I usually ask 3/4 or well done.

Same for me and my daughter. Well done please.

I installed it for my dad on his desktop last week. I haven't heard him complain about it, and when I asked him, he said, "It's fine" which could mean anything from just okay to the most wonderful thing he's ever experienced in his entire life. But no complaints so far, and he went from 7 to 10. I've used it since release, and although I was initially like Sheldon...

I came around. Some of the computers at school are running 8, and when I go to use them (one of my professors has a ridiculous rule that you have to use the school's computers while in his class; you have to use the school's), I'm kind of like:

Your teacher probably had heavy firewalled connection or controlled content to prevent students from wandering to facebook, social sites, sites..etc..
Also, he could be spying everything you do to see who is actually studying and those who just waste time in social sites

I've actually logged onto Facebook through the school computers. I've yet to figure out the professor's reasoning behind the rule.

Yes my boys when they were that age I know they are the exception rather than the rule.

Once again same here with my daughter.

I dont think either the corn chips or the beans were the issue.
The only way the microwave does sparks that could light up the cornchips or the paper is..
a) the power was too high and the time too long (aka the beans were way beyond boiling)
b) there was a metal piece or oil near the paper or the tortilla pieces.

I had an issue like that once with chips in a glass bowl...nothing metal at all. Same thing with a graham cracker like thing trying to make s'mores. I don't put those things in the microwave anymore.

I liked plain old regular mustard, and on occasion, will do ketchup. I pretty much like condiments, including pickles, and onions, and peppers.

I like my dogs either plain or with cheese sauce. I don't like condiments or anything like that. I don't like pickles, onions, relish, ketchup, or mustard.

 

[Songbird76]

Salsa with beans, on top of the chips. Hubby has cheese added on his. I wasn't cooking with cheese this time.

My friend from Mexico taught me to chop half an onion and mix it with the beans, with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Then you fry it. Simple and delicious, and it works with pretty much any kind of bean. If you are doing dried beans instead of canned, you have to soak them overnight, then boil them for an hour or 2 until you can stick a fork in them, then you take the beans with some of the water and add the onions, oil, etc.

 

[Songbird76]

Lol you're correct. Yo soy caliente is sort of saying "I'm hot!" (as in sexy, hor ny..etc..)
The word for embarrassed is "Apenada" "Embochornada" and I pregnant es Embarazada.. so yeah lol. funny confusion!

as for the bus one.. I'm curious, what is the spanish version of that? Because there are multiple variants and noone related to really catching a bus (some are sexual indirects and others are related to bad luck)

The one our Mexican exchange student said was that you should say you want to go with the bus, not use the word "catch" (which I don't remember what the verb 'to catch" in Spanish anymore...that was about 25 years ago and I only had one year of Spanish) because to "catch" a bus meant to have sex with the bus.

Also, went to the eye doctor, and splashing toilet bowl cleaner in my eye has not affected my vision. I just really shouldn't do it again.

I doubt they'd have recommended you do it the first time, but I'm no doctor.

weird.. no idea then.
I usually imagined that some oils could ignore.
Perhaps the processed food has certain type of oils that can ignite easily?

That is the usual way to refry beans.
You just add garlic and one slice of onion in a very hot pan with oil.
make the garlic and onion slice brown a little, then add the beans.. mix thoroughly then smash them on the pot with one of these squishing cooking utensils.

This one is baffling me.
Because a lot of things can be used for sexual innuendos (called Albures) in normal sentences.
And these vary from town to town or state by state.

Morning Figgy! xoxo Aside from the stupid divorce stuff, things are going very well! I'm still seeing the guy I told you about earlier. It's been a month now and I have to say I haven't had this much fun in soooo long. My best friend and co-workers have commented that we're acting like a couple of teenagers.

I'm trying to ketchup somewhat but I hope you and everyone else on this thread are doing well!

Hey @catmom! I'm glad to hear that things are going well with the new guy and that you are having fun! You deserve some fun. Any more news on your WDW trips or have you had to scrap those plans because of Mr. Donkey?

 

[betty rose]

Dinner tonight with no fire.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

I have had gator too, it wasn't bad. It was breaded and fried and did taste a bit like a chicken nugget but chewier.

Just like shark, kinda chewy.
