My suggestion would be to go back and read the entire thread, or maybe
even take the time to read the survey properly (which you obviously
haven't!!), then take your foot out of your mouth and continue with your
'lamb stock' (??).

That was opinion? I think that was insult for no reason at all.

You accused the poster of not being a serious cook because she had
non-.cooking things in her kitchen. I am a serious cook with loads of
non-cooking things in my kitchen.

I used to feel badly that people so often abused you for no reason that I
could see. Now I see that there is an underlying reason that may not occur
in the thread where you get abused, but just comes from your nasty
personality. You could seriously use some adjustment, there.

Yes, it was. You seem to have a problem with the English language.

Listen very carefully, I' l l s p e a k s l o w l y f o r y o u....

*Anyone* who says that they *need* a Tv in the kitchen because otherwise
they can't cook without it, is a slob.

Do you really think that "Little Miss Piggy" is fervently watching
Gordon Ramsey and following him every step??

If you do, you're more stupid than you make yourself out to be.

My bet would be that she/he/it sits in the kitchen watching 'soaps',
while dishing up slop that doesn't require more than one brain cell to
prepare.

You ever see a TV in an kitchens in any restaurants? You ever see a TV
in Gordons kitchens?? You ever se a TV in Jamie's kitchens? You ever see
a TV in Delias kitchen??

*NO*!!!

And why is that???

And for you to get all girly hysterical because of my original
statement, shows what a drama queen you are.

Really......... come *on*!!!

"Obviously you're not busy enough in the kitchen.
Choose a harder, more detailed recipe besides boiling up some
hot dogs."

You have a TV, a computer, a desk, a stereo, a sofa, and some easy
chairs in your kitchen as well as the usual fridge/stove/sinks.......
and it's *not* crowded??!!

You must have a *HUGE* kitchen!!!

She stated she had a TV in 'her' kitchen, and couldn't cook without one.

Try to get your head out of your ass and think of the *big picture*.

Can you 'cook' without a TV being on to distract you?

'She' can't.

Which tends to make one think that 'she' dishes up slop.



> I am a serious cook with loads of
> non-cooking things in my kitchen.


Take a pic and post it....... because quite frankly, I don't believe
you.

I've never yet seen a sofa in a kitchen.



>
> I used to feel badly that people so often abused you for no reason



Awwwwwwwwww, isn't that sweet!!


But........ "so often"?? I've had 'discussions' with a few people, and
some (as in real life) don't see eye to eye with me, or I with them.
That's life.

I move on..... and forget about them. Obviously, as has been shown
recently, they *can't* move on, and need to stalk me and answer every
post I make with some sort of derogatory remark.

The mere fact that you read all that shit, and you take it in, shows you
need to grow up.

ROFLMFAO!!! "Nasty personality"!!!

Grow up, you idiot.

It's something that I've found after many, many years on the Internet.
It's full of kiss-ass ******s like you, who get all teary and hysterical
when someone stands up and says what they *really* feel.... rather than
saying what they think everyone else needs to hear.

Build a bridge and get over it. And while you're at it, grow a backbone.

You seriously could use some intensive lessons at the ESL class. I
really recommend you go back and try to pas the course, this time.

Then, maybe, you'd be able to understand what was said, and why it was
said.

I didn't understand why people picked on cybercat either. Sometimes
it seems we miss posts and don't see the whole picture. Today I don't
see her or peter and his alleged stalkers. It makes life easier and I
can concentrate on food posts.

No problem with that at all. You needed to unload some spite so you did.

My kitchen is 315 sm, big enough for all that junk. Do sue me. O am not of
the generation who did everything to TV, but there are millions.

I chose MCINL because what we have are speakers connected (via the
electirc network) to the stereo which is in the living room.

We don't have any audio/visual stuff in the kitchen, but I'm
considering moving the TV into the dining area that adjoins the
kitchen. Because sadly, we tend to go into the living room and watch
TV while we eat.

No, not spite.

I don't suffer fools.

Life's too short for that.

You have a kitchen that is 315 square meters??? 3,390 square feet???

Now we *really* need to see a picture of that!!

So why do you feel the need to defend their slovenly habits?

OK, so we're back to the international units of measure thing. Is "sm"
short for square meters? If so, that translates into a little less than
3000 square feet, which translates to a little less than three times the
size of my entire house. I guess that's big enough for a sofa or three.

> Do sue me. O am not of

My father got rid of our tv when I was in third grade. I was pretty mad
at the time, but I'm rather happy about it, now. I seldom watch tv.
There are people who literally cannot do anything unless the tv is on.
I'm more the kind that can't do *anything* when the damn thing is on.
Lot's of times I just go for a walk. My wife can do some things, but
she can't sleep. All of our children were born C-section, which
involves a hospital stay. My wife hates hospitals, with a passion. Of
course, she was put in a double room. Her roommate, who had been there
for months and had months to go until birth, literally could not sleep
without the tv on. My wife could not sleep when it was on. They each
had their own tv, with extension arms so it could be placed right in
front of your face (looked like a five inch screen). My wife would get
up at night, when she couldn't stand it anymore, and switch the thing
off. Often times there wasn't anything on, it was just static. Within
half an hour, the roomate would wake up and switch it back on.

There was a discussion some time back about eating in the living room
or bedroom. At the time both kinda turned me off. I must confess
since all the kids are now gone the two of us have often been using
tray tables in the living room and enjoying it very much. We've got a
27" tv in the kitchen but the widescreen and cushy chairs in the
living room seem to be a bigger draw. Oddly, at our cottage we always
eat at the table. But that place has an open floor plan and the
living room tv is unobstructed.

You're crackin me up Dan. Poor Louise lives with someone like that.
Actually I'm worse. I wake up when she takes the remote off my
stomach. If the remote is between us I'll even wake up as she reaches
for it. She claims I have "remote control radar." Sometimes I'll go
sleep on the couch or another bedroom if I can't sleep but I don't
like not being next to her so I don't do that very often.

We also got into the habit of 'eating in front of the TV' for quite a
while, but for the last six months or so we've started eating at the
dining room table again (or outside at the patio tables, depending on
the weather). It does seem to make the meal more enjoyable, IMHO.
Besides, the way they repeat TV programs 'round here, chances are
they'll show whatever was showing at dinner time several more times
anyway, so we're not missing anything. <grin>

BTW, I chose the 'none of that crap in my kitchen' option...

when did 'i don't suffer fools' become shorthand for 'i'm an asshole'?

Yea the weather does make a difference. Our last place had a large
canopy outside and we could (and did) eat outside all summer even if
it was raining. Our cottage is almost the same but if it's rainy and
windy we do eat inside but not very often. Our current city place
isn't friendly to outside people like us and we're actually pretty
miserable and thinking about another move.

>BTW, I chose the 'none of that crap in my kitchen' option...

I chose more but I'm not sure if that's a good thing. Between out 2
places we've got 10 tv's all working and hooked up to cable of an
antenna. Oddly enough 98% of my TV time is watching or listening to
news.

Lou <------not in the market for a new TV at the moment.
