Oh yeah...

The next poster can read the writing on the wall.

BadNick

True, I do like some of the graffiti I see.

Now that we're into the first day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, the next person will miss Winter.

ring

oh, probably not until about, August, when I'm prostrate and gasping
from the heat and humidity.

The next poster clings to familiarity.

jewels

What's up with your prostate?

Clings to familiarity? Not at all. While I do enjoy traditions and certain special things, I'm at my best when I'm challenged and things are changing.

Speaking of change, what has been the most significant change in yourself this past year or so?

Both are, "Stinky stinky pew pew pew."

You love to suck on lemons.

BadNick

Yes, but I always sprinkle them with plenty of sugar.

The next poster hopes to get roses for Valentine's Day ...to make rose petal jam.



Rose Petal Jam
1 cup fresh rose petals (must never have been sprayed with any chemicals) 3/4 cup water
Juice of 1 lemon
2 1/2 cups sugar,
1 package pectin (ie. Sure Jell)
3/4 cup water

Puree rose petals, 3/4 cup water and lemon juice in blender until smooth. Slowly add sugar. Blend till all sugar has dissolved; (leave in blender) Stir 1 package pectin (ie. Sure Jell) into 3/4 cup water, bring to a boil, and boil hard for 1 minute. Pour mixture into blender with rose petal mixture until well blended. Do this very quickly - it sets up FAST!! Pour into baby food jars. Let set for 6 hours, till firm. Will keep one month in refrigerator. Freezes well.

jewels

I'll take the roses, without the jam, although I'd rather not wait for V-day.

Next poster prefers vanilla over chocolate.

yes ...to the extent that I need a job and this one is about as good as it could be. But if I hit the lottery big time, I would retire ...maybe I should buy lottery tickets.

The next poster is looking forward to May 1st to be dancing the Maypole and crowning of the May Queen.

jewels

Any excuse to dance with a pole.

You are thinking about a new hairstyle in the near future.

Now I'm sorry I'm not Polish, but I do have a lot of hair and I've been told my hairstyle is "windswept".

The next poster will be taking a "sick day" on the day after Cinco de Mayo ...which intruigingly enough is Sexto de Mayo.

Jetée

False ( if by some strange happenstance that it becomes true, I'll invoke the 'dare' clause) ...and True, intriguingly.


The person below me has eaten and/or will eat a sandwich today.

The next poster ate too much for lunch today. Urp.

Ultraviolet is hotter than infrared

dd3953

False??? I did a quick search on this one, and from what I found, infrared can be found in anything above absolute zero, meaning it would be part of ultraviolet, giving it it's heat, making this a trick question.

The next poster knows if my answer to the above poster's question is right.
