WASTEFUL OLD FOLKS

Beans are better the next day”

To be honest, a lot of food is better the next day. I think the spices/flavors romance or something. For example, when I make chicken or beef stew, it always tastes better the next day. More flavorful. I think soups taste better as well. I especially like the idea that I know when I pack something, the meat isn’t old, my hands are clean and the ingredients aren’t moldy. Plus, I don’t sneeze into my food. LOL!

The fact that you remember that to this day is a sure sign that you are a good mom.

It's not easy raising children, and none of us is perfect.

[TheOldLady]

That is no way to address a lady, especially one who has been working tirelessly to keep the lights on here.

Go ahead and disagree, but stop the personal attacks and be polite, if you will.

She is neither a liberal nor a Luddite, nor is she in the least bit stupid.

I’ve had people ask me why I always bring my lunch. I tell them it’s because I’m lazy. I don’t have the time nor the inclination to leave work, get in my car, give up my (maybe) decent parking spot, fight traffic and other crazy people out looking for food, spend too much $$$ on food of questionable quality, fight more traffic, hope to find another decent parking spot, race back to my office, all to keep from spending 10 minutes each morning packing a lunch and a few extra minutes in the grocery store, picking up lunch stuff. Nope, I’m much too lazy to go through that hassle every day.

Or with phone books, we made our own poor mans golden christmas trees by folding the pages and then painted it with gold paint.

We made Christmas wreathes from the IBM punch cards (remember those?). My dad was military and brought home stacks of them. We'd curl them in half, staple them, make them into a wreath, then spray paint gold or silver. I'd forgotten all about that, until you mentioned the phone book Christmas trees. Thanks for bringing back a pleasant memory!

[Logic n' Reason]

BINGO...and absolutely spot on!!

[CodeToad]

Then she needs to act like a lady and stop calling people “sensitive” and “lazy”.

[Arrowhead1952]

I'm the same way. I can pack my lunch in a few minutes at home and don't have to fight traffic. I get enough of that during my commutes. Since we are on a four day / 10 hour week, we only have 30 minutes for lunch.

There is a cafeteria about 1/2 mile from us, but it is too crowded at noon.I also have a small fridge in my office and keep mustard and mayonnaise, some sliced lunch meat, cheese slices and loaf of bread at work if I want sandwiches.

I'm sitting here laughing! How can you not? :-D

[netmilsmom]

Awwwww, thanks!

[trisham]

She does act like a lady, but your behaviour is cloddish. Instead of whining, you might consider offering her an apology.

[trisham]

:)

[CodeToad]

Seriously, being old is no excuse for throwing invectives then complaining when they are returned. “Greatest generation”, my behind.

[trisham]

You may want to study 20th century history. Just a suggestion.

[DJ MacWoW]

“Greatest generation”, my behind.

You DO realize that generational warfare is part of the left's plan, right? If they can get enough groups to hate one another, it'll destroy the country. United we stand, divided we fall.

Define invectives

insulting or abusive language : vituperation

Asking Are you sensitive? Is abusive?

You have a chip on your shoulder that I did not put there.

I hope the rest of your day is lovely.

[TheOldLady]

Guy's not enjoying the thread like most of us, so I can't understand why he keeps torturing himself, either. Oh well.

I don't remember his being this cranky before, and I always thought he was a smart one. Shows ya the extent of deterioration in my people sense, huh. Sigh... Gettin' old, I guess.

[trisham]

Insulting the “greatest generation” is more than tacky, as well. Particularly since he doesn’t appear to know which generation they are.

[wolfcreek]

Can you imagine if the youngons had to live like that?

[Arrowhead1952]

Yes, our 25 yr old daughter is amazed how much stuff I can fix, instead of buying something new.
