I don't think the Boves are allowed to drink water... precut
rutabaggas and diet soda only.

Indeed, 'carbs and chemicals' will easily fit on a postage stamp.

And the only ones I will pick up to eat are the bean ones from Taco Bell
which I have perhaps once or twice a year, if that.

That's a bunch of nonsense! My husband isn't a picky eater. He doesn't
like rice though. And he will only eat broccoli with cheese sauce.

That's nonsense too! I drink water every day. I have to take one of my
pills with water and I take it an hour before I eat. I always sample the
fruity water where my mom lives. I get some on the way in and on the way
out. Angela and my husband drink water more than anything else. They
prefer it. I drink mostly diet Coke but I have been making more tea now
that the weather has finally gotten cool.

That would be correct! Also referred to as pie pumpkin. I did once make a
pumpkin pie from a carving type pumpkin only because I didn't know better.
It was fine but a lot of work. Now if I want to make one I just buy the
canned.

rather than an admitted armchair confectioner.

Why not? That is the only item they make that I will eat. I even make that
kind at home although, I eat them on a plate as I am too lazy to fold the
ends in. Oh and joy of joys! I found the Pico Pica taco sauce at
Albertson's today. They seem to have done a bit of a remodel since I was
there last. They are now owned by the same place that owns Safeway so...
Dunno there since Safeway used to carry it. Just plop some refried beans, a
sprinkle of chopped white onions and a stripe of the taco sauce into the
tortilla and nuke it. Couldn't be quicker or easier.

If I have more time, I will make a wet one and I might add more things to
it.

But if I am going out for real Mexican food, then a burrito is not what I
will get. I can make those so easily and cheaply at home. Only reason I
get the Taco Bell is that if you can believe this, it is the closest place
that has the best food that we can get quickly by Angela's current recital
venue. There are very few food places near there. Note that I do not think
that Taco Bell has really good food but I do happen to like the bean
burrito. I get it without the cheese.

There is a weird place called Shake and Go. Burgers, milkshakes and a few
other options. Owned and run by Asians who seem to not speak much English.
No AC and they're not necessarily fast. Some sort of Asian place (not
Chinese but can't remember exactly what) that got very bad reviews. Also a
pseudo Mexican food place that got similarly bad reviews. All three in the
same strip mall. The burger place does have some good food and some really
awful food. Angela and my mom got some kind of wraps in there and hated
them. But the lack of AC is a big drawback. I think there is also a Pizza
Hut next to the Taco Bell. That is what most people get but we don't do
pizza. I think there might possibly be a Subway somewhere around there,
perhaps further down but neither of us like Subway either. So... Unless
something has changed since last year, we will either be having the Taco
Bell again or bring something from home. If the weather is not too warm, we
can bring from home but if it is hot, we prefer to be able to sit for a half
an hour or so with AC so... Taco Bell it is.

That being said, the last time I got food from them prior was when we lived
in Alameda. Note that I did not say that I ate the food. I could probably
write a novel on that fiasco! I remember waiting in a very long line and
discussing with some man how the term "fast food" did not apply to this
location. There was much grumbling by my husband as well because it was
taking so long. I had ordered a taco salad and asked for something or
perhaps it was things to be left off. I remember specifically asking for no
sour cream as I hate sour cream. I don't know if those salads come with
dressing but I don't eat that either.

Anyway... We got the food to go because they were so busy that we couldn't
get a seat. I don't remember what my husband got for himself, if anything
and I don't think that we got anything for Angela because I think she was
still a baby.

When we got the food home, there seemed to be very little salad in the big
greasy shell but whatever they had put in it had been totally mixed together
with tons of sour cream. I was furious! As I recall, my husband did eat
it. He complained about it but did eat it.

Then when Angela was a bit older, we bought a talking stuffed dog from the
Express location at Travis AFB. It said, "Yo quero Taco Bell!" We never
bought any food from the Taco Bell there although we did try things from
some other places. There was a horrid sandwich shop called Robinhood or
something like that. And Popeyes chicken which my husband claimed to love
until he tried to eat that. Heh. And a yucky soft pretzel that I ate a
piece of when I was having a hypo.

Normally we just did our shopping then stopped at Marie Calendar's on the
way home. I liked them because of the salad bar. Angela liked them because
I always got a tiny apple on my plate and I would give it to her. They
thought I was strange because I always asked for a side of vegetables for
Angela. One the waitress flat out refused to sell me any, quoting a high
price for a dish of corn or whatever they were serving at the time. So
after that I would just sneak her some of my salad. I hate that kid's meals
in most restaurants do not come with vegetables. And I think they wanted
$8.95 for a kid to get the salad bar. She was less than 4 then so there is
no way she would have eaten anywhere near enough salad to justify that
price.

Membership in the Sheldon Fan Club is free right now. You can join

I used to be in another ng where what Sheldon does here....the boob
jokes, ass jokes, and word-changing what someone wrote was the common
thing to do. It was welcome and even expected there. This is why I
find his humor funny. I've seen it many times and I'm used to it.

He would have fit right in there. As I mentioned before, he's just
playing to the wrong audience in this group. He's a trolling tease
here and many give him the responses that he's after. I actually laugh
at the "offended" responses that he gets more than what he writes.

Militant feminists like you and sf can never laugh at certain humor.
You get the grim faces. Not all women here are offended by his
"JOKES."

Anyone (talking about Sheldon) who loves animals and cares for them as
much as he does, is NOT a bad person. He's pulling your chain and you
are falling for it. Try taking life a bit easier and you'll live
longer.

Would you be laughing if he talked that way to and about your
daughter or mother?

Would you laugh even more at your daughter and mother for taking
offence at Sheldon's rudeness and your encouragement of him?

Yes to both questions, JanUK.

It's the intentions that count, not the reactions.

He's no better than Bryan.

Next you'll be telling us Bryan really is a great stud, and you know
that because he says so.

FGS, how many times has Sheldon posted here wte "NEVER believe any
picture anybody posts/boasts on group, anyone can show any pic from a
website to pretend it's what they did at home, and impress you eedjits".

But you believe his ickle fwuffy kitten pics and boastposts? LOL.
You're the one getting your chain pulled, by him.

He helped me one time when I needed advice about cleaning a very old iron
skillet. He also taught me an important lesson. Don't go look at his
pictures until someone else has seen them and commented. His ex wife's
'thanksgiving or family reunion' is forever
burned in my brain.

Perhaps you should understand that men and women seem to have different
senses of humour. Years ago I was sitting in a beer garden in Germany
with two of my brothers and their wives. There was a jewelery store next
to it and we could see a gorgeous young woman with a man who I thought
was her father. SiL said that she was probably his mistress and he was
buying her something nice. I said she was probably his daughter and they
were buying something for his wife. She said I might be surprised at
what men would spend on young girls to have sex with them. Joking....
I said "If you get them young enough, all it takes is a Big Mac and an
order of fries." She got really upset and said something about how I
obviously didn't have a teenage daughter. Well, she knew that I didn't.
But hell, she was the one who started it. She was quite serious. I was
joking.

Janet, no one applaudes his occasional sexual inuendo parts but he's a
real person unlike some of the fakes we have here.

Here's one lady who will stand up for him. When he is calm, he has
some pretty reasonable recipes and can be helpful if you don't abuse
him upfront with something like 'asshole, tell me how to..' type posts.

Sheldon and i understand one another. If he ****es in my wheaties, I
do the same right back. He laughs and we move on.

His constant talk about tits might be funny if he was a teenage boy.
But he's not a teenager and neither are you. It's childish. I'm not so
much offended as I am tired of it. I expect my elders to know better.

Sure there is humour to it. It is just that men tend to think it is
funny and women do not. Maybe the truth hurts, and women resent the fact
that some of their own will do certain things for some type of reward. I
will feel free to joke about that reality even if I do not indulge in
that type of behaviour myself. It is IMO, along the lines of jokes
about sheep.

With all due respects, the fact that so many women will put up with it
may be part of the reason the reason that so many abusive men get away
with it.

I don't think you understand how women of that age think. They have
the same attitude as men: sex is fun, it's not personal. Yes - sex
for women is like it is for men: fun. If an old fart she likes wants
to lavish her with toys then it's even better. The quid pro quo is
the old fart has the momentary attention of an attractive young woman,
so he has recaptured his youth for a while or at the very least is the
envy of his equally old fart pals. AFAIC, it's an even exchange. The
trouble starts when she stays in the relationship too long and
develops real feelings for him.

If you stand up for Sheldon's abuse , you're no lady.

MOST adult men have the wit to keep locker room humour and language
for the ears of similar male companions, and don't parade it in mixed
company where they know it will offend.

I can't know that the abusive males bank on the time it will take to get
a case to court. It seems to me that in most cases it would be an
impulsive act, usually by someone who is not good at impulse control.

Not a fan of his humour, but it doesnt overly bother me, aside from
it's tediousness. The phone call business is another matter entirely.

We were listening to a show on the radio this morning where journalism
students were talking about the problems with sexual harassment in
internships and on the job stuff. I have to ask about the flip side of
that. I am sure that we all know people who have flirt.. and more... to
get ahead, women who have "dated" professors to get better marks.

When I was a teen I worked in teen night club and there were a couple of
hotties who flirted their way into jobs as gogo dancers. Everyone knew
they were screwing the bosses. Years later one of them ended up working
as a secretary at my wife's school. When we talked about working at
that place she said that she was being sexually abused, and that really
surprised me because it sure didn't look like abuse.

Same here and the thread has gotten out of control as you can see from
the milder comments.

Sheldon is little potatoes in the debate that now rages. If his sense
of humor offends anyone, they should kill file him and walk on.

Agreed Gary. I remember being shocked by a UK commedian when I was a
teen. The audience was roaring but it was a raw nasty bit of work to
me. Basically though, the humor did not translate as an older self
learned. I am not saying Sheldon is 'funny', only that he has his own
way and watching folks reply like he is the root of all abuse is not
sitting well. Sheldon hasn't said anything worse than Benny Hill when
you get right down to it.

You might want to notice he's a universal offender, being just as
offensive to the guys as the ladies and in the same ways. He enjoys
finding people who can respond back in such a way as to show they have
mettle. He has no respect for wusses.

One of the posts accused me and people like me for being 50% of the
problem. Nope. Not accepting that. It is not my problem nor ever
will be my problem that some are weak willed and will not fight back or
even tell the person they have a problem. If i see abuse, I will react
but the other person is EXPECTED to also do something.

When was the last time anyone saw Sheldon attempt to abuse me? 2011
maybe?

Exactly Dave. Anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together would get it.

Total BS. He's a scum of the earth coward or he wouldn't continually
make nasty remarks and change the of text of people he knows have him
in their kill files.
