That's pretty specific. I would like to see one example of it.

Huh? There's very little I can't eat. I avoid seeds, that's about it.

I try not to post a laundry list of things I don't like. For example,
if someone mentions they had a salad for (or with) dinner, hey, go for
it. It doesn't affect me one way or the other.

It's not meant to be specific, it's just an example of those kinds of posts,
and I have seen Bryan do it to several people, and I've seen Brooklyn do it
too. If you want word for word, you'll have to Google, not me.

Much more condemning phrases than "you're ignorant". When I see posts
like that, I just think to myself "it's no wonder rfc is dying". Who
wants to stick around after they get blasted like that?

You probably have them in your kill file. Bryan and Sheldon are two I
can think of off the top of my head.

I just wanted to exclude you in particular because every time I don't,
I get into trouble with you.

Yes, there are much worse condemnations, and it does get tiresome.

You do? I didn't realize you get into trouble with me. We disagree at
times, certainly. That's life. We don't call each other names or
anything like that. We're just talking, mostly about cooking. What
have I done that would make you think you're getting into trouble with
me? Serious question.

As rednecked as those imbeciles who refer to "the wife"... as though

I was going to say that if they were in my KF I would not see them, but
then I remembered someone who was in my KF but who was being quoted in
close to 50% of the posts here. Sheldon is not in my KF.

I thought that the "filth" was funny. I still do. It was all based on
previous posts. I did overemphasize the anal intercourse aspect, and for
that, I apologize, but not to Julie, and sure as Hell not to Kuthe.

Dave, you are such a liar! My daughter is not abusive at all. You are
taking one comment that I made in response to someone else when she was
like...what...12? This is truly pathetic.

I said that I threw the bag out. Not the pears. Why would I throw out
unripe pears? See... This is the sort of thing that happens to me here on
a continual basis. Someone gets something wrong that I posted and then
someone else will comment on it like it were fact. I can just see it now.
2 months from now, Dave or someone else will say... Remember when she threw
those pears out?

The last ones I bought were fine. Pears are available year round and I
don't notice them tasting any better in the fall than any other time.

No. I said that I threw the bag away so can't remember the name of them.
Costco had three kinds of pears, one of which probably isn't a pear. They
are called Apple/Pears, otherwise known as Asian pears. They have the big
pears that I bought last week. Those appear to have been Bartlets. And now
these. They are much smaller than the Bartlets.

The other two who live here had leftovers. I haven't eaten yet but will
make a ground beef and refried bean tostada. It's still very hot here.
Tomorrow? Sandwiches if we are home. We plan to go out in search of AC so
we may just go out to eat.

She wasn't. AFAIK, the military doesn't have counselors that actually do
anything. There was a counselor there but she only farms out to whoever
takes our insurance. She was however doing her internship.

Yes. I really do hate that. But I think I have KFed the biggest offender
there.

Hehehehe. No. He just keeps changing his name, probably to avoid our

Obviously not since people automatically assumed it was someone else. And I
don't care if you think it is rude or not. I am sick to death of being
lambasted for most of the things I post here. Seems there is not a safe
thing for me to post. Even when I do try to keep it totally to food, I get
told that I shouldn't have bought it to begin with or that it is white trash
food or that I didn't cook it right or I shouldn't have made it or...

And there are two other people who live here. If I am vague then nobody can
accuse me of speaking ill of a certain person. You see? I just can't win.
Not here anyway...

Yeah, right.Get is straight. It is not lying on my part if it happened,
or if you said that it happened. You whined here about how horribly she
treated you in a restaurant and you almost walked out and left here there.
That was your story.

That was one incident and it was years ago. Did you not ever act up as a
tween? I sure as hell know that I did and all the time! Thankfully she
is/was not like me.

As I said there were three kinds of pears. Apple/Pears, Bartlet and these.

You'll drink to that I'm sure. Look, slushie, you're the one who in a
drunken stupor confessed his alcoholism on this group. You could tell me how
many tiles are in every drunk tank in Texas. Spare me the projection.
Everyone here knows you are a drunken loser.

Good grief! Is nothing sacred here? Alcoholism is nothing to poke fun at.
I don't know it it's true or not and am not saying that it is but...
Really?
