Finish my sentence...

ruthbru

that sounds like an episode of Laverne and Shirley, Wellwater!

A bad blind date a recall....I was in college and had just been involved in a bad breakup. My friend convinced me to go to a big fraternity ball with a friend of a friend. I was not at ALL the sorority type, but figured it beat staying home Saturday night. Well, it soon became apparent why the guy couldn't get his own date, because he was a jerk. Drank alot, talked only about himself, and was overly agressive. When I told him to knock it off, he got up (off the couch we were sitting on), approached me menacingly and proceeded to pass out cold...THUNK....head first onto the floor. After a half-hearted attempt to rouse him, I walked home alone in the cold at 2 am.

A good blind date I went on was....

haha Laverne & Shirley!

I have not been on a blind date, so I have to pass....

badger

Incredibly, I cannot recall ever being set up on a blind date!

(Ruth, that was a good time, what a way to beat the summer heat!)

The last time I went out to dinner ...

ruthbru

I was eating Mexican food.

A favorite college memory is....

gardengumby

hahaha - I have none.  I was a single parent working fulltime and going to college parttime.  I only remember being exhausted.

if I could go back in time and change one thing about my life it would be....

badger

I'd never have started smoking, geez that was a hard habit to break.  Glad I did!

I don't care if it is bad for me, I refuse to give up ...

WellWater

salt.  I love this stuff.  I've been buying Himalyan salt on the internet and am buying into the "it's healthy for you" propaganda because as long as my BP and other assorted levels are good, I ain't giving up my salt shaker!

My feelings about Hostess Foods (junk-food) closing down are............

ruthbru

I haven't eaten a Twinkie in about 30 years, so that doesn't affect me. I do hate to see any business shut down, and, unfortunately don't think shut down will close down the entire junk food industry in the United States.

Today I need to....

Suzanne3131

pack my bags!!  Flying to Napa tomorrow!

This Thanksgiving, I am especially thankful for....

badger

the excellent medical care I receive despite the fact that I live in podunk. 

(safe travels, Suzanne, and Happy Thanksgiving!)

When it comes to Thanksgiving dinner, there's always room for ...

gardengumby

another person

cranberry sauce - make your own or buy a can

Mini1

Neither. the only thing i do with cranberries is freeze them and put them in my smoothies.

The next person will brine their turkey before cooking it.

ruthbru

false

the next person will turn up the over to 450, put the turkey in and then immediately turn the oven down to 325 (a trick I learned in an old cookbook that seals the moisture in)

Mini1

True. the same works well for a roast.

The next person play games on Facebook.

gardengumby

false

the next person cooked turkey yesterday and made turkey soup today

ruthbru

no, but that sounds wonderful, I love homemade turkey soup!

(I think we have all gotten on the wrong game, we were doing 'The next person...' and I just now notice that it is 'Finish my sentence...' opps!)

I would describe my childhood home as ....

bcbarbie10

laid back and very basic. (Woodfire stove and no fridge!)



Im almost done with this tub of popcorn and i...

tweetybird

Plan on starting to unpack stuff in my new apartment.

Sandy did a number on my old place, and I'm moved into my new place, on higher grounds and on the second floor!!!

Another thing I'm planing on doing after I finish my tub of popcorn is.........

What I liked best about this Thanksgiving was...

WellWater

we hosted a small group for dinner...only 5 of us and even though we still made the same variety of dishes there was so much less chaos.  I just don't enjoy hosting the huge groups anymore.

When it comes to ranking favorite holidays, I'd say Thanksgiving is about ___ on the list.

Wonderland

#1 on my list. I love November.

Today on Black Friday I...............
