True sci fi. As in actual *science* fiction, not fantasy, which is an entirely separate genre. From the days before Babyman when I had a science fiction book review blog and people would send me stuff about elves and dragons and then get mad and tell me off when I said it wasn't sci fi. I may still be a bit annoyed about that.
Great huge like!!!!! I want to talk science fiction with you, I also like science fiction and don't like fantasy much. My creds are that I started reading sf when I was 9 with Heinlein's Podkayne of Mars. So I grew up reading all the grand masters. i prefer "hard" science fiction, but also enjoy space operas, and Ursula Le Guin psychological dramas. I want to start reading more sf again, but don't know where to begin. Do you know if/which sf magazine is publishing good hard sf writing these days? My son is a also an sf fan and has read some Asimov including the Foundation series so I am looking for more ideas for him. I liked Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy, but not some of his other books. Ditto for Neal Stephenson's Diamond Age (fabulous) but not the Baroque series (what little I read of it).
Oh, what is the current "PC" abbreviation for science fiction? I seem to remember some controversy about that.

Off to 5 star Admin

Hey Puddles we are working to get your profile up to 5 stars. Hey everyone 5 star Puddles!

It's Monday! Rise and shine with the likes!
Or give me a good reason (aka "some people abuse the like function" isn't going to cut it for me) for the cloak of invisibility.
Like! I'm PST and ready to plead for visible likes!

Hey a poster named Puddles only has 3 stars! We need to fix that cuz she liked a like of mine and that's good enough to get her 5 starred. Let's go ladies!!!!!

I've been getting the value packs at New Seasons, but I feel that I could do better. I live in Portland, but would be willing to order online. I have a half freezer outside, but am planning to get a full chest style soon. Thank you much. : )

I've only been to the one in Aloha, but the website lists Portland and Tigard locations. Good luck. I hope you like them. I buy brisket there and ribs. Also spices and whatever catches my eye. I should probably use them more than I do. They say they are a wholesaler, but no one has ever asked if I have a business.

Beautiful baby!

I miss visible likes!

I wonder if there is any correlation between the unkempt state of my home and the amount of time I now must devote to likes?

Great! As long as it's not coral or nude.
FTR, I am a pretty good cook, but it's regional. I make bad-ass tamales, etoufee, and gumbo. Pretty good chili dogs, too.
That sounds yummy!

I surely hope not. As someone who doesn't post much here, and who is not very visible, "likes" help me feel connected to the boards.
Exactly.

I've ran out of likes. I will just have to quote and agree. There's not enough cloud space in the world...

Stars for STEM! Stars for STEM!

No fair...I only have 3 stars
I five starred you and it seemed to "stick", but now you must say something amusing to keep it.
-
Yes, this is how it works for me. Is this the new normal? We cannot see who liked what? Interesting.
I hope not! I have no wine in the house

May the record show that stripe liked this post, thereby giving tacit (albeit invisible) approval.
The clouds have parted, and I heard the Hallelujah Chorus.

I went out for Thai food for lunch and picked up Mexican for dinner. Dessert will be cheesecake with raspberries. It's a special day.

It is sarcasm.
It wasn't fun and I won't miss it.
So I have been hoping this is just a system glitch. Do you have any super secret knowledge that our current "like" situation is our new normal? I would like to start the grieving process as soon as possible to get it over with.
-
It's always fun when someone "likes" every post in a thread but mine. I'll miss seeing that.
Wait, wait is that sarcasm? I can't tell. How do you really feel about the likes?
-
Ah shucks thanks for giving me some stars.
Stella I five starred you!
