The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

I worked in the er... people do stupid things
Former emt, yep, they really do
Some things that come to mind
Starting fires with gasoline
Car surfing
Welding without protective gear
Ding dong ditch on the west side of a town full of rednecks
Huffing paint, getting the cops called and then doing shit to get tased
Etc
We wouldn't survive without it!

Have any of you seen the YouTube Channel "Fire Department Chronicles"?

Choose wisely... there are some real :eek: vids on there. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
 
Ok, I am less cold now, and less cranky, but still perturbed. I am assuming it is some scam related thing, but a female looking profile, usually with 2 posts, will message me, introduce them selves, slow roll a conversation and then stop when we get to my age... different profiles but they always open with"Hi, how are you doing?" Anyone else know what happens if you are rhe right age?

yeah, I have gotten random women PMing me out of nowhere. My back immediately gets up & it doesn’t feel real. I have answered the first one, then got a super bad feeling about it, and left the convo. Then about an hour later I got another one from a different name but the same picture. Then I knew it was some kind of scam. I’ve gotten 2 more & haven’t even responded & just left the convos & ignored any additional responses. I’m not sure how it’s a scam, and I can’t prove it. But I’m sure it’s some kind of scam.
 
I cut off the top part of my thumb pad while cleaning a mandoline. No one laughed though. It took a while to get the bleeding to stop.
I was pushing the yams over the mandolin at Christmas time one year. I do this thing we call Christmas crack and only make once a year. A little pricey for the cheese but worth it. Recipe at the end.
Anyway, every year now we talk about me jamming my thumb in in the blade and how we looked for blood to make sure I didn't mess up the yam slices dropping into the cream. I had pushed my thumb into the blade side ways through the quick and about halfway into the nail. Gruesome and late enough Christmas day I use tape and gauze to keep it wrapped. The next day found these really cool little finger sized condoms to make it through the holidays. Fixed it. Can't tell which thumb it was. hahaha I recently chopped my middle finger with a knife I had just sharpened. Well honed. It was already sharp. Not working I got one of those Ken Onion Edition mk2's with attachments to keep the blade level. Same thing with water proof band aids - probably next something brand - and finger condoms when I needed to separate it from food prep. Can only see the line where it went in now. That one may have changed my middle finger print.
Lopping the top off? How to you get the bleeding to stop on that? I'd be asking Missk and Lilianna for advice again. Thanks you two for a couple years ago, I was really afraid and you made it pretty cool.

2 cups Heavy Cream
1 tsp salt
3 lbs yams, peeled
1/2 cup Shredded [Grand Cru] Gruyere

You'll Need:9-inch x 9-inch baking dish, mandolin, nonstick cooking spray, large baking sheet I use 9x17 bakes better/burns a little

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1.Spray baking dish with nonstick spray. Place baking dish on baking sheet.

2.Stir together heavy cream and salt in large bowl. Using mandolin, slice yams into bowl, coating slices with cream mixture as you work.

3.Layer 1/3 of yams in baking dish. Sprinkle with half of cheese. Repeat with another 1/3 of yams and remainder of cheese. Top with remaining yams. Pour any remaining yam-cream mixture over top.

4.Bake uncovered on center rack of oven 30 min. Remove from oven.

5.Press fork or spatula, carefully, against top layer to allow liquid to flow over "crust." Replace pan in oven; bake 30 min. Remove pan; press top layer to allow liquid to flow over top. Replace pan in oven; bake 40-45 min or until yams are tender. Remove from oven; let rest 15 min.

Get enough the first time round. There will not be seconds or left overs.
