Now - let me get this straight.... that would be somehow different than someone who hasn't even moved OUT FROM HOME, and "has nothing else to do but fantasize what they're going to do with their lives?"

Don't worry about it Ten Packs...you know as well as I do that he's doomed to get old just like the rest of us. In the meantime, he's not exactly wrong, is he?

Actually, he IS, Rev.... I have already DONE sh*t! - a LOT of sh*t!

Once he has raised two fine kids who never got in trouble, held down a responsible job for 35 years, bought and sold several houses, still happily shares the same home with a woman after 33 years, has seen a parent through the death of the other parent, and so on.... well, HE is just blowing smoke!

Just another case of KMA..... :roll: :roll: :roll:

Yes, get the recipe for the horseradish thing. Trust me, your mom may die before you get it, mine did. Damned shortbread again.

Headcheese is gross. Now some nice ox tongue, nummy.

I make the shortbread at our house, greta - my wife refuses because she swears mine is better than hers (and heres is great).

Can give you the recipe if you want, but I warn you, the "first" ingredient is "elbow grease" - if you're not ready to be puffing and have a sore arm by the time the dough is ready, don't bother.

Oh barf... I used to shingle with a guy (SH*T! He was from Winnipeg too, Somebody Thompson...) who ate that gelatinous dog-food.

No sale, Rev......

By the way I already know what I'm going to with my life(serve GOD) I actually have something worth living for while those of you who chose option 3 in that poll obviously don't(not yet anyway)

I'm a bit surprised nobody's challenged that fatuous nonsense yet, even in a light-hearted thread like this one. I find that offensively arrogant and self-righteous. What is it with you Bubble, you figure anyone who doesn't believe in your version of God has nothing worth living for? What's obvious to you might actually have nothing to do with reality, and I can only hope that a little age and experience might mellow that attitude.

I'm an atheist Bubble. I don't believe in your God, or any other, but I have many things worth living for: a fabulous and loving wife of almost 30 years, two wonderful adult children who are making a success of their lives (also without any belief in any gods), five brothers and sisters with whom I'm very close, good and loyal friends, and a lot of people I don't know at all who depend on my judgement and integrity in the volunteer work I do (I'm retired). And by the way, I'm an honest, upright, decent and moral person by any standard you can imagine, and no god had anything to do with that, those are choices I made about who I wanted to be and how I wanted to live my life.

On the other hand, since by my own choice there's no role for any god in my life, perhaps my time on this planet is a total waste and I should just rush out and jump off the nearest bridge right now. Nothing to live for, you see... :roll:

Isn't Bubble in grade 8 or something?

I was totally insane at that age too. Some people truly have their heads up their asses. Life without God is still LIFE, plus you don't have to send 10% of your earnings to the church!!!

Yeah, I think probably most of us were. Nice bit of wisdom there Greta. When I think about what I used to be like, or read diary entries from 30 years ago, I blush. I really should burn those things, they don't flatter me; I keep them only because every now and then they're useful to remind me of what a fool I once was. In fact I was well into my 30s before I became a decent human being by my current standards. You wanna talk about ignorant, arrogant young men, I set the standard until a few hard knocks--which I totally deserved--finally pounded some sense and humility into me. I still don't think I'm quite who I want to be, but I get closer all the time.

I used to know a lot more than I do now. Or at least I thought I did, but I was dead wrong about almost everything that really matters. But that's a long story and a dirty one, for another thread. If I feel like telling the tale. Which I probably won't. It's dull, stupid, and predictable. I can summarize it this way: I used to be a world class asshole, but now I'm a pretty nice guy. I think.

I cook perogies better than most people. I also cook perogies better than I officiate weddings. Cooking perogies does not require public speaking. It is important to remember that at all times.

To heck with cyber!! We want a perogie tasting for real! I'd damn near walk across the country for a good perogie if I wasn't lucky enough to live with the perogie queen herself!
