Good morning! Here's today's question: What’s the best thing that happened to you last week?

Nukdookum comments on Jan 15, 2019:

Someone took me to second breakfast. It was unexpected, thoughtful, and a wonderfully kind gesture. I'm very lucky to have great people in my life.

Haemish1 replies on Jan 15, 2019:

Second breakfast is awesome!!!

You're welcome ..;)

MojoDave comments on Jan 13, 2019:

That's a very cute picture of one beautiful member of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee! The IBTC is one of my favorite groups! So cute and tasty!

I think she’s a bit too well endowed for the IBTC. She sure is pretty though:)

@Stevil Jerry Jeff , and Townes Van Zandt. Sadly, Townes was at the end of his road, but I’m glad I was able to see him. Hopefully I’ll see Jerry Jeff again-at his best!

KIBBLE.

Haemish1 comments on Jan 12, 2019:

I live in a mining town- I wonder if the term kibble was used here?

Haemish1 replies on Jan 12, 2019:

@Marionville At one point in the early 1900’s Butte had the 2nd largest Irish population in the US. Now it’s hard to find a bar that doesn’t have an Irish theme to it;)

I’m curious how people would define the word “hippie” now?

@TheDoubter I agree that many people know what they’re talking about. If seen several pickup trucks with a “hippie hater” sticker in the rear window, and wonder what caused that reaction?

I’m curious how people would define the word “hippie” now?

Cutiebeauty comments on Jan 12, 2019:

How do you define it??

Haemish1 replies on Jan 12, 2019:

I think of it more in terms of a lifestyle that embraces all people equally and the environment as well. Drugs, sex, rock and roll might accompany this, but aren’t the main descriptors of it to me.

The trouble with that arises in that Democrats understand that most people here illegally come in legally (through airports), and overstay their visas. Building a wall would do little to solve the problem.

Haemish1 replies on Jan 8, 2019:

@IamNobody Completely agree with you there. Perhaps reducing the incentive to come here, by enforcing our laws regarding those who illegally employ these people or foreign policy/aid that increases quality of life in the countries they are leaving would help too?

Haemish1 replies on Jan 8, 2019:

@IamNobody Then the tunnels are dug and taller ladders are built. We can secure the border with better surveillance technology and man power. We will have to use the power of imminent domain to take land away from US citizens,(basically ceding part of the US to Mexico) which will cut off access to the Rio Grande and destroy farms and ranches. This also becomes a nightmare for wildlife in the area that relies on access to the river as well. Everyone wants to secure the border and reduce illegal crossings- I think there are better ways than a wall.

And it’s a full moon tonight:)

Who here, if at all, has dyspraxia?

Haemish1 comments on Dec 21, 2018:

I had to look that up. It was not something I had to deal with while growing up. In my case I believe my introversion (and a small amount of anxiety) has been exacerbated by my Hashimotos disease

@Qwent23 I can only imagine what it was like for you growing up - kids can be pretty mean. I hope things are getting better for you:)

What are you cooking for the holidays (besides turkey/ham)? I need inspiration. TIA

I will probably make one of my special homemade pizzas. Since I'm alone, I'm allowed to make whatever I want to eat.

Just like a 14 year old who’s parents left for the weekend:)

@AmmaRE007 Thank you - I’ll have to get some head phones, and give it a try!

@AmmaRE007 Interesting- have you used this?

My latest commission. To be used for multiple dates, hence the open space in the middle ;)

Fantastic work! I would use you if I had anything I needed like this!

What is Nougat exactly? Is there an interaction between it and regret?

@BeeHappy What !!!! Deep fried beer was my idea!!!

Well, if a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down, I guess sperm does the opposite?

first, isn't sperm a violation of veganism? it's definitely not plant based, is it?? also, i looked at the shots... do you mean the photos or the words? both seem pretty tame to me. i agree this is odd and i'm not pro-sperm-smoothie, but i'm also not pro-anything-smoothie. i'm what you ...

@UrsiMajor I’ve heard that spitting out the rewards of fellatio is a non denominational group that includes vegetarians and carnivores as well:) It is odd on the societal norms we have.

Very cool - is that based off some folk art, or entirely your composition? I’m always curious if there are some hidden meanings that I’m unaware of.

@Lillyfield41 I’m with you - it does seem to be contrary to vegan ideals.

I’m smoothie indifferent too. Seems to me they should really be called “gritties” - smoothie is a misnomer.

@Fernapple Who knew there’d be such an international, Astro- physical, interplanetary confectionary consortium? Deep fried anything is actually pretty good. Peanutbutter cups are my favorite, and while there’s no nougat, regret seems to be a universal ingredient ?

They make a good point!

Looking at me, nothing. Knowing me and how l have spent my life they would be surprised I was the advertising director for nine Woolco Department stores in San Antonio and Austin at the ripe old age of twenty three.

Haemish1 replies on Dec 21, 2018:

I wonder how many people on this site know what a Woolco Department store was?

I know this is wrong, but it’s the only Santa photo I have.

After a great deal of consideration, I thought perhaps there might be some chubbie chasers in the group. It’s a sub genre that’s not well represented here ?

BufftonBeotch comments on Dec 20, 2018:

I think most people receiving food stamps DO work. Think of it as funding a corporation because they don't pay their employees a living wage. Many military families also qualify for food stamps. That is insane. How does that make any sense? I don't even look to see if someone is using an ...

I was just at Gilmer woods in Portland Oregon and they have a whole room of book matched woods for instruments.

Haemish1 replies on Dec 20, 2018:

I’ve always wanted to visit Gilmer Woods. Usually, I get “stuck” at Powells Books if I get to Portland:)

This is incredible ???

I think we’re in for a big shake up as the tail end of the baby boom gets into retirement age, but has inadequate savings.

@callmedubious I’m thinking there’s going to have to be something along the line of a New Deal program to cope with climate change and the economic issues that are coming along- artificial intelligence, automation and adacances in software will reduce the need for human labor significantly.

Chris Thile is my favorite mandolin artist. This is a beautiful instrument.

Chris is a marvel- I don’t think there’s any genre he can’t play!
