-thing you learned in school that you actually use in 'real life'
Little to nothing.

-question you still seek an answer to
Why the Chicago Cubs haven't won a WS in 100+ years. I think it's because of Wrigley Field and if they demolished it, they'd have a dynasty on the north side. I often get overly emotional responses to this proposal - hence no answer to the question.

[Rouskyrie]

Friend (Thinker) asked if I could make a list of questions for our group while travelling. The 'wish list' was: 1. fun to talk about 2. help us get to know each other more deeply and 3. coax out more 'emotion' or personal details.

We've had great conversations now & it's made me want to hear what you all would say too. Do 'em all or just pick one that appeals. Look forward to reading your replies on the road! >^.,.^<

Will answer myself when have more consistent net access.

[MENTION=4299]meowington[/MENTION] What is teletext?


[MENTION=4050]ceecee[/MENTION] My Dad shares your pizza woes You are the only other person I have ever 'met' who eats Wasa crackers.

Dumb waiters! Yes!


[MENTION=29179]Rouskyrie[/MENTION] This blew my mind

That everyone is struggling and sometimes you're the only person who will ask if they need help. It goes a long way.

 

[mystik_INFJ]

[MENTION=4299]meowington[/MENTION] What is teletext?

Teletext - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's a crude form of a internet via analog cable. It was like a website on TV that you could access and view stuff like tv guide, news, weather, sometimes it would allow the load of subtitles for some channels and even play some basic games. But it was channel specific and the information was created by the channel owners. Consider it like a homepage for each channel. Not all channels had this.

The addressing was done via page numbers from 000 to 999. You couldn't search for something by typing what you were looking for. Instead, you had an index page and you needed to type in the page number that was allocated to the respective item, and the index page was usually 101 while the homepage was 100 (loaded at startup). The search was slow. It would start searching at 100 and go to the page one by one. So let's say that you searched page 600. It would go to 600 by starting from 100 and showing at the top that it is searching. It usually took about 10-50 pages per second. Some channels had fast search, other were really slow. The colors are 8 bit? Could be wrong, but no way could it display more than 256 colors, and the resolution was shit.

I guess it's more of an European thing. It didn't catch on in America. This is why you may have not heard of it. Oddly enough, it still exists today. I have accidentally hit the teletext button recently and saw it's still active. This despite having digital tv with a proper program guide.

[ceecee]

[MENTION=4050]ceecee[/MENTION] My Dad shares your pizza woes You are the only other person I have ever 'met' who eats Wasa crackers.

Really? (on the Wasa). I love them and they keep making more good things like flatbreads and they always have new ideas for toppings. I'm not Scandinavian at all but I get accused of being one because I eat rather gross things with them. Like sardines and whitefish salad spread. On the pizza front - that is my cross to bear. I love anchovies. It's the most maligned food in the world. After haggis.

continuation

-memory with a family member
Arguing with my grandfather about that I’m not going to go asleep when I was about 2-3. I was something as “Kas sleeps”, “Kas doesn’t sleep” repeated many times. Rest of family seemed bored, the grandfather was amused.

-thing you learned in school that you actually use in 'real life'
Many things. Knowledge from lessons is sometimes useful when I talk with someone and some social (survival) skills are definitely useful.

-question you still seek an answer to
Why?

-quality you take some pride in
No idea in this moment.

-way to blow off steam
Physical exhaustion is best way. Also writing, I have this theory that bad emotions written down partly disappear.

Coffee in the morning. Men’s perfumes.

-exclamation when you are mad
Oh no?

-lie you tell yourself or others
I'm always fine

-wonder found in nature
When you’re sleeping somewhere on top of the mountain and in the morning mist is coming up. Nothing as having breakfast in the clouds. It's like living in Laputa.

-tradition you have
Traditions are usually something I share with others like wine evenings at N. house or movie nights with my sister.

Oh god ! I was thinking you are dreaming of being kissed in the toilets.

I was reading the wrong lines

 

[Cloudpatrol]

Thanks [MENTION=24824]Kas[/MENTION]. Honestly: whenever someone posts here my heart gives a little jump for joy. It's one of my favourite threads because of how generous and fascinating peeps are.


Neat [MENTION=29251]mystik_INFJ[/MENTION]! I had never heard of it.


You like strong flavours [MENTION=4050]ceecee[/MENTION]. So do I. (I like anchovies but not on pizza ) Do you like fermented things like kimchi, and vinegary tastes?


Hahaha! [MENTION=22064]RedAmazoneFriendZone[/MENTION] Actually I'm a fan of kissing in the bathroom (but NOT while 'using' it)

You like strong flavours [MENTION=4050]ceecee[/MENTION]. So do I. (I like anchovies but not on pizza ) Do you like fermented things like kimchi, and vinegary tastes?

I like kimchi. Vinegary tastes - oh yes. I can pickles, giardiniera, pickled spiced peaches, even relish. For the last few years, we've been making something called a dill crock.

What in the World is a Dill Crock and why would I want one? | melindamcguirewrites

Here's the original recipe from the Stocking Up book

Euell Gibbon's Dill Crock | Kitchen Gardeners International

We started it when we had a bumper crop of green beans and Thai peppers. Since we all loved pickled and fermented things, this was ideal. Now we add any firm, crisp veggie to the crock, just making sure it's submerged. It's so delicious and keeps 2-3 months in the fridge. But it's never lasted that long here.

-superhero power

I've always liked Beast Boy's power allowing him to transform into any animal which basically gives him the ability to traverse across any type of terrain on earth. If not that, probably some combination of healing light, invisibility, and force fields. I guess since it's not what I'd personally choose and rather my favorite I'd have to go with Starfire's flight (controlled via emotional state) and starbolts.

-memory with a family member

the time the alternator went out on our car on a family vacation in the Appalachians... and we were on top of a mountain. my dad decided to coast down the mountain while my mom held onto the door with a death grip and kept hissing at my sister and I while we were giggling in the back seat and pretending to be on a roller coaster. a nice garage at the bottom of the mountain let my dad do his own work there while my mom, sister and I explored the town... weird memory, but it always sticks with me

-wonder found in nature

oooh... so many of them! my parents own a nature preserve where I grew up and liked to vacation at national parks, so I grew up surrounded by nature! one thing that's always struck me as starkly beautiful though is sycamore trees against the blue winter sky in the snow though... brilliantly white skeletal branches against the blue sky... something so pretty and oddly disturbing about it at the same time

christmas eve at my parents' house is an important one... and the man and I have clean sheet and clean dog Tuesday which are important household traditions we've had for years

-article of clothing or possession

I've had the same clear blue glass tea mug for around 25 years now... it goes where I go and nobody else may drink from it
