How old is the grandson?

But, I *do* have fiber sensitivities so unsure if that counts as true snobbery; have really bad reaction to some fibers & high-micron-count fibers. Very color aware, always have been, & some colors - ewww! Tea? Just know what tastes best to me. :-)

I'm extremely "low maintenance" in almost every way about almost every thing. Just not interested in being "demanding."

I'm like that when it comes to color too. We almost bought a car but the radio digital numbers were bile yellow. I chose the car with the blue digital numbers my husband can't understand it.

I like that.

And a ice cream snob.

Crap. This was supposed to be the start of a new poll, not a comment.

Well, happy birthday anyway!

Have a very very happy birthday did you get anything special? Did you eat anything special?

Got some video games and other great gifts. Ate at one of my favorite restaurants. It was a very good day.

Good.

The more I think about it, I'm a terrible snob about lots of things.

I love you anyway.

Thanks!

I don't care for yellow mustard much, either. Loops Deli mustard is my favorite. Poultry works for me if it's organic or Kosher, but the stuff from grocery stores tastes like cardboard and I doubt is even healthy.

I don't like yellow mustard either. We get beaver mustard when were in Corvallis

I'll have to try the kosher chicken sometime, thanks. Personally, I prefer Inglehoffer Stone Ground mustard, I've never had Beaver, but I think I've heard of it. It has horseradish maybe?

Get it fresh from a Kosher butcher shop, if possible; not the frozen stuff in a grocery store. Then if you still don't like it, you really don't like it.

Trader Joe's sells Empire brand Kosher chickens. With these babies, you can't go wrong!

I think it's named for Oregon State University. It has to kick to it and it's really good I don't want mustard either.

When I was shopping at Trader Joe's what time somebody stop me and asked me where the kosher section was.

^^ @Tops: Haha!

That's the real white girl wasted right there!

Don't understand your reply? ?

It's a joke. That white girl wasted is actually drinking Starbucks coffee.

I do that, too.

It's the only one I will use. It's a great product and I love that they donate it to save the birds after every oil spill.

I totally agree with you I think so too

When I'm at my daughters house I always tease my son-in-law. And ask him where the miracle whip is. He is a mayo man.

Oops I mean manual transmissions

Both but I prefer knitting now. I am determined not to take up spending.

I have crocheted for many years...mostly white crochet. Started knitting about 3 yrs ago and rarely crochet anymore.

Twins!

I got some wonderful yarn manufactured in France and it's not that expensive. If you ask for their sample book it is amazing. Bergere de France. The prices are quite good. I'm meeting my daughter at neck scarf or should be.

Thanks for sharing info about the French yarn. I will take a peek for it!

I got some cyclone and I making my daughter and my son scarfs with it. So soft. And sounds very impressive when you tell somebody you need them something with love from imported from French yarn.

South of us in Bandon Oregon they have a Cheesefactory that one international awards.

Oregon cheese is quite good.

Face rock cheese. Bandon Or. Bandit has a bookstore where I get most of my knitting books they have good quilt books too m

On things like yarn though there is a big difference in the quality. I think Costco is good stuff anyway.

Okay if I ever post I'm going to Montana let me know where to go I love malts especially chocolate ones. I like my malt barely so it's crunchy

^^ Tops, see Missoula and Bozeman, and especially Glacier National Park! It's right up there with the Grand Canyon in spectacular-ness.

I keep those thoughts to myself though. Unlike many of my fellow gamers, I don't go around insulting people for being, as they often put it, "filthy casuals".

What are some of your favorite games of all time?

Bioshock, Septerra Core, Dust: An Elysian Tail, Fallout: New Vegas, Tomb Raider (2013), The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Halo, Final Fantasy X, To the Moon, and I could go on. I never can narrow it down, because I love so many for different reasons.

Wow, I've never played those. Been out of gaming for a solid ten or so years though. My all time favorites were the Wing Commander series, and Prince of Persia. The story was well done, particularly in the latter.

I loved Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. But after Warrior Within disappointed and frustrated me to no end, I left the series. Heard of Wing Commander growing up, but never tried one. Got 3 free on Origin though. Might try it out eventually.

Warrior Within was disappointing, but Two Thrones really tied it all together and redeemed the series in my opinion. I'd give it a try. I didn't make it past that one, but not because I was disappointed.

You have that one right sister!

Do you have a favorite tea brand?

I order on line. www.adagio.com

I live for good tea. Love tasting the different varieties of breakfast teas...especially when it is served with fresh organic milk in a proper teacup. Best everyday for me is a rotation of PG Tips, Yorkshire Gold, Tazo Awake, or Two Leaves.

I will definitely try Adagio! Do you have a favorite black tea? Thanks for the introduction!

Ceylon sonata is my go to. There is a Chinese black tea that i also like that is very expensive- can't remember which.
