RE: Name a store you shopped at that doesn't exist anymore.

I think they are still around in New Jersey but I don't buy from them anymore because you can't find a store in North Carolina.

If you talked to someone who ate them the first question would be: How many can you eat

Secrets and Torture

I also am very much like that. When I know that something is confidential immediately my brain clicks and I store it in a file cabinet with a lock on it and forget that it's there. I put so much importance in not talking about legal cases when I worked in the field.

I prefer that people don't tell me their secrets cause I don't know who else they told. If the secret gets out I could be one of many the person accuses of

RE: The English...

I put a smither of mustard and A-1 sauce on a steak I would be grilling or cast iron frying.

I also like a smither of mustard and a squeeze of orange juice on Halibut to be baked in oven.

I'm not sure if this is a mustard thread so I went in two different directions

RE: Name a store you shopped at that doesn't exist anymore.

High end to a degree but not like Nordstrom or Saks Fifth Avenue.

RE: Name a store you shopped at that doesn't exist anymore.

When I lived in New Jersey Lord & Taylor was my favorite store to buy all my business suits and shoes from them.

Secrets and Torture

You sing like a canary like another other poster said. If that doesn't work call Bond.....James Bond.

Oh, wait a minute, he died. There must be a new Bond somewhere in the CIA.

We never know what we would do when asked to tell a secret.

I wouldn't make a good secret agent because I know I would

Secrets and Torture

That could work but it would be costly and take too much time. Whereas a sledgehammer, a saw, pliers all would work faster that getting the person addicted.

Secrets and Torture

I'm not a trained secret agent.

I wouldn't do well with torture. First thing they asked me I'd talk !!!

But I would never tell a secret of a personal friend.

Secrets and Torture

So your answer is that you would talk and tell them everything they want to know to avoid torture.

I'm not condemning you for that way of thinking.

We see it all the time in movies where someone is tortured because they won't give up the secret.

Secrets and Torture

Lets say you work for a company or the government that has a lot of secrets.

How well would you do if you were trusted with these secrets?

Suppose you were kidnapped and told if you tell the secrets you would be set free.

Would you test your integrity and not talk?

Or would you think the torture they threatened you with is not worth keeping quiet?

RE: Which do you confide in more?

Once you tell someone your secret it is no longer a secret.

I'm had jobs that were of a confidential nature and learned never to tell anyone what I knew about certain things.

However, things of a personal nature and not work related, I do confide in men more than women except for my very best friend who is a woman.

"Sanders hopes nation smitten by his mittens will back food charity push
Money-making opportunity to benefit Meals on Wheels
Does caring so little about fashion make Bernie chic?

Bernie Sanders is turning a meme based on the mittens he wore to Joe Biden’s inauguration into a money-making opportunity – to benefit programmes like Meals on Wheels in a time of spiralling food insecurity.

At the US Capitol on Wednesday, the independent senator from Vermont was pictured wearing chunky knitted mittens, sitting cross-legged on a folding chair, socially distanced from other guests, hunched against the cold.

The image was soon spliced into a billion social media pictures and videos, the be-mittened democratic socialist appearing from Yalta to the ranks of the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the famous potters’ wheel scene in Ghost. In Wisconsin, one man even adapted a snow sculpture of the Lincoln Memorial, a pillar of American democracy, to depict Sanders and his mittens instead.

The Vermont second-grade teacher who made the mittens out of an old sweater and recycled plastic bottles and offered them on Etsy soon announced she had sold out.

“There’s no possible way I could make 6,000 pairs of mittens,” Jen Ellis told Jewish Insider, “and every time I go into my email, another several hundred people have emailed me. I hate to disappoint people, but the mittens, they’re one of a kind and they’re unique and, sometimes in this world, you just can’t get everything you want.”



On Sunday, a chuckling Sanders welcomed his mittens’ notoriety and described how he wanted to put it to work.

“Not only are we having fun,” the 79-year-old told CNN’s State of the Union, “what we’re doing here in Vermont, is we’re going to be selling around the country sweatshirts and T-shirts and all of the money that’s going to be raised, which I expect will be a couple of million dollars, will be going to programs like Meals on Wheels that feed low-income senior citizens.”

Food insecurity under the coronavirus pandemic has become a serious problem, among Biden’s targets in his first days as president.

“So,” Sanders added, “it turns out actually it’s a good thing, not only fun.”

On the senator’s website on Sunday morning, a $45 “Chairman Sanders” crewneck sweatshirt featuring the inauguration image was itself sold out.

RE: Would you date someone who is?

"Is it a red flag to you...if someone has been divorced 3 times or more?
Is it a red flag to you...if someone is still Married but separated?
Is it a red flag to you...if your date has never been married?.."


I was in a relationship with someone who was divorced 3 times. Eventually I learned why his marriages didn't stick.

Married men who say they are separated is usually a lie and that doesn't float my boat.

I was in a relationship with someone who never married. The more I got to know him the more I understood why he never married.

In today's world I think people are backing off from getting married and I am in agreement with that. In my opinion marriage destroys a loving relationship.

I'm attracted to laughter that creates a relaxed environment. I'm not looking for a relationship but people like Dino and Tom make me smile and sometimes giddy.

RE: Dining out

It is NOT reasonable for you "to believe that I should have understood it as such". That's an assumption on your part.

Everyday something is misunderstood on here. It's not something I should be stoned for.

You can get on your high horse all you want......as you usually do thinking that you know all the right answers to every question that comes up in a thread.

Not long ago you said that I am one of your favorite people and now you switch sides and throw me under the bus not even asking me to explain my comment more clearly. I won't respond to you again.

RE: Dining out

I think you misunderstood what I said. Or maybe you didn't. Regardless, I took ONE bite of the steak. It not only tasted bad as in spoiled but also smelled rotten.

So,
One bite
Rotten smell
Spoiled taste

I didn't pay for it. Are you really going to challenge me that I should have paid for it?

Jac, if you like movies you might like this one called "The Professor and the Madman". It's the true story of how it took 70 years to write the Oxford Dictionary.
