  1. And so it is. Good for you. My favorite steak is chuck steak. Pretty damn cheap—but the best thing out there!
  2. Reminds me once… Took my parents to a nice restaurant specializing in Bison when they were visiting some years ago. My father doesn’t do different well. It’s partly a function of his age, but more just his personality. At any rate, I told him “Get anything you want but I would like if you got a bison steak.” What did he get? A beef hamburger and fries…He lives for hamburgers and hotdogs. To him, they’re worth looking forward to and salivating over.
  3. Old timers should be happy newbies are asking questions and interested. It’s a chance to impart “wisdom.” It also means that the show keeps going as the old timers age out and newbies take over—in any endeavor. What you’ve worked for isn’t lost!
  4. From my unscientific analysis, any level of thinking about time kills it. I’ve found actually gummies really help. If you’re open to that. Not everyone is. No judgment.
  5. Which now makes weeding those types out easier without even reaching out because none of those appeals to me whatsoever… Jedem Tierchen sein Pläsierchen…but I sincerely don’t “get” some fetishes. 🤷🏼‍♂️
  6. She was a homely sort.
  7. Curmudgeons don’t handle change well. Nor do they handle newbies well—unless of course newbies do it the way we always did it. Curmudgeons aren’t known for their civility! It’s also not at all welcoming to say “We’ve talked about this before” and provide only links to other threads. It shuts a person down. It also has an “I know better than you” air about it. And it doesn’t take whoever took the time to post something seriously enough to engage what they posted, but does take them seriously enough to effectively say, “Shut up.” It also breeds an in-group/out-group cliquish culture. Although some are okay with that—when they’re part of the in-group. What exactly is gained by wading into a discussion and saying, “We’ve talked about this before?” Who benefits from that? The OP certainly not. Perhaps the one making the remark, but likely at the expense of someone else. Again—hardly civil behavior!
  8. Thanks! I would like to find his ad on RM – my suspicion is his BFE would be heavenly 🤣
  9. I have been waiting since March for my return. I can’t decide if it’s the reduced workforce at the IRS, or if it’s something else. All around it’s very frustrating.
  10. I’m aware that I’m more than likely casting pearls before swine here, but I was pregnant with an opinion that needed delivering!
  11. Physician, heal thyself! 😂
  12. Everything I’ve ever seen of wagyu, I don’t think I’d like it!
  13. Not everyone has been here as long as others. Not every new person here knows about the search function. And just because they do and may have used it does it mean they want to sift through multiple pages of multiple threads on a topic that might not be exactly what they’re looking for as far as an answer or a discussion. Why do I say this? Because saying “We’ve talked about this before” or some variation of it really isn’t helpful. And it’s almost rude to someone who’s asking and to those who might be involved in the conversation. I don’t know about others here, but in my family, workplace, and friends circles, we rehash the same topics often. Most of life’s topics don’t have an expiration date or a moratorium having been once discussed… Might I suggest this response if the urge to say “We’ve talked about this before” or something similar itches:
  14. Opinion-sharing on any number of issues is what this forum is about. The entire deli section is about opinions – some very much about “beauty.” Others about value. If sharing opinions isn’t valuable or desirable here, what exactly is the point of Company of Men?
