Before I answer your question, have you considered your neighbor was simply guaranteeing the rain to fall? When my wife wants it to rain at our house, my son washes his car, which is a guaranteed way to ensure it rains on his nicely waxed car. Watering his lawn may be your neighbor's version of the same logic. And since it worked, was he really making a poor decision after all?
Now, you ask who is the dumbest person I know. According to Webster's, a person who is dumb cannot speak. So the dumbest person I know is my coworker's infant daughter. The entire time meeting her, she didn't say a single word. Not one.
My favorite candy is Reese's Pieces. I can go months without eating it, not even think about it, but then one day I'll get a random craving and BAM, I consume three helpings at once. Why is that?0 -
@nossmf I LOVE Reese's Pieces. I think the "three helpings at once" thing is because they are delicious, and tiny--so over-indulging on them can sneak up on you. Also, because the peanut-buttery part makes you thirsty, but the candy-shell part stimulates saliva-production, so it's more "comfortable" for your mouth to eat more than it is to stop eating them. So if you wanna break the cycle, drink water while you're eating them, and then pop in some gum. As for why you can go months without eating them, it's because your brain thinks they JUST taste like peanut butter, and you're like, "I know what peanut butter tastes like, I don't need Reese's Pieces," and you forget how much you like them. (Actually, that all sounds pretty plausible, so I'm not sure if that really qualifies as "wrong answers only.)
My question is: The state flower of Maine is a pinecone. A freakin' pinecone. And Maryland has an official state cat--which is the calico, because "it looks like the Maryland state flag, in cat form." What are some other ridiculous Official State Whatevers?0 -
Reese's Pieces is actually a required nutrient for many of us whose genetic code was modified when we saw the movie "E.T." for the first time. So you can't go entirely without it. The best thing to do is get one of those dog food dispensers, and fill it with Reese's Pieces that get dispensed at a reasonable rate. That way your body gets the necessary nutrient and eases the craving, and you don't pig out when your body gets desperate.
There is entirely too much food shown in TV and movies, that makes us fitness people want to overeat, or eat the wrong things. I'm working on some new A.I. image filtering and modification glasses that will change the food scenes to something disgusting so you won't want to eat anything for several hours afterwards. I'm looking for other marketing opportunities that can be pursued with minor modifications to the software. What other things need to be filtered out to help us live better and happier lives?1 -

How about Delaware proclaiming itself the Official First State to Ratify the Constitution? What's up with that? Is it a race? Did you win a prize for being first? This hyper-competitive nature just serves to divide the country into two factions: those who insist on being first, and those who actually understand what the word "ratify" means. Can't we all just get along? Shouldn't all the states which ratified the Constitution get a participation trophy and go home to have ice cream without bragging they are somehow better than all the others? Shame, shame.What other things need to be filtered out to help us live better and happier lives?
My first two thoughts were to filter out politicians and social media, but that's too obvious an answer. So now I'm thinking I could use a filter in my dreams. Before bed I select the filter version I want for that night, and presto, every dream that night will have one of two results: either the dream passes the filter, or else you see nothing but a big red X with a clock counting down the seconds for the current dream to end and the next to begin. Possible filter settings may include:
Must include chocolate
Must NOT include Christmas music
No math tests, unless the teacher is Mr/Mrs (fill in name here)

The Golden Rule teaches to treat others as you would have them treat you. Sounds like a way to be good. Meanwhile, the Bible teaches "the love of money is the root of all evil." But if gold is money, and money is evil, then the golden rule is evil. (Morality can be so confusing.) What other sayings seem like good advice on the surface, but are actually very confusing or even mean the opposite when you dig deeper?0 -
"A stitch in time saves nine" is very confusing when you don't do any sewing
"look before you leap" is very confusing if you don't do any leaping
"Kill 2 birds with one stone" is very confusing - why would you want to kill any birds??
"Its a piece of cake" is very confusing when the thing is obviously not a cake, piece or otherwise
"to spill the beans' is very confusing - why would you want to spill anything, beans or anything else?
'to let the cat out of the bag" is very confusing - why would a cat be in a bag in the first place?
"to break the ice" is very confusing - why would you want to be breaking up ice at a party? and doesnt ice already come in cube size pieces anyway?
Can you tell paperpudding is getting bored in covid isolation??

That's because you didn't listen and engage in my plan A!
Just sayin'! 🤷🏼♀️😋
Why is it so hard to forgive and not hold a grudge? I really struggle with this and feel guilt as well as condemnation as I've always heard that one must forgive to be forgiven. Are there exceptions to this rule and are there people who just aren't worthy of forgiveness? I know what God would say and expects, however I just have no forgiveness in my heart for a few. 😞0 -
Contrary to popular belief, grudges are not about whether or not you have forgiven somebody; it's about whether or not you remember the incident. All these infomercials advertising products to enhance memory have really caused a society where we remember the least insults. If we didn't remember the insult, we'd have no reason to hold a grudge in the first place. So the lesson here is that you need to learn the proper methods of forgetting. There are a few out there, such as drinking or hitting your head repeatedly against a wall, but I prefer using the high school method. Honestly, how much of what you learned in high school do you remember to this day? For most people, precious little. So the next time some memory bubbles to the surface, causing you to start to feel grudging towards another, try to recall a few lessons from your least favorite high school class. Perhaps you can try to recite your multiplication tables, or list the periodic table of elements in order, or break down a billboard advertisement into its component nouns, verbs, adverbs, etc. Soon you'll become frustrated enough to throw your hands into the air and move on, all while having forgotten what it was you had remembered to become angry about!
My wife and I are going to see a movie tonight, which is a sequel of a movie made thirty-six years ago. With few exceptions, most sequels are not as good as the original, while a third movie typically is back to being good. Why is that?1 -
Because you shouldn't mess with what's already a good thing. Especially remaking it with sub par actors who really just insult the originals with their attempts to live up to the original cast and performance.
Like Dumb & Dumberer... you can't fill the shoes of such talented actors like Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels (??) I think that's right 🤔🤪
Am I the only one who really loves all Tom Cruise movies and Angelina Jolie movies but really don't care for the real people they are, only who they portray to be in their films?
Also, how is it that I've never seen nor was ever interested in watching Top Gun in the 80s or ever for that matter?
0 -
Yes, you are the only one. Everyone else in the world hates their movies but loves the people they are. Also, I can only guess that although you love all Tom Cruise movies, you didn't realize he was in Top Gun... otherwise you would've run to the theater to see it.
I was going to stop at the grocery store on my way home from the airport yesterday, but when I was about a mile away, it started raining really hard. There was no way I was getting out of the car in that downpour, so I skipped the grocery store and went home.Now, I"ll have to stop on my way home from work today. You'd think I would just keep an umbrella in my car, right? Why do I never seem to have an umbrella when I need one?0 -
Avocado Smoothy
If you love that; what is your favorite cuisine?0 -
The Lean kind of course!
Lean cuisine 🤪
The weather is so crazy these days. How can we celebrate Memorial Day weekend with snow on the ground?0 -
@BeYourBestSelfDeb - the idea is to answer the previous question and then pose your own.
although perhaps I misunderstood and avacado smoothie was the answer to cmsienks' dilemma
cmsiek, to expand on that - the answer is because you have limited space in your glove box and boot (I think you in US call the car boot something else though?? - serious question) and by the time you have packed your fashionable bonnet for any occasions where it might be required and also enough avocados and a food processor to make your own smoothies wherever you are, there is no space left for umbrellas.
Next answer: given I do not love avocado smoothies this is based on a false premise.
However if I did, I'm sure other favourite cuisine would be raw kale, onion sandwiches, crumbed brains, diced liver...
It is a good idea to take a portable food processor, as mentioned above, to wherever one may go, along with some emergency food supplies, perhaps those listed in my favourites above.
That way if you go out to dinner and something boring like steak and chips or baked salmon or vegetable lasagne are on the menu - you have your own alternative and can whip up an avocado, garlic, kale, liver smoothie on the spot!
Problem: food processors are quite noisy. How do you disguise the noise whilst you discreetly prepare said alternative meal?1 -
@paperpudding, the first answer you're looking for is 'trunk'.
Now, the best way to disguise a noisy food processor is to invite the members of a marching band to accompany you out to dinner. Not only will their lively music entertain your guests (and all the other guests in the restaurant), the mere sight of between 20 and 300 musicians (depending upon the size of the high school in your home town) gathered to entertain may be distraction enough.
What was your first job out of high school?
0 -
CEO of one of the world’s largest banks. I decided it wasn’t the right fit for me so I left it for hospitality.
What is your first memory?0 -
My first memory is seeing the Mona Lisa in the louvre. It was so eerie, how the eyes follow you no matter where your mother carries you.
Do you have lots of shoes?0 -
Nope. No shoes here at all. On another thread, I recently responded that I go barefoot in my house. Truth is - I go barefoot everywhere. It's especially fun outside in January as well as in airports and on airplanes - the floors of which look like they are seldom, if ever, cleaned.
What do you like to collect?0 -
Polar bears.
real live ones. I steal the babies from the wild and have a collection of all ages in a converted shed in my back yard.
Very expensive as it never snows where I live (this part is true) and so I constantly have to get snow flown in and the electricity bill of keeping it cold enough is ginormous!
Just as well I really am the CEO of the worlds largest bank and have the income to do this
paperpudding that isnt just a wrong answer - it is an absolutely stupid answer
Is there a limit to how much stupidity should be tolerated on the internet?0 -

Anyway... This was my question passed above0 -
(Are avocado smoothies antimatter to umbrellas? 🤔)
My favorite cuisine is not of any particular culture or region, but rather are all things pickled and covered in mustard. A little horseradish and/or wasabi is an added treat. Monkey brains are good too, as well as most organs from domesticated mammal and fowl. Now, if I could only find a good recipe for gizzard ice cream.
What else goes good dipped or covered in chocolate?

Since the weekend is over and it is now Memorial Day, this answer comes a bit late, but nevertheless...
Can you remember a day in the past when there was snow on the ground on Memorial Day? How did you celebrate then? In any event...
The best way to celebrate Memorial Day (with or without snow) is by testing your memory. As best I can remember, that's what this day is all about. Several ways of doing this are:- recite the periodic table (for an extra challenge, include the atomic weights)
- recite Pi to 1,000 decimal places (for an extra challenge, compute it's square root)
- remember what you had for breakfast every day for the past year
- recall the date and place where you got each and every item in your refrigerator
What else goes good dipped or covered in chocolate (I mean besides monkey brains and gizzards)?
0 -
Pizza. Especially pizza with pineapple. Pizza with barbecue dipped in chocolate is also good. But my absolute favorite is cauliflower crust pizza with veggie toppings=broccoli, zucchini, spinach, kale,etc. dipped in white chocolate and drizzled with dark chocolate.
Since I just had surgery, I can’t take care of a garden, flower or vegetables. What do you suggest I do with my flowerbeds?0 -
I heartily recommend spreading flowered covered comforters over your flower beds and putting them to bed for the season. I know just where you can find an assortment of these beautiful bedspreads.I'm packing to go to London on Friday. Other than my passport, G- type power adaptors and my umbrella, what might I be forgetting to add to my suitcase?

Fill them entirely with bird seed. I know what you're thinking, this won't just attract birds but alot of other animals too. Good that's the plan. You'll become a Disney princess in no time. Then once you have the animals trust turn all of them but one back into flower beds and have the animals take care of your garden for you. Although through my very limited research I think this plan will only work as long as you can sing...
"That's common sense". Actually common sense is a learned ability, meaning you have the opportunity in life to build your judgment of common sense. However, the only way to do that is to basically live through life lessons and learn. And since we all view the world differently and take away different views from situations doesn't that mean "common sense" is subjective? So isn't it a matter of opinion when someone says "that's common sense"?0 -
It's certainly only a matter of opinion, but whose opinion matters the most? In my experience, it's my opinion that matters the most, because I'm always right and never wrong. I thought I made a mistake once in the last century, but I was mistaken in thinking that. Not sure whether that should or shouldn't count as having been wrong once.
Speaking of experience, as the philosopher/comedian Steven Wright has observed:
“Experience is something you don’t get until just after you need it.”
What can we do to rectify this problem?0 -

It seems like we're skipping over everyone these days. 🙄🤨😆
She can't fill her flower beds with birdseed because she's already tucked them in with beautiful, flowery comforters.
Could someone answer my question please as it's time sensitive? What might I be forgetting - specific to traveling to London?0 -
@cmsienk, common sense might have told me, had I used it, that @generic_excuse was answering @corinasue1143's question and not yours.
But to add to Cat's answer, I I would suggest taking a ton of old Beatles vinyl records. I bet the Brits aren't aware of this group so popular in the United States in the '60s. You could probably sell those records at a very handsome profit, The money which you could then spend seeing all the sites of London.
Who else has some ideas for @cmsienk?0 -
@cmsienk I swear I even refreshed. MFP is out to embarrass me. 😂 I apologize!0
