globe left and dearest, can you tell, I am trying to love you less. |

I didn’t see the cows for a few days and called the police. —can you describe them? —moo. The cows are back this morning. I’m going to bake a pie for the detectives who broke the case. Apple pie. Cherry pie. Blueberry pie. I hate making crusts. I love peeling blueberries. I love the world and everything in it or on it or beside it. That’s not true. Now that I’m buds with the fuzz, I need to tell the truth. I don’t love root canals, don’t love satellite debris. I don’t love the Nestle corporation, which is pumping water from streams, putting it in bottles and selling it back to the people who live with the streams. Now that the cow case is solved, I’m going to ask my cop chums to arrest the Nestle corporation. —can you describe them? —they make yummy chocolate, they deplete aquifers. Imagine putting a corporation in a squad car. Imagine going to the tap and nothing coming out. Imagine being seventy percent sand. I can’t remember from my church days what makes holy water holy. Probably that it is water. |

A howdoyousay question: "dancing is living" in a variety of languages. Not simply "dance is life", but the more active sense of the original phrase--that is, to dance is to live and be alive; when you're dancing, in that moment, you are truly living/enjoying life. (...when such a distinction is possible; I know the phrase won't work that way in every language.) Eastern languages/scripts are preferred, as this may be for a bellydance t-shirt design, but anything and everything is appreciated. |

Does anyone have experience with getting cheap flights to Amsterdam? I am currently looking on Studentuniverse.com and finding consistent prices of about $670, which is okay, but I've heard of cheaper. Is there some secret only the Dutch know of? I would like to fly out of New York around January 2nd or 3rd, and return around the 12-15th. Alternatively, what about super cheap flights to New York? I've been finding around $330. I'd like to try and be there for New Years Eve. |

If anyone knows, I'd really love the kanji, kana and romaji names for arctic fox. I use "snowfox" as an online handle, and I've joined several Japanese-language websites, and it would be really convenient to know the kanji etc. for my favorite animal... Also, they're just awesomely fluffy. This part is solved. Snow foxes are ホッキョクギツネ. Thank you! :D PS: Is there a Japanese-language term for tabby cats / domestic cats with striped patterning? What about grouper fish? They're my other favorite animals. ^^; Thank you in advance. |

So I was looking for a way to spruce up my Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. So this is what I added to it: - A handful of shredded, cheddar cheese - A generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese (Kraft brand) - 1/2 a tablespoon of BBQ sauce (Kraft brand) - 1/2 a tablespoon of milk - Salt and pepper to taste I was wondering what else I could add to it. Maybe some more cheese? Sour cream? Ooooh....or maybe those crispy fried onions. Does anyone have any suggestions? |

Up, and to the office, where all the morning sitting. At noon home to dinner, and after dinner down alone by water to Deptford, reading "Duchesse of Malfy," the play, which is pretty good, and there did some business, and so up again, and all the evening at the office. At night home, and there find Mr. Batelier, who supped with us, and good company he is, and so after supper to bed. |

I am moving out as quickly as possible after an amicable but painful severance of a six year relationship and in doing so I am realizing that as much as I enjoy all my prom bridesmaid/etc dresses, I don't need them and I don't want to move them. I would love to donate them (and still might) but unfortunately breakup severely alters my financial situation so I am hoping to sell them. Normally I just take stuff to BuffEx and then they scorn me and I take it to Goodwill, but these are really nice (read: worn once or twice or never) and I don't even know if BuffEx takes that sort of thing. So, is there consignment in this city that gives cash for fancy dresses. That way someone can at least buy them for a lot less than I paid. :) They are 12-14 in size-ish. Thankies! |
