People from there, my dad not among them, wax poetical about it as if it this wonderful cultural epi-center of delicious food and fabulous culture.

I am a little confused as to how a recipe involving Buffalo Chicken Wing pretzel crisps could possibly qualify as "Thai-inspired." I've been to Buffalo. I've been there fairly regularly for years, in fact. It's hard to imagine a place less Thai and, for that matter, less inspiring, than Buffalo.Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-54197270313940483072013-05-15T07:11:47.202-07:002013-05-15T07:11:47.202-07:00R.E.M. is one of those bands that was always on th...R.E.M. is one of those bands that was always on the edges of my consciousness--probably because I am a little older than you and also a lot less cool than you (for instance, I use the word "cool" in this context). But every time (EVERY TIME) I hear one of their songs, I think to myself, why don't I listen to more R.E.M.? Thanks for the reminder.

REM!), and wondering why still others can't simply "think about direction wonder why you haven't before."<br /><br />I am considering a series of blog posts where I pose these questions for real conversation (as opposed to Facebook Flaming). I hope you and your readers will engage, especially when you disagree.Margihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00380912871792176901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-37026236474083760682013-04-29T20:49:35.027-07:002013-04-29T20:49:35.027-07:00And "Everybody Hurts" was my anthem for ...And "Everybody Hurts" was my anthem for about two solid years.

I love him anyway. Even if he is so woefully wrong about that. "Religion" is, as you say, about falling out of love and "Find the River" (possibly their best song ever) is about falling out of love or being fallen out of love with and starting over. And a lot of herbs.TangledLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771682524596744447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-23023318158186393362013-04-29T19:40:10.505-07:002013-04-29T19:40:10.505-07:00Sorry.

The great thing about REM is that, like Tori Amos, their music is like a series of Rorschach blots. I had a boyfriend in high school who told me, by way of brilliant revelation, that he had realized that "Losing My Religion" was about communism. And now he fills up my Facebook feed with entreaties to defend the working class from the police. I'm thinking of hiding him. I never bought it. I knew that s%^yt was about falling out of love. He just couldn't see it, didn't know anything. But I loved him anyway.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08644569152748119356noreply@blogger.com
