I haven’t smoked in almost 11 years, but there are time I still crave it.

Very understandable! Most people have rituals associated with smoking. Your brain developed very powerful links. It's difficult to move away from them at times. The longer you stay quit, the more your body can repair some of the damage.

Specially in all these cookies I make from Christmas memories. Lots of butter this time of year.

I only use butter or organic oils, like coconut, in my baking.

 

[Lilianna23]

I have a sibling who bakes so many cookies every year around the holidays that they created a spreadsheet with all their recipes and quantities so they know how much of everything to buy at the grocery store. It's a lot!

I have "baking boxes" in my pantry. They don't include the butter, flour, sugar, or nuts in them.

No spruce poles for you!

(Pouting!)

Why not???

(Stamps foot)

 

[Lilianna23]

Is this dirty or is it just me? Be honest

I think it's you, babe! My mind is pure as the driven snow!

 

[Lilianna23]

I like raw spinach.

I like spinach. Cooked or raw. I love it sautéed in a bit of olive oil with garlic!

You know THOSE days? The kind where you're thrown under the bus during a large meeting, when the root cause is someone else being completely incompetent. Yeah, it's one of those days.

Someone was griping in front of everyone during the meeting that something NEEDS to be fixed because it's wrong. So naturally you say "I'll take a look at it, ONCE you actually let me know what the problem is.". When they do get you the information, and you do look, there is not a problem. The person doing the bitching was just incompetent and forgot how to do something they've done dozens of times...

Crown Royal take me away!

Resist the impulse to fix it! Make them ask you.

Hehe... hi all

[Lilianna23]

It is a good sized sporting creature that is good to eat

Oh, good to know. A delicacy, then?

So, it's not a..., um..., well, nevermind!

 

[Lilianna23]

It is definitely not just you although, as an Englishman, over half the phrases I see here sound like euphemisms!

Probably more than half ARE!

I think it's you, babe! My mind is pure as the driven snow!

Nope
No friend of mine can claim that bullshit.

 

[Lilianna23]

I have heard it said lol

Who told?!?!???

 

[Lilianna23]

No.. that's me among the general public

Watch out everyone!

 

[Lilianna23]

Oh my I’d love to see lol.

Hey, John! You seem new here. Let me give you the info ALL newbies to the thread get.

We conduct ourselves a bit differently than most other threads on Lit. We have 4 simple rules:
1. No politics
2. No religion
3. No drama
4. We don't hit on each other in the thread. Take that to the DMs. Not to say we don't have fun and throw out double entendres. We do. We're just not overt about it.

Take a look at the first post then perhaps go back and scan 10-20 pages to get the flavor of the place. We are like your friendly neighborhood bar. We're fiercely protective of our vibe and each other.

So, pull up a bar stool, have a drink, and see if you like it here. If you do, that's cool! Stay and play with us. If you don't, that's cool too. There are tons of other threads on Lit.

Kathy said Tuck it.

You need to use the Bevis and Butthead meme!

Hello everybody
Just stopping in to say I'm still here.
I'm just going through a rough patch right now & I'm not going anywhere...
Just being quiet

Hang there we are here for you.

I only use butter or organic oils, like coconut, in my baking.

Coconut oils have natural trans fats. I will not use any coconut oil. Avacado oil is my go to as it has a high burn temperature. And it has no strong odor like Olive oil.

I like spinach. Cooked or raw. I love it sautéed in a bit of olive oil with garlic!

Someone is Italian

Good morning early risers and insomniacs. Good day to those in Europe and other time zones.

No more fog or rain. Just clouds and cold.

I have to run some errands and bake more fruit cake kept moist with Scotch.

Hope you figure out your sleep. How did the Army help you deal with time change? That is like the hour ahead or back with DST EST. You think it is bad now, wait if Trump actually eliminates the change. It will be dark at 7 or 8 in summer instead of 8 or 9. I am hoping they don't change it.

I don’t even recall the time change making a difference. I don’t remember getting much sleep in the army at all. Def remember long days and nights, that’s for sure.

I don’t really care what time they keep it to. Whether it’s lighter longer or making earlier. Just stop it with the changing clocks. His time of year is rough for me any way you Slice it. These short days fuck me up. They start getting longer next week.

Snipe has a different meaning for me. Kind of bitchy, snarky, condescending, snotty.

"All she could do was snipe at the others,"

I think of an airplane.

 

[Wonderer67]

Let us know when you're due so we can have a baby shower!

It’s a girl!

I got fired from my job as an Uber driver. It turns out my customers didn’t like it when I tried to go the extra mile.

The first floor of my house is a complete disaster. The second floor – well, that’s a different storey.

Bono and The Edge walk into a bar. The bartender says, “Oh no, not U2 again.”

Just so everybody’s clear, I’m going to put my glasses on.

When I told my contractor I didn’t want carpeted steps, they gave me a blank stair.

Writing my name in cursive is my signature move.

A commander walks into a bar and orders everyone a round.

What’s the difference between in-laws and outlaws? Outlaws are wanted.

As amazing as cliffs are, they’re often overlooked.

What do you call a pig with laryngitis? Disgruntled.

How do you find Will Smith after a blizzard? Just look for the fresh prints.

Prison may be just one word to you, but for some people, it’s a whole sentence.

Good ones today, NC!

They’re awful!

That’s Mrs wonderers favorite side dish.

Hello Wonderer. One more week and the daylight gets longer. It affects the mood for sure, and some more than others.
