No I didn't make a mistake. I intended to start this in the singles forum. We have a life too and we can have fun too. So what did you do? Did you go out to eat? Did you go see a movie? Did you watch a movie at home on a streaming service? Did you go out or watch with a friend? With a...

This thread is about mistakes: How you made them, what you did to fix them and how you make sure you will never do them again. The title comes from my memories of trying to cut a pie into equal slices... Then I get to the last slice and realize I have messed up terribly, and I'll either get...

No, not that... This thread is about batch cooking. I was doing batch cooking before it was cool. See, about six or seven years ago the doctor said Grandma's blood sugar was sky high. Investigation revealed she had started just grabbing whatever food was easy to eat instead of actually cooking...

How long until the tree comes down? Does your family leave it up until January 6th? Did you take it down today? Is there always an argument between those who want to take it down fast and those who want to leave it up a while? https://www.gocomics.com/arloandjanis/2024/12/26

Anything interesting for Christmas this year?

When you were a kid did you believe in Santa Claus? Did you not believe? Did you argue with kids who believed differently? Did you ever fight with other kids about whether Santa was real? If your parents did tell you Santa was real, when did you find out he was not? If your parents did...

I'm laying out of w*rk today because my body says it wants to stay warm and horizontal until it deals with this intruder I picked up. Actually my body said that yesterday but not quite as loud, so I probably infected a few people at w*rk. Oops. So in the meantime, here's a conversation from my...

A comedian once observed that single people get weirder over time because they consider themselves normal and they don't have anybody else to measure what is "normal" against. There is nobody to tell them, "Don't EVER do that in public." So they just out here living their lives, with no idea...

It's that time of year again. Time for everything to freeze, including us. I have observed there are two kinds of people. Those who deal with cold by putting on more layers and those who deal with it by cranking the heat up. So which are you? Do you hibernate under a mound of blankets...

I'm SOOOO certain this thread will have a good run that I am starting it. What are you SOOOOO? Will you play it straight? "I'm SOOOO epicurean that I refused to eat Swiss cheese in Switzerland. I eat only imported cheese, and all their cheese was domestic." Will you play it sarcastic? "I'm...

What did you get from the after Halloween half price sale? Anything good? Anything you'd care to share with us? Don't worry, I don't mean share it physically. I mean, anything you want to gloat about?

Is your battery being sucked dry using 5G? Are you struggling to get signal in places where 4G could reach easily? Have you noticed lately your phone no longer provides the option to turn off 5G? Does this post seem like a cheesy TV ad? Ahem... Sorry about that. So yeah, 5G uses more power...

Back in the day we could count on a good crop of pagan holiday threads. Halloween is pagan, Christmas is pagan, Easter is pagan, even Thanksgiving... From 2014 to 2019 or so we had lots of them to enjoy. We would have a grand old time every year arguing about this or that holiday once again, in...

This thread is about old people getting used to new things. I picked up a 2016 Hyundai Elantra. Lord help me... Before this, my latest model car was the 2003 Mazda minivan. Lots of stuff for me to get used to now. The motor starts if you hit the lock button four times, and I'm never quite...

Kind of a morbid topic, but... What do you want to happen when you die? Do you want to be cremated? Where do you want your ashes scattered? Buried? Tossed in the ocean, burial at sea? Do you want a traditional Southern funeral? A traditional Northern funeral? Memorial service? Irish Wake...

Can someone explain this to me? When God told Samuel to go be a prophet, God also had some rough things to say about Eli. Eli was the high priest and Eli's boys were abusing their position, for fun and profit. God said he was gonna deal with all three of them, Eli and his boys too, personally...

No this is not a political diatribe or theological rant. "You believe THAT?! How wrong can you be?" This is a serious question. When do you want your spouse to correct you and when do you want to be left alone to be wrong? How wrong can you be before you want to be corrected? Everybody hates...

What are you hoping to buy someday soon? Yup. That's as deep as this thread gets. At least at the start. I don't mean pie-in-the-sky stuff. A personal yacht big enough to live on full-time, a Bugatti Veyron, a private island... Varth! We could spend all year talking about stuff we will never...

It has been a while since we had one of these threads. If you were about to get married, what would your fiance(e) need to know? Any old thing. Do you snore so much you will need a seperate bedroom? Does your dog sleep in your bed, and you can't bear to kick him out? Do you always greet the...

I have found my candidate, the only team I can be confident enough about to vote for this year. I don't have any faith in any other party or candidates, but I feel like these guys can bring us through the years ahead. They understand the working man and they are always there to help us...
