    Give me a king bed any day! 

    DH and I were just talking about that last night actually when we were watching The Big Bang Theory and Sheldon and Amy are in a super tiny full/queen bed. I just can't imagine being that close to my husband while sleeping haha. We are just not cuddlers. 
    H and I always comment on their bed, that thing is like a twin size!

  • I have to join on the tomato haters. I also am a cheese quesadilla eater at mexican restaurants. Although I LOVE guacamole. And obviously chips and queso. 

    I am also not a tattoo lover. I don't really care if other people have them, although I have to admit that there is some level of judgement passed on terrible, visible, profane tattoos. Its almost involuntary and I sometimes have to tell myself that it doesn't necessarily mean anything about the person!

    I have to go with @bacorrea. I think that the United situation was handled poorly - by United, by the TSA officers, AND by the passenger. (I refuse to refer to him as "the doctor" because it's 100% irrelevant what his profession is - or his past for that matter). It is well within the right of the airline to remove a passenger from a plane for many reasons, including needing to get a working crew to their next flight. Also, a captain has the right (since 9/11) to remove a passenger for practically any reason and his or her decision is final. Period. It's the LAW. I would have also been pissed if I were the passenger, but to take it to the point where you need to be forcibly removed is too far, in my opinion. I also am irritated by all the other passengers on the plane who were so upset by the fact that this "doctor" needed to get back to Louisville for "life saving" work and yet no one volunteered to take his place. Instead they got all their phones out. Every man for himself mentality. Don't get me wrong, from many standpoints, I think United and ESPECIALLY the guards or TSA agents or whatever they are handled it poorly. Its just a media circus and I think it's been very one-sided, as many stories are portrayed by the mainstream media.

    There, a REAL UO!
  • Regarding the United passenger situation- if you haven't read the article written by a pilots wife, read it! I tend to agree with her point of view in this article. It is all a media circus...

  • My UO was going to be about United, too, and I thought it would be really unpopular, but turns out you're all on the same line of thinking. I think the passenger was acting childish and entitled. I don't condone the force used to get him off the plane, but contracts exist for a reason and passengers get bumped sometimes. I would be really unhappy if it happened to me, but life isn't always fair. You don't throw a tantrum.

    Google Chicago Style Hotdog And try it just once. I do variations of it but it's so good. And it's never with ketchup. Also, what kind of hotdogs to they make in Australia? I LOVE LOVE LOVE a Vienna all-beef or Nathan's but don't put a Oscar Meyer hotdog near me. Blah. 
    Only time ketchup is allowed is if 6-year-old-sarah makes an appearance and adds a hot dog to my Mac and cheese. Then ketchup is acceptable  :D

    @sarah0985 hotdogs here are the sweetend buns with a "hotdog" (Frankfurt, gross meat wrapped in what I can only assume is red plastic) ketchup and mustard on them, I know some people who eat cheese on them.
    a "snag sandwich" is a much more popular option which is a real sausage, cooked on a BBQ/grill and put on a piece of buttered bread with sautéed onions and either BBQ (brown? Think that's UK? :confused: ) sauce or ketchup.

    I refuse to eat hotdogs, they are disgusting :-/ 

    Eta: I think this may actually be an UO... nothing about a Chicago hotdog sounds appealing to me

  • No, we don't have them here! I think the UK has them but they never made it to this side of the Atlantic. 

    I might not get footy but I do appreciate your alcohol and food game, you guys are alright.

  • @WombThereItIs just look at footy as gridiron for men who aren't pansies :lol: seriously though, I don't understand it either.
    I probably could've lived without ever having tried beer on my cornflakes though... that isn't the way to go about curing a hangover... I wish 16yr old

    These might not be exactly the same but Trader Joe's has individual-portion frozen steak & ale pies! 

    And @PartiallyDomesticated, haha, guys aged 16 to 50. That cracks me up!

    @BeachMommy2B don't be scared lol, it's a crust of pastry filled with meat and gravy (can be different flavours, traditionally it's beef mince with beef gravy, but you can also have other meats and sauces) it's totally safe to google.

    eta: think Apple pie but with meat and gravy not apples inside! It's just the savoury version really.

    eta x2: I never looked into the difference a "pie" is a large pastry crust with sweet or savoury filling a "meat pie" is exactly the same but smaller "hand sized" so yes @SKZW individual pies would be the same.

    @BeachMommy2B: no, they are so yummy, don't be afraid, it's like 10x better than a pot pie... the flaky buttery crust, the gravy and meat and root veg... <drool>

    The only detail I have heard, as I hear more and more about this United situation, that I feel was a true fail on United's part is this:

    I read that initially only one employee needed a seat, and that was taken care of before passengers were boarded. Then passengers were boarded. THEN this group of 4 showed up wanting seats. So United started asking for more volunteers from a fully boarded plane. I think once you've been allowed on the plane, you should not be involuntarily removed for something such as this. The drive from Chicago to Louisville is 4.5 hours, and with that level of unpreparedness (being unreasonably last minute), United at that point should have instead rented the crew a comfy vehicle and had them drive since they weren't working a flight until the following day.

    The injured passenger was wrong to refuse compliance, wrong to run back onto the plane, and I've read his injuries were not a direct beating but rather suffered during the general struggle when he hit an armrest. Law Enforcement did have every right to remove him and to use necessary force to do so. I feel their level of force was within reason. I personally feel they had grounds to at least tase him, which they didn't do. If this man didn't fight them so hard, perhaps he wouldn't have suffered such injury. 

    And United's statement that they'll never use law enforcement to remove a passenger from one of their aircraft is scary, and THAT is what will keep me off their aircraft.

    It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I don’t know you. Stranger Danger.
  • @rkstro2 I always wonder who cleans it all up after a home birth! DNW to be cleaning up my own blood and placenta off the dining room floor.  :s
  • @PartiallyDomesticated and @SKZW so by that definition of a meat pie wouldn't that be called a pasty? They are all over the UP and around some places in Michigan. Same thing?

    Yeah seriously!  Congrats you just delivered your baby like a boss so now you get to clean up your mess!  I so hope there is a cleaning plan in place so the new mom doesn't have to do it. 
    Eta:  all my expertise from watching crime shows indicates it's hard to clean up blood.  Hopefully the cleanup plan includes a professional crime scene cleaner!
  • In Phoenix we have both a meat pie truck and a few pasty restaurants   I think the difference is that meat pies are like individual little pies in a small pie plate and pasties are more of a small calzone shape.  They are all delicious.

  • I did not shed one tear when Randall's dad died on This is Us. I thought the whole episode was really well written and a good tribute to him, but I didn't cry.
  • I'm uncomfortable with the fact that meat pies and placentas on dining room floors are being discussed in such close proximity.  :#
    Hahaha this had me laughing out loud!

    So I've never seen a meat pie but it sounds gross to me so I think they go together nicely!

    Similar thing, a pastie is all puff pastry and is a different shape whereas a meat pie is like any other pie in that it has a short crust "bowl" with a puff pastry lid.
    Pasties here are also usually vegetarian

  • @SKZW @PartiallyDomesticated there's an English Pub super close to us that serves an awesome Cornish Pasty that I eat with HP sauce. DH dad is from London originally & DH mom is from Austria. DH made me schnitzel on our first date. So basically all I'm trying to say is I want a pasty now! Also a Smithwick's but I'll have to wait on that one
