I actually prefer cheap dinner ware - plates and bowls and so
forth. I use the dollar tree too. I don't see them any more, but for
a long time they were selling those small green and white plates that
I think are called bread plates but I use for full meals.

So you complained about the wrong thing. You should have focused your
whining on that specific quality of his complaint rather than bitching
that he is "a big complainer".

You now need to complain about yourself. Go ahead, we're all ears.

That's only true of relatively new garden hoses, that plastic smell
and taste disapates within a relatively short time, especially as
bacterial slime builds up inside those hoses. The hoses made for
potable water are made of different materials, especially the interior
ply that's of a special material that doesn't readily harbor
bacteria... also the couplings are made of a nonreactive metal. There
is nothing new about garden hose packaging being marked with warnings
about not to use them for drinking, those warnings have been displayed
for some fifty years. I know very well not to drink from the typical
garden hose but when outside on a hot day and watering plants I will
occasionally drink from the hose rather than walk all the way back
indoors for clean water. Most people who work with garden hoses will
drink from the hose but it's really not a good practice... especially
those garden hoses that live in the sun where the water inside
practically cooks, the plastic becomes brittle and develops many
microscopic cracks, increasing surface area many fold for harboring
bacteria and dissolves much more of the plastic. Common sense should
enable those with a brain to realize that hose manufacturers would not
be making special hoses for potable water consumption unless there wre
good reason. And there are directions for proper use of potable water
hoses, for one they are not supposed to be stored in the in direct
sunlight or allowed to over heat or freeze. Pennaline is not very

After having a pricey set of earthenware dinnerware chip and crack, I
went to Big Lots and bought two sets of service for 4 plain white
dinnerware. I've had it for 5 years. It's still in great shape. I paid
$4.99 for each set which contained four dinner plates, salad plates,
generous soup/cereal bowls and mugs. I paid many multiples of that
amount for worse dinnerware.

While I would like "pretty" dishes, my DH's idea of presentation is:
knife, fork, plate, food, and "pretty" counts for nothing.

At the moment I am complaint free, sorry. And I was not whining,
by the way - I was responding once again to your abuse-laden attacks
on my honesty. I happen to know Somebody and I'm telling you he is
full of complaints, enough that even you would eventually have to
admit I'm right even if you won't want to admit it.

Oh good, a chance to further explain myself. I do not favor
the dollar store dishes merely because of the price, although surely
that factors in - I actually prefer less ornate dishware. I don't
think the expensive stuff is "pretty" as you say. I have seen some
nicely colored plates - wow, how attractive! - but they are meant to
be filled with food, not hung on a wall, right? I was in an
institution when I was a kid. It was run by catholic brothers. It
was a rough place. When you become "priest boy", you know you're
going to get out soon because that's a job they give to those about to
be released. I remember that priest and his special silver ware and
teapots and other stuff that made annoying clinking sounds when
transported and when used. My job was to bring this guy his dinner on
a silver tray with the other stuff arranged on it. One time he asked
me to confess my sins - swear to God - and I admit I was a bit
intimidated and had no one to complain to because I was in an
institution - and I asked him sheepishly, "Can't I just wait till
Saturday and confess with the other kids?", and he wouldn't let up. I
made up a few things and wormed my way through it. But I don't think
that's the reason I don't like expensive silverware because I tend to
prefer practical things over ornate things in most all realms. Thanks
for the response.

The damn annoying car noise is back. What the guy did lasted 2 1/2
days. He said it would last the life of the car. Well, the car is
still running-- all 112, 870 1994 miles of it.

There used to be a faucet at my grandma's house that used to smell like
an egg-farting elephant. The kids would turn it on just to get a whiff
of that awful smell. I don't know what the deal was but I suppose that
the water hose was rotting from the inside.

The most amazing thing about water from a hose, is that under the right
conditions, it's able to supply the most wonderful drink you've ever had.

Water standing in a hose for an extended period is the reason that I
don't like those kitchen spray thingies that are separate from the
faucet. The ones with a hose attached to the facet head are fine and
handy and get purged several times a day. The other designs are pretty
much algae farms.

I'm a small plate eater too. I don't eat a whole bunch and small plates
just fit the bill. My guess is that a guy the eats on small plates is a
practical and efficient kind of guy. OTOH, guys that love big, fancy,
plates are probably sissies.

That reminds me. We were making one of our cross country moves and for some
reason pushed on further than I wanted to go in a day. When we finally came
to a town or city...I can't remember which...it was 8:00 at night. We had
to stay in a dumpy motel because it was the only place we could find that
would take cats. The water there smelled of sulphur. It wasn't just the
motel. It was the whole surrounding area. We only found one restaurant
open for dinner and the water in the glasses smelled like that. I just
didn't want to eat there.

We got far out of that place the next morning for breakfast.

There are some places in this country with stinky water. I'm a manly
kind of guy but I felt like barfing while taking a shower in one place.
The drinking water in the fridge had the same taste. The family
restaurant I ate at had drinks made from stinky water which was
surprising. I survived the week by drinking Gatorade and soda. I don't
even like Gatorade. :-)

I don't need a new car. Just one that doesn't make an annoying
noise. I don't even care if it has AC. I didn't grow up with AC and
don't really like it... I'd prefer an old car that's dependable and
not worth much. And doesn't make a damned annoying high pitched
squeaky noise... And gets good gas mileage.

How about going on a weight loss program where the plates get smaller
every two weeks or so? Say about 1/16"? After a year, you'll really be
losing those pounds and after 2 years you'd be able to eat anything you
want as long as it fits on a dime? Just a thought.

I think your idea is a good one. Kids these days really could use some
visual aids for sex education and health class that are a little more
snazzy. I think they would really be receptive to a giant hydraulic
operated penis. Heck I'd like to see one. What guy wouldn't?

Your comments of truth only serve to bolster my claim that all
people love the smell of foul odors, or any odors for that matter - as
just being able to smell means we're alive. Some smells are more
attractive than others. But if the most attractive smells were taken
away, surely they would be replaced with others. Some smells are
considered foul, and they are - but even the foul ones have a certain
appeal that cannot be denied by any honest, open-minded person. Even
road kill is good. Sure, your face crunches up and you might exhale a
mighty, "Whew, what the hell is that?", but at the same time your nose
will be twitching with the same excitement your grandma's kids would
display when they'd turn on that faucet for a quick "Ewwww-like"
sampling of stench. We love it, all of us.

The world stinks and I love it,

The only thing cheaper by cost today are electronic toys,
everything else is sky high and ready for the stratosphere. I
determine the relative condition the economy is in on the basis of
minimum wage. I know in the mid 70s I made $80 a week minimum wage,
and at that time you could find a decent car for a week's wages. You
could even pay a month's rent on it if you found the right place. Try
that today. Minimum wage today pays about $250 a week. You might be
able to get a used car for that but you're going to have to get
lucky. And you're not going to find a monthly rental for that
either. My point is, I am no different from you. I have never had AC
anywhere, period. I haven't owned a car in 30 years. I can't figure
out how people do it. They must be in debt. I had a guy offer me a
free car about 20 years ago. I knew it would need work at some point
and I also knew what I made per week and that owning the car would
probably be a drain on me and also a waste of something good, so I
told the guy thanks but please give it to someone who can really take
care of it.

See how honest I am?

Funny idea, not sure it would work though. Hell, they might wind
up eating the plates. In fact, we could make the plates out of some
kind of sugar ingredient - like the kind they make fortune cookies
with - and the plate could then be eaten as a dessert. In reality,
the small-plate users going to progressively smaller plates will
probably resort to creatively piling the food high, even choosing
foods that are sticky so they can be piled vertically on the tiny
plate base so that the food will look like a rocket and the plate like
a launching pad.

I'm not *** but I might buy one of those shoe-stretching machines
to stretch my mouth as wide as it will go so I can suck on the big

The kids would turn on the hose and it took about 10 seconds before we'd
get a whiff of that stink and then it would get stronger and then
stronger still. The kids would then yell and run away from that thing.

Every culture has their own favorite stinky foods. I guess the favorite
one here is takuwan, which is pickled daikon. We like ours dyed to a
brilliant fluorescent yellow. I will eat one or two small pieces of this
stinky stuff if it's in a bento on a bed of rice. Any more than that -
forget it. Of course nato is just awful and smells like a hamper of
used, damp, gym socks that's been sitting in a closet for a week. There
no chance in hell that I'd ever eat it so we can just forget about that one.

I bought a shaker box of asiago cheese from Costco and had not been able
to find it for a few days. I was relieved to find it wrapped in a
plastic bag, tucked away in the fridge. Evidently kimchee has met it's
match as the stinky food king in our refrigerator. I guess my wife
couldn't handle it. Payback is a bitch...

I'm gonna make a pizza with that cheese tomorrow. It'll be great - and
stinky. :-)

I've never been one to pile food on top of each other. Local fat boy
chef Sam Choy was heavy into vertical dishes about a decade ago - a
silly concept. Looking at his creations would make me feel ill. That guy
has lost a lot of weight so my bet is that his dishes are now as flat as
one of those flat places on the mainland.

OTOH, you're probably right about people going to ridiculous heights to
cheat on portions. It might be smarter to use regular size plates and
use a miniature limbo pole that your plate has to limbo under. If you
knock down the pole, you don't eat!

Interesting comments. Now please pardon me as I drift away from
food and dwell strictly on stench for a moment. When I was a kid,
about 13, I remember one day taking a crap and putting it in a large
jar - not too large, maybe about a quart tops - and then took a leak
into the jar and stirred it till it was the consistency of hummus or
maybe hard icecream about to go soft - that texture. But it wasn't
enough. I went down to my grandparent's fridge and put some mayo and
ketchup and mustard in the jar and then stirred it up and placed it on
the roof outside my bedroom window. It was summer. I had that
thing out there for a week or more before I got bored with it. But
every day I'd take it off the roof and open it for a whiff and it made
me feel like a scientist of some sort, maybe even coming up with the
cure for cancer for all I know. The stinkier it is the healthier it's
got to be, like medicine. It was one of the few projects I've ever
been involved with in my life really - the turd jar on the sun baked
roof of my grandparent's home project, many years ago.

Earn your plate! In all seriousness I've run out of jokes on the
small plate subject but will agree with you that they are the proper
size for most practical meals, if we're talking about the same sized
plates, and I think we are. Instead of the limbo, how about this: If
the plate is too large to shove up one's ass sideways, then it's too
large to eat from. I am done here, going out to the kitchen where I
have a bowl of beans that just finished heating in the microwave. The
bowl was bought at the dollar store. It's the simple white one, not
too large, and is very good for the microwave. I cook and eat the
same thing for 5 or 6 days - adding different things each day if so
inclined - and I'm on day 3 with the bean mix. I wish they made me
fart but they don't. I think my intestines are so narrow and so
clogged with age-induced turds that the farts can't get through in one
piece. My farts are very disappointing. They don't roll out like
they used to, they just squeak out. Bad, very bad. God, sometimes I
think that cutting a good fart is even more rewarding than taking a
good crap. I miss it.

As an Asian guy, I could use a stretching machine but I sure wouldn't
use it on my mouth. It's inexplicable to me that the Chinese, with
thousands of years of herbal knowledge, have still not developed a "90
days to a larger penis pill." These are wondrous times yet I fear I
shall never live to see that ever come to pass.

That's a great story! My guess is that you would have made a fine food

It doesn't sound like anything that a cheap made-in-Taiwan bicycle pump
couldn't fix. Sorry to hear about your intestines being on the
lackadaisical side. That sounds shitty. No pun intended.

You must harvest the blue flowers on the north side of the mountain
and carry it to the temple. Then and only then shall you learn how to
make the magic Penis Enlarger Elixir.
