The relaxing non judgemental random thoughts thread

If I could get something done in soy based inks that resembled this painting I own, by a tattooist who could do the painting justice, I would. But I doubt I'll ever be able to afford anything. I have a bag scar I'd happily hide on my left lower leg (+114 stitches etc). But given I don't earn any money, it's probably only ever going to be wishful thinking!

My middle son (who has cerebral palsy) is carefully separating a bowl of dried canelli beans (white) and kidney beans (red). He can do this for hours. It´s amazing how some of the simplest tasks in life are the most satisfying.

You've reminded me of a time when my husband used to buy the bags of nuts & fruit we ate whilst cycling around the world. He'd empty the bags of individual nuts & dried fruit into a larger waterproof fold over to bag, shake them about and give me a handful at the top of every hour, only to watch me pick all of 1 type of nut out, eat them, then the next nut, eat them, then.... one by one. It took me ages to train him not to mix the nuts and fruit!
I love nuts and dried fruit, all separately, can't stand the different textures and tastes in my mouth when they are mixed up together!

(And yes, I used to eat smarties by colour as well (when I could eat them). )

It's amazing! I would agree with you it would look great to cover scars with.

That’s how I eat trail mix as well.

Most foods like that, I sort one way or another. Crisps/chips, I eat the broken ones first, smallest to largest, then the intact ones, smallest to largest, which is why I go into fits when MrsT suddenly decides, after I’ve eaten all the subpar ones, she wants a couple of mine - I put in the work to get to the best ones…I earned them!

I’m the exact opposite - my riding coach gave me a jar of homemade trail mix for Christmas, and it was nicely layered - a later of almonds, then chocolate chips, the dried cranberries, etc.

First thing I did was shake the jar to mix everything up!

On the contrary. Firstly, it gets something off your chest, and secondly, there's no chance the other person is going to accost you in a coffee shop and remonstrate with you!!

But that's most important! Someone can't be wrong on the internet, that must be corrected instantly!
 
I’m happy that they put in secure bike parking at the train station near me so I can ride my bike to the station now.

I am incredibly salty that I had to pay $50 a year to access it, when car parking is free. Last I checked, the secure bike parking is going to need minimal (if any) plowing or salting in the winter, and it sure won’t need the stripes re-painted or potholes filled every few years, either.

Why am I being financially penalized for taking the sustainable, healthy, congestion-relieving, fun method of transportation instead of my car?

Here’s mine for today:

I’m having breakfast in a sit-down restaurant, and the fellow behind me is really annoying the hell out of me!

Why? Because he keeps saying “do,” as in:

“What would you like to start off with to drink?”
“I think I’ll do the coffee, with cream and sugar.”
<Comes back with coffee>
“Ready to order?”
“Yeah, I’m gonna do the two-egg side meat special…I’ll do those eggs scrambled, and I’ll do bacon for the meat.”
“White or wheat toast or a biscuit?”
“I’ll do the biscuit.”

God help me…

I will start.

My husband plays the same 4 cds from his favorite band in the car ALL the time. So all the songs of that band get stuck in my head for weeks on end. I talked to him about it, but he likes it and I'm not the one to make an issue out of something that small. So I am stuck 'listening' to their songs in my head almost all year unless I listen to something else. But even that doesn't always help.

People say that people who eat garlic have bad breath, but I personally think milk drinkers and old cheese eaters are far worse. Also raw onion! Ugh.

I think beige is an incredibly dull color and should be banned.

I would favor banning neck ties and robo calls. I refuse to respond to a computer on the telephone.
