Gas stove as you have more control over your cooking.

Home furnace, gas, electric, or wood/other?

 

[2WhiteWolves]

Wood

Do or don't you put butter on before putting jelly onto toast/biscuits?

I wish I could but no butter for the bear

In the summer do sleep with or without a cover?

 

[nadalama]

With. Can't sleep at all without some type of cover.

Would you rather take training classes remotely or in person in a classroom? This can apply to either vocational training or regular education classes.

My wife Jean is the same way with havin to have a cover

In person, if you have a question it seems easier to get the right answer

When listening to music or TV and you don't wanna disturb your partner would you wear headphones or ear bubs?

Headphones while not sleeping. On nights I'm unable too fall asleep, I'll wear ear buds.

When at home you've lost something, say a mod, do you look for it until you find it or just stop looking for it hope it shows up?

I wasn't offended, but I didn't see the question Been working hard lately.

When I have lost something it keeps bugging me until I find it, unless I can remember and conclude that I left it somewhere away from home.

No skeeters on me so far this summer.

As a kid at school recess, did you prefer the jungle gym, monkey bars, or the see saw (teeter totter?) ?

 

[Jimi]

I wasn't offended either, I have a hard time comin up with a question that is dumb or already been used.

When I lose stuff it drives me crazy till I find it so I haveta keep on lookin

I've been bite several times this year but they are always bad here in the summer.

My favorite was the monkey bars casue I like to climb

See that's all the farther I get so this isn't an entry (play on)

There was a dynamic I really liked about the see saw, though I didn't analyze it that much as a kid. With two on the see saw, it's a cooperation, and a circle of energy in which you are fully engaged with your partner at the other end, smiling, having fun, enjoying the up & down.

As for jungle gym vs monkey bars, I'm differentiating between these, monkey bars on the left, jungle gym on the right, in the playground parlance of the day.



The jungle gym was conversational. People would climb up, choose their perch and sit chatting. A few kids used the monkey bars. I can remember a time when I could go from end to end, and then at some point I couldn't any more.

So back to the playground. I don't remember there being swings and slides at my school, but on the way home from school there were big swing sets with canvas sling seats at the ball park, where you'd linger if you were in the mood. And of course lots of suburban back yards had swings and slides, including mine.

So, swing or slide?

 

[nadalama]

Swing, most definitely. I'm still crazy about a swing!

Keeping with the summer theme, out in the sun, do you burn or tan, or are you acclimated to it? Do you have that skin that Billy Connolly calls "a pale shade of blue," or skin like my daughters have, within which they can flop down, flip over, and be done like a piece of breakfast toast? Believe me, they have it thanks to my husband's DNA, because it sure didn't come from me.

Twice I've lived in Florida, plus Baton Rouge, LA and Savannah, GA - never a suntan. Never even a GLIMMER of one. I have, however, been burnt very nearly EVERYWHERE, including the part of my hair, the tops of my feet, and worst of all, the backs of my knees. Had sun poisoning quite a few times until I finally just gave up on the sun about a decade ago.

Burn or tan, or neither?

I have this memory that my dad was as interested in swings as any kid. When our swing set was kid oriented, he hung a porch swing on the patio, opposite my mom's telescope. When we kids were beyond the age of swing set interest, he removed the individual swings from the frame, and hung a second porch swing on it, to sit in the yard and look up at the stars.

Okay

Burn or tan, well you know, it's always a burn, like when you burn your finger in the kitchen, it's bright red that day, and the next day that burn spot is tan, but I understand what you're saying. Some people are so fair, almost translucent, they will always suffer from the sun. I used to love the way tanning made me look, the compliments it got me, and even that kind of feverish sun drenched feeling. The sharper the contrast at the swimsuit lines, the more thrilling, but as I got older I worried I was ruining my skin. Nowadays I don't really know about that. I feel like my diet shows up in my skin texture, but they say every cell in your body turns over in a certain length of time, so I'm skeptical of the theory that tanning causes wrinkles. In any case, I'm no longer interested in lying in the sun, though walking on the beach is lovely, or riding in a boat. I'm more likely to have a hat on my head and a t-shirt over my swimsuit for all except swimming. A midnight swim is my favorite, whether ocean or pool.

Next question. Need a new outfit for an occasion: shopping mall, local boutique, or thrift shop?

My wife is like that... just gets sunburn and her freckles get darker.
To answer your question (which I can't) I haven't been to the ocean (beach) for over 10 years. If I swim, it would be up in the pristine rivers in the CA mountains (oh... that's out, there are major fires up there) I don't like swimming pools because I hate chlorine. I already have a tan because I work outside a lot (triple digit temps) Thanks for reminding how much I hate my life right now (it's not your fault... just reminded me)

 

[VapeOn1960]

Well... the mall is still closed (COVID) except a few stores that have outside access. I'm a guy so what the heck is a "boutique"? I guess it's thrift shop for me (oh crap... they are still closed too) I give up.
Obviously, ordering clothing online is risky... will it fit?
Forgive me for this (I'm actually in a good mood but it may not seem so)
You only have $5... cheap booze or cheap malt liquor? (that wasn't a real question)
OK... I'll try: really good stereo or really good headphones?

Don't worry. Monkey pox (money pox) is next. Things will be shut down for a long long long long long time.

I'll confess to getting all of my clothes second hand on Ebay, and I love the whole ethic of buying what's already out there, someone else's cast offs, things you can use without having factories going or child labor in third world countries, doing business with fellow humans. It takes some practice, and I wasted some money at first, but I've been doing it for so many years, I never have fails anymore. You take your clothes that fit you best now, and measure them flat, across the chest, shoulder to hem, outer sleeve length from shoulder, pants in-seam and outer seam, and then you only buy from sellers who list with measurements. For the sellers who don't bother with measurements, you can message them and ask. Most of those who don't list with measurements are dipshits and won't respond. You have to skip them, no matter how much you like the item. Otherwise, look for "gently worn", "like new", "no flaws". Carefully read the whole description before bidding or clicking "buy now".

To answer your question, what is a boutique? A locally owned stand alone shop, not part of a national chain, not a big box store. It's good to support those if you have tons of cash to get rid of, or at least look for their clearance sales.

So, good stereo or good headphones? Gosh it hardly matters anymore. I used to be a stereo snob. Now I just want it to sound good without bothering my neighbors in my apartment building. I like my computer speakers, cheap Frisby brand. I can listen to music and podcasts with good sound quality, without setting off the dogs in the building.

I always write too much.

I'll take your question and change it up a little bit. You only have 5.00. A bottle of cheap wine or a bottle of malt liquor? To me it's a fair question. A while back when I had people over, I had a 22.00 bottle of wine and a 5.00 bottle. The 5.00 Beringer was way better than the other bottle. Also I really like malt liquor.

I'm guessing it was the white zin (my wife likes that too) Cheap ML sucks... it really does. I think would prefer a bottle of wine. Sometime a $3 bottle of wine better.

No, I never liked zinfandel. The Berenger 5.00 bottle was a dry white wine of some kind. I bought it because it had great reviews.

I used to love Elephant Malt Liquor but I never see it anymore.

I do let it cool before refrigerating. One time on America's Test Kitchen they tested whether or not it would heat up the inside of your fridge, and they said it didn't make that much difference, but what the heck, why add heat to the inside of the fridge at all?

Peppermint or spearmint in the garden? Or in your tea.

 

[Jimi]

Peppermint We useta grow pepper mint, I love peppermint in tea

Milkshake or a smoothie on a hot summer day?

 

[Bliss Doubt]

Milkshake or a smoothie on a hot summer day?

When I had space to garden, I found that if you have a part-sun-part-shade spot near a dripping faucet, you can grow peppermint, spearmint, lemon balm, pennyroyal, all next to each other, and I even bought and planted a start that was labeled "chocolate mint" at the nursery. It actually did taste kind of like mint chocolate chip. All of the mints are wonderful. Pennyroyal is good for fleas, but you never put the pure essential oil on a cat or it will stop breathing, so I would cut some pennyroyal, crush it in my hands and rub it all over the cats. It got to the point that they would see me fooling with the plant and come running for their treatment.

That's my rant.

Milkshake or smoothie on a hot summer day? Hah, the milkshake would just make me feel bloated and hot after its gone. I'd rather have a cold peppermint tea than either of the choices. Pure peppermint leaf tea is never very expensive, if you're not growing your own.

Clay pots or plasticotta for container gardening?

Clay pots. However, use plastic rectangle containers for some flowers that are on the deck and plastic hanging baskets.

Amazingly, there's was only one time we forgot to put the speaker back.
I'm kinda surprised that noone brought back the Drive In Theaters while Convid was/is still going on. I think they (could) would have made a killing (tons of money) from it. Really liked going to the Drive In to watch moves.

Gas, stringing out cord(s) is a PITA !

If It were possible for all of us to meet up somewhere; do or don't you think we would all like/ get along with each other?

So, I'll ask another question

Would you or wouldn't you take in a stray dog or cat?

 

[Bliss Doubt]

The powers at be.... want No gas in every state.
You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy

If It were possible for all of us to meet up somewhere; do or don't you think we would all like/ get along with each other?

I'll answer that one.

I don't think I would get along with everybody. The reason why I like having forum friends is that I can think before I comment, consider peoples' feelings, gravitate to the people I admire, and stay away from the people I don't like, such as the lady who likes to start or participate in somewhat controversial threads, but then will be the first to call on the mods for censorship when she doesn't like the direction the thread is taking.

As for drive-ins, in this WEF era, "you will own nothing and you will be happy", we are bristling against those who fly around in private jets, live in villas on massive acreage, vacation on their yachts, but want to take away our fuel, our electricity, our a/c and heat, and cram us into highrise coffin apartments, to have bugs for dinner delivered by drones. And while we're promised rolling black-outs, we're now expected to pop a million electric cars onto the grid?

Though these psychopaths do not have the answers, I feel that we all have long been contemplating the real plight of the ecology of our only home planet, the pollution, the overconsumption, and how we can be more gentle on this earth, by our own initiatives, without psychopaths trying to turn us into serfs.

It's the perfect time for drive-in theatres to make a comeback. I guess they fell out of favor with the advent of the multiplex indoor theatres, but what if we traded air conditioning the multiplex for cool fresh night air, after traffic has died down, after the sun has gone down? What if electric car rechargers were available there while we watch a double feature? Would that be practical? I don't even know. I hardly ever have to gas up the Mini now that I work at home, but I know that electricity plants burn coal, much of it, in many places, dirty coal, so it somehow defies any logic of cleaning up this planet.

It's so ironic (have seen that movie many times)... they were getting water in jugs. We joked about that when we were young, we just got water from the garden hose. Not a joke any more (I won't go near tap water... buy gallon jugs now) There are so many other things about that movie... air quality, heat, plants all dying, corrupt police, people living on the streets, lack of (good) food, So called food made from processed crap (did you know McDonalds chicken nuggets have "silly putty in them?) Riots... I could go on all day about that movie.

 

[VapeOn1960]

would you rather ride a four wheeler or a dirt bike?

I grew up riding "dirt bikes" and loved them. Never got to try a "four wheel" one (they call them Quads) so would have to say Quad. Three wheel one's were outlawed year ago... too prone to flipping over. But... if I had never tried either, I would choose dirt bike.
Cupcake with frosting (and I mean like most with 3/4 inch of frosting) or cupcake with no frosting? No in between... you have to choose.

I've hardly had the humor to play this game since this came up, and I'm not playing at this moment. Human cannibalism is all the news lately, but if you search for articles, you see that the subject really began to ramp up in 2016-18.

They're raising that flag to see who will salute it.

These parasites know that if you put it out there, people will start trying it, mostly weak minded psychopaths who are easily manipulated.

We have to hang onto our humanity. Even if you couldn't get horrid diseases from eating human flesh (you can), why are we here? Does it really come down to this, that we let our food systems be destroyed, modified, polluted, and then turn to each other for nutrition?

I really could go on and on, but it makes me sad and tired, so I'll leave it here.

I don't go out a lot the way I used to, but I was almost always the voluntary designated driver. Two glasses of wine or three beers, and then I'd switch to coffee for the rest of the evening. If I got drunk enough to need a taxi, I'd be trying to kiss the taxi driver, so I'd rather play it safe.

So were we created de novo by God, or were we genetically modified from primates by ancient aliens? It was the Sasquatch question that got me engaged in this thread again. There's a Bitchute channel I watch, "Shamanic Garden", which carries all sorts of subject matter. I find it all stimulating to think about.
