I dunno...~*>?!.
One must be picked or it will tear apart the fabric of the universe. Lol jk, sorry weird mood.
Anyway between fried or baked chicken, I pick fried. Been craving KFC for at least the last week or 2, might end up cracking and going there tomorrow when I have to go out anyway lol.
Digital clock or analog (non-digital/traditional) clock?
Lol he'll never follow the rules, he's too much of a rebel 
And if the universe breaks, we can send Han Solo or whoever out there to fix it. :P That sounds good, they closed the only KFC here and a restaurant that served it, so the only place you can get it here is grocery stores.
Anyway, I think I prefer digital clocks, especially the one I have. I can't find the exact one online, but the colors are like this, the outside is pink, and it has the day of the week but not the temp and date like this one does.
Would you rather read fiction or non fiction?

:pOmg that sucks they closed the only KFC near you and that now you can only get fried chicken in grocery stores. I sure hope the fried chicken they sell at the grocery stores near you are better than the kind they sell at the grocery store near us lol. It really sucks a lot. I hope they don’t ever close the KFC near us, don’t even know where the “nearest one” would be if they closed it lol. Hope they’ll open a new one near ya soon though!
That is such an awesome rainbow digital clock! I love it and want one now, hey just curious, with the one you have, did you get it on amazon? Well I’m gonna check there, I’ve been wanting a newer/better digital clock for awhile now, and a rainbow one would be so perfect
Oh and ya, the answer to your q is - fiction!
Both are great though of course.Having an awesome rainbow digital clock, or a boring/no color (or just solid color) one? (Lol) 😋
Lol! Aw, such a lawless rebel, our MrB. :p And ok sounds good about if the universe breaks to send Han Solo (or hmm maybe Luke Skywalker instead? Lol) I’d do my best to go where they were to help them “fix” it for sure :p

The fried chicken at the store is pretty good, but it would be nice to have an actual fried chicken place. I wish they would open more places around here. Yeah, the clock was on Amazon, I think I originally saw one on another site but they have them on there too. Lots of different varieties too, so I'm sure you will find something you like,I think I'd prefer having an awesome rainbow clock
Would you rather eat cotton candy ice cream or just regular cotton candy?
Sounds good (about sending those characters or “whoever else” to help if the fabric of the universe gets torn apart, lol) 😉😋😊
Glad the fried chicken at the store is pretty good, and ya I understand it would be nice to have an “actual” fried chicken place. Ok, thanks for letting me know that awesome rainbow digital clock was on amazon, definitely gotta get on there in a bit to see about getting a cool rainbow one Lol good choice about picking that one over a “boring/no color or solid color” digital clock, same here 😉😋
Regular cotton candy, mostly cos it’s been so long since I got to eat it (yup, another thing I can only eat extremely rarely or I live to regret it, lol) I love the flavor of it though, so the ice cream is definitely a great “alternative” imo
Would you rather never be able to eat chocolate again, or never be able to eat chips again?

They probably know more than we do about fixing it because they spend a lot of time in space. Have you ever made fried chicken at home? I might have before but the coating doesn't stick that well. It's just better when you buy it somewhere. The clock I had before was decent, but it would only light up if you pressed a button. But this one is bright even in the middle of the night, so it's easy to read. Did you cut things out of your diet because you want to eat healthier, or do you get sick from eating certain things? It's a bit of both for me, sometimes I'll feel sick depending on what I eat. It sucks but I do want to get to a place where my health is better.
Probably never be able to eat chips again. I like chocolate too much And there's some without added sugar which is pretty good too.
Would you rather be stuck in a room with a bee or spider?

Lol, yes, good thinking on that one, they would be most likely to be the “experts” on universe fabric ripping and fixing it :p And many years ago we did the fried chicken at home (think it was with a “shake n bake” kind of thing lol, dunno if they even still make those or not) it was ok but ya, exactly like you said, it’s better when “bought” somewhere and someone else has taken care of that pesky “cooking” part already, lol 😂😉😋
Ya I am partly wanting a newer/better digital clock so the numbers will be bigger (always having to “squint” to see the numbers on mine if I’m on the other side of my room or whatever) that’s cool that the rainbow one you have now is easier to read, that’s what I am needing too for sure.
It’s kind of a long story with the dietary things, but ya, let’s just say it involves a bit of “disagreements” going on with my body if I eat certain kinds of things these days, lol. Thanks for asking/caring about that though I appreciate it a lot and it’s very kind of you It thankfully doesn’t involve “getting sick” from things, but does involve physical pain. It has finally become somewhat “less” these days so I think I’ve (hopefully!) found a “balance” with all of it. I do need to eat healthier too though for sure (definitely “have some weight to lose”). Sorry to hear you sometimes feel sick from certain kinds of foods, ya less processed stuff is definitely what they are always saying is a good idea for overall “better health” of the body so I am trying to get “more” of those foods going and get that diet triangle flipped back to the right way up lol :p
Definitely rather be stuck in a room with a bee, cos spiders scare the living ykw outta me, lol :p
Would you rather be given cash or a gift card as a bday present?

I think they still do make those, and yeah it just seems like they know more tricks to making the coating so good, so I'll trust the professionals It has different light settings so you can have it brighter or darker. But I prefer mine at the brightest setting so I can see it easily, plus it acts as a night light. I'm sorry to hear that, I get it though because sometimes I can get sick if I eat certain things. I had my gallbladder taken out about 20 years ago, so I shouldn't really be eating anything sugary or fattening, but I do it anyway because it can be hard to resist those types of foods. I should be eating healthier but it's hard. I know the bad stuff can be addicting so you want to eat more of it. Spiders can be scary, but I'd probably want to be stuck in a room with a tiny one instead of a giant wasp :P
I'd probably rather have cash, then I will be able to spend it at whatever store I want to. Unless it's one of those cards that isn't for a specific store and more like for Paypal or whatever.
Would you rather watch a 3 hour long movie or read a thousand page novel?

Just want to say, it’s really fun doing this back and forth talking here, been a long time since I talked so “much” with someone online like this Ok, thanks for letting me know about them still making that shake n bake stuff (been so many years since I had it, lol), and yup I agree doing things like fried chicken is best left to the professionals
Awesome about the diff. light settings on your rainbow digital clock, I hope the one I get will have that option too. Ya night lights can be handy for sure, and ya brighter is much easier to see which is very helpful too. Sorry to hear about getting sick from eating certain things, that sounds hard. Oh wow I didn’t know that about having your gallbladder removed, or that when it’s removed that sugary/fattening things need to be avoided. I’ve still got mine and hopefully will get to keep it for my whole life but ya I understand that it’s hard to resist those yummy, non-healthy kinds of foods sometimes. And yup also hard to eat healthier for sure. Been saying for at least the last month “omg we really need to eat more salads” but basically haven’t even eaten one! (Gotta get some lettuce first, lol) Frustrating for sure. Yup exactly about those bad foods being addictive sometimes.
Ok if it was like a tiny little baby spider that I could barely even see, then I guess that might be ok lol. Ya I’d rather have cash too, when it’s gift cards then it’s too limited imo.
I pick watching a 3 hour long movie. I read books with 1000 pages before (I think, lol) but it’s been pretty rare that I’ve read books with quite so many pages. Usually prefer that they not be more than 500-600 pages lol :p
Would you rather drink Coca Cola or Pepsi?

I was going to say that too, and it helps to get away from my loneliness at night. I have a weird sleep schedule now so I'm generally up when everyone else is sleeping. Thanks for being here and taking the time to listen. Yeah plus there are like 8 color settings, I guess it depends on the one you get though. There are stationary colors but then I like the setting where it changes colors. I ended up having gallstones and they just took the whole thing out because I was really sick at that time. It holds bile and that helps break down fats and other things in the body. So it just passes through a bit faster now I guess, and I have to make sure I don't overdo it. Well there are good things you can put in a salad, it basically comes down to imagination because there's a lot you can do. I don't usually read books that long either, but I can sit and watch movies for a long time.
I'd probably rather drink Coke, but I do like both.
Would you rather see a dragon or a unicorn?

I’m so glad you were gonna say that too, and I definitely understand about backwards sleeping as it is also like that for me too right now. Gonna try very hard to not watch any shows tonight (comforting as they are) and instead do some reading and hopefully get to sleep a lot earlier. Sorry to hear it gets lonely being up when others are asleep though, but glad me being here has helped that be “less” so. You’re welcome for being here and listening though, I’m glad to be, thank you for being here and listening too.
That sounds awesome about there being 8 diff. color settings, and ya I would like the “changing colors” one too I think. Oh wow about having those gallstones, sounds like it would be a painful thing to have. I’m sorry you were so sick and had to go through all that, I can’t even imagine really. The only “things” I ever needed removed (like with any kind of “operation” was when I got my wisdom teeth pulled. It’s looking likely that I’ll need surgery sometime this year or by next year though, not sure what “kind” yet and won’t know for a couple months still. It’s a bit nerve wracking but doing my best to just not think too much about it lol.
Anyway, ok thanks for the info about the gallbladder, I didn’t really know much about it (I would maybe have asked google for “more info” about it later, so thank you for saving me having to go do that, lol!) Yup you’re right that there’s lots of things that can be added to salads to make them “good” and not just some bland lettuce and carrots thing lol. Ya my imagination can be a bit limited sometimes, but oh I just remembered something else I love having in salads. Those yummy little cherry tomatoes. Ok I gotta add that to the “list” I made of things to go and get when I go out later lol. Ya it’s the same with me with being able to watch a “long” movie but not usually reading 1000 page books.
I’d rather see a unicorn, I love both though
Would you rather be a bird or a butterfly?

Basically I have kept to myself for a while, I was even going to stop spending time on the internet. It's my main source of communication and it's easier to talk to people here. But I've had some bad experiences, trusted the wrong people and really got hurt. I can understand if I had done something wrong, but I didn't. In fact I was kind to people, and yet I was called every name in the book for no real reason. it's made me wary of who to trust, and I haven't reached out much or talked to anyone new because it's hard to know who to trust. So I've been closed off in that regard. I know you're a good person though and I can trust you. It's just hard to know what others have in store for me, especially if I let someone into my life and they really betray me. It's hard to spring back from that, especially if it happens multiple times.
I've just been watching movies, that's something I like to do to take my mind off things. And now I'm writing so that's another good way to distract myself. Yeah, there are lots of cool clocks and many other cool things on Amazon as well as other sites. I'm sure you will find something that you like. I knew something was really wrong with me at that time, and they kept telling me different things until they realized I needed an operation. I hope the operation will go smoothly. It's mostly the recovery from these things that sucks. I was really nervous about the procedure itself, but you will be knocked out and won't even know what is happening.
I have to get one of my wisdom teeth removed and one next to it, because it's sideways and basically damaged the tooth next to it. I've had a few removed now so another good reason to change my eating habits. I like some of the salads you can get in stores, and some even have fried chicken in them lol.
I think I'd rather be a butterfly, some birds are nice though.
Would you rather be concise or wordy?

I’m sorry you’ve kept to yourself for the last while, but I’m really glad you decided not to stop being here/on the net. It’s definitely better here on SF “with you” than without you. I’ve really missed talking tbh, and ya I get it with it being easier to talk to people here and it being the main source of communication, aside from 1 rl friend and one online (that I talk to fairly “often”) I don’t really have much else in terms of any kind of “non-family social outlet” either.
Anyway I’m really sorry you had bad experiences with trusting the wrong people and getting hurt, you definitely didn’t deserve to have any of that happen. I don’t understand why people would call you names like that if you were just trying to be nice. People can be so crazy and confusing sometimes for sure. I understand that it’s made it hard to trust people though, it’s like that for me too in a way. I am generally quite cautious when it comes to “blindly” trusting anyone, but I think I can sometimes take that “caution” a bit too far, so that’s definitely been one of my challenges in the “trust” department. It maybe sounds/seems confusing since I think I usually come across as a very “open” and I like to think at least fairly “friendly” or at least accepting kind of person, and I think I am those things, but it’s all still done in a careful/cautious kind of way if that makes sense.
Anyway I’m sorry you’ve been closed off, but I am really glad you think I’m a good and trustworthy person so thank you for saying that, I think the same to you too I understand about being wary of what others potentially “have in store”, for me what I usually do is just try to always “be prepared for anything” (as much as I can be, of course). That way, pretty much nothing will ever “surprise me” or catch me off guard. It can be a “harder” way to live/be (definitely takes more energy!) but it is also safer. There’s been many times where it has definitely saved me a LOT of time and energy wasting time with those who would only seek to use/abuse me in some way. It can be a very brutal world though, definitely no denying that. I understand that it can be a hard thing to spring back from, for me one of the “only” good parts of such unfortunate/upsetting/disappointing experiences is that each time I feel like I come outta that pile of ashes stronger and more powerful than I ever was before I think the same is absolutely true for you too, even if perhaps you don’t necessarily see, feel or believe that to be true.
That’s great that you’ve been watching movies to take your mind off things, I’ve mostly been watching some “light-hearted” familiar/comfort shows lately, or reading. I need to do a lot more reading and a lot less show watching though I think lol. Excellent about doing writing too, I kinda have been writing as well but not any “creative” story kind, mostly in diary.
Wow that definitely sounds like it was scary with needing that operation and them first telling you different things. I’m glad the operation was ok for you though, sorry to hear the recovery time sucks. Ya the info I found about whichever of those operations I need seem like they’ll be ok and that the recovery time won’t be too bad. And ya I am glad whichever one I get that it will involve being put to sleep so I can just wake up and it will be “done” lol. Thanks for wishing me luck with it going smoothly.
Omg sorry this reply is quite “long” lol, gonna try to make this the final “part” of it lol. Sorry to hear you might have to get one of your wisdom teeth removed and the one beside it, but hope when you do that it all goes smoothly. Ya there’s definitely lots of benefits to “healthier eating” for sure. Ohh ya those salads with fried chicken in them are yummy for sure.
I would definitely rather be “concise” but I think I’m probably guilty of being “wordy” sometimes (maybe “most of the time?” lol)
Would you rather have a cat as a pet, or a dog?

I would definitely rather be “concise” but I think I’m probably guilty of being “wordy” sometimes (maybe “most of the time?” lol)
Would you rather have a cat as a pet, or a dog?
I’m sorry you’ve kept to yourself for the last while, but I’m really glad you decided not to stop being here/on the net. It’s definitely better here on SF “with you” than without you. I’ve really missed talking tbh, and ya I get it with it being easier to talk to people here and it being the main source of communication, aside from 1 rl friend and one online (that I talk to fairly “often”) I don’t really have much else in terms of any kind of “non-family social outlet” either.
Anyway I’m really sorry you had bad experiences with trusting the wrong people and getting hurt, you definitely didn’t deserve to have any of that happen. I don’t understand why people would call you names like that if you were just trying to be nice. People can be so crazy and confusing sometimes for sure. I understand that it’s made it hard to trust people though, it’s like that for me too in a way. I am generally quite cautious when it comes to “blindly” trusting anyone, but I think I can sometimes take that “caution” a bit too far, so that’s definitely been one of my challenges in the “trust” department. It maybe sounds/seems confusing since I think I usually come across as a very “open” and I like to think at least fairly “friendly” or at least accepting kind of person, and I think I am those things, but it’s all still done in a careful/cautious kind of way if that makes sense.
Anyway I’m sorry you’ve been closed off, but I am really glad you think I’m a good and trustworthy person so thank you for saying that, I think the same to you too I understand about being wary of what others potentially “have in store”, for me what I usually do is just try to always “be prepared for anything” (as much as I can be, of course). That way, pretty much nothing will ever “surprise me” or catch me off guard. It can be a “harder” way to live/be (definitely takes more energy!) but it is also safer. There’s been many times where it has definitely saved me a LOT of time and energy wasting time with those who would only seek to use/abuse me in some way. It can be a very brutal world though, definitely no denying that. I understand that it can be a hard thing to spring back from, for me one of the “only” good parts of such unfortunate/upsetting/disappointing experiences is that each time I feel like I come outta that pile of ashes stronger and more powerful than I ever was before I think the same is absolutely true for you too, even if perhaps you don’t necessarily see, feel or believe that to be true.
That’s great that you’ve been watching movies to take your mind off things, I’ve mostly been watching some “light-hearted” familiar/comfort shows lately, or reading. I need to do a lot more reading and a lot less show watching though I think lol. Excellent about doing writing too, I kinda have been writing as well but not any “creative” story kind, mostly in diary.
Wow that definitely sounds like it was scary with needing that operation and them first telling you different things. I’m glad the operation was ok for you though, sorry to hear the recovery time sucks. Ya the info I found about whichever of those operations I need seem like they’ll be ok and that the recovery time won’t be too bad. And ya I am glad whichever one I get that it will involve being put to sleep so I can just wake up and it will be “done” lol. Thanks for wishing me luck with it going smoothly.
Omg sorry this reply is quite “long” lol, gonna try to make this the final “part” of it lol.

I'm glad you have come out of it stronger, and I hope someday I can as well. Although in some ways I think I am, because I haven't given up yet, even though I want to at times. It's just good also to have distractions especially if emotions get too heavy. I know that can happen to me often and I can't let it get me down too much.
It's weird because it's like darkness when they knock you out, but really you don't perceive anything. It's more like a dreamless sleep but it's deeper than that. So even if you get scared before the operation, you'll wake up and it will already be done before you even know it happened. It's like one minute you're awake, the next they wake you up again and it feels like no time has passed.
Yeah that's ok though, I can be wordy too
But the game room is a good place for it since it doesn't interrupt the main boards. Plus there's an eternal chat thread on here too if you want to just talk,.I think I'd rather have a cat, that's a hard choice though.
Would you rather listen to an audio book or read a book?
I hope I'm not keeping you up too late by talking so much. I think you're like two hours behind me but it's still late there. I'm in one of those weird time zone cusps where I'm close to Eastern time but actually in Central. That means a lot that you said that, it's a better place with you here too. It's good to see people that try to make the world a better place and not worse like some do. I don't get out much and it's hard for me to talk to people in person anyway. But I also have to be sure that I don't trust people too easily or too soon. Sometimes people only befriend me because they want something from me and get mad when they don't get what they want. It just seems easier for them to bully or name call someone instead of owning up to treating someone badly. I think that I'm better at spotting it now though and won't put up with it. I usually just cut people out if they act like that instead of giving them more chances. People tend to take advantage of my kindness but I won't let them anymore. Also it bothers me when people leave without a trace, especially if things were going well. Sometimes I guess they need to leave but they could at least tell me first so I don't feel like it's my fault.

It’s been nice and helped me not even so much as “want” to go and put the tv on like I usually would have by now. Talking here like this has given me far more than any show ever could anyway. Oh and yup you are 2 hrs ahead of me (on the west coast/PST here) but ya no I guess I probably should go and do some other things for a bit after I do this reply here, and then ya, try to sleep lol. Trying to figure out what the heck to eat too cos feeling kinda hungry.Anyway, aw well I’m really happy it means a lot that I said this place is better with you than without you, and thank you for saying you think it’s a better place here with me too!
That definitely means a lot to me as well, absolutely. I agree that it is always really nice to see/talk to people who are nice and trying to make the world a better/happier place instead of worse/more miserable. Same for me about not getting out much and it being hard to talk to people in person. I understand about needing to be careful to not trust people too quickly, and needing to ensure that they aren’t just gonna be a user/abuser type. Ya I don’t understand when people are like that really, it’s so dead wrong but I guess there are always various “things” that caused them to think and act the way they do. But ya that definitely doesn’t make it “right” to treat others unkindly. That’s good that you have gotten better at spotting that kind of thing, it is so vitally important to be able to do that in this world imo. Anyone who is a bit more “sensitive” (the best kinds of people, imo!) definitely need to do whatever they can to protect themselves from “toxicity” for sure. I definitely understand and “get” that, big-time.I agree about it being upsetting when people disappear without a trace, especially when things seemed to be “going well”. I definitely wish people would just communicate if they feel upset about something, or just don’t want to talk anymore or whatever. Makes things a lot less confusing imo. I agree it’s much nicer to be “told” by the person that they no longer wish to talk, that way at least it isn’t just left hanging and without any kind of “resolution”.
I’m glad you feel like in some ways like you’ve come out of those challenges better and stronger, and yes, exactly, still standing despite it all, that is absolutely an excellent reason to feel proud, strong and powerful. I agree about distractions being needed and that they help things not get too “heavy”.
I was put under general anesthesia, when I had my wisdom teeth pulled. I had only ever experienced “local” anesthesia (at the dentist, lol) so had been freaked out about being completely “unconscious” from it like that, but ya it was exactly as you described it, felt like a second later I was awake and it was all “done”. I was in so much shock about it I just ended up laughing so much cos of how silly I felt for being as freaked out about it as I had been for days before “the day” of having the surgery. But ya you definitely described it well for sure.
Lol aw ok well thank you for saying that about the wordy thing, I think you’re quite a bit better at being more “concise” about things than I am, I’m working on being “better” about that though
Ya you’re right that the gameroom is a better place to have these kinds of “talking in the threads” things going on cos of it not really “interrupting” anything. I think I went in the “eternal chat thread” before, might have been awhile ago though, I’ll do a search for it later cos that might also be a good place for me to go sometimes too. Sometimes it is exactly like that, I just want someone to “talk to” online, lol. Thanks for reminding me about it I’d rather “read a book” cos part of the fun of reading imo is that my own voice gets to be the “narrator” and it feels like it just pulls me into the story in a “deeper” kind of way if that makes any sense lol. Don’t think I ever listened to an audio book before, or not for a very long time anyway.
Would you rather drink green tea or chamomile tea?
Nah, I got up late so I'm not too tired right now. So it's all good, and it's nice to have company instead of just spending the night alone. I'm glad though that you are enjoying talking to me, I don't think I'm that interesting but thank you. Yeah, probably a good idea to get some rest and eat, I wouldn't want to keep you away from doing anything. I think that some people like to prey on those they think they can manipulate, but luckily it is easier to spot that behavior with experience. So I'll try not to let anyone get to me like that again. It's weird when they just disappear and usually they don't ever come back online again and I can't help but take that personally. Like they found me so annoying that they had to get away, even though it's probably not my fault.
Well it's normal to have apprehension about procedures, so don't feel bad about being worried about anything like that. And it doesn't matter either if we talk a lot here, it doesn't seem to get as much traffic as some of the other sections. I think I'd rather read a book too, but maybe I'd listen to one if I was feeling too lazy or something
I think I'd rather drink green tea but both are good.
Would you rather live in space or underwater?

Ok cool, sorry to only be replying back here now but lol ok this definitely completely proves what you said right (about there not being much “traffic” in this section of SF lol) I wasn’t sure if there’d be some replies “after” by now but nope, none, lol :p
Anyway I’m glad I was able to help keep you company the other night so you didn’t have to spend it alone, I loved the company as well. Wish I could do talking like that every day lol, if I didn’t need to eat/sleep/do chores or whatever then I definitely could. Slept a lot yesterday or else I most likely woulda had a chance to come on here again “before now” lol. But aw omg I’m sorry you don’t think you are interesting but I definitely do
Aw please don’t worry, you didn’t keep me away from anything, I definitely enjoyed talking here a lot and didn’t want to have to “stop” replying to go do other things, but had to. Thanks for being understanding about it though I appreciate that a lot.
Yup you’re right that some types of people prey on people they think can be manipulated, but ya I’m glad you’ve found it easier to spot them with experience. I think it is the same for me too. I’m sorry they just disappeared and didn’t come back online again though, that’s quite rude and offensive so I understand about it being hard to not take it personally, I would too. I end up thinking the same as how you said, immediately thinking it must be my fault and that “I said or did something wrong” but I try to also remind myself, if they couldn’t be bothered to try to let me know what the problem was, then I need to not worry too much about any of it in the first place. Easier said than done sometimes though of course. And ya I’m sure you didn’t do anything wrong and that it wasn’t that they found you annoying or anything like that and was just their own issues or something like that.
Thanks for the understanding and reassurance about not feeling bad if I feel worried about possibly needing surgery sometime in the next year.
I’d rather live underwater, cos space kinda freaks me out. I’m way too much of homebody to ever want to go to any other planet lol.
Would you rather eat a banana or an apple?

Lol that's ok, I'm glad there are people here replying, no matter how few there may be. I don't think this section is as popular as it was in the past. Or maybe some of the regulars stopped going here. But it's good we can keep it going anyway. Yeah, it is nice to talk but sometimes I do need to eat or sleep. I get that too, I've been sleeping a lot and sometimes I can't sleep at all. Thank you, I think you are really interesting to talk to as well
Yeah, I'm not like one of those people that expects replies right away, I've dealt with that and it gets annoying. I know that people have other things to do. I can usually tell when people are pulling away or losing interest, then they say nothing is wrong but they prove me right. So I tend to pick up on those clues easily and try not to get too close if I know they will just leave.
I think I'd rather eat an apple.
