I tried marriage once..that didn't work out so well either..

I was going to say that.

Marriage usually involves God and...

Yes, marriage isnt for me!

That was my immediate answer LOL

@Redcupcoffee my answer is also "dating a christian" and I can confirm both of your responses were accurate for my situation lol.

Is how I learned not to do that. Plus keep finding myself in the bible belt. Just took a new job in North Carolina. Everything else about the situation is pretty tits, cept for the dating pool... sigh

@Redcupcoffee yes, I'm going to have to pull out the ol' wet sock before I ever do that again!

@Redcupcoffee I got out at the end of last year. Reading between the lines of the newsletter, they haven't been pursuing non-payers for quite a few years. They've simply been taking back ownership of the weeks from those who default on the fees. Though listen to the resales lot, and all kinds of nasty things happen if you don't pay... unless you sign up for another deal with them (it was a minimum investment of 14K in something in Scotland, this time.)

As a result of people defaulting on maintenance fees, they've been downsizing. Three neighbouring complexes became one (the other two now doing package holidays and residential.) But the shrinkage continued, and last year, they decided to get rid of the block that I actually own in.

They tried to relocate me to another block, but couldn't do it without my cooperation. So ultimately, I had a sit down with one of the compliance team last time I was there, and they accepted that we could terminate the contract by mutual agreement.

I'm both bored sensless with Los Cristianos (Tenerife) and miss it already. It's comfortable being there. I just feel like there's nothing new left to see or do.

Sounds like you are pretty well sorted to stay away from these, hehe.

@Redcupcoffee It's almost as good as the best sex you've ever had .

I did that twice, so I must have loved it!

Cigarettes, pipe, .... I do have a problem with smoking otherwise. I generally take the item off that’s burning when that happens, but that’s just me. @Redcupcoffee

Every olive I've tried - but I'm not sufficiently olive knowledgeable to know if that's 'all'.

I agree. Olives are a vile little beast.

I don't really like common green or black olives, though sometimes they're good in moderation when added to food (like chopped up in a tuna salad). But I kind of like Greek kalamata olives, though they are often a little too salty for my tastes.

@Redcupcoffee No okra, ever.

Is that the stuff that goes all slimy when you cut or cook it? Yuk!

@smoyle Sure is.

eating some soup at a Thai Restaurant. Thought that chili was a baby carrot

@btroje

@Paul628 I will never forget it

@WizardBill I am good with spice green chili and red but those dangerous kinds of peppers not so much

@Redcupcoffee And the flavour, and the smell, and the horrible reptilian skin. Very pretty stone in the middle, though.

@Akfishlady You're more than welcome to eat my quota of the world avocado crop!

@Redcupcoffee I became a pharmacy tech to help people get well. It didn't take long for me to realize I was only helping drug companies make money off of sick people. It felt terrible and I left work every day feeling like a bad person.

@Redcupcoffee No, I'm just doing office work for now.

There is so much money involved you would expect there to be pills that actually did a decent job. But, if you listen closely to ads on TV you will hear that they cause problems worse then the ailment they are supposed to treat. All prescription drugs are poisons that do something abnormal to your chemistry in an effort to make the disease feel not at home. Most problems go away on their own with proper diet, hygiene, and exercise.

You haven't found the right gin yet. The bad stuff tastes like aftershave. The good stuff can be rather pleasant.

A friend of a friend tried nude welding, didn't go over well.

I got somewhat intoxicated a couple of times after that; those more or less sneaked up on me. The first time was intentional.
Now I don't drink any alcohol. I never liked the taste of anything but cold beer on a hot day, and I don't even do that. I don't miss it and don't feel the need to drink to be sociable. I love my tea.

@Redcupcoffee lol, sure did! Done and DONE!

@Redcupcoffee lol, why do you want to hear about that? Yeah, it hurt. After, you lay in bed for 2 days or so. They recommended frozen peas over ice.
Well, you asked!
I watched a lot of Netflix, since I couldn't do anything else.
They gave me pain medicine but I didn't use it, so it wasn't that bad.

@Redcupcoffee you think that's a question they should have in the profile here? "Are you fixed?"

really? What happened?

Was drunk when I did it. After looking at the cliff the next day, sober, I realized I don't have the nerve to do that. LOL

@Galihad_Z Yikes!!! LOL
