I'm doing a poll on twitter to pick the next painting I do- I'm going to do a current Sabre. 

Skinner and Pommers have been taking the lead from each other but dark horse dahlin is in second now... 

I retweeted a bunch of times.... hope your overall poll numbers increase 10 fold

Don't partake of Twitter much, so like NS will provide my take here.

Has to be Dahlin.  You need to have 1 of him from his rookie season for posterity's sake & from the way you've described your current workload, don't know that you'll get to that if his portrait slides to 2nd or 3rd on the list.

My 2 cents, at any rate.  Probably not worth quite that much. ;)

3 weeks ...

I have cut back to 1 additional / very strong coffee after my usual normal Turkish / Bosnian pot ... 5 - 6 espresso size cups of very strong each morning.

I need to cut back and eliminate my sucking on, well chewing, suckers, though.  After this coming week they will be all gone.

I did a quick Dahlin (doesn't even have his number) right around the draft, which is why I'm cool with doing someone else first. But I'm going to paint everyone on that list this year, provided I have the time and the Sabres don't go completely down the sh!tter. Just polling to drum up some interest and pick the first one.

This is not a political issue, at least now, so I will put this here ...

Stay safe R_Dudley and any other SabreSpacer in Pittsburgh.

Same for everybody else there.

Is Kombucha the latest snake oil variation?

That is my take.

I had never seen that word until you just typed it. I've definitely never heard it spoken. And now that I've googled it, I'm sure I'll never hear of it again.

I hope it tastes better than quinoa.

Never had Keen-Wah but Kombucha is a yeasty, vinegary, carbonated nightmare.

Is it normal for a parent to let a child bring a toy grenade to a play area and let said child heave it into the air in the middle of said play area? Can people be this oblivious?

That is just plain nuts.

The only thing worse would be for them to bring a real one, which is probably not as far fetched as it may sound.

I was stopped by a lady while walking into the grocery store with a mountain of plastic bags to recycle. She asked if I was going to recycle them. Yep. Then she asked if she could have them.    Sure. Have fun with your 500 new plastic bags.

Feel like everyone I know and their sister are making kombucha and have been for the last 4-5 years. They're all obsessed with growing SCOBYs and sharing them and I don't know.

I admit I like some of it (only the ginger stuff, some of that sh!t gets weird- pineapple pina colada kombucha? get out of here). But most of it isn't super to my tastes. And I have to be careful because it uh... it goes through you. But in small amounts it actually seems to help some of my GI issues. 

 

Quinoa though... nope, never could get into it. Like bitter, nasty itty bitty fish roe. Like chia seeds, gets stuck in your teeth. Bleh.

 

sidenote- if i had to go with a good thing that's going snake oil quickly, it's CBD oil. Good, until every essential oil MLM b.s. wannabe company gets ahold of it and overprices crap versions of it as a wonderdrug that cures everything....

It's like pasta or rice.  You have to add flavor or a sauce.

I am having so much fun envisioning an older woman plunging herself into a mountain of plastic bags and rolling around like a child.

My guess: she’s using them to pick up her dog’s poop ?

That's absolutely what's going on, but I like my version better.

Or she's a crazy person like my wife's deceased aunt. She had an entire room full of them in her house. She "gifted" us enough to fill the entire storage area in my Grand Cherokee. Bat. *****. Crazy.

Quinoa can be absolutely delicious. We make it as part of a Mediterranean salad.

Quinoa and kombucha are both awesome. I'm not sure I buy some of the more outlandish health claims for kombucha, but it's good and a bunch of good gut bacteria can't be bad for you. I'm just sad that I screwed up my SCOBY last week because I was in a hurry so I need to get a new one.

Someday I'm taking a field trip out to your place for dinner.  The stuff you've described in multiple threads is mouth-watering.

So, I went to our hottie dentist today for a cleaning (she doesn't do that, but she has hottie hygenists for that) and an inspection (is that what they call it?  I don't think so).

Hottie, or not, she is not getting a whole pile of $ out of me for an inplant, or two.  We talked about this before, but she keeps trying.

I did agree to a filling, or two, though.
