Thank goodness!

Not to be confused with trad wives.

I hate this device

You already know ..

When I was a kid, Old Milwaukee came 8 ponies to a pack for less than $3. It was extremely popular, especially the shotgunnable cans. Thank heaven a friend's dad had a still, is all in saying.

C'mon, any Bud variety is bested by the others.

"I wondered lonely as a cloud..."

I'm sorry but star pie will in no way ever be a preference for me. I've never had it and do not wish to have it.

How rude (although it was a clever insult and I literally laughed. I needed that. Thanks)!

Fascinating. Hopefully someone itt have tried some of those and gives a critique.

Interesting. I never heard tea referred to as such and won't use it in speech, but it's a fascinating bit of trivia, for me.

Yes, I've never heard or seen anyone from the UK so much as acknowledge to Lipton as actually being tea. TBD, though, I actually prefer our Bigelow teas to Twinning, though. Especially the Earl Grey.

I may try that. Why not? Nutmeg is amazing in Alfredo, so I'm willing to try it. More toward fall, though. It's too hot in spring fur such heaviness

It's great for stomach troubles, arthritis though.

I'm very sorry and embarrassed most people from my country are this way, and very sorry for how you've experienced us itt. I really like Mediterranean and Thai food, though I'm not particularly good at making them from scratch. I did enjoy a decent-enough-for-frozen-but-by-no-means-decent eggplant Parmesan the other day, and the standard American version of pad Thai a couple of months ago, when I was out in a larger town. No lettuce rolls, though.

Well there you go. I'm an antique!

Whoosh!

Let me break it down: I never said any of what you just ASSumed, twice now. You didn't make an ass of me twice, however. And are quite intent on proving my point of American exceptionalism. You haven't even the wherewithal to look it up, nor feel embarrassment for it, which is why other cultures generally find us not only ignorant, but obnoxious as well.

I've been to craft breweries and several tastings at various ones. I just didn't find much that agree with my palate, but as I said, I'm not a beer person, in general. My friend back home used to make a rather nice home brew. I believe he may have used molasses to some extent, but it's been a very long time ago, and most of my alcohol consumption was from home brewed corn or fruit and heavily distilled. Except my grandmother's fruit concoctions, consisting of preserves, jams, jellies and way too sweet wines. They still beat Boone's Farm, MD and Triple Peach, though.

You never sang "Yankee Doodle," or "Yankee Doodle Dandy" on July 4, even as a kid? I'm southern as can be and these were staples on the Fourth, Memorial and Labor Days, as well as bright red hotdogs, chips (crisps), soda and Budweiser and PBR.

I don't currently have transportation and will be heavily occupied for several months. That said, I have attended events and spoken with Food Not Bombs people, and they are amazing, really good people. I had traveled a state north to do it, though, and if my plans pan out, I intend to find and work with them (in general, not necessarily the exact same people) in the future. Working with Atlanteans are quite possible, I won't discount them but in general hope to travel northwards a bit. But who knows what tomorrow holds, I could well end up in Georgia.

I live in the Deep South, and that's been my experience with the (precious few) anarchists and socialists, for that matter, that I've met, as well.
