Jim’s Cafe 26th of June, 2021 (Early bird version)

Baywasp · Jun 25, 2021

Yeah, we had a lot of those. I didn't really play in most of the games and therefore didn't get injured much. The worst that happened to me was some kind of muscle strain that I got during warmups when we were tossing the ball back and forth to each other in my second or third week ever. I dropped the ball and went to chase after it and somehow hurt my calf when turning. It was really unfortunate, and I felt stupid getting injured that way instead of in a big tackle or something else a little more badass.

Yeah, Kitboga is a gem. He manages to keep a positive outlook and bring light to everything he does. Here's a funny video he put out a while ago.

FlamingoWrangler said:

Yeah, that's true. I'll have to try and figure something else out.

@Holding my breath
Being to small to have molars? I feel ginormous imagining that. Petite & precious, thats our holding.
i love us stomach sleepers- pretty rare bread. @Witty⭐️Sarcasm ⭐️too.

@TIWIADIFI 🤣

@Bbear82 I love that you 🏳️‍⚧️ Disney is always magical. And Alcatraz is amazing. A 15 yo crashing with you gets to be the bed hog. Those times go away too fast. I will be looking forward to the pulled pork.

FlamingoWrangler · Jun 25, 2021

@Sunspots
Oh! Thats the Union Jack! I didn't look it up yet. I enjoy the flags, but associating them with a story makes it more interesting to me. Greece seems like a beautiful place. And EU!
i made tabouli last night. A yummy greek treat. I never make rice pudding, but always get it if it available at a greek place near us. The climate in Greece might make for easier gardening.

FlamingoWrangler · Jun 25, 2021

@Livelife
😂
Speaking of eating a whole loaf of buttered bread. I am all carb bloated from buying bagels the last week. Its amazing just how angry my body is about having a bread product every day.

@Baywasp You‘ll always be my favorite badass rugby player! I promise.
i love the link. Too funny. Still listening.
You’ve been busy with your studies. Now its time to take care of your health again.

@Dinolaur
I am not sure exactly what i meant. All interprations accepted. Even with pulling. But I was kind of curious about the use of homeopatic—ish techniques used by people here. Pulling is putting a spoonful of oil (coconut) in your mouth before eating/drinking, for 20 min the idea is to pull toxins & bacterias from you. You spit out the oil & toxins.
shepards pie is good. That might be something I need to make. I have been on a quest for comfort.
10 hour flight is still worth it to go to Disney. And we have another front sleeper! Dan isn’t a bed hog-He's just trying to cuddle. 😂🤣

Oh yeah, it's like deja vu, can be cool at times. I went to the Dells when I was 13 but would like to go back again sometime.
Tacos are always a good food to bring along

And I don't use a Cpap, they were supposed to give me one but never placed an order and never got back to me on it, so I kinda gave up on that idea.

dandelions · Jun 25, 2021

Floss? yes

Mouthwash? nope

Pulling? funny you should mention this because people have often told me that getting information out of me is like pulling teeth. 🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷

other…. on the other hand getting teeth out of me is like… wait, 😩

It's often called Vesak in English (the UN uses this variant), though I think it was celebrated somewhere between 19th or 26th May this year. It's more quieter this year in my city.

Well, everyday is just the same for me.

Phlags
- The flag of my country: 🇻🇳 (Vietnam).
- The favorite flag: Japanese prefectures' flag. They are very well-designed.
- I don't fly flags.

Ural Cares
- Colorful toothbrush, but mostly white.
- 3 months or so / replacement.
- Do you mean brushing the teeth or visiting a dentist? Well, I brush twice a day.
- More like a-minute brush, but I don't know.
- Floss? Not much.
- Mouthwash? I mostly use water for this.
- Pulling? Back when I was younger.

Schveets
- Like chocolate pudding? Yes.
- Surprisingly, there is this dessert in my country, made with gelatinous milk. It is served with various toppings and ice, and is considered a pudding.
- Favorite ice cream? Matcha & red beans
- Favorite dessert? Gelatinous matcha latte with honey and tapioca for toppings.
- Favorite candy? - Salted lemon candy

Phuud
- I enjoy making stir-fry noodle or macaroni with a well-done omelet.
- Tea or coffee, if meet-up is legal again.
- Favorite food to order? Pizza
- Best comfort food? Instant ramen noddle, but I stir-fry it.
- Favorite breakfast? Rice with various stuffs I don't know hot to call in English.
- I hate smelly food, but I'm fine with fish sauce and durian.
- There is a pot of coriander in my house.

Vakationen
- I once travelled to a mountainous city in my country, where the climate is colder and windier. It's called Da Lat, look it up online if you want to travel to Vietnam.
- I want to travel to places that are cold, slightly snowy or slightly windy. So yeah, winter wonderlands.
- My last vacation was that trip to Da Lat, because then the pandemic.
- How did I get to Da Lat? Bus-like vehicle, tourist bus, tourist car. I don't know how to call it.
- Bucket list destinations? The Alps, Scandinavia, Canada's northern islands, Alaska, Iceland, South Himalaya, Bhutan, Mongolia, etc. You can clearly see the pattern.

I don't listen to any podcast, so no comment on those questions.

Slumbering
- No favorite sleeping position.
- Some people said that I snore.
- I think just one layer of something spongy between me and the hard wooden planks of the bed is good enough.
- Fan? I don't think there is anyone likes me that much, but I have electrical fans.
- TV? Yes, I have one.
- I make my bed, not really thoroughly though.
- I have 2 pillows.
- I've never done any pillow fight.
- I'm not a bed hog, according to others.

for dots I mentioned in a recent café a favorite game was dots. sadly, I've always felt the dance polka was specifically Invented to annoy me. this is not meant to offend the Strausses or others, but may - as I'm just realizing atm - it may stem from what might be a bit of real trauma when I was 4. but the only time I ever danced in public still to this day floods me with the worst feelings of shame. sorry, this comment is quite un cafély. I must have left the mental door open after leaving group therapy yesterday.

FlamingoWrangler said:

what kind do I make? well, what kind do you like? 🍣😊

FlamingoWrangler said:

sometime soon I'm gunna use grape nuts as a foundation for the bottom of a cheese cake (which is a major favorite I think I neglected to mention.

I noticed that I didn't notice the apnea related questions. I think I'd best address these issues now...

7. Sleep
favorite sleeping position? if i sleep this way that part hurts. if i sleep that way, this part hurts. if i sleep another way… well, get the picture? sleep does occur when i’m standing on a subway train. its novel i suppose but still not quite a favorite…
snore? who? me or my wife?
top sheet? crumpled at my feet mostly or first choice over a blanket - hey thats not on top of btw, blankets are too hot and heavy so i rarely use…
fan? yup, when its hot, but not too hot that it requires ac.
TV? nope, unless you consider that at the dinner table after the meal and its on, i begin to drift away
do you make your bed? i am always very diligent in making sure that i alway do make my bed… a mess.
how many pillows? in college i did a project to creat some kind of product (maybe a game) called too many pillows. followingly (sorta) that is how many i now use all the time in a futile effort to find that elusive favorite sleeping postion.
ever pillow fight? see above. i said “futile effort to find that elusive favorite sleeping postion” thats a fight isn’t it?
are you a bed hog? i generally get marginalized in bed.
other i’m not sure you want to know.

now getting back to the apnea (and reflux too) i was diagnosed and that is why i was kicked out of the sleep study for falling asleep all day and narcolepsy and the like. but if you see my issues with favorite sleeping positions and pillows and sheet, you can probably figure out that gadgets, tubes and white noise collecting in my lungs would not help me sleep. … or is that called white dust? reflux is a similar issue. and it only occurs in spite of the pillows when my brain is not able to get me out of bed.

this guy has issues!!!🤔 - might be the earth environment 👽. no offence guys. i do actually love it here on this ornery planet. the park, the nature, the music and everyone here on SF…😊🌞🌞🌞
