I am a pathological over packer. Then I get irritated when I have to drag the stuff everywhere. Must be genetic.

14233. judithathome - 3/21/2005 5:13:19 PM

I follow Thoughtful's rules for packing and rarely over-pack. Another hint...lay out each item, smooth it out and fold over once, then roll it. Less wrinkling and very efficient to pack, leaves more room than you'd expect.

Ooh! I'm quite envious!

I had rather an interesting weekend myself, though. Saturday was sandal and book shopping out with my bro and nephew but yesterday I went to the Silver Lake Leather Days Street Fair and let me tell you I have never seen so many pairs of ass-less chaps in my life.

Flexy always buys too many pears so I decide to poach the ones threatening to spoil. I find a recipe on Google and everything goes well until this heavenly smell reaches me. Always suspecting Flexy to buy sweet rolls, another one of his indulgences, I rush to the kitchen and find him stirring some sort of compote in the pot where the poached pears were cooling. Well, I never shut the heat off the pears and Flexy was just trying to help the situation--the resulting mess is delicious and there is no plan for lunch or dinner today.

Judith, it’s a good idea rolling clothes as you suggest. I believe in traveling with the kind of underwear you wash every night and hang to dry in the bathroom.

I really don't understand this with wet and dry harvesting. No rain, no forest, isn't that so?


If you run harvesting machinery on wet ground it causes much soil disturbance (compaction and rutting). People are concerned that this disturbance reduces soil quality and site productivity.

We take old stuff and discard it...we have a drawer full of old undies (mine and his) that go with us on trips but don't make it home. Sounds scandalous but makes life much easier while travelling.

kinky

14240. KuligintheHooligan - 3/21/2005 8:52:03 PM

"we have a drawer full of old undies"

or perhaps "stinky" is more appropriate?

14241. judithathome - 3/21/2005 9:39:01 PM

Not at all...they might be shabby but they are clean. I think it's telling you can't even make a joke about me without being insulting, however.

You might be interested to know I learned this little trick from a well known travel magazine. But I suppose you'd rather drag dirty underwear around in your suitcase...fine by me. I think we know which one would be stinky, though. ;-)

" I think it's telling you can't even make a joke about me without being insulting, however."

Do you have a persecution complex, judith? "Stinky underwear" is hardly insulting. Nor was it intended as such.

Thin skin today, no doubt?

14243. Magoseph - 3/21/2005 9:42:34 PM

As a rule, I don’t criticize people who express themselves honestly and with conviction—I reserve my quiver for those who fabricate and misrepresent reality to an intolerable level and those who play at dispensing needless cruelty.

14244. KuligintheHooligan - 3/21/2005 9:42:35 PM

perhaps i should have put that cute little emoticon at the end of my stinky comment just ta make ya feel a little less threatened juds?

:-)

Is that better now??

14245. KuligintheHooligan - 3/21/2005 9:44:38 PM

"I reserve my quiver for those who fabricate and misrepresent reality to an intolerable level and those who play at dispensing needless cruelty"

yeah, yeah, and I suppose claiming someone to be sexually abused by their grandfather just doesn't cut it for ya there, hey Mags of empty quiver? Whatever.

14246. judithathome - 3/21/2005 9:49:22 PM

What the hell are you going on about...who was abused by their grandfather?

14247. KuligintheHooligan - 3/21/2005 9:52:50 PM

It's no matter. I came in this thread just to poke a little fun at you, judith, and you took it entirely the wrong way. Kinky rhymes with stinky. Stinky underwear. It just seemed funny to me, and I thought it would to you as well.

I honestly meant nothing insulting about it, although obviously I am intending to insult you in the other thread. I'll just stay outta this thread. See ya.

14248. Magoseph - 3/21/2005 10:06:56 PM

yeah, yeah, and I suppose claiming someone to be sexually abused by their grandfather just doesn't cut it for ya there, hey Mags of empty quiver? Whatever.

Look, Kuli, such and such said that she was abused as a child by her grandfather, which is a terrible experience and is much too common—I don’t doubt her veracity—I wonder, though, why you do.

14249. PelleNilsson - 3/21/2005 10:08:34 PM

"Stinky underwear" is hardly insulting.

Unbelivable.

14250. KuligintheHooligan - 3/21/2005 10:26:24 PM

Mags, I don't know what you are talking about. I never saw someone claim to be sexually abused by her grandfather. Jexster, however, said I was. He said it in the Religion thread. No doubt you thought it humorous and left it at that. You can read about it over there. Good bye to you, Miss Double Standard.

pelle, you are an asshole in every sense of the word. Those pics of you by WoW, well, to be honest, I didn't see anything doctored about them at all. They perfectly portrayed how I envisioned you to be. You are one sad, old, despicable man. And you can take that and put it in the Inferno if you like.

old, stinky underwear...

kinky...

stinky...

just a play on words....

you humorous Swede.

14251. PelleNilsson - 3/21/2005 10:30:42 PM

I appreciate of course, a distinguished scholar's appreciation of my humble personality. Thank you Kuligin. Thank you of all my heart. I shall never forget.
