Let's agree to disagree, Mmmmkay?

stoneycakes

Downton Abbey doesn't do it for me.

stoneycakes

Neither does Harry Potter.

I kind of want to buy the Wolfgang Puck pressure oven I saw on TV this morning, but I'm afraid it's automatically a bad decision  because it was a product on an infomercial.

I can't stop watching Anderson Cooper kissing Stoneycakes.  It's awkward.

UO: Half a bottle of perfume doesn't cover your cigarette smoke smell, it just makes it worse.

When you saw it were you sleep deprived? Because that totally makes a huge difference in terms of how awesome an infomercial product seems.

Well, so does IQ, but I already know that you're not stupid.

Nicest thing ITK has ever said on TB.

Right??!?!?!?

Oh...so not sleep deprived, but possibly weakened by morning grogginess? LOL.  I was just saying to DH that I would like something for reheating instead of the microwave.  We used to not have a microwave at all and, even though it took a little longer, I felt reheating by other methods had much better results.  

This is a so called "low pressure oven."  Not sure if that's some BS name for it or if it actually uses pressure in the same way as a pressure cooker.  Anyway, it's supposed to cook things 70% faster than a conventional oven.  I'm intrigued.

stoneycakes

Also, I like the idea of having a second oven for times when I'm roasting/baking more than one thing for dinner and they're supposed to be done at different temps.

@Mapleme‌ You never complain about Mr. Maple; I'm kind of relieved to see that he is fallible after all. But I'm sorry he has annoyed you and that logic is being a B this morning.

My UO is that this is my first time watching Dora and it's already getting in my nerves. Can there just be a Mickey Mouse channel? At least I can tune him out.

I don't like Harry Potter as a character. Especially in the books.  They weren't bad, but I don't think I would every read them again.

I don't get all the hype about it.

I like orchestral movie soundtracks. I have two from HP movies.

I've heard pieces of it on Pandora and it is good! I might have to buy that one.

If you haven't seen the movie, its very good, but it's also a very raw and depressing look at addiction.  That's part of the reason the sound track gives me chills, but the music is very good.

The orchestra music to RFAD is fantastic. As is the movie, but definitely hard to watch at times.

Donald Duck is my favorite Mickey Mouse character. He's brusque and forgoes pants. I can get behind that.

if you use it for other types of things…like I'll put it on scratches or dry patches…and it makes you smell delicious

unaveragejane

My UO is actually sort of a retraction. Last week I stated that I don't like pumpkiny baked goods, because of an incident with some sort of soapy something on a piece of pumpkin bread (this incident did really happen, about seven years ago).


Sheesh, @ovenrack‌. I said I was sorry! Let it go already! :-p

Cold, rainy days are the best. the BEST

We have a grocery outlet in our town-I think it works by getting overstock items from grocery stores around here so items are extremely cheap-and not out of date.  You can get name brand cereal for about a dollar per box

I LOVE shopping there for certain items.  I can buy ten boxes of cereal for super cheap

This is my issue with Grandma Els. It smells like fruit to me, which is not what I want my kids butt to smell like. 

Grandma Els smells like Red Bull to me. I hate it.

I'm not mourning the end of summer at all.  I'm looking forward to cooler fall days and *squee* decorating for Christmas!

TJ, you live in Texas, do you ever have to mourn the end of summer?

I'm, with Stoney on this one, andI love the fall holidays. But winter here sucks.

Christmas is exactly three months away from today BTW.

I think animal cruelty/abuse/crimes should be punished just as seriously as human-on-human crimes.

I love angsty, emo music.

I have no idea what this is

I think this is ridiculous.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge animal lover.  And I think animal abuse is appalling.  But kicking a puppy is just not the same as kicking a baby.

I just hate decorating for Christmas.  It's SOOOO much work, I refuse to do it before Thanksgiving (because UO: Thanksgiving is the greatest holiday of all time), and we are usually not even in town for Christmas so it seems like such a waste of time.  And it takes FOREVER to clean up.  But I don't want to be the only house on the block with no lights, and I don't want to deny E childhood memories of Christmas trees and nativities.

stoneycakes

I just concentrate on decorating the inside of the house.  Stick some candles in the window and a wreath on the door and call it a day, TJ

I agree that they are not the same, but I do think that people who abuse animals should be punished and righted in their behavior, just the same as someone who abuses a person would.

I enjoy winter for about 4 weeks.  Then I'm over it.  But it refuses to leave.

TJ1979

What is this "spring" you speak of?  I'm not familiar.

Ohhhh, is it that one day after winter where it is tolerable to be outside?

Grandma El's smells like the Strawberry Shortcake doll my little sister had back in the 80s.

OMG.  I think I know exactly what smell you are talking about!  I had that doll, too.  Once in awhile I come across a lip balm or something that smells exactly like it.  Now I want some Grandma El's, ha!

Stoney - is Anderson sniffing you a little bit when he kisses you?  That is sooo creepy.

I didn't realize he was even kissing until it was talked about in another thread. I thought he was just sniffing the whole time.

I am excited for fall and already have my house decorated. 

And I LOVE Christmas and am so excited to share all of the festivities with E this year. 

But if we have a winter like last year that just didn't end, I might lose it.
