BigStewMan Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 never was a big fan of halloween. I did the trick or treat thing when I was a kid like everyone else and likely ate candy while walking around and not waiting for my parent's to "inspect" it, which I don't recall them ever doing anyway. We didn't use no plastic jack o lanterns -- we filled pillow cases and had the intel going about which houses had the "good candy." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 DUDE!!! @BigStewMan must be younger than me I remember before the shards of blades in the apples in TX started all that. We didn't take apples except for the fresh made caramel ones the lady on Delchester Dr. made every year, had to walk through their haunted decorated house to get them and everyone knew they were worth it! King sized pillowcases that we ate and traded candy from every day of the year and threw out the leftovers the next year when Halloween was there. We'd stash `em between the big rocks at the creek and get the next ones out to fill. Oh, and yea was forced to brush my teeth more than twice a day almost until New Years Day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I remember going ALL over the place yet taking home the same amount of candy every year. Worked like a charm. "Where did you go? Stay around here?" "Yup!" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there is a certain amt of science involved. Water temp. Grind of coffee. Length of steep.... Grind the beans a good bit more coarse, the screen would let small grinds through and it wouldn't be "good until the last drop" that way! Let it steep like + or - four minutes before you press it slowly and steadily down. That was in instructions for a fragile one that broke on me years ago. *205 degrees is what all the coffee-geek websites say, just shy of a boil. Wanna get more technical, pour water over the grinds slowly in a circular motion when the bubble starts to form in the middle let it sit for a minute before putting the top on the thing. That bubble in the grinds rising like bread in the oven is the bloom. Edited October 31, 2021 by JohnJ * 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 @JohnJ I'd be sooooo losted! I just get to thinking about a french press and think of wimmen. Can't handle those either especially a french one. The coffee? Totally clueless. Think @richiebis starting to get what I've had for a few years now. No TV? HOW are you existing Bill??? Still taking your time wandering aimlessly in that garden or ya finally done? lol 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Not much for me to worry about missing except for my Hurricanes on tv now. I would pull for the next up fave in NCAA football if I could watch that! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOW are you existing Bill??? That's funny. We cut the satellite last week, got hulu+ instead at less than half of what the sat cost. After checking to see if everything we watched was included including live sports we switched. Hulu is a little harder to get around on (still learning) and slightly less convenient but for about $64 and plus still saving that much over sat it's good. Sat had a couple hundred channels we never watched but you had to have to get the few we wanted, they work it like that, well not for me anymore. Picture is just as good, from looks and acording to what resulition the tv say it is gitting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezin' Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 62 and never owned a TV. Not to say I haven't watched TV just too cheap to purchase one and then pay to use it. I occasionally check out stuff online but not a regular happening. $100+ monthly for something I haven't the time to devote to it is just out of the question. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I will say is that I CAN live without any TV, but I could never live without music. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I was delerious in the hospital for her birth after being awake for almost 3 days straight from working and family. She was supposed to be born on the 30th. I wished no matter what it would be Halloween. Low and behold, 0630 she was born! Best day of my life. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
