What is your favorite breakfast cereal?

patchoullijulie comments on Aug 12, 2018:

Bobs's Red Mill Oat Bran. I mix it (cooked) with coconut manna (butter), apple fiber and sometimes I put a drizzle of molasses over the top with a small scoop of sour cream. Delicious ??

zeuser replies on Aug 12, 2018:

I like Bob's Red Mill Oat bran too. I just sugar it up with brown sugar, use a couple of pats of butter, a little salt on the top, and a little ramekin of blueberries.

Gotta love Miss Manners.

Do you ever notice his misogyny isn’t a point? It is for me.

zeuser replies on Aug 12, 2018:

I believe it is for a lot of other people too, but you can only fit so much into one gag. 8-)

On dating sites, everyone says they like long walks on the beach.

zeuser comments on Aug 11, 2018:

I ignore the beach walkers. I focus on the ones who admit they like to drink wine. Everything else falls into place after that. Having said that, I like walking the beach at night when you can induce bioluminesence by stomping on the sand. 8-)

zeuser replies on Aug 11, 2018:

@MrLizard Honestly, I have no idea, but the ones I've been to in NC all had it. I've done it on Topsail, Emerald Isle, Okracoke..Someone had to tell me about it, I had no idea. It's kind of fun.

@LucyLoohoo Nixon was a crook, but not a buffoonish mob grifter, and he kept his prejudices out of public view. He was also a 2 term veep and congressman. We didn't like him, but he wasn't the same level of garbage our current huckster aspires to be

What is your favorite movie?

KKGator comments on Aug 8, 2018:

The Godfather 1&2. I don't care if it's two movies. I always watch them together, so it's one.

zeuser replies on Aug 8, 2018:

I just re-watched those with my son, who never saw them. A lot of the tropes in subsequent gangster movies and shows started with GF 1 and 2, and they look a little dated since we are accustomed to the derivatives, but they largely hold up quite well.

Where have you found the most amazing regional food in the US?

Wisewoman3 comments on Aug 4, 2018:

Neither would bother me, unless the person I date is trying to convert me. That being said, if a person supports Trump, that is a sign that we are not on the same wave length.

Donotbelieve comments on Aug 2, 2018:

The Twilight Zone

zeuser replies on Aug 2, 2018:

I've been watching the series from the beginning on Netflix in order. They made 26 shows each season back then. I'm at about show 20 in the first season, when the sets were incredibly cheesy, but writing and the music were superb. Listen to the music in that show, it was transcendent.

So you don't believe in God, eh? What's this then?

Fantasy or Sci-Fi

Partyhawk comments on Jul 29, 2018:

Both in one series. Pierce Anthony - Juxtaposition. Two worlds, one magic and one science. Same people in both. You die in one world then your other self in other world has access to both. Blue Adept was the second book. It's about a science guy finding a door to a magic world. His magic self who ...

zeuser replies on Jul 30, 2018:

Piers Anthony wrote a lot of innovative series that were a combination of genres but eventually hacked out with the devolution of the Xanth series into a reader - centric punfest. The kirlian aura series, describing how different alien species had sex, among other things, still stands out.

Brunettes or blondes?

rogeralyn comments on Jul 21, 2018:

How about the option "I don't care" because if the attitude and character are appealing I'll take whatever color hair you have!

zeuser replies on Jul 21, 2018:

You can change your hair color, and believe me a LOT of women do. The things you mention can't be disguised for long.

Would you date someone who is a self-proclaimed psychic/intuitive?

zeuser comments on Jul 10, 2018:

There's a wide continuum of reasons to date or not date someone. You have to balance that together with your goals. For certain considerations, I'd sit for a tarot reading. Hell, I've done them, for reasons that seemed like a good idea at the time, you know? Heh.

I grind my beans ...

Remember the militia movement prior to the Timothy McVeigh Oklahoma City Federal Building bombing? They are all in the Trump Cult trance. & any history we do teach anymore is superficial.

zeuser replies on Jul 1, 2018:

Most history that they teach in elementary and high schools is standardized and sanitized, and presented as a series of factoids you can easily use in making a multiple choice test. There is very little conveyance of context, and no real attempt to draw parallels with current events. It's one of my biggest problems with American education in general.

zeuser replies on Jun 29, 2018:

@Surfpirate I can't remember any where the narrative picked up the next day, but I have seen venues from the previous night, or even previous week or month, and recognize them. You sound like you need to start dreaming about vacation venues. I can see where having to relive a work scenario when you sleep can be exhausting.

Am I on the right track?

zeuser comments on Jun 28, 2018:

That's a little harsh, isn't it? Anyone can change, and I'd prefer trying to be an agent of that change, at least in part. However, I believe in tough but fair. When being fair doesn't work out and you see these kind of tactics being deployed against you, your approach should be considered.

zeuser replies on Jun 28, 2018:

@Ciravolostone No, I'm not. I give everybody a chance and try to be a positive influence. If someone comes after me, I mean literally comes after me, I respond in kind. There are conservatives who so despise liberalism and its adherents that they really do think the approach you describe is warranted. I won't stand still for that. The approach you described is not how I'd do it, but I won't run away either.

zeuser comments on Jun 14, 2018:

If you start picking and choosing friends for your lover, that's controlling and ultimately self defeating. If you can't handle it, maybe you should confront your own insecurity and sense of self worth instead of wallowing in pointless jealousy. Just imo.

zeuser replies on Jun 14, 2018:
