Leav97 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'd leave. I married a man not a woman. Might remain my best friend though. Woo Hoo, I can create controversy. :) I married a person, not a penis. - I'm not really looking to create controversy.

Zebra Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 How about this: I don't like Trader Joe's. Over the years I have put up with so much carp on this board, but this is the final straw. Cupcakes, kilts, crockpots, how old is the earth, who should use what bathroom, can you change your baby on a table in a restaurant.....you name it. But this I cannot tolerate. Just kidding! Honestly, my love affair with Trader Joe's has waned over the years for various reasons. AND I don't like coffee, with the exception of coffee drinks that are more cream/milk/chocolate sauce than coffee. Sometimes I like coffee yogurt. But REAL coffee, barf-o-rama. Plus, it makes me feel crazy and hyper, which is the last thing I need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 *Raises hand* I hate my Keurig too. It's a dust collector on my counter - don't care for the coffee that comes out of it, even with my refillable cup and it is expensive. I have a french press I adore for w hen I only need one cup. I tried to give it to my mother and she didn't want it either. Apparently she has one my brother gave her that she isn't using... :) ETA: I've never been to Trader Joe's. None in my neck of the Montana woods. And I never put bread in the fridge, except when I lived in south Florida (things mold fast down there). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 We've already discussed the bleach thing once on this board - having to do with kids removed from a family but I can't remember the thread title. I don't eat bread. i can't eat wheat or gluten and in my opinion gf bread (even Udi's) tastes like cardboard. I don't drink coffee. I hate coffee. I hate coffee ice cream and candy. I even hate the smell of coffee. (Though I still go to Starbucks for my Passion Iced Tea with no sweetener). I like reading in school. I like bathroom walls. Without them things would be a bit exposed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I put apples and oranges in the fridge. I do think they last longer. And I think they are more enjoyable to eat when they are cold. :) That's what the people here prefer too. Then again, my kid thinks ice cubes are a snack, so.... My dd has discovered ice cubes make good cat toys. Until someone wearing socks steps in the puddle left behind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahbobeara Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Don't have a Keurig, so I've never tried the coffee. Seems expensive because I prefer unlimited amounts of caffeine. At a get-together last spring, the hostess had a Keurig and I was sad because I knew there would be no coffee to sip on for the guests (there were a dozen of us attending, coffee wasn't offered and I assume it would have been expensive to have offered it). It was a cold morning and a warm cup of coffee would have been wonderful to hold in my hands. It seems like if there's a full pot of coffee waiting, it's more welcoming than a K-cup where each cup of coffee is precisely measured out. The whole "well, if it's already made, sure I'll take another cup of coffee" doesn't work with K-cups. No top-offs if your coffee gets cold, or if you add too much cream and it's too sweet. I am old fashioned though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creekland Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'm back now - after reading about Sleep Deprivation making us sick, fat, and stupid - quite the sobering article and well worth reading. (I read more than that one article, but that was the one that made an impression.) I only had to remind one young freshman what READING meant (sigh). Every year I have to train the 9th graders. Once they're trained I rarely have problems. Then it was kind of important to show announcements too - and that has to be from this computer - so I lied when I said 35 - 45 minutes. Sorry. Normally I don't believe in lying, but this is a controversial thread, so... I regularly tell my students not to kill each other/have deadly accidents during school hours because...paperwork. Same here - and reminders that blood on the floor/desks is not allowed as I don't care to clean up the evidence. ;) My question is, if you know your waiter is earning $15/hr, and your favorite casual dining spot has raised prices, are you still inclined towards a 15-20% tipping model? I am not opposed to a good server earning a 6 digit salary, so my tipping would not be affected. We tip VERY well for what I consider good service. I consider it part of the cost of eating out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are actually days/times where I don't shave. ;) My grandmother would be so mad at me if I were even in an accident on such a day, but I do promise I've changed my underwear - as long as you catch me AFTER barn chores are done.

fraidycat Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Bread/grain= evil. Inflammation. (that should be good for a page or two of controversy) Would I stay? I honestly can't say for sure. Keurig - meh. Waste of money and environmental leech, IMO. I'm not a fan of coffee. Cilantro is good. I try to avoid shaving as much as possible. When I do shave, it depends on mood, outfit, etc. I love Trader Joe's precisely because it's small. Perfect to help combat the Paradox of Choice issue. Don't poke the fruit! It's fragile. Meat is tough, it can handle it. Restaurants in Canada manage to pay full wages (minimum wage and up) and stay open and profitable. Wait staff still makes tips. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kewb Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 The enema cure-what the? Science is important. If my spouse wanted to transition I would 100% support my spouse and would probably remain married. Can't say for sure since I am not in the situation. I don't drink coffee. The waste of the kuerig makes me shudder but I do understand the appeal. Shaving - less of that with every passing year. I only shave if I am going to be wearing a skirt or capris. Only to the knee. I am not a hussy ;) I love trader joes for certain items Do not poke the fruit, the bread, or the meat. Mostly I store my bread in the microwave. Bagels go in the freezer. Sometimes I freeze regular bread but once it has been frozen it is only good for toast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have one here in the boonies. I'd divorce (get an annulment) but still be his best friend and love him and spend lots of time with him. Male or female, he'd still be wonderful! Anyone who's giving their kid bleach should be locked up. I'd love to make my own bread but don't know where to start. Oh I forgot! I shave above the knee. I cannot stand to have a hairy knee! I've got a question... Do you call the stuff on top of cupcakes frosting or icing? There's only one right answer. :D I call it yummyness and it has never complained.

So... back to lunchtime... it's a good thing I don't really care that much about cupcakes since you're tossing that out while I'm eating an apple... if I were a sweets lover, that would be torture I think. But it's frosting on top of the cupcakes, unless it's the fancier stuff used for decorations, then it's icing.
