How do you pass time on nights and weekends?
Comments (23)Hi Linda - I remember you from other Forums but can't remember which ones. I think I even responded to one. K-J is right, sometimes we are a bit rowdy but all in good taste. But as I'me getting older, I realize that the past generations really knew how to make the best of it and to have fun, even just with each other. My Mom retired from Howard University after 30 yrs and then became a member of the retirees organization. When she passed, the other members kind of took me under their wing. I had never had so much fun!! Now as I'm getting closer to that age, I've found that the fun things that "old" people do, are just that - FUN! We laugh here, and we cry here, but we also share here so that after we cry, we can all start having fun again - LOL. But I really luv these guys a lot! Glad to see you here too! gng...See MoreThe silly stuff we do...from jasdips Friday/Weekend Quiz
Comments (15)I'm secretly going to type this out just so the hubby doesn't see this. LOL My husband really goes above and beyond for me. Not only does he work long hours so that I can have my dream of being a farmer, but he helps with farm work as well. He makes me laugh on the daily. He's more intelligent than I am with quite a few things, but looses gracefully when I kick his butt (like almost every single time) we play Risk. He'll do the most ridiculous things like try and ride our steer and our sense of humor is so in sync it's scary. I love that I'm just as attracted to him now as I was almost 17 years ago when we met. And I love that he still makes me feel like he's attracted to me. Oddly enough, the first night we met, what drew me to him was playing the game Mind Trap. I thought to myself, "this is the most intelligent guy I've ever met." See the key is to marry someone more intelligent and good looking then you to improve your future children's gene pool. ;)...See MoreFriday/Weekend Trivia Quiz
Comments (18)Oh there are so many possibilities with this one. My top picks: - Conduct personal business during work hours - come to work late - take time off in the middle of the day to workout - take home office supplies (tape, paper clips, paper, laptops) - stuff in refrigerator is fair game - personal grooming of any type (yes, I have seen some shaving with an electric shaver, putting on makeup, clipping nails, nail polish, just about everything at their desks)...See MoreWeekend Quiz: What are your five favorite culinary/food smells? ...
Comments (16)Love to smell Bread. Baking or just baked. Specifically, a plain, white, highly hydrated bread with crust like plate glass and gaping caverns of chewy crumb. Tomatoes. Ripe, unwashed, freshly pulled off the vine, by and in your hand, en route to your mouth, after a detour to the salt shaker, which you keep on a post in the garden in which you stand, under the hot sun and among the heavy vines, about to be eaten like an apple, that last referring to the tomato, which made its appearance so long ago in this paragraph that we’ve quite forgotten of what we were speaking. Broth. Not the dirty laundry smell of early broth, raw onions, oily fat, and boiling scum. Not even the hearth-and-home smell of middle broth hitting its honest stride after four hours of skimming, with herbs and spices added. I mean the dense, meaty, layered, concentrated, redolent aroma of late, late, late broth simmered overnight and strained and defatted and reduced and clarified to be savored from a highball glass, hot shimmering liquid beef with a splash of vodka and a sprinkle of fleur de sel. Pesto. Basil by the handful, fresh garlic, olive oil, dark toasted nuts, good hard tangy cheese, all those scents liberated, combined, atomized, and flung into the room by the whirring food processor. A food processor is recommended. Pesto made with mortar and pestle has that added smell of effort, sweat, and blisters, that I personally find offputting. I guess if it’s the right comely person working that pestle, while you watch appreciatively with a glass of chilled Prosecco, you could find the sweat sexy, but some uptight SJW will come along and accuse you of exploitation and soon you wish you’d just bought your pesto in a plastic tub from Costco and saved yourself the approbation. Wine. Deep red, room temperature, balloon glass, just poured and swirled. Not, it should never have to be said, a sweet red wine. Meh, intriguing but not emotional to smell Chocolate. That smell means dessert is near, and I like dessert, but I don’t get emotional about it, being more of a ”I’ll share a _____ but only want two bites” person. Unless we are talking about creme brulee or creme caramel. Drat, those should have been in the first list. Bananas. Smell good. Taste okay. Ruins any dish in which incorporated, except ice cream. To this day the smell of Bananas Foster makes me want to vomit, because once it did. Average taco van aka roach coach. A little bit of grill, a little bit of diesel. It’s usually going to be a mediocre meal. You’re going to eat it anyway. Because where there is a roach coach, there by definition is nothing else to eat. A diner, on a secondary road. Smell of weak coffee, hash and grease on the flattop, brown oil in the deep fryer, dirt and jeans, cigarette butts and motor oil. Similar experience coming as #3. Probably. There are glorious exceptions with diners, seldom with roach coaches. Lager or pilsner. Beer is always intriguing, then you get closer and think “crap, its just pilsner (or lager)”, which your subconscious knew from the thin reedy smell, and it emotionally protected you by whispering in your ear ”you’d rather have a spritz”. This happens a lot in France and Italy, where the chances of that beer being an ale, stout, or (non-flavoured, non-hazy, generally non-weirdo) IPA is slim. Hate to smell Durian. Why does every Asian market have this stuff. Most of us don’t eat it. The ones who claim to like it can go live in their own Stinkytown. How can you like the taste of something that smells so bad? Smell is part of taste! Dogs eat stinky cat poop. Be better than a dog. Please. You’re making us look bad. Super sicky sweet stuff. Like cotton candy, inch-thick pink frosting, those volcano things spewing melted milk chocolate, all the other sickness-on-a-stick things you find at the county fair. Espresso shots at most coffee shops in the US, while the ”ooo, light roast, ooo, spe-cial-lity coffee” crowd puts their pale dry rattly beans through espresso machines designed for traditional dark oily roasts, and produce shots so sour that your face looks like your other end is having a rectal exam. On the other hand, I like the smell of espresso shots in France and Italy. Standard hot dogs, boiled. Meaning your basic Oscar Meyer or equivalent weiner. The smell itself isn’t bad, but its the association with the soft, mushy, tasteless, oversalty, sack of meat byproduct that it precedes. Some food with cooked oranges in it. I like fresh oranges. There is something about some ways of cooking oranges that makes me think of the Porcelain Bus. Roasting is ok, stewing is not. Canard a l’orange is ok, having warm sour-sweet acid in my throat is not....See MoreIslay Corbel
