Renai Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I grew leeks at one point. But then I harvested them and didn't know what to do with them. If I would have known you needed them I would have sent them to you. Sometimes I grow things in my garden just because it sounds cool to grow them, not because I have any desire to use them. I grew beautiful jalapeño peppers this summer, but didn't use many because I never made salsa. I grew broccoli once. Never ate it. I hate broccoli. I once grew okra. I hate okra. But I still try it every once in a while because my mom likes it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 grocery store? Costco? Bed, Bath and Beyond? Target? for wrapping paper Yeah. I just so hate shopping. Dh was surprised I didn't like any of the options, and I'm cheap so usually get the 4-in-a-pack or similar. Yep. Sigh. I think I'm going to do gift inventory now.

Tsuga Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I helped this chick with her website. She's computer illiterate. She was convinced that the reason I couldn't sign in from my computer was because she could only sign in from hers. It took me 2 hours to convince her she'd forgotten her password. She had a mac but the tutorial on YouTube was a pc so she went out and bought a pc last weekend. The whole thing was a disaster. She's coming next week so we can do more. 8/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Went to the cub scout banquet and on our way out was discussing with dd17 our need for a Fortress of Solitude. Because boys. I just finished a small chunk of Christmas shopping. Yay for Amazon. Also realized I need to get a gift put together for two teachers for the morning. Better get on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 It is (policy) and I am (on ancestry). The problem is, there are a lot of Dunklins. We have no idea of which family we are tied in to. The only Dunklins that could possibly be parents of my grandfather are all dead, all though we don't know which line he is from. That is what is so frustrating. We know they are dead, we just don't know who they are. I know some local Dunklins. I was doing gift inventory and dh walked in.

texasmama Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 On the bright side, my odd father called to ask for a safety deposit key for a box we share since he is closing it, and I actually found it. It would not have been good for me to not find it, and I did not want to lay this news on my odd father so I am so relieved that I put it in a safe place and could actually lay hands on it a decade later.

Kat w Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I was lurking ninja style. No running involved. I then went back to bed like I do every morning after fulfilling my maternal duty to deliver my son to work. I had just gotten myself back into a very deep sleep when my mother called. I was groping wildly for the phone, I couldn't see what button to push and was randomly pushing things until I heard my mother's voice. Mom - "Hi. Did you call me?" Me - "um.. no." Mom - " Oh, the phone told me to call you (she still doesn't quite get caller i.d. - esp. the part where it shows when someone called you like days or weeks ago.) "I can't talk though. I'm going to the pharmacy." Me left holding the phone going :confused1: . I'm not mad at her though. She'll be 91 next month. She gets a few allowances due to that. (She's sharp as a tack but not about these newfangled phones.) Laughed til my stomach hurt. Omg. That's....funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot stand okra and I have no compunction about it. Feels like moldy zombie fingers in my mouth. I have tried it MANY ways. The absolute best was pan-seared from fresh picked that afternoon and I didn't even like that but at least I felt it was something I could eat a full serving of and not have to suppress a gag. I am a pretty good eater but okra is just one of those things. I can hardly think of anything else I dislike as much as okra! Kholodets perhaps? It is a meat jello made from boiled down bone broth. It's literally bone jello. It is very, very good for you but you develop a taste for it as a child, in absence of other sources of those nutrients. It's not something anyone learns to like as an adult when they have access to just plain beef in my experience. On that note, okay, heart and tongue. Heart, tongue, and okra are all in one category of "I'll learn to love it when I'm starving." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caviar?I like most shellfish, except for scallops, to which I have a texture adversion. Just the swimmy fish. Can't stand to eat it, can't stand to small it. Recently I was able to eat a small bit of salmon cooked on a friend's grill. We were outside, and it was a big dry, so I didn't gag at least. LOL. DH cooked something the other night that I tried since the salmon didn't get spit out, and nope. It was a good thing I had a napkin handy because there was NO way I was keeping that in my mouth!

Another Lynn Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Good Tuesday Morning! Mark - how was the MRI ? How are you? Renai, I say take the gift back now while you can and buy yourself something instead, wrap it, put it under the tree. If he didn't mind giving it to singer, he certainly won't mind that you "gave" it to yourself instead. About wrapping paper, I would like to find some that doesn't rip so easily. And, regarding your family tree, I remember the frustrating response from Soc. Sec. too. So wish there was another way! Dawn, glad you are getting pain relief soon. They should have taken care of that immediately! Ducklings, keep cooking! Slache, keep eating! Tex, way to go locating the key! I would have failed. Ikslo, which movie? Tsuga, everything's better on the grill, right? Krissi, meant to tell you the other day that your Booyah Christmas songs are nicely done. Jean, way to go getting your treadmill walk in! Susan, brain dead Tuesday! Your last one before Christmas? Kat w, Welcome! Ellie, so glad you're here to kiss boo-boos and threaten violence where needed! Hope everyone has a good day. :) ETA: This Booyah is in honor of Krissi and her cool Christmas Booyah songs.
