Something we all can relate to part 2

[Peru Bob]

The new forum needs a little bit of humor to release the tension of the changeover, so I've started part 2 of the old thread so that we don't have to keep scrollong to the end of the old thread.

If it gets too long before the "go to the latest reply" issue is resolved, I can lock this thread and link to a part 3 thread.

What do you think?

When I lived in Chicago, Jacqueline Bisset went to a new trendy restaurant, and the waitress asked her, "Has anyone ever told you you look like an older version of Jacqueline Bisset?"  It was in Irv Kupcinet's column the next day. I always wondered if she got fired.

Ouch!

Yesterday, I kicked my toe, removed the toenail.

I learnt several new languages!

[Nancy OShea]

Double OUCH!!

Oh, that looks nasty! I was running around trying to get a condo ready to sell, and kicked the bed frame. I thought I broke a toe, but didn't go to the doctor. Finally, I was having another issue with my foot, so I had the doc xray the toe. He confirmed that I did break it. Not much to do about it at that point.

Hah! As some of you know, I used to be a model. On the set in this pic of me below, the food stylist sprayed hairspray on the celery. She told me she's also sprayed shellac on food such as apples, and has used glass blocks instead of ice cubes and I forget what she said they used instead of ice cream but it was sickening hah. The shoot can drag on for hours, and ice cubes and ice cream melt. They have very interesting tricks.    -edit typo

Very convincing, Leslie. Also might make the casual cook wonder why their offerings don't ever look that good.

The answer is: "You don't want to know."

This is som very convincing work Leslie. Focus in on the foreground but there is still beauty all around!

I think I read somewhere that Crisco was used for ice cream

Mashed potatoes & glue.  Scrumptious!  [not]

I love this, @gener7. On the first cookbook I produced, circa 1999, I approved a massive budget for the grocery list. On my way to the kitchen set, I was thinking we'd save money because we wouldn't have to go out for any meals. Ha!

I miss Grumpy Cat. She was a sweetie, and her eyes were a gorgeous shade of blue.

I don’t mean to be a Grinch, however.... to those of you who are
placing Christmas lights/decorations in your yards, would you please
avoid anything that has Red / Blue flashing lights together!! Every
time I come around the corner, I think it's the police. I have to
brake hard, toss my margarita out the window, fasten my seat belt,
throw my phone on the floor, turn my radio down, and push the gun
under the seat. All while trying to drive. It's just too much drama,
even for Christmas. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

How is it working to avoid a ticket by having a lifelike blow up doll in the passenger seat while driving in the restricted lane on the highway?
