There are times that makes me sad because I'll make something truly delicious and I don't know how I did it. For the most part it's worth that to avoid making the same thing twice. My hand is my measuring spoon/cup. But then I did, years ago, go through the trouble of learning to judge how much by dumping tablespoons, teaspoons, half teaspoons, etc into my hand for a visual. About the only recipes I follow to the letter or pretty close to as far as measurements go, are baking and pastry type things. Just regular everyday cooking, I season to taste and usually don't even need to use my hand. So basically, nothing I cook ever tastes quite the same as the time before because it is slightly different every time. Just ask Dmitri. He's been eating my cooking for almost 20 years now. And I haven't used the rat poison... yet. 👼 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... before I met Dmitri they got dog food, venison, rabbit, mice... things like that.

Fortunately Susan enunciates wonderfully and I'm a fast typist... Egg Money by Susan Werner He wore a straw hat on his head And a tomcat in his smile I told him he should understand this Before he walked me down the aisle You can have the money from the oats The money from the cow The money from the goats And the money from the sow But don’t you ever touch the egg money That’s crossing the line Don’t you ever touch the egg money The egg money is mine We had seven good years Then the trouble all began First he started nipping at the gin Then he started seeing Maryanne Then he started gambling dice Lost the horses and the plow I felt behind the stove There was nothing there now He had taken all the egg money That’s crossing the line Don’t you ever touch the egg money The egg money is mine Leaving would have been the thing to do But no-one left in… 1922 So, the angel that I am Poured the coffee in his cup Served his toast with butter and jam And the eggs were sunny side up And the eggs were maybe too old And the eggs had maybe gone bad Three days and the body went cold Doctor said... “It’s terribly sad” The egg money That’s crossing the line Don’t you ever touch the egg money The egg money is mine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivy Mysterious Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 Heres a new one I have been hearing a LOT lately I will get an IM from someone who isn't speaking English, and since I only know that language, I will tell them to please speak in English. they will translate but not before they say, or shortly after " You do realize not everyone is American/ speaks English, right?" ( not usually in that way but along the lines of that)..... I usually come back with a sarcastic remark like "No, really!? I hadn't noticed" Or" Well duh, but that doesn't change the fact I only speak English, Dumb*bleep*!" I've even been called racist because of this, which was both hilarious and infuriating....WHAT DOES RACE HAVE TO DO WITH IT YOU RACE CARD PULLING *BLEEP*?!

Sammy Huntsman Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Another one of mine, I am a blogger. And it's actually a two parter. The first part is, the fact that the brighter more cheerier photos, that get more recognition. However, people like me who don't do bright cheery photos, with the pastel colours. They don't really get the same recognition. I know for me, I am not changing my style. Just to get more views. But it honestly feels like there are these unwritten standards in SL blogging. Like your photos have to be High Quality, which totally makes sense. But it feels like there are more standards than that. You have to look a certain way, use certain bright colours. Use a really bright and pastelly windlight. Edit your photos. Like to me as a blogger, I feel kinda confused and downtrodden. On one hand, I don't want to conform, and I just want to be myself. But on the other hand, I just wish that darker pictures got more recognition. We work just as hard on these pics, as most of the population who does the bright, cheerful and pastel blogs. My second one, when bloggers only credit their sponsors. Like I know myself, I will credit everything. I can't just not credit everything. I just feel like these bloggers, are taking the easy way out, or are just too lazy to figure out everything they used. I hate having to ask a million questions, just to figure out where this person got it. I wouldn't have to ask, if you would credit everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like your photos have to be High Quality, which totally makes sense. ... Yeah, nah. I think the vast majority of people who call themselves 'blogger' in SL don't have a clue about photography. I frequently see blog posts that are shot in low resolution and using the viewer's photo filters. Or just random PS filters slapped on without any manual retouching - neck seams galore in most blogging groups. The reason they tend to get attention is through spam-following everyone they see (most of them have horrendous following to follower ratios), and spam-liking each other's posts for their buddies to return the favor. If creators figure that's the people they want to employ though, meh? I don't have any expectation of any creator throwing free stuff at me. If I see something that I like, and my wallet allows it, I'll buy it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkRavenWolfie Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 1. groups that are spamming my notification inbox to high hell. If anything it makes me wanna not bother with most groups, esp the ones related to nightclubs and whatsnot that are especially guilty of spamming left and right 2. whenever i enter a crowded grid and literally 90 percent of people are just parking/afk-ing. Dont get me wrong, people can do whatever the hell they please, i just find it quite nonsensical to have your avatar idling at one place, not even like dancing or anything all day long but hey, to each their own *shrug* 3. peeps who go crazy extents to play the apologists for the premium subscription and go butthurt when you arent literally sacrificing your firstborn on the altair of LL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have friends who constantly mass TP you to a club. Just to get money out of you. Seriously, it's annoying. If I wanted to go, I would go. Stop trying to use our friendship as a way to bleed me dry of money, cause you need those cute pair of shoes. There are better ways of advertising, than using your friends as a cash grab. And the 5th point. When you accept a friend on FB, and all they do is use your wall as a place to put their ads. Like screw off with using my wall as your ad space. Next time you do it, I am charging you a flat fee, and an hourly fee, just to keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
