Hardest part is finding the right kind of bulgur wheat
One cup of dry bulgur wheat In a big bowl Pour boiling water over it just to cover Let sit a minute Pour off any excess water Then fine chop fresh curly parsley until you have about two cups worth Fine chop Fresh scallions, about one cup worth Coarse chop two medium ripe tomatoes Seed them first if you prefer Mix all ingredients and LIBERALLY douse with lemon juice and olive oil Salt to taste In Israel where I learned to make this they also add a cup of chopped Fresh mint but I don’t add that Let it refrigerate for a couple hours This stuff is the food of the gods. It is the healthiest food stuff I know. You can actually live on this. It has all the nutrients humans need for a healthy life Oh yeah, you’re supposed to sing the tabbouli song while you’re making it. It is sung to old Mister Roger’s introductory song for mister rogers neighborhood. “Tabbouli tabbouli it soon will be tabbouli…” and so on |

I happen to have a completely different perspective on respect
I was raised to show respect to everyone In the event that someone does something which I cannot tolerate then I begin to lose respect for them, but I still continue to show respect as much as possible. I don’t understand why so many people nowadays have that attitude of respect is earned’ Actually I feel that this is a symptom of our society’s decline towards insensitivity and disrespect But anyway I continue in the old fashioned manners I was brought up with |

I still miss someone
Johnny Cash Sure Gia I’ll listen to some of the songs you post But what should I say or do if I don’t like it? I mean, I don’t want to hurt your feelings But I really don’t like any music after 1981 And I’m afraid that I am rather stubborn and close minded about that Don’t take it personally if I don’t like it okay? Maybe if you post that the song is before 1981 I will be more inclined to listen to it and like it By the way you don’t really have to listen to my songs And I’m glad that you’re dog is okay It’s funny how He only picks on your things Give him a good belly rub for me Chocolate labs are a lot of fun |

Gilbert and Sullivan
From the opera “pinafore” Song title- “My gallant crew: I am the captain of the Pinafore “ Now Gia, that’s a song I heartily recommend But my mom played classical music for me when I was just a lad and look what happened to me: there’s dog fur in most of the food I eat and my dog just ate another dog toy! |

What Would Happen

Dude I just want to say that your profile is effin’ HILARIOUS! Totally rofl! You should have been a country music song writer! Johnny cash would have been proud.
Anyway if women ruled the world I really think that there wouldn’t be any wars anymore. There’d be fewer guns and less violence. There would also be many more vineyards and wineries. The government subsidies which go to airlines and auto makers would be channeled towards tampon manufacturing and shoemakers. And I firmly maintain that they’d do something more to fight global warming but they’d still want to keep the windows closed at night. (Nervously awaiting blondey to reply) Peace ladies |

I might be a little out of the ordinary on this (what am I saying- I’m a freak) but my attitude towards failure is far more accepting than others.
To me, failure is like an old friend. We’ve been living quietly together for forty years or so, and we’ve gotten to know each other quite well. I don’t get depressed over my own failures anymore. When I get depressed it’s usually about what others are doing to animals or the environment. But I’m curious if anyone else feels that way about failure. Is failure your enemy or a friend? |

Oh it’s helpful alright
A little too helpful If you’re not careful you will soon be literally inundated with messages from beautiful women The only problems are: A. Many of the messages will probably be from fake profiles, and B. The rest will come from beautiful enticing women who live about five hundred and forty miles away from you Nevertheless keep your chin up, it’s possible to get lucky anywhere (Except for me of course) My best advice, hang out on this forum and play some good wholesome games while you’re waiting cheers |

Lung, all your doing is cutting and pasting articles from the news?
I was born Jewish and lived in Jerusalem for half a year. But I still think that the zionists are a bunch of wacko weirdo’s. The Orthodox Jews are just as guilty as hamas and they’re breeding like flies. It’s sick. I remember hiking around the Negev desert back in the 80’s. No houses, no roads, just wild beautiful desert. Look, over there! I saw a black jaguar sleeping on a flat rock! But now it’s all housing development full of crazy Dati! No more jaguars anymore 🥺 Shame on both sides! |
