  1. Jeopardy taught me something this evening -- that bourbon is made from corn. I like bourbon, but never knew its origins and it wasn't until the quiz that I realized I'd never even wondered. Isn't moonshine made from corn? Does that mean that bourbon is a fine version of the likker that's made beyond the eyes of the revenooers?

      I had work in KY. Great history and legends in the industry. Its also huge in Ireland and Scotland I love visiting wineries too. My visits to Napa were great. In NY there is this one. http://www.tuthilltown.com/ Nice heavy rye bourbon

      Gardiner is only about 2 hours up the Hudson, a nice area. Hmm... It might happen. I had no idea there's production in NYS other than the wineries. P.S. Because you mentioned jazz in Djmohr's status on wine, I mentioned a film that might be of interest to you.

  2. Just saw it for the first time ever and was surprised by my reaction: It's tacky to park one's butt on a website such as this to hawk one's pyramid-scheme products. And I'm just a disinterested user of the site.

      There were quite a few threads from her selling the product(s).

      Today was my first time seeing her. When I noted the date she joined, though, I expected that she'd started others.

      Yea 15 days worth probably. When we see crap like that we need to report it. Doing it at 1 am in the morning thinking no one will see it.

  3. Just stumbled upon oodles and scads of previously unknown-to-me forums, subforums and itsybitsy forums. When I have a pocketful of pebbles and a compass, I'll begin the exploration.

  4. Kill, BLUE! Maim, HUSKERS! Mutilate, PIRATES! Grrr, DAWGS! Who's that, Nebraska Prairie Dogs or sumpin? What did I walk into here? It's okay as long as you're all feeling ferocious.

      Haha, my husband is from South Dakota, their mascots are Coyotes and Jackrabbits. Terrifying, right?

      @ShelterDog64, I'm from Brooklyn where had squirrels and sparrows year-round and, in season, jackalopes.

  5. Lapband as plaything or, in a sense, condom? Interesting.

      Ha Ha! Too funny :)

      @krakow57, I didn't mean to be "ha ha" funny. It was an observation on a post that I chose not to respond to.

    3. OzRoo

      OzRoo

      Fair enough. Just that it seemed funny to me, not knowing what it was all about. Now it is interesting .....

      Yes, some posts are best left alone.

  6. Looking forward to Saturday with McCoy Tyner, Ron Carter, Wallace Roney, Roy Haynes and transcendent music in the Park.

  7. Made a new friend today while waiting for the 2nd Ave. bus. We talked, rode together and stopped in for coffee upon alighting. Exchanged numbers, too. Who knows?

      What a nice NYC story. I've had some nice conversations with strangers as well while on public transportation. It's harder these days though with everyone plugged into their phones.

       

    3. WLSResources/ClothingExch

      I should have been clearer. It was a woman, not a potential date for me, and she's 83. Smart as hell, witty, aware, open-minded, spirited, etc. We had a very long wait for the bus and conversation flowed in many directions. The bus ran slowly, so more time to talk. We live only 3 blocks apart, so got off together. WE had so much fun that I had an instant's thought of suggesting number exchange, something I've never done. I kept quiet, but she made the suggestion. That gave me the bit of chutzpah to suggest the coffee. Y'know, people always have the intentions, but the follow-up fizzles. If we don't get in touch, I still had a terrific encounter that made the day nicer. It really was wonderful.

  8. May a woman open a topic in "Male Only?" A brief exchange between two male characters on "The Good Wife" lingers for its interestingness (see the italics?) , humor and surprise element. Would the gentlemen amongst us take part? Let's see what happens.

    1. Proud2BMe

      Proud2BMe

      I would say to respect that the men's forum is for men only. Just like the women's forum is for women only. If you want you can post it to the general discussion forum and ask for guys to chime in.

    2. WLSResources/ClothingExch

      WLSResources/ClothingExch

      That's what I was thinking, but have not yet decided for sure. In either case I hope that only men post. Women can read only in my book.

  9. Next person to use the word "cheated" in the context of food gets slapped.

      I've always said it's not a cheat, it's a choice. I'm far too old to believe that I really can't stop myself from eating cookie. I can, I just choose not to from time to time.

  10. Nine consecutive days of eating like a civilized loser of weight. Might this be the restart I've been flailing for?

      That is flippin' awesome! I'm so proud of you.

      Absolutely! Believe it!

  11. No, not every little thing that happens in the two months post-op is a result of surgery, not even that mosquito bite.

  12. November 22, 1963, my parents' 24th wedding anniversary.

      :D What an awesome status. *hugs*
  13. OKC Pirate, this is for you. I think your latest topic is in the 'men only' forum not because of the product, but because of the joke. Were you 100+ years younger, you'd have been a guest at the barbecue at Twelve Oaks. I sent the groupon link to a friend who has been slender from birth and has always been vexed by having nothing to keep his pants from sliding a bit.

      Sorry no like button on comments, but I would have liked the potato comment

      Easy for you to say, as it comes from your own locker-room joke, which, by the way, was a surprise. I think I'd never before seen you doing locker room material. (The joke is funny, but I'm far way too far sophisticated to say as much. Therefore, you didn't read it here. Dammit, it's getting funnier now that I think of it again. I may guffaw any moment. Don't be surprised. I love "Family Guy.")

    3. OKCPirate

      I am a South Park, Monte Python, Family Guy fan. But remember, I put the locker room joke in the men's section, just saying.

  14. People wonder why I've been arranging these WLS clothing exchanges for so long. The ne plus ultra is that I may get to officiate a wedding not too far down the line! Yippee! The great pair of black pants and the pretty blouse that I brought home pale by comparison.

  15. Please help fellow member northstar9148. She has PMs waiting for her, but needs info on how to access them from BariatricPal App on her SM-J700T. The best way to reach her to assist is by posting in topic "Pre/Post Surgical Plans Are Not Required" (OP 4MRB4PHOTO). Thanks, folks.

  16. Q: "Why does the lapband fail?" A: Because it doesn't study. (If you missed it, I'm entertaining myself.)

  17. Really need to know at what message count "aspiring evangelist" begins. What follows it?

  18. Saw "The Book of Mormon" today, finally. Highly irreverent and juvenile in a frat-boy vein. What else could one expect from the creators of "South Park?" Lots of fun.

      I have never laughed so hard as when I saw it. Was so outrageous at times, you just can't be offended.

      It was great. @LipstickLady -- judged by people in your area? The bible belt, I think? @suzzzzz -- if no one's offended, the show would have closed long ago. I did wonder, though, whether everyone in the audience knew what they were coming to beyond a hit show. We're still in heavy tourist season here.

  20. Slap me silly. I thought I'd hit a plateau, but no-o-o, I simply slowed by loss by several days of bad eating. Isn't it funny that smart eating works? Maybe I needed the goof because I feel reenergized to do this right.

    1. WLSResources/ClothingExch

      WLSResources/ClothingExch

      "Snacking?" What's that? Never heard of it. Never ever.

      It was the pumpkin tortilla chips from Trader Joe's that finally got me... :'(

    3. WLSResources/ClothingExch

      WLSResources/ClothingExch

      Early in my lapband career I was able to measure out 1/2 ounce or a full ounce of chips as I planned meals. Then something changed and I couldn't stop, so I stopped buying them for the rest of the time that I stayed with the plan. I don't know if I'd be able to control it now, so I won't take the chance on buying chips yet.

  21. Some of my knickers are too loose to wear. Others don't hurt any more.

    1. ShelterDog64

      ShelterDog64

      I have panties with baggy butts. So weird. Or is this more along the lines of "My knickers are no longer in a twist"? ;-)

  22. Some people should be chloroformed.

      Meanwhile .... sleepless in Queensland, again .... I do need that chloroform to put me out of my misery .... Let's swap!

      PS, I'm bit over the real world myself atm. No pizzas though ..... just a sleep deprived loony feeling .....

      Djmohr

      I was kind of thinking the chloroform would knock me out too. Could not fall asleep until after 2:30 am and then this lousy cold had me up at 6:30. Have to take father n law to the doctor this morning so i can not go back to bed.

      @Djmohr -- You'll be tired today, but you're doing a mitzvah. That's a good thing.
