Afternoon UO Review and Rehash (and now Hogwarts House Sorting)

LuckyDad

Not a true recap, but this thread will serve the purpose of letting those of us who were tardy to the party talk shit on politely discuss UOs that were posted at 4 or 5 am my time.

I love Olympic Hockey but can't get it up for the rest of the winter olympics. And some of you are mistaken about what season Gymnastics are.

CinemaGoddess

Ranch is still the devil's snot in a bottle or a ramekin.  

LuckyDad

Also, in hindsight, Russia seems like it was a bad choice for the Olympics. SHOCKING the money trail is turning out to be corrupt and way over budget. Just shocking. And that's before the homophobia.

Ranch is so nasty. Just... ew.

LuckyDad

I'm mostly jelly of people who have the energy and money to go out 2-3 nights a week. But I'm also in my 30s and most of my friends don't like to go out to bars very often anyway either. Why go out when we can just chat online while watching our own programs in the comforts of our living rooms?

So what you're saying here is, you do not in fact like ranch? HAVE YOU TRIED IT?

CinemaGoddess

I have no problems going out 2-3 nights a week. 

One night to dinner.

One night to go to the Starbucks and read.

One night to go to the bookstore and get new books.

Um, I have stricter standards for what "going out" consists of

Like, going to Target at 8:30 PM for wipes and paper towels is not "going out"

LuckyDad

Cocoa powder in coffee: Ok, well, so if it's sugar added cocoa mix, then it's really Coffee + Sugar + Cocoa. Which is delish, but really just adding cocoa to sugared coffee.

My CEO loves coffee so hard that he pays for a fancy-ass machine that grinds the beans on the spot and has options to add all kinds of flavors to it. I usually for the Vanilla one, but the cocoa added one is good too.

I have decided going out is now get-a-sitter-so-we-can-come-home-early-from-the-bar-and-have-sex-instead-of-staying-out-late.

And I bet it isn't two days old!

Keurigs produce the most mediocre coffee possible. Convenient, but really, it's basically just very good instant coffee. If all you want is the caffeine, more power to you. But I didn't cry when ours broke.

We don't go out.  We drop the kid off at the in laws for the night and get drunk in our kitchen.  This usually results in me dressed up in a bacon costume, posting selfies on here with a large bottle of booze in my hand.

This may happen on Saturday...

Two day old coffee is a special weekend treat.

I don't even have to ask if you've worn the bacon costume to bed.

8 o'clock coffee is some of the best, and it's super cheap. ::off to make a pot::

It is going out if you go out by yourself and you have nobody there to bug you or need anything from you.

Going out to dinner by yourself >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> going out to bars. 

TRUE STORY.

My phone refuses to cooperate with the UO today so I am hoping the rehash gets more interesting. I hate Keurig coffee. And I am by no means a coffee snob. Even with good beans I'm the DIY pod, it doesn't taste right to me.

Well, you are currently living in the Coffee Capital of the US. Even Starbucks is better in Seattle, and they're supposed to be somewhat standardized.

CinemaGoddess

I love my Keurig and the coffee it makes. 

I've even hugged it on occasion.

I've seen fun taint's wife on here-- she's smokin like some sizzling bacon.

MIL gave us a Keurig for Christmas, and I'm pretty meh about it. The coffee is okay, but the damn pods are so fucking expensive. I can get a huge thing of Folgers for like 12 bucks that will last over a month, or I can get 18 fucking Folgers pods for 12 bucks that will last a week. I"m ready to stick it in the cabinet and plug our regular pot back in. Not to mention the fact that now every time MIL calls, she has to bring up the damn Keurig. How are we liking it? What coffees have we tried? And on and on like she's fishing for us to fawn all over her for buying us the greatestest gift ever. Annoying.

missyishere

Folger's is nasty. Go buy some 8 O'Clock. It's not much more and tastes so much better.

ReeseFox

The last time DH and I went out sans chillrens was October 2012 for his birthday. He got wasted and annoying and I wanted to murder him by the end of the night. Since then we've planned and cancelled several date nights. I'm pretty sure E's ready to spend the night at grandma's so hopefully we'll make it happen in the near future.

ReeseFox

::shrugs:: I like Folgers. I've never heard of 8 O'clock.

I try it every 6 months or so. 

It's never tasted good to me.  Ever.  

CinemaGoddess

I do like Cool Ranch Flavor Doritos, tho.

We went to see a comedian in September 2012 and some friends watched DS. We saw a movie right after Christmas since my parents were here visiting. Maybe if we had family nearby we would try and go out more than once a year

We have both of my parents and my BFF close and willing to babysit and still can't seem to make it happen. Mostly because my H is a homebody and kind of a killjoy.

ReeseFox

Yea I think Fucky had a reading comp fail.

ReeseFox

Why the fuck won't my avatar show up? Is it just me? Do y'all see a generic TB avi for me?

missyishere

Folger's is only good for :poop:

thebanich

I'm trying to resist making a cup of coffee at 4:00pm but everyone keeps talking about it.


GAAHHHHH

NotSharknado

I don't discriminate against any coffee. I'll chew it if I'm desperate.

I see a dog (?) reading a book. I know that's not your usual avatar though.

It's a fox. I couldn't see my old avatar so I changed it to see if it made a difference. I see when I go to my profile, but when I post it's a blue box with flowers. WTF?

@CinemaGoddess have you tried homemade ranch dressing?  From a good bar or restaurant?  I can understand how you'd feel meh about bottled Hidden Valley from the grocery store, but there's a place around here that makes it fresh and it's out of this world.  It's like the sex of salad dressing.

thebanich

mhmmmm coffee

<----------- No self control.

missyishere

@mbenit4 is drinking haterade. I do live in Iowa, so I can put all the overalls on my kid if I want since corn fields and farms?

Rach21

@pobrecita, it actually tastes like nothing at all! I have to drown my quinoa in butter and sea salt… which probably negates any health benefits.

I hate quinoa. Shits nasty.

I really tried to give it a go, and I couldn't do it either. And I'm not picky.

CinemaGoddess

I still call it Kin-oh-uh.  Keen-wah sound wrong.
