I can't say for sure, but it probably means she would like to post criticisms
of you, but instead she writes them and doesn't post them. It relieves her
feelings without hurting yours.

There's a local chain of a couple dozen restaurants, vaguely Greek.
They supply cayenne and garlic powder along with the salt and pepper
at the table. I sprinkle cayenne and garlic powder indiscriminately
over the salad and the faux-gyros. Only there, and nowhere else.

Sometimes cayenne on popcorn. Jalapenos (which I agree are not that
hot) sautéed into scrambled eggs.

I used to be a serious chili-head, but I've aged out of it somewhat.
Can't recall the last time I ordered "more than Indian hot" at a
local Indian restaurant whose heat levels (IIRC) we

Seriously? So... You think that her admitting that she writes stuff about
me behind my back does not hurt my feelings? That's messed up.

The better alternative is eating the capsaicin containing food first, then
sip a hot beverage. Then you get the sensation without ****ing up the taste
of the coffee.

Considering you didn't have a clue until I mentioned it, you might better
be angry at me than at her. Go ahead, I can take it.

You forgot to write the first sentence in your response:
"Thank you for that offer, Gary, but-"

I expected that answer from you. Selling paint has nothing to do with
a lifetime of using it and knowing the process and what kinds of
different paints and primers to use based on conditions.

I often hear paint salesman telling a customer what to use for certain
conditions and I have to bite my tongue not to say something. It's
their store. They only know what the company tells them. They have
never actually used the products and see if they last or not.

Once again, I'll give you very first basic advice of having your
outside painted. Any painted surfaces need to be washed before
painting. If you don't do this, you are painting over years of dust
and dirt. Your job will look very nice but it won't last very long.

You trust your neighbor painter. You should stay awake the day that he
starts and make sure that he cleans it all, pressure washing if big
areas, hand washing if small areas....at least spray it down with a
hose.

Julie's response:
"In this area, paint jobs don't last very long anyway."

- I don't get the chocolate reference. Please explain yourself.

- google to see how many guys admit to sleeping with a female
ferret every night (but NOT in *THAT* way, dammit~). I doubt I'm the
only one
but maybe I could be. heheh Note: Ferrets don't normally sleep
next to a human. This one is unique. It's annoying at times, but
I'm all she has here so I put up with it. She does keep me awake at
nights.

The ferret love is girlie stuff as is the sitting down to pee and
remember, I played two rolls since my daughter was in 2nd grade. Dad
and also Mr.Mom. I had to learn, then teach her all the girlie things
as she grew up. How to do makeup, how to curl hair (she used to
practice on me :-o ). Anyway, she's 36 now, married with children,
and I still get both a mother's day and father's day card from her
each year. :-D

Anyway, in Virginia....our manhood is not proved by hot peppers. It's
by the giant blue crabs that we catch he

Ophy, I don't think you 'got' her meaning with that.
I do the same thing some nights.

Someone writes something annoying or whatever and when you first read
it you might reply in a mean way...either by emotional response or
even if you've been drinking. You send it in the heat of the moment
and sometimes you wake up the next morning and wish you hadn't sent
it.

I do that sometimes. When posting a not-so-friendly response, I've
learned to save it as a 'draft' rather than send it. Then the next
day, when you are in a different mood, you read it again and then
decide to send it or not. I've deleted many drafts the next day by
doing that.

No. I know a mean post when I see it. There have been to many not to
recognise them.

Anyway, let's just see eh? Making regular posts about these 'drafts' aren't
posted in a kindly way I assure you.

That's what I also use. Mild is too mild but some hot is a bit too
hot. Buying jarred salsa, medium is just the right amount of heat for
me. The super hot anything just burns out your taste buds and ruins
all the other taste.

My news reader, Agent, calls unsent messages 'Drafts.' So does my
cell phone. It is common terminology. I am not compiling a file. It
is also a good common practice to write a message or letter and put it
aside to read later to see if you are happy with what you wrote.

Then why the constant innuendo that you have a 'draft' and are holding back
on pressing the 'send' button in regard to Julie?

It sure sounds like threats to me. If they are not, please elucidate?

Did you read my answer? I explained it all, imo.
Here's a repost of what I said:
------------------------------------------------------------------
When posting a not-so-friendly response, I've
learned to save it as a 'draft' rather than send it. Then the next
day, when you are in a different mood, you read it again and then
decide to send it or not. I've deleted many drafts the next day by
doing that.

Agree. In her area, power washing is a requirement if they want it to
last. Given the right conditions paint on stucco can last for 15-30
years around here looking perfect. It doesn't have that lasting
quality on wood though. We repaint every 7-10 years. The part of the
house with angles to the North look great, just in need of a serious
power wash - but the part facing due South is beaten and battered. I
want a new shade or color by that time anyway, so it's not a problem
for me and hubby goes on the hunt for a painting contractor.

Salt air is hard on house paint, sun is too. You also need to make
sure the roof and gutters are tight. Little problems can cause
blisters and eventual peeling even with a good power wash and diligent
scraping or burning it all off and starting over with 1-2 coats of
primer and ending with two finish coats (all high quality paint).

Ok, let us see if there are any more threats.

Now, please can you tell me how to teach a dog to play with a ball? A dog
who has spend her whole life in a home overcrowded with dogs and has never
learned to play? That is far more interesting than people bitching.

I will love you forever if you can help with that!

I've lived in a clapboard home for 30+ years and highly recommend a
good prep job as the beginning of a good paint job. The power washer
blasts off a lot of loose paint, then the painters take a scraper and
remove more. Two paint jobs ago, we had the entire house "burned"
because the house was 75 years old by that time and I wanted to start
off with a good seal. We'd already taken 3 layers of old roofing off
to start from bare wood and it was time to do it with the paint too.

It sounds like they had nothing to lose because they didn't like the

There was no 'constant'-- I wrote it once only and it was in this
thread. There was no innuendo just your interpretation. There was no
threat just your interpretation. The message was understood by
others. I meant that she often irks me to the point of responding but
I write a reply and put it away instead of sending. I also meant that
it is often hard to not send. her reply to Gary regarding his
offer to help her/give suggestions about her upcoming painting
project. She could have just said, Thanks, but I have my neighbor,
Jesus, doing the painting. He is experienced, he's done work for us
and I trust him. Instead she just blew him off.
BTW, you have often made the mistake of attributing something to me
that I have not done. As above when you imply frequency. Perhaps
you should read before you send.
I'm done.

I really only like mild, and I usually only buy Ortega Mild Salsa if I can
find it. I don't like hot at all, but do like the convenience of jarred
salsa for omelets etc.

Good! Maybe that is one avenue of bitching closed. Incidentally she is no
'chick' of mine. Hopefully now you will get as sick of the constant
bitching as many of us are.

Men were tested for testosterone levels, then handed a plate of mashed potatoes and as many little packets of Tabasco sauce they wanted to add to flavor it, along with salt packets. Providing the Tabasco and salt in packets made it easy to determine how much was used as researchers could just count the open packets.

The men were instructed to abstain from food or drink (other than water) for three hours beforehand, to ensure that they'd be reasonably hungry. Once they showed up, they were presented with 150g of mashed potatoes, 50 satchets of Tabasco sauce (the paper refers to these as "doses"), and 80 satchets of salt. They were also given an information sheets warning them of the risks of adding Tabasco, i.e., that one dose would be spicy while six doses might cause "temporary extinction of the sense of taste" and "vomiting."

You show up expecting to be served something like papaya-flavored yogurt or maybe a quinoa-based breakfast cereal or peppermint frosting. Instead, they hand you a plate with 150g of mashed potatoes on it. Along with fifty satchets of Tabasco sauce. And a chart telling you that six satchets might make you vomit. Delicious!

You're testing mashed potatoes? (My husband, on hearing this study, wanted to know who puts Tabasco on their mashed potatoes, anyway. "People who aren't being provided butter or gravy?" I said.)

Either that, or they made some reasonably high-quality mashed potatoes behind the scenes in that lab. This was France; I suppose that part may have been just a given.

No comparison of any meaning.

I just value consistency of behavior.
