And in southern va too! Every time me and my dad used to go down to Martinsvulle speedway to see the big modified races, we’d go get those pink hot dogs.

God knows what was in em.

Good morning L2WU

 

[BlackSatinKnight]

Good morning everyone. It’s been a while since I’ve logged on, and real life events are dragging me away from Lit. I’ll still pop in occasionally, but I wanted to thank everyone here. This is the one board where I could open up, get on my soapbox, and generally be myself without posing for the rest of the world. I hope you all stay safe and take care.

Morning all... that bad weather skipped my neck of the woods. Coulda used some precipitation, but not complaining

And for whatever reason he loved Godzilla movies. So do I!

Never got into the traditional Godzilla movies but the one with Matthew Broderick and Jean Reno? I've watched that one more than half a dozen times.

Sometimes best not to know..... hahaha

Skip my post! Skip my post!!
Decades ago, one of my brothers did Storytime with my youngest sibling. He told the story of "The Making of a Hot Dog". She hasn't eaten one since.

Morning all. Today is the anniversary of my arrival in this weird world 55 years ago.

Happy Birthday!!
Hotdog's on me

My life partner’s daughter is in ER with neck and joint pain, headache, and entire body rash. They are doing CT and spinal fluid test. Say a good word for them.

Keep us posted, B2! I hope it's something easily treatable... sounds very scary rn though.

Certainly true of the big box gyms

Long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... I joined one of those Big Box Gyms.
Three days later I was diagnosed with Mono.
Almost needed an Act of Congress to break that contract.

Good morning everyone. It’s been a while since I’ve logged on, and real life events are dragging me away from Lit.

Good to see you!!
RL has been known to interfere w/ Lit from time to time.
No worries - just happy to see you as time permits.

Parenting continues even when they are adults. I worry and hold my tongue unless I see something that is self destructive. Watching their mistakes hurts but realize I had to make mistakes to learn too.

Yep, got one I just shake my head at. In general, this one is pointed in the 'right direction'. But there's a whole big pile of lessons waiting to be learned the hard way. This one has never wanted to learn lessons taught by others, always wanted to learn them the hard way. The "pain method" of learning seems to stick better here. Had one "big scary lesson" jut the other day (OK, it really was nothing, but seemed huge from their perspective. LOL! ). Rather than call and ask advice first...

Like I said, headed in the right direction in general, just zig-zagging between some life lessons on the way.

I have some family with the same learning style.
Hard to watch and sounds exhausting for them... but yeah, it tends to "stick" better for them.

Time to hit that grindstone again...
My day's about to get busy - and then I have an appointment after work. So I may not be as active on Lit as I was yesterday.

I am so independent that marriage would be a disaster for me... I would be a great girlfriend though....

I think independence in a marriage is good. You are each your individual selves, but compromise to be with each other.

 

[Missk_2022]

That sounds like a great trip!

Thanks! Time off was hectic but very enjoyable... my Lovely Wife is doing well, but we're both very tired of the relentless winds we've been having.

The wind here scares me.... there is a Field behind my house, and the trees that were back there I had to cut down because they were too close to the house and d e a d. The wind hits my house going about 90. Feels like all my siding is going to fall off. We had an F1 tornado last year, and it was so scary, I wonder if that made me a little bit more fearful. I grew up in a house that was built in 1870s, and solid as a rock. My house not so much.

 

[Missk_2022]

LOL! When my uncle and I would go fishing he’d always bring Vienna Sausages and/or potted meat to snack on. He would tell me they were monkey peters!

Haha.. 8 will never be able to eat1 vienna sausage again.....haha

Yes I will

Lol and not lol. It's great that your honest but even greaterer that your honest with yourself.

That level of introspection shows a commitment to setting expectations and boundaries that are attainable and obvious.

I know what you mean... it gets spooky. Fortunately, we're remote enough to not have many ignition sources and our external siding is metal.

So for the unwashed…here’s your BBQ primer…

NC BBQ - split into Eastern NC (vinegar based sauce w spices) and Western NC (Tomato/ketchup/molasses or sweet)
SC BBQ - mustard based sauce. Good but not my fav…

Both of these mainly piggy

Tennessee - Dry rub spice
KC - a mix of dry rub spice and sweet sauce

Mainly beef and Tennessee mostly ribs

TX - spicer sauces with a healthy mix of the rub and others. Brisket is king

BBQ is kind of like sex…even when it’s bad…it’s still pretty good!

If I could up vote this comment more times I would. Spot on in a way i had never put together on my own.

Dry rub only, for me, has to be done to perfection. Any dryness is exposed and ruins it for me. I like a constant wetting along the entire process. (Insert Beavis and Butthead meme)
