I hope you told him to back off and that opinions are only valuable when asked for. Grrr.

Remember, opinions are like assholes, wveryone has one and not all should be heard from.

Happy Sunday and Happy World Chocolate Day. Have a good one.

WARNING: Chocolate Rant Ahead:  If you're going to have chocolate, get something good. I don't eat a lot of chocolate, but a while ago, my Husband promised me a Crunchie Bar. I loved them once upon a time. It took him a while to find one, but he did. I'm grateful to Him, but it seems in the world of chocolate bars, they are now candy bars, and it tasted, well, like crap. That brown coating is no longer chocolate and not worth eating.  From now on, if I want chocolate, that's what I will buy.  Chocolate rant over.

Oh it's such a disappointment when the memory of something is so tasty....but reality isn't.  A few years back I had a nostalgic hankering for grape soda, something I hadn't drank in probably 20 years.  

 

Friends.  It was disgusting lol.  I'm not sure if the recipe changed, my taste buds did or some combo but yikes on bikes it was terrible.  One sip and I threw it away lol

Well, it is Monday. I hope you're all having a good one. We got up early, went for breakfast, and then did our walk in the mall, which is cooler.

This one is a bit odd. I rather think you have to wake up to make your dreams a reality, but hey, what do I know?

Thank you for letting us know how you are, rick.  Keep on top of the pain with your meds. No heroics.   I hope your recovery is short. 

All the best.

I did the same thing, once. I was at the bus station, sitting in a chair, and the vending machines were directly in front of me. I was feeling parched, and I thought to myself, "I haven't had a Mountain Dew in a long time. Probably been years." So, I fed some money into the machine, got my drink, and returned to my chair. After opening it, I took one long swig---and immediately spat it out, cartoon style. Some other people were giving me weird looks, so I said, "Now I remember why I stopped drinking this stuff; it tastes like battery acid." I put the cap back on the container and threw it in the trash can afterwards.

I'm almost afraid to say this...but that happened to me with bacon.  I had to stop eating red meat and pork about 5 years or so ago.  One of the things I really missed was bacon.  It smells so good cooking!  A few years back I was on vacation with my family and someone ordered a plate of it.  It looked amazing.   It smelled amazing.  I was on vacation and I  REALLY wanted some.  So decided to take the risk and broke off half of a strip.   Took one bite.  Was like biting into a solid piece of salt.  I couldn't finish it and sadly sat it back on the plate.  I haven't craved it since.

Some can be super-salty, especially if the bacon is smoked. Cooking methods are a factor, too. In my experience, cooking bacon on a sheet pan in the oven gives a better result than frying it in a skillet.

This is my favourite way to make bacon. So easy and so delicious!

We have this fantastic little indoor grill. I cook bacon on it. It cooks it nice and slow, and the fat drips into the pan underneath. It's also great for burgers and stuff. We've used it a lot. It comes apart, and all of it except the plug can be washed or put in the dishwasher.

Michael36 thank you Sir, 

yes I’m following Doctors Orders staying a head of my pain. The Doctor was more aggressive this time the last surgery fails. There is more discomfort this time been laying on my recliner to ease the strain. 
 

Thanks Agsin , Sir

[Mikiesboy]

Happy Tuesday! We have been riddled with power failures over the last couple of days, and we had another this morning already. Anyway, I'm here now to leave you this advice. It sounds good to me.

I'm pleased to hear you're taking it very easy and taking the medications.  Recovery isn't fun and shouldn't rushed. One day at a time, and slowly. 

We're thinking of you.

Is this good or bad? I never got the whole Hump day thing ... too much longing for Friday. I preferred Thursday when I worked Monday to Friday.  But I liked Wednesday when Thursday was my Friday, so to speak. 

Anyway, don't waste your days wishing they'd go by faster. We only have a finite number of them. That said, I do know why we do that sometimes. It's usually because our fellow man is torturing or annoying us. Let's not think about that too much, either.

Maybe we should ban thinking altogether! It is overrated unless you're Professor Brian Cox, Einstein, or someone else. Well, I know you're someone else, but you're not a physicist, are you? Are you?

i think i need more sleep. Have a good day, hump or no.
