The funniest thing about your entire post OP, is that both of you agreed to see each other a third time, even though you both disliked each other ... a lot.

What should I take as a mystery dish? Posted: 11/19/2009 6:11:12 PM
How about Pork and Beans Cake? You can make this a bit "healthy" if you substitute applesauce for the oil. It makes a very moist, quick bread type cake. It's sweet, but not overwhelming. It would definitely be a mystery! Pork-n-Beans Cake by Lorrie Sterling Original Recipe Yield: 2 loaf cakes Ingredients 2 cups white sugar 1 cup vegetable oil 3 eggs 1 (15 ounce) can baked beans with pork 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup raisins (optional but I'd definitely use them) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour five 16 ounce cans OR two 8 x 4 inch loaf pans. In a large bowl, mix sugar, oil, eggs, and beans until smooth. In a separate bowl combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and soda. Add to bean mixture, stirring just until combined. Stir in raisins and vanilla. Fill cans 2/3 full with batter, or divide batter into prepared loaf pans. Place cans or pans on a baking sheet. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool completely on wire racks before removing bread from cans or pans.

What spices go good with what? Posted: 11/19/2009 5:47:39 PM
When I was first learning how to cook, I just used every day, basic spices, which included: salt (sea salt and kosher salts are my favorites), pepper (agree with the freshly ground pepper and agree with trying the disposable ones in the spice section of the super market first), poultry seasoning, dried onions and dry onion soup mix, paprika, ground mustard, chicken and beef bouillion, pure vanilla extract (NOT imitation), whole vanilla beans, whole cloves, ground cloves, cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg. This time of year the "sweeter" spices like vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger etc are used in all sorts of baked goods/recipes such as pumpkin pie, cinnamon rolls, hot oatmeal for breakfast, etc. Whole cloves season hams and pork roasts. Poultry seasoning seasons turkeys and chickens. Dried onion soup mix right out of the envelop without reconstituting seasons beef roasts. It's really hard to say which spices do not go together, because sometimes the oddest combinations work! Maybe if you google some recipes to see what ingredients are in the dishes you like to eat, you can get a better sense of where to start your spice collection. Good luck! Cooking can be like a fun science experiment! Sometimes you just never know what you're going to create! If you like experimenting, it can be tons of fun!

Green, White, or Yellow? Posted: 11/14/2009 6:18:01 PM
I used to LOVE raw Vadillia onions or raw Bermuda onions on a sandwich, hot dog or salad, but not anymore. As I've gotten older raw onions bother my stomach - raw onions give me a "belly ache" - but onions fried or roasted are still good! Eggs with sauteed yellow/orange peppers and sweet onions, along with some sort of cheese, heaven! I also love fettucine with mushrooms and sweet onions sauteed in butter, with parmesan or feta cheese. Yum! I still like to have raw onion in my egg salad and tuna salad, but just a touch of onion.

I don't care that he did, but WHY DID HE HAVE TO LIE? Posted: 11/14/2009 2:27:32 PM
I dunno. I read the entire thread, OP. Maybe he was checking other people out, maybe not. Maybe you don't trust him because of him, or maybe you don't trust him because of some unresolved baggage from other relationships. It's really hard to tell why anyone is doing something, unless you ask them straight up. You can imagine all sorts of answers to a question unasked, know what I mean? As someone else pointed out, maybe he looked at your posting history, read this thread, and hit on your girlfriend because this thread pissed him off and he now wants to play games. Maybe he hit on your girlfriend because he read this thread and he's done with you and now wants to hit on your girlfriend, while trying to keep you on the back burner. Maybe he hit on your girlfriend because he's an untrustworthy jerk. Who knows the answer, unless you ask the question? As far as the comments about us old, ugly, fat chicks. One may never be fat, but hopefully one day, everyone on this thread will be old, and hopefully everyone will celebrate their "oldness" with great memories, surrounded by lots of love. Perception is everything, right? Some 25 year olds think 40 looks pretty damn old! My 6 year old niece couldn't believe people could REALLY live to be the ripe old age of 32! Again, it's that darn perception thing. Peace and good luck, all of you old or young folks, depending on what you perceive! Oh and OP, I understand what you are trying to say about the "fat, old chicks" now that you explained it. I really do. I'm not offended by the remark now that you've explained it. I get it.

latest cookbook you bought? Posted: 10/25/2009 9:01:13 AM
Oh cool! I'm not a big bread eater, but I'm going to look up that artisan bread book. Thank you arwen52! I love making and baking bread in the fall/winter. I love cook books! The more pictures the better. I don't like cook books that have text only. I especially love cook books about picnics or summer eating, teas and creme brulee. The last two cook books I bought have nothing to do with any of those categories though lol! Taste of Home Slow Cooker Classics (fantastic book, recommend it to all the slow cooker chefs out there) and Cupcakes Galore (a book with all sorts of cupcake recipes including a section for adults ...****ail cupcakes ... cupcakes made and frosted with some sort of alcohol).

Not sure what I should do next ... Posted: 10/11/2009 2:58:40 PM
I see, GeekGal, thanks for the response. My thinking is, if neither of you has ever actually dated this guy, I'm not sure why your friend is mad at you. You both are grown, you both are free to date whomever you choose to date. Maybe with this particular guy the two of you are putting the cart before the horse causing tension where none should be. I can't imagine, if you were my friend, I wouldn't be happy for you if someone you had interest in asked you out on a date, despite my own feelings. Friends stand by and for each other, they don't try to keep each other down. I guess there are two things to think about here. Going to your friend, telling her you sense some tension, you value her friendship and want to get back to where you were before the subject of this guy came up and you'd like to work things out so that you can clear the air and come to some agreement as to what to do should he ask you out. Or, you can just wait to see if he asks you out, do as you please if he does, then try to work things out with your friend if she decides to dump you as a friend. What makes the most sense to you? What do you think is the best way to handle the situation between your friend and the possible situation with this guy? What do you feel is right or wrong? Go from there. Good luck, GeekGal.

I dunno geekgal, are you saying that you both have feelings for the same guy and you want to know how to approach your friend about dating this guy? Let me see if I get this straight. Your friend has liked a guy for a long time, but they have never been in a relationship. You are now considering dating this guy and you would like to talk to your friend about dating him. Now your friend is mad that you have feelings for the guy. What is it that you are seeking advice about? Are you wondering what to do about you, your friend and the guy? Have either of you actually dated this guy?

Prioritizing your boyfriends/girlfriends over your family Posted: 10/11/2009 1:10:17 PM
Children always come first. Children might have to come to terms with mom or dad being in a loving, nurturing, happy relationship, so for a split second they might not be first if they need to understand adults have adult lives to live. Otherwise, children's needs before the parent's needs and before the newly found couple's needs. I gladly take second place when it comes to the man I'm dating and his children. I understand that bond can never be broken nor intruded upon! There has to be balance for all things and some days the romatic partner comes first, some days the family comes first, it just depends on what's going on. Going to your Great Uncle Joe's house for your 5th cousin's 10th birthday might be the priority for that day, or celebrating your SO birthday on an intimate, romantic level might be the priority. A crying child who needs comforting over the death of a cherished pet worm or a SO who needs comforting over a flat tire ... child wins hands down.

Is it ever okay to resort to violence? Posted: 10/11/2009 12:18:26 PM
No OP, it is never okay to resort to violence because someone "made you" mad, upset, resentful, hateful, angry, tired, pissed, etc etc. No one can "make" someone resort to physical violence. To "make" someone resort to physical violence you'd have to pick up their arm and move it in a bopping motion, pick up their leg and make it kick by bending ait t the knee and thrusting the lower leg forward, pick up their arms and thrust them forward in a pushing motion etc.

Can a bad relationship trigger a change in Sexual Orientation? Posted: 10/11/2009 11:57:35 AM
No makeba, it's not possible. A person is either gay, bisexual or straight, they can't become one or the other any more than they can become a lion or a car. Colt was absolutely spot on with his post. People who say a bad relationship "turned them gay" were gay to begin with and those particular people need to stop blaming others for the choices they made/make, about either their previous relationships or their current relationships. Maybe if someone was in a bad relationship they could be scared or uneasy about starting another relationship with someone, that's understandable on some level. But no, you can't switch teams because "someone made me".

She threw my car into park... Posted: 9/20/2009 5:53:19 PM
I dunno Trevor, you're a much better person than I. When she took the keys out the ignition, I would have wrestled them back and thrown her butt out of the car right then and there, in the middle of the road! That was very nice of you to take her home. In my opinion, after the hissy fit, she was lucky you took her home, let alone after reading the rest of the story! You seem to have met one of those "gold diggers" I always read about here on the forums. Lucky you, huh? Sorry that happened to you Trevor, but I'm glad you and your car are okay!

I am OK with not hearing I love you Posted: 8/15/2009 4:55:34 PM
normally, what people call "love" is really a feeling called lust. love is actually an action and a commitment to be loving whether or not the feeling is present. confusing love with a feeling just opens you up to self-deception. if you really love somebody, you're extending yourself to care for and be committed to that person. so why would there be a problem to say the words? of course, healthy relationships are not without their share of lust AND love, but it's a big mistake to not understand the difference between the two. Great that, motown-cowgirl! Maybe as your relationship grows and deepens rose marie08, you'll hear those words. I know for me, if I were in a committed, loving relationship, I'd want to hear those words and I'd want to be able to freely express those words. I hope in time you are able to express your feelings and thoughts with words that are satisfying for both of you.

What is the biggest misconception about you Posted: 8/15/2009 2:57:02 PM
My soft spoken, quiet, gentle nature is often seen as gullible or naive. Not true in the least bit. I'm not really shy, but I am abit reserved, espeically when first meeting someone or when I'm with strangers. I'm also very non-judgmental, sensitive and I easily forgive and forget, but that doesn't mean I'm anyone's carpet. I'm a very strong woman, just not in very vocal, loud or cold way. My strength is also gentle.

Men with hair on their chest, or NO? Posted: 8/15/2009 2:44:01 PM
The next girl I get with, she'll just have to accept it and find something else to complain about. Like why is all the hair over there, but not on your head where it would look better. LOL Madman It doesn't matter to me, as long as it's natural. If I had to choose between no hair because it was shaved off or waxed off, and a super hairy natural chest, I'd choose the super hairy natural chest every time. I like hair on men. Facial hair, back hair, chest hair, it's all good.

Cold Almonds Snack -- very easy recipe Posted: 8/15/2009 5:43:56 AM
I love almond butter, but don't really like almonds all that much because they have too much "crunch" for me. I love softer nuts like brazil, walnuts, cashews, macadamia etc. Almonds are such a nutritionally sound food, this seems worth a try! Maybe this method of preparing the nuts will convert me to an almond fan! Thank you, OP.

Exclusive dating??? Posted: 7/26/2009 6:47:17 PM
I don't recall ever being asked to be exclusive after one date. I think that's something I'd remember. lol! That would send up a gigantic red flag! I'd probably run! I prefer to date only one man at a time. That doesn't mean I want a commitment from the man I choose to date, I just like to get to know someone and see where things go. I don't see anything wrong with others dating several people at one time though, it's just not what I do. Like someone else posted in another thread, there are times I can't chew gum and walk at the same time, there's no way I can date several people at one time.

Lost a friend due to Ex. Now to fix things Posted: 7/26/2009 4:33:20 PM
Forgiveness is wonderful readyornot, we should all make a practice of it! I try to. The OP has tried to contact this woman on several occasions. Recently he sent her an e-card that she read, but didn't respond to. I would take that as a message that she doesn't want contact with him at this time. Maybe she'll contact him at a later date? She's had plenty of chances to respond to him recently and she hasn't though. One last try via email or something? I guess so, it might not hurt. But I wouldn't try any more past that. Sometimes no response is a clear message.

Totally agree with varinia. Definitely don't go to her place of work! If she hasn't contacted you, it means that she doesn't want contact with you, at least not right now. Maybe at a later date you'll hear from her, but for now you've done all you can, the ball is in her court. Be patient. Wait to hear from her. If you don't hear from her, you'll know where you stand.

Date Advice anyone? Posted: 7/26/2009 3:45:51 PM
I dunno, maybe he was being a gentleman by not coming on to you? Maybe he is truly shy, that would be why he kept looking away when you met his eyes? Maybe he was nervous? It sounds like he liked your boobs though! Do you like him? Are you interested enough in him to see him again to see where this whole thing goes? If so, contact him and let him know! If not, handle it the way you see fit. Good luck OP. Without us knowing what he is thinking or feeling, and what you think about all of this, it's hard to give you any sort of advice except ... do what pleases you!

what should i do ??? Posted: 7/26/2009 3:14:31 PM
I dunno, OP. It sounds to me like she wants to see others to see if there is someone better out there, not because she wants to make sure you are "the one". She wants to keep you on the sidelines, just in case. You really haven't been dating her have you, you've just been talking to her? That should tell you a whole lot. If someone really and truly wants you, they try to be with you, not just talk on the phone with you. I wouldn't continue along this path with her. She is definitely holding on to you, telling you what you want to hear without being with you, just so you will be on the sidelines in case she doesn't find someone else right away. I think, if she finds someone else more interesting, more attractive, more whatever (you seem interesting, attractive and whatever, I'm just guessing she's looking for something else and I have no clue what it is), you will sadly be history. I'm sorry, OP. That's just my take on things with the little information we have to go on. Take what I say with a grain of salt. Instead really think about what is happening between the two of you. I have a feeling you know the answers to your questions.

Is it really that hard to have a good time... Posted: 7/26/2009 1:10:48 PM
Even if I was instantly turned off by something someone did on a second date and knew I wouldn't want to see the man again, I would still be able to enjoy a beautiful night at the shore, on the boardwalk, eating an ice cream, listening to music, making the most of summer! Hopefully that wouldn't seem like I was leading the guy on though! That might be another way to look at it? Maybe the woman didn't want to seem like she was leading you on? Anyway, I agree, I believe in dating for fun and for getting to know someone, not for an instant connection (but I bet it's wonderful when that happens!) Sorry your evening was cut short, OP. There is still a lot more summer fun to be had though!

I get the analogy you were trying to make, OP. You weren't blaming the furniture for the demise of your marriage, but rather the furniture was an indicator of the status of your relationship within your marriage, in a metaphorical way. I get it. What was once one became two, both the furniture and you two as a married couple.

Better chocolate --European Brands or American Brands Posted: 7/25/2009 7:41:36 AM
I prefer European over American. I love milk chocolate, so based on my taste, European chocolate seems richer and creamier, American waxy and grainier. But ... There's something about a handful of Hershey Kisses, a York Peppermint Patti or a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup that is truly satisfying! Hershey chocolate is in a class all of it's own. It's not all that great in my opinion, but it's satisfying as all get out!

Straight hair vs. Curly hair Posted: 7/21/2009 3:16:23 PM
Message #4 ... that was rude ... but funny! I have the same warped sense of humor. The reason we straight haired people complain is because our straight hair becomes slick and oily-like in any sort of humidity. Maybe not such a bad thing in the grand scheme of things, but while your hair is jutting and springing out all over the place, free and lively, ours is sweaty and clinging to our sculls, making our heads look about three sizes too big for our bodies. Also, when straight hair gets limp and clingy from humidity, it tends to accentuate our most ugly facial features. So be happy OP! While some people are looking at your out of control curl fest, wondering if maybe they've misplaced their lost stapler or that pad of post-its in that mass of curls, they are also looking at us stringy headed people, wondering how our bodies manage to hold up such massive amounts of weight from our enormous noggins and they are also noticing how that pimple that sprouted up overnight has become the size of a meteor!

Yikes. Undies ... the new relationship indicator? I'm now officially scared of the man who buys new drawers long before the old ones wear out, but still keeps the old drawers around ... just in case!

Would you continue seeing someone if you found out they're really sick? Posted: 7/19/2009 8:10:20 AM
OP ... I am so happy for the both of you! I'm so happy to read about the improvement in his health, too. I wish both of you the best that life has to offer and many, many, many happy years together!

Reading between the lines Posted: 7/19/2009 7:25:40 AM
Ha ha! : I'm glad you posted that revolving email since I never read them! That was quite entertaining and a bit, okay maybe even more than a bit, truthful! I laughed out loud at "I heard a noise = I notice you were almost asleep" Whomever wrote that definitely knows how to read between the lines!

stood up! Posted: 7/19/2009 6:43:12 AM
Since you two already had four or five dates, I would give the guy a call to see what he had to say if he had something to say, if he even bothered to answer his phone, only after having made my mind up to move on as I was calling. I just can't imagine not being able to contact someone, in some way, to let them know you wouldn't be able to meet them at the time and place you both agreed upon. People who care about you, whether it be family, friends, that special one, or a potential special someone, don't just stand you up and leave you hanging. Sounds to me like he just didn't care. That sucks. Sorry this happened to you, OP.

Girlfriend or best friend??? Posted: 7/19/2009 5:27:56 AM
I agree with packagedeal. Sort out your feelings for your girlfriend before making any sort of move on anyone else. Maybe you'll find you still love your girlfriend, maybe you'll find you don't. Once you are clear about your relationship with your girlfriend, you'll know what to do next. We can't help you sort your feelings OP, you'll have to do that yourself. Take time to do it though, don't make any hasty decisions worrying about what the other woman may be doing. Get your emotions sorted and go from there. Good luck, OP.

Robert Downy Jr as Sherlock Holmes Posted: 7/17/2009 2:55:28 PM
Robert Downy Jr can do any acting part he wants and he'll always have at LEAST one fan showing up to watch! There are just some actors and actresses I love to see in film. Even when their movies get by the critics, I will be there! It's not because of anything other than I love the way they act and love the roles they choose to portray. Johnny Depp, Dustin Hoffman, Tom Hanks, Clint Eastwood, Robert Deniro, Robert Duvall, Morgan Freeman are a few, along with Robert Downy Jr, that I can think of off the top of my head. It should be interesting to see Downy's portrayl of Holmes!

What's for dinner? Posted: 7/17/2009 2:46:51 PM
Tonight was roast beef, Havarti, tomato, lettuce, mustard and mayo on brioche, with a green salad with feta and pine nuts, topped with Trader Joe's Cranberry, Walnut and Gorgonzola dressing. Dessert was a black apricot! Never had one before! It was absolutely delicious! Not as fuzzy or thick skinned as a "normal" apricot, the flesh was much juicier and not as firm as a "normal" apricot. It sort of tasted like a plum. I also am going to have two sugar (Italian) plums and later some watermelon. LOVE summer and all the summer fruits!
