    I like eating grits with butter and a little bit of sugar.

    I do lots of butter and a touch maple syrup

    I think brown sugar would be better.

    Or how about how they do in South Carolina... grits and shrimp. That was on every menu at every restaurant I went to when I was down there for work.

    This is not exclusive to SC; it's a southern tradition for any coastal area in the south. One of my favorites.

    I only saw it in SC. But that's good to know. I've never seen it on the menu in the Outer Banks.

    What. What what?

    This mystery might be better than who tried to take me out!
    Secret service? Helicopter division?

    I don't think we can talk about Apache here....

    this triggers me.

    Watch for microwaved mustard tortillias!

    you don't know what you're missing out on. you haven't even *lived*

    I'm certainly not judging you. I grew up on a farm in SC; grits for breakfast was a staple. My grandmother served them with your choice of butter and ketchup or mustard and pepper.

    So I encourage you on your quest for triggered nostaglia.

    I love grits and butter (I grew up in Texas). I can't say I ever put ketchup or mustard on them.

    The best way to eat grits is to load your plate or bowl up with grits, butter and cheese then walk to the garbage can and dump them out. Throw the bowl away too.

    That was the most sacrilegious thing I have seen written here, well except for someone saying they eat TURKEY bacon. That is really just turkey for the uninformed.

    How dare you, sir? Turkey bacon is delicious. No newdz for you!

    It is still just turkey.... now send me some newdz lol.

    @briansolomon7863 I have even seen them served with jam, jelly and preserves.

    Hmmmm, that doesn't sound half bad. But probably not as good and regular grits and butter -- comfort food.

    I worry about dementia and Alzheimer's. Had to take an additional training course for work about that subject and it is just heartbreaking.
    I confess my dad has dementia. It's really heart breaking. It hurts when he can't remember who I am.

    sometimes I just go along with whoever he thinks I am that day because it seems to make him happy.

    A spare heart. <3

    Yes keeping things positive and stress free and non argumentative is a good way to approach that type of thing.

    Thats very true. :) Plus another spare heart. <3

    I confess I don't think I can handle any more emotional pain. I am well past what I thought was my breaking point. I just want to disappear for a while.

    You'd be amazed at just how much "more" you could actually take.

    Hmmm, I consider cute about a 5.5, but to me, handsome is more like 7.5-8.5. Perhaps how a person uses it depends on if someone uses it as a name, just as "baby" or "sweetie", or if someone is genuinely complimenting you.

    I confess I despise being called "handsome".
    Like nails up and down a chalk board. I have always considered it a "you're cute" comment. Like "hey you're a 5.5-6.5-ish but there are better options out there."

    To further compound my spite for this label the first time I let a woman call me this openly she broke my heart into a million pieces.

    So now every time someone calls me that it reminds me of her and reopens a wound.

    The end.

    Well *kitten*....how's stud muffin work for ya.. :#

    Yup. Always cute or handsome. Never hot or holy *kitten*. I hear ya loud and clear brother.

    I always say good-looking or handsome or "you look great" as a compliment
    I would never call anyone hot or hot as fork or sexy unless they were a celebrity or stranger or, or someone I know (but behind their back, lol) or my significant other 'cause I wouldn't want them to feel sexually objectified...I'd wouldn't want offend them or make it awkward

    I confess I am hooked on a podcast geared towards men, but it has some fascinating topics and great guests.

    Oh, sad sad. Telling someone they look handsome is one of my favorite compliments to give men (whom I have the right rapport with). I don't think it's on the same level as "cute". Cute is for boys, handsome is for men.

    Hearing handsome = "You're good looking for a not hot guy."

    Ducky was handsome.
