Like me, Jucika is messy when it comes to eating ripe fruit. She requests a privacy screen from the waiter so that she can eat in the nude and not get her clothing dirty.

I wondered if anyone else would catch that. As macabre as they are, they are such a loving family.

Are we going to discover that Dale Gribble gave us yoink too ?
None off-hand, I do not. I got my wife a pair of usb heated socks from Costco many years ago, no idea of what the brand was. And I found usb heated gloves for her at a dollar store, again no idea of the brand.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What drink tastes awful but somehow people still act like it's amazing?
4·5 days agoI tried a number of beers over the years I drank, I never liked a single one of them. Sure I never tried every kind of beer.
On the other hand, I liked pizza from the first bite. Sure there are toppings I dislike on pizza, but the vast majority of pizza, I like. There was no finding the perfect pizza.
Beer is bad.
Did you get to wax off too? Or was it only wax on?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something that you want but can't justify to do / buy right now ?
3·9 days agoI have really been looking at trying to get one myself. I have an electric scooter which is great around town, but I want something that can take me farther (my dad lives about 30km / 19 miles from me and I hardly get out to see him).

I agree, and disagree. Nectarines are the best of the three to eat by hand. But peaches, an apricots are better cooked.
