CHIT CHAT in VOLTVILLE

[1st Officer]

You microwave coffee? Blasphemous! A single cup drip maker or French Press is the only way to really appreciate a fine coffee.

Can't say I disagree with you on that. I have a nice little 4 cup percolator that was made in the 1930s and it's all I've ever used. If it ever breaks I will cry. I think drip coffee makers leave too much flavor in the grounds and I like my coffee strong enough to stand a spoon up in. I just can't bring myself to throw out a whole pot of coffee because I'm cheap so I pop it in the microwave every now and then, waste not want not. Generally I drink my pot of coffee within 20 minutes of the end of the last perk but this morning I just couldn't face the world so I took some good drugs and went back to sleep, no apologies, no regrets. Better living through chemistry.

Yep. That'll fix it.

Best legal feel good pills money can buy. I save them for occasions like this morning when I ride over 600 miles in a weekend and don't sleep but 4 hours since Friday. Some times life demands us old people resort to doing things we normally wouldn't. I'll make sure to feel guilty about it one day soon. not!

I agree that when used that way it is a nice tool. The part that is lame is needing to know that somebody 'liked' some page or scored level 3 on Farmville, etc. But personally I found no use for it. If my (so-called) best friend ran off with my (so-called) boyfriend, then they can just stay lost.

They both ended up paying for it by having a very unhappy marriage that ended quickly. Besides - As a friend, I loved her. The boyfriend was just not all that special to me.

I've been tempted to open a FB account just for the freebies and coupons! Dang, I missed out on a free $12 box of hair color! What's been holding me back is that there are some people out there that I would prefer not to be found by..."bothered by" might be a better term. "Irritated by," "annoyed by," "taken by" might be some others. I kinda like my simple, drama-free life now.

I gotcha. Just make your wall only visible by friends and family. You can hand-pick who sees your information.

Man if FB had been around when I was young I would have way more than 5 X-wives, it would have saved me a lot of trouble too. lol Glad to say I finally (well kinda) got the hang of it. Now Instead of marring them I just buy them a house and give them half of everything i own, it cuts out all the fighting and paying the Lawyers more than the woman. The one I have now is perfect, we live in different parts of the house and stay out of each others business. I think shes just waiting around for me to kick the bucket cause shes waaay younger than me and even though we have been together for 20 years she wouldn't marry me for all my money. I like smart women...

OMG, I loved that last post, Officer. You're so funny! But just couldn't bring myself to "Like" it. Something's wrong there...

"A-mixing we will go, a-mixing we will go, hi-ho the derry-o, a-mixing we will go."

haha, I actually got all my stuff last Friday, but got so lazy over the weekend!

 

[cindycated]

But would people know that I have the account? Can you stealth FB? I don't wanna deal with having to explain why I turned people off, or didn't accept their invites...

What the heck, I'll "like" it. That cracked me up!

 

[cindycated]

OK, I'm "liking" vicariously through you!

Yeah - They would know that you are there. There is no stealth FB that I know of.

I have mine set so that only certain friends show up in my News Feed, and only certain posts are readable by everyone. Others are intended only for family and close friends. 'Course, this is how it is supposed to work "in theory".

 

[cindycated]

So yeah, then it's probably a dealbreaker for me...bummer. Some of the coupons are really good!

That's funny, I like my coffee very strong as well, but it has to be brewed fresh for each cup, no sitting in a pot is allowed here. When we have guests I have to cut the amount of coffe I use to about 1/3 to 1/4 of what I use for a cup, otherwise they never come back again. I will say it's a great way to get rid of unwanted guests though.

Make up a fake name, nothing says you have to use your real one. Like Auntie Social (however that one was already taken). That's what I did so I could at least go poking around or get freebies, but it is a made up name, not entirely unlike my name here Get a new yahoo mailbox, or use one you already have for junk mail. Don't need much else.

So, you've been serving me watered down coffee? I'll take mine just like you like yours. Good stuff.

 

[starsong]

OK Blues, I have to ask... what's the Four fried chickens and a Coke thing about?

I'm with you! I like my coffee strong. I even like Turkish coffee which leaves a layer of sludge on the bottom on the demitasse.

Sitting here downloading the new iOS for my iPhone. Didn't do it last week cuz I wanted to see if there were issues, but hopefully everything goes well like it has in the past. I don't qualify for the new phone til next year, but that's fine - I'm happy with my 4s.

Did you know you call tell fortunes with Turkish coffee sludge? After you drink the coffee, turn the cup upside down and let the sludge drain into the saucer. Then turn the cup right side up again. Look at the patterns the sludge made on the sides of the cup. The shapes might suggest something to you, like if you see a heart shape, tell the drinker that there's romance coming their way. You get the idea. It's fun, even if the fortunes you tell never really come true.
