I started it ages ago before Brotherhood came out, but wasn't able to get hold of the second half of the series at the time, and now I finally do have it, I'm starting again from the beginning because I realised I didn't remember it well enough to pick up the story half way through. Brotherhood is certainly a more faithful adaptation of the manga, since the manga was still being written when they made the first anime! Maybe we'll get a Game of Thrones: Siblinghood one day...

I wonder if you are the opposite, with fewer than average? When I dislike food it tends to be more about texture than taste, but I like plenty of foods well enough. There are plenty of foods I love the taste of. I just don't take that much pleasure from eating. Overall, having to eat is more of a chore than an indulgence. I could go and eat, and get a brief period of satisfaction of, say, 5 minutes, or I could spend the entire time (travel/preparation, eating and resting) doing something more enjoyable. 2 hours ago, Buckwheat said: I disappear for three days and come back and see that, what, four, five people have been posting here?

I just want to get on with something more interesting. I just don't understand how/why people gush over how wonderful food is, and why there are so many blogs and websites about food. It's very strange to me. Food is food, not art. Nor do I suddenly feel hungry or desirous when I smell food.

It's in my top 10 shows, but IMO it suffers in comparison to some of my highest rated shows because while it can be dark in a traditional sense, it shies away from the darker characters and greyer moralities that can really elevate shows, in my opinion.

Lady Olenna Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Somehow I lost my quotes. Seems to happen with this fancy new site setup. I missed KiDs birthday - Happy Very Belated birthday KiD I hope it was just what you wanted Bucky Just teasing... good for you Bucky glad you enjoyed Vienna! So a few weeks ago I had my lab work done and it came back with elevated creatinine levels, low ALT and GFR of 60. All indications of kidney disease. Doctor said I may just not be hydrated enough ( I drink a ton of water!) so I was scared these last two weeks but managed to up my H2O intake to 3 liters daily and retested a few days ago and everything was pretty much in he normal territory *WHEW*! Talk about anxiety through the roof for two weeks. Hope y'all are enjoying life and loving to the fullest. I have been waiting for HBO to inform me of a free two months that they usually do every year just in for GoT. No such luck. I will take it as a sign to just not watch since I'm not sure I want to see their version before George's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidentally, I'm actually going in for a CT scan tomorrow precisely for the kidneys. I also thought I drank plenty of water everyday but I think I need to up the intake too after all. Still on the fence about watching the show this year... It's going to be hard not to, but I am not very excited about it.
