Jim's Cafe' Wed. Feb. 5, 2020

1) have you tried Nutella? Do you like it?
Nutella is pretty great. Haven't had it in a long time though. It's great on ice cream.

2) do you tune into the weather or just wing it, look out the windows? Have a favorite weather person?
The weather here is notoriously wrong! Today for instance, massive thunderstorms will roll in around 4pm. Oh, wait we meant 9am. I mean, close right? eh. Oh quick issue a flash flood warning!!! It's flash flooding RIGHT NOW. Yeah, so I don't watch the weather.

3) have you ever played, or have a fun memory of you in the rain?
I like a nice rain, not a downpour or thunder. I've played in the rain.

4) optional. If you could forgive someone, who would it be?
For the most part I don't hold onto shit. I forgive people, maybe too easily sometimes. Mostly need to forgive myself.

I'm very interested in this shower with a friend day ...

I'm sorry about your stepmom. I'm thinking it was stupid of me to ask this now, bringing up bad memories. I'm sorry @JMG and others . Feeling so angry right now, I'd like to get all those abusers into a room and.....

Ty @Lane I feel the same way about wanting to get all abusers in a room and do not very nice things to them. Hmm I guess that means I maybe haven't really forgiven my stepmom then if I can still say that and mean it. At least I don't "hate" her anymore. Don't worry though I try so hard not to think about it much but sometimes I think I try so hard that it makes me judge myself more harshly for what the reality is of certain things in my life right now so when I remember what I've been through (esp. some of the "worse" things) then it reminds me of how far I've come and the things I've survived which is actually kind of empowering and therefore not upsetting, bad or negative.

PS - Ty @Walker for the info about the cafe merging thing I didn't realize that, when I open this thread it shows it being opened by Jayjay. Lol about the Nutella explaining, I read your post & I think you explained it just fine
Also I pronounce it "NUT-ella" lol I kinda thought that's how everyone said it.

Good way to save water, ha.

Never tried on icecream, on list. Thanks @Nick

I'm smiling looking at the mangrove trees and roots....I was introduced to them on the beaches in Mexico a couple of years ago and think they are a spectacular plant

Agree and I like the wildlife that goes with them, minus the mosquitoes.

 

[Bbear82]

Do you walk your cat on a leash @Bbear?

Yes I used too

 

[Lane]

Yes I used too

thank you @Jayjay289 for opening the café and inviting me. I hope you get thae job because with your compassion I know that you will do a great job helping people...mike...

 

[1964dodge]

now for the questions

1. Nutella: yes I tried it and I hate it, sorry

2. weather: I usually check it out on my phone

3. rain: I rember getting caught in a boat in the rain. it was so bad I had to drive slow to get back to the dock, I hate rain

4. forgive: myself

and never showered with a friend but had to shower in a big open shower room with a bunch of boys when I was growing up and with men while I was in the navy , now talk about anxiety. but I did enjoy showering with the wife a few times when we were younger, enough said loland as foe weathermen I don't trust them. I remember years ago a weatherman said it would be sunny and if it snowed he would shovel everyones driveway. well it was a huge snowstorm and to his word he shoveled out a bunch of driveways for people that called him at the station lol...mike

Hello everyone
I’m early today

@Lane thanks for opening the cafe and I hope you are feeling better!

1) have you tried Nutella? Do you like
it?

Yes I did and I absolutely LOVE it! Nutella is the best*bleh
Wish I could eat it

2) do you tune into the weather or just wing it, look out the windows? Have a favorite weather person?

I love the winter! It’s really hot here and most of the time I am melting here so I am always waiting for the winter to come and to be able to look out the window and watch the rain or the thunderstorms above the sea

since others mentioned someone they WON'T forgive it will help me to mention my brother I haven't spoke to in 17 years. just to mention a few things: he used his dying son to force me to go back to work for him, he never helped at all physically or financially while I was taking care of our disabled mother for 12 years, he stole my fathers funeral money that I found out years later when the funeral director wanted his money that I thought was paid. he screwed my parents out of money numerous times. etc. etc. etc. as it stands now my family has strict instructions to never let him in the hospital if i'm sick or to the funeral if i'm dead. when they thought I was going to die 2 years ago nobody told him. so yes I can forgive almost everyone because it's better than keeping hatred in our heart but not him. sorry for the rant lol...mike

 

[dandelions]

Hey JMG,

Also I pronounce it "NUT-ella" lol I kinda thought that's how everyone said it.

I think you (and I) pronounce it right and everyone else is wrong.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

I merged the 2 Cafe's together for today, ya'll. They were created quite close together. mhmm

Every time you say "mmhmm" at the end of the word, i think of this in Sling Blade's voice. lol

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

Best of luck to you Jay! We will miss you around here.

1) have you tried Nutella? Do you like it?
Well it's chocolate, so what's not to like? I can put it on all kinds of things. And I've always pronounced it the way it looks.

2) do you tune into the weather or just wing it, look out the windows? Have a favorite weather person?
I look up the weather because it can change rapidly here. I just like watching the Weather Channel, no one in particular. I used to have favorites when I was younger. lol

3) have you ever played, or have a fun memory of you in the rain?
Just being a kid and walking through the rain with reckless abandon.

4) optional. If you could forgive someone, who would it be?
Probably myself because I'm hardest on myself.
