    I remember the first time my Dad ate boiled okra, when asked if he liked it he said:  "It's OK, but I have to remember to cross my legs when I swallow so's not to lose it!"

    The Wife and I love okra, the kids not at all.  Your idea for okra lube reminds me of the Grace and Frankie TV show where Frankie is making lube from yams.  

    I like gumbo with okra in it, but my MIL hates okra so I never get it, but I can't complain when someone is shelling out their time and money to make a homemade seafood gumbo.  I keep trying to explain to her that the dictionary definition of gumbo is okra, but she's not buying it.

    I'm so lost. 
    I have no idea what okra is.
    Asked the wife, cause she's a cook and all she said was, "You won't eat is, so don't think about it."

    So I'm still lost. LOL!

    The okra pieces in those vegetable chips are tasty and no slime

    Now I'm looking at grilled okra recipes and one where you wrap it in bacon and smoke 'em. Sounds good, I'll have to try it out.

    Doesn't the bacon make them hard to light??    :p

    And I haven't even been down there yet, today.

    I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot.  I will smoke anything, though.

    When men have their wives call in for parts. 
    Wife: my husband ,boyfriend needs a battery for his motorcycle.
    me: what kind of bike does he have?
    wife: I don't know, hold on, yells trying to cover the phone, hey what kind of bike do you have? In the background you hear Yamaha and she says Yamaha 
    Me: What year and model?
    wife: I don't know.
    me: anyway you could put him on the phone since he is right there?
    wife: that would make sense wouldn't it.
    Me: Yea, happens all the time.

    btw,  I have a motorcycle dealership for sale if anyone is interested!

    I HATE Stink bugs. Here in Jersey they must be making their final onslaught before winter comes. I just went out to open the patio umbrella and there must of been 50 inside, plus they are on the doors and windows trying to get in the house.

    They used to be horrible at this time of year back in Delaware. You gotta retire up here towards the Poconos @Sleddog46. No stink bugs...just the occasional bigfoot.

    I hate Fakebook, Tweaker, MSN and all the websites that put 100 ads on one page and make you click 100 times to read a 4 paragraph article.
    I could be wrong about Fakebook or Tweaker, but MSN and just about every other website is going that direction.
    They are starting to put their articles on 10 pages, so have to click through a crap load of pages to read the article. It's very annoying.
    Even newspapers are starting to do it.

    I hate trying to use search engines that fill the first 3 pages with "sponsors" and trying to figure out the right combination of words to actually get to pages that are relevant.

    I was trying to find replacement seat assemblies for my SS.
    Should be a simple thing.
    Enter "2005 Silverado front seats".

    The first 3 pages don't even come close to being relevant, the next 30 pages are for a mix of crap and seat covers.

    Ok, try again. Enter "2005 Silverado front seats -covers". 
    Same results. 

    Although, I did manage to find a couple places that have replacement seats, the combinations of entering stuff in the search is kind of a pain.

    I remember a time when you entered "Chevy truck seats" and the results were actually what you were looking for.

    Google, Yahoo and all of them have sold out. They are no longer search engines, but sales machines.

    The people in line behind you (ex. Walmart) that get all up on the card reader or in front of it when you're trying to pay.

    I hate that @Sleddog46 cursed our valley. This is the first stink bug I've ever seen up here.

    ^Sounds like y'all need to to exterminate! I hate bugs, mosquitoes mostly. Almost all of these products should do the job quite effectively. Get em before they multiply!!!

    Aah!  THAT explains it!!  My wife tried to use that to get me a box of San Cristobal.  Good woman, she bought it anyway.  :)

    I hate that people who are losing their hearing never admit that it's their hearing that's the problem.

    No, it's not their hearing, it's just that nowadays everyone mumbles.

    You know, when folks get older and their eyesight fails, they don't accuse everyone of getting fuzzy-looking, they get glasses.

    "um, hon', you know you always turn the TV volume up to 38 or so, and I like it just fine at 9.  Maybe it's your hearing?"

    "No, there's something wrong with the speakers, they sound fuzzy".

    Must be because she was a Tank Gunner once upon a time.  

    Oh, wait, that was me.  :*

    What about those of us who admit our poor hearing and ask people to speak up? Or at least speak in our direction? My wonderful, perfect in almost every way wife, has a rather irritating habit of starting a sentence and midway through, physically turning around and starting to walk away while still talking. What's a deaf guy supposed to do with that?

    Mine still talks from the other room and knows I have no idea what she is saying.

    When mine began losing her hearing she’d always ask you to repeat what you said. After a while that became a habit. So now, when she has megabucks hearing aids that I can control the volume from an app on my iPhone so I know she can hear me, she still asks me to repeat everything I fvcking say. That drives me right up the fvcking wall..... AAaarrgghh!!
