      Family, NAS device, books. I would probably perish in the fire, returning for load after load of books until it was too late. I should probably just invest in fire-proof shelves.

      Probably not. I used to wear pince-nez, like Eben. I came across ECD and decided that I liked the front and side profile images, so I save them and have been using them as my userpic on different services every since.

      Absolutely you can avoid her. And you can be upfront about it with her, if it comes up. It's not emotional blackmail, it's just a simple statement of fact: one tends to avoid unpleasant people, intentionally or not.

      That said, if your m-i-l is something who you very rarely see, it may behoove you to make the effort to just swallow your bile and suffer through for those brief interactions.

      I can't think of a movie that I would prefer to live over my own life, but I suppose if I had to pick one I would dig "The Swiss Family Robinson".

      I can't think of a movie that comes anywhere close to my life. Does "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" count?

      Yes. In his defense, he'd been up all night the night before drinking some sort of green liqueur with a bunch a guys in jerseys.

      Almost certainly. These days I subsist almost entirely on leftover scraps, to the point where if I do ever eat a meal of my own I end up feeling too full because now I've consumed my own meal plus a bunch of scraps.

      Most years I create a new website on my birthday, as a present to myself. (This year I did not.) Most of them are just experiments, and only last until the next birthday when the domain registration expires, but a few of them continue to thrive.

      One of the oldest survivors is a site where people can post stories. It's fairly rudimentary. One of my acquaintances, who is now an acclaimed author, posted a short piece memorializing the death of a friend. Some time later, the family that the friend had abandoned showed up in the comments. It lead to a very lengthy discussion in the comments about the life of the deceased and those parts of it which he had kept hidden from one side or the other.

      And I couldn't ever consign that to oblivion by pulling the plug on the site, so it continues, even though I haven't visited it myself in years.

      Mr. G's site contains all of my cleverest work, I think.

      Apparently four. I think that American Idol was much better with only three judges, plus the occasional fourth celebrity judge. Adding Kara was just madness.

      (In truth, I don't watch AI. Four seems sub-optimal, though, due to the chance of ties.)

      Eastern shore Maryland, to be closer to an extended, and extensive, family network and a cheaper CoL.

      Blackmail material on me is nearly ubiquitous online.

      I suppose I'd start with Living Groups. Hard to believe it's been a decade.
