Well, since our Taco went up in smoke, we're going to settle for:

Meatloaf,

Corn on the cob,

and Mac Salad with eggs, pickle. apple, onion and olive oil mayo.

actually perfect for a warm almost-summer dinner (it's 109 right now so down a little from earlier).

That's all look delicious Tom, but is it just me or does that meatloaf look like it's floating?
 
My wife said the same thing 🤣 🤣 🤣
Excuse the bad language in advance, but I said, **** with 3 beers I can't be that drunk and if it is like that today I'll stop drinking lol
 
Got to stop the fun, I was messaged by someone from Canada yesterday. They messaged me with a politically insulting post. I did not respond to it but reported it. The thread they got it from is old, but had some new posts on it. BeanAnimal tried to cut them short but, guess they took it to direct messaging folks. Danial fixed it right on up. I had to bite my tongue to not reply to this individual, but I am here to learn, share, and have a good time

What I can recommend to you is exactly what you did. The places I've left this thread that haven't been a thread from a Smorgasbord member haven't gone very well for me since they're always attacks and contradictions and to get angry with life there are other topics. I come here to relax and have a good time with my friends and family

It's hard. You almost have to proof read every post because everyone's so hyper politicized nowadays. I know a few people who have 100% polar opposite views as me due to their posts(they backhanded/blatantly make there beliefs known even against TOS, but Im not about to let it effect how I talk/view them. That said, I think i'm one of the few who take the path less traveled. I like dialogue, not arguments so I dont mention it around people in general, let along those who will prefer to argue.

well said. levity is good.
 
Side note, BeanAnimal and I had a long drawn out argument when I first came on this forum. About tank heating. But I have since ditched my disgust for him based on what I have learned since. he is hard to deal with, but maybe i am too

I have seen a lot of his posts, hes very, abrasive, matter of fact, confident, and knowledgeable. Sometimes that's a hard combination. Especially considering everyones wrong at some point and matter of fact and confident can be a hard combo. I've never really talked with him one of one though
