      Wait, those pies are fruit and not meat?? *facepalm*

      More info for you: Mincemeat usually DOES contain meat. It's a small amount but it's still in there.
      From the Nonesuch Mincemeat nutrition label (because I made Mincemeat cookies and still have half a jar of it in my fridge): Water, Corn Syrup, Raisins, Dried Apples, Molasses, Corn Starch Modified, Distilled Vinegar, Dried Citrus Peel, Salt, Spices, _BEEF_ , Bitters, Fruit Pectin.

      I need to make some more cookies.. mincemeat cookies are delicious!

      I did this. Only I had dark blue jeans. My hands were blue and from my symptoms my doctor thought I had some rare disease. Turns out I just needed to wash my hands and not dry them on my pants...whoops
      I have blue climbing shoes made of dyed, unlined leather that even years later, leak blue dye onto my feet when I climb.
      I find it funny to take off my shoes in front of a new climbing buddy and say "hm, I think my shoes might be a little tight..." and wait for the response.

      If I'm right it is Pangaea. Learned this from Kim Possible who says cartoon can't be educational.
      Pangaea most recently, and they had before been another one big land mass in a different configuration beforehand known as Rodinia.

      Also, a conversation I had when setting up my portable clothes dryer's vent hose to a window-insert so it'd vent outside:
      me: "Ugh, this [vent hose] isn't staying on right. Do you have tape or something? They should make stuff for this..."
      friend: "They do. It's called duct tape."
      me: *facepalm*
      Don't worry, you're still one up on your friend - duct tape actually isn't any good for ducts.

      I use to say 'second whim' instead of 'second wind'. I think I got this right.
      I used to say 'out of the frying pan and into the fryer' no one ever corrected me, so now I just say it fast so no one notices.

      Also I still don't now what NSV means on this website, enlighten me.

      At work I have some friends that use idioms incorrectly or use different words in places for example.

      NSV=non scale victory (eg wearing a smaller size pant, etc.)

      I always thought people were saying "old wise tails" not "old wive's tails". Only discovered that when I was about 25 :tongue:

      Not me, but my kids. When Neil Diamond's song was out, they sang "Reverend Bluejeans" instead of "forever in bluejeans". Still makes me laugh every time I think of it. ha ha

      It's not Reverend Bluejeans? Dang. This.

      When I was 20, I went to California alone, and the people I stayed with told me I could have gone to Mexico if I had my birth certificate; Up until that exact moment, I had NO idea that Mexico was actually connected to California. I got a "It's OK, you're pretty" badge that will last the rest of my life. :embarassed:

      "That "schnapps" and "cognac" were actually the names of different kinds of BOOZE - - not just the names of my pet dogs when i was little "

      We had a miniature german schnauzer named Schnapps too!

      When I was a teenager, I always thought marshmallows grew on trees. No joke! When I someone finally told me how marshmellows are MADE, I felt like a complete idiot!

      Apparently smiling is a really big deal, and it doesn't count if you don't show teeth.

      No more smile comments.
      Thanks. I'll admit, getting that comment several times a day over the span of a month and a half is a little grating, moreso when I get the same comment when I DO try to smile.
      I'm even getting PMs about it. Gofig. : P

      If it makes you feel any better - they used to be made out of plant juice. And there really is a plant called the marsh mallow.

      I guess this is something I feel dumb about, because I liked your smile picture and thought you would be encouraged to take a pic with a big cheesy grin. =\

      Lol really? I was told I looked 'unimpressed' and various other words with connotations holding the meanings 'sarcastic' and 'arrogant', and after continuing to get the 'smile' comments I sorta just said screw it. /shrugs/ Can't please everyone so I may as well be out to please myself! c:

      Nah, I just figured you didn't like your smile and felt uncomfortable smiling for pictures.

      As long as you are pleased. :)
