    Why are bread and butter pickles named bread and butter pickles?

    Pickle sandwiches were a thing back in the Depression days. I'm not that old, but we were so poor, I thought sugar sandwiches (bread, butter, table sugar) were actual candy, until I began going to school. We also ate mayo sandwiches in harder times. Makes ya appreciate a pickle. :smile:

    We often had sugar water - ingredients - sugar and water ... I wouldn't change a thing about the way I grew up. ... I have also enjoyed a bread, butter, sugar, sandwich....

    Yep, and on special occasions a sprinkle of cinnamon to spice it up.

    Oooh... a rich kid.

    Breaking my back completely overhauling an overgrown landscape.....broken back is worth it 😁

    So if I pay your airfare.......?
    I wish we had access to someone with your skills in our area. :(
    That looks amazing!!

    To be honest im not extraordinarily talented, i just work really hard and find a way to get things done to a certain degree of competency that i can live with. I enjoy it so a 20 hr day can go by like a fladh for me when im focused on something.

    I’ll still work for you, but I require a 4 day work week, 2 hour lunches, and a massage expense budget with no questions asked.

    Good luck with negotiating your benefit package, @Deadman_Diggingup. You'll need it. I'm rooting for you 🤣

    Nah - our homie from the city is a nice guy - always willing to take care of The help

    If there's only one thing for me to understand about @Revolu7 it's that he's diligent (see irrefutable proof in pics above). Ok, and that he's nice too. So two things 😉

    Still, my bet is there's not enough nice in the galaxy to get @Deadman_Diggingup's request fulfilled. Don't worry, I'm still rooting for you, friend; as meager as the odds are.

    Wait, unless we consider wormholes to alternate universes (...walks off, nerdily, to ponder the possibilities...) 🤔

    You know I have been recently pondering the existence of a multiverse, arriving at this question...

    Due to the nature of cause and effect... If the same exact big bang happened an infinite number of times, wouldn't the results be the same every time...

    I guess the only way around this is to suggest that every single possibility had its own unique origin... But then are they even multiple possibilities, or just different things entirely and different possibilities are really just an illusion 🤷🏽‍♂️...

    Good bye mind, although it does not take much for me to lose it 😂...

    REALLY getting tired of getting yelled at for things that were beyond my control. I didn't know part of my job description was to be psychic.

    Dude Max is my favorite science nerdy guy ever...

    I saw him debating this other guy on a World Science Festival panel... It was very interesting...

    Max was basically arguing that probability is an illusion and all of these different "probabilities" exist as other worlds...

    The other guy argued that we don't need this interpretation to settle the science and can just accept the nature of probability in our world...

    He's got a point but Max may ultimately be some sort of right 🤷🏽‍♂️

    It's certainly fascinating material. One of the guys who discovered calculus, Leibniz, was arguing for many other worlds a long time ago. He was looking at it from a perspective of morality and theology, though. He was trying to argue that we live in the best possible world, which is the explanation of why evil exists (at all).

    Themes like that show up even in the Matrix movie. The AI agent explained that people couldn't survive in a "more perfect world".

    It's interesting to think about...whether you would actually like to inhabit one of these other possible worlds even if given the choice.

    Me, too. I also have accepted requests & they just disappear into the ethers & are not added as friends.

    Now 1/2-dozen peeps think I don't like them & I can't recall who sent them, cuz... I'm getting old. :(

    No one's accepted my friend request either... I hope site glitch is the reason why, so I don't have to cry myself to sleep... again.

    Yeah, I definitely think something hinky is going on. It doesn't happen with every request but the odd one here and there.
    I've not seen that before.. adding someone and they're not added to the list ( or I don't think its happened to me) 🤔
    Don't cry 🤗 Im sure its just mfp glitchin

    :smile: I thought it was just me. Everything computer-wise has been hinky for me for the past few days... 'net connection isn't good so I'm disconnected 20-times/day, my brand new computer crashed about 10-times in 2-days, can't reach sites for awhile, then hangs, so I have to reboot & begin again. I haven't had so many issues since I had a 486 desktop, back in the dark ages.

    I chalk it up to Mercury Retrograde, which just ended. Or, that voodoo curse from my least fave cousin.

    So if I pay your airfare.......?
    I wish we had access to someone with your skills in our area. :(
    That looks amazing!!

    To be honest im not extraordinarily talented, i just work really hard and find a way to get things done to a certain degree of competency that i can live with. I enjoy it so a 20 hr day can go by like a fladh for me when im focused on something.

    I’ll still work for you, but I require a 4 day work week, 2 hour lunches, and a massage expense budget with no questions asked.

    Hey, to have you on the job, sounds like a bargain to me. Of course it seems we may be working shirtless at some of the clients requests, hope thats ok 😉

    I make the mistake of checking the news before coming here. Or maybe that's why I always do that in that specific order. Read the news and get depressed. Then come here for the uplifting.

    Apparently someone made a fake profile pretending to be me last night. This is not okay MFP. I feel violated. This place doesn't feel safe to me anymore. I've done nothing wrong to anyone to be targeted this way.

    😏 I believe you, many wouldn’t .

    Seriously though, it’s not good, why would someone do that? Weirdos

    I miss Queens New York,

    The block parties during the summer and music blasting all day and night. So live.

    And cars beeping at me cause I don’t drive the exact second the light turns green. And people kissing their teeth at me cause I don’t walk fast enough for them, with my chill Canadian *kitten*.

    I’m not being sarcastic. I really love it.
