No you didn't!! :twobyfour:

I'm sure your two daughters (and maybe your wife) are enjoying having such a festive assortment of lights in front of the house. Consider it a deposit in three love banks. grin

I'm setting up a webcam with a live stream. I'll email her the URL. That's the ticket!

A word of advise: neighbor kids on a tunafish diet at home are like stray cats - never feed em or you can't get rid of em!

Not everyone agrees on everything. Therefore at least some of us are wrong.

Yet we all always believe we are right.

So this is either black or white.

Then what we do with that belief or to what extreme we take it follows a broad spectrum.

I differentiate the two.

If the person agrees with our POV, we aren't offended. If the person disagrees, we are offended.

I suspect many BS's at some point have similar views to Aphelion. Maybe they don't express them so they don't offend me if I believe differently.

I see people vehemently opposing Aphelion who have his same evangelistic fervor (two sides of the same coin) and yet since their belief is more in line with mine, no problem.

I just find that interesting.

That is faulty logic, Pio, and I didn't expect it from you. That's not a criticism, I'm just surprised.

Do we? I always have an open mind.

Is "offended" the right word? I think if a person agrees with us we feel validated and if a person disagrees with us we feel compelled to put our side of the argument on why we see things the way we do. (lol, try working at a university where this is put into practice every single minute of every single hour of every single day)

Currybread men actually sound quite good. After all ginger is a spice - why wouldn't beefed up currymen be just as tasty?

See Pio - Aphelions words do not affect me in the slightest - I know my wife - and we are 3 years into real recovery. Unlike Aphelion, my wife actually loves me and shows it in all possible ways.

Nut - he sucks the hope out of new people - which really is my only motive in refuting him. As well as it is a slight on every FWS and FWW in particular on MB who start secondguessing themselves all over again.

There is also the FACT that on another site he posts sympathetically and compassionately to WW's etc - so why is MB the site of his crusade?

ALL is not as it seems.

I should have said threatened instead of offended. Good point.

Yes, threatened is a good word for it.

Ketchup is a thixotropic fluid. That means it has a lower viscosity when under shear and what THAT means is that it will indeed come out faster if you shake the bottle.

I personally find hitting the bottle from the side rather than the bottom to be more effective.

They don't affect me either BigK and I know for a fact they are meant to (he's said as much).

I know who I am, who I was (and will never be again) and my H, my family and I are all very happy with that.

Maybe - but smacking the bottom is much more fun.
