Megan Gray4 said:So how'd you manage with that stinking black widow😁
Good Lord, Keith Ward2 is getting impatient...🤣
It's always some kind of drama with you. The absolute classic is when you sneak back to bed after a "bathroom break" with your girlfriend🤣
you're gonna pay for that😁..now everything is just going to turn into a three-way conversation about your girlfriend, no matter what the actual topic is...
I really gotta go all out for this challenge... because who knows how long this thing is gonna drag on, lord help me, I might not even make it to the end hahaha... okay, obviously I'll make it... just adding a little drama so you guys see how intense these fifteen days are gonna be hahaha
Megan Gray4 said:Maybe someone could ask Ruby to teach oneandonly how to actually upload a photo correctly 😁
Aco, I am just dying to see what you come up with next... why limit us to one week of inspiration when we could be voting on multiple strikes at once? Let's get weird with it 🙂
ruby?? I saw her one single photo and it was sideways... so yeah, Ruby's gonna be the one educating me... hahaha
Drew Ross2 said:Anything goes, though I’m lowkey doubting I’ll pull off more than one 😳 Better than nothing, I guess... 😁
I mean, two out of 28.5 beats one out of 57, lol... anything is possible... I'm just gonna do my own thing anyway... aiming for a 3-in-1 this time... if I actually knew how to edit photos, I'd probably go for a 4-in-1... just to be stubborn...😛
yeah... she’s basically gonna turn you all into functioning, mentally stable humans... meanwhile, I've only got one question on my mind... was there any weed? 😁
https://www.amazon.com/bundt-cake-pan/ Yeah, I know how to drop a link... though the one I’ve got at home is a Dr. Oetker pan, so it has those little side tabs to help seal everything better, but this one looks alright too...
Alright, let’s talk about making custard... since I claimed I could whip it up. Honestly, you're already halfway to failure if you don't have the right gear. You need a specific kind of heavy pot—think something like a Le Creuset Dutch oven—but it absolutely has to have a tight-fitting lid. I actually own two: one for a small batch using a pint of milk, and one for a full quart. For the quart version, grab 6 eggs, 6 tablespoons of sugar, a dash of vanilla, and some lemon zest... nothing else, though a splash of rum wouldn't hurt. For that caramelized glaze, just hit it with 6 tablespoons of sugar... pour it into the pot so it covers the bottom evenly, then pour in the mixture. And make sure you SEAL that lid. SEAL IT. Now, why should anyone bother hunting down this specific pot? Because you’re going to be using a bain-marie setup, sitting the pot in a larger vessel filled halfway with water—maybe a bit more. You come to the forum, act all sophisticated, while the custard simmers away. You can't mess this up, but it takes patience; it might take 50 minutes, it might take an hour, maybe even an hour and five... just make sure you don't let the water boil dry. Basically, the right pot and this forum are the real secrets to perfect custard. As for a photo of the pot or the finished product, you're out of luck because I haven't figured out how to upload images yet...
Shrimp are just... everything. My old hustle was hitting the docks at 6 AM, grabbing a few crates $50 then flipping them for $300 a pop. I’d move five crates by 9 AM and head straight back to bed, sleeping like a baby with a hundred bucks in my pocket... greed is a killer, honestly. Anyone want more recipes? 😁
I guess I’ll spin some epic love story regardless of what we’re talking about... but let's go with my vibe: colors, light, sex, and whatever else managed to pull a smile out of me, haha...
man, what a joke, still nothing... feels like the folks over at the office are still playing nice... except for when they start a thread, and even then they get some little award for it😁..(just start a poll... who's gonna stop you?)..the fact that I let myself go a bit more is literally written in the rules..what's allowed here isn't allowed for driftingmarlin44 or Volo... mostly because I've got cancer and this thread keeps me going, so seeing me happy makes you guys happy too, right? hahaha..I don't care if two high-brow academics gave me their votes..they were just messing around because they knew those votes wouldn't change a damn thing... maybe the reward is actually a punishment, because there's no way anyone would take on the challenge of running a poll if it meant I might actually win, and nobody wants that responsibility instead of me, so we could always consider having the previous winner pass the topic selection down to whoever is next in line based on points that never actually count as a win... assuming they even agree to it... though it's the same rule for me anyway hahaha

I already gave you my answer over coffee... I get why you see love from where you're standing since you don't really know the full story... and honestly, half the other people don't either lol... if you look past all the drama, there's a bit of resentment showing through... and it’s way too easy to mistake that for love when it's being kept under wraps... as long as I'm leaving my mark, I guess that's all that matters... if only I were just one person... haha...
Drew Ross2... lovely... kisses for mommy and the baby... but Louise played it safe this time, if you ask me—kind of low rent... she went straight for the heart and soul of the simple, naive folks on this forum... so whatever... Ruby... gorgeous... but my girl Ruby was aiming right for the kidneys of the gullible users in the comments... we all know that was just a little provocation to get me to "notice" her here again... but eh... zero points. She’s already won enough, and for Megan Gray4, every new challenge is just another personal victory anyway... Sarah Mendoza22 is definitely losing her voice... first prize from the audience and a special jury award: a sculpture of a clicking eagle crafted from famous high-quality German steel—super pure, or *der rostfrei* as they say—though this one doesn't have a butt, just a tail and a casting error... mounted on a massive coastal rock pedestal made of legendary Greek marble—*Nuder Vlaschkenschön* as the Germans call it... goooooo... stormygardener93... for your incredible contribution to the topic... since both awards look identical (same casting error), you can gift one to anyone on the blond vs. brunette debate thread... Happy Easter to everyone..
Megan Gray4 said:Just use a glass, stop planting orange seeds everywhere...😂
Where’d that dandelion disappear to? We're basically rolling out the red carpet for him, but his photos are nowhere to be found...😂 And Louise is just sitting there waiting with the survey🥳
right? even Sarah Mendoza22 signed up, so we can just ask her which two internal organs he's actually missing😁
driftingmarlin44,driftingmarlin44,driftingmarlin44...just some quick updates to the weekly challenge rules:
1.you can only post two or more entries if you’re missing at least two internal organs (lol) 2.whatever is allowed on this thread doesn't apply to driftingmarlin44 or a bull... 3.any other rule changes can only be discussed by Megan Gray4 (who absolutely has to have Grace Sanders24 by her side), hiddenmarlin14, Drew Ross2, and unfortunately Maria Wright62
Calling all creators and anyone thinking about picking up a camera—it’s time for our Weekly Challenge. The theme is Valentine's Day, so whether it's photography, poetry, or just whatever vibe you want to throw at us, show us what you've got... You've got until Friday, Feb 19th at 11:59 PM to get your entries in before we drop the poll and start voting, which runs through Sunday, Feb 21st at 8:00 PM.
The rules are pretty straightforward. One entry per person, one vote per person. The winner gets to pick next week's topic.
Sending good vibes and hoping you guys find some actual inspiration out there...
Mod edit: Feel free to comment, but please don't turn this into a massive chat thread so we can actually see the entries. Thanks, Boo.
Life’s pretty damn boring if you aren't taking risks or getting a little dramatic once in a while... What does it even mean to just check out when your side piece can hit you up on a chat app at any hour of the night... while her actual man is right there texting her, showering, or passed out next to her... and then you see that glow from her phone screen lighting up her face like a neon sign in Times Square, those eyes shining bright... nothing happens, or even when you're stuck sitting at a red light... absolutely nothing, like you never even left... Miracles don't just drop out of the sky every day, and honestly, I've had my fill of them for this season... sure, there are plenty of young ladies and "miracle workers" floating around this forum or all over the web, but there was one true legend. One of a kind. The absolute best thing to ever grace these message boards, and she was always right by his side... I don't really have any advice for you... just don't let some married guy from a forum mess with your head, and if someone sends you a photo and they aren't your type, just ghost them immediately... Thanks for being a small part of my world... catch ya later... I sound like I'm on my deathbed lol... I'm fine... it's just that you guys have finally pushed me to my limit...
