1) Please no, no retrosexual movement where men get to scratch, fart and burp anytime, any place, and women are supposed to find that erotic and sexy.
What’s with male farting anyhow?
Most women would rather squeeze their cheeks together until they are bonded closed rather than let one rip while most men not only seem to have complete control over how long and how loud they fart, they seem to be able to do it at will – and get great enjoyment from their “flatulence on demand”.
I said most..not all.
2) Best salad ever to my taste buds: Fill plate with nice baby greens. Sprinkle crumbled Gorgonzola cheese over lettuce. Slice thin strips of red pepper and thin slices of Vidalia onion and sprinkle on top of cheese. Sprinkle craisins (has to have cranberries because I say so); then Toffee Toasted Almonds you buy in a package or you could sugar and toast your own but the ones in the package are paper thin, sweet and crunchy. Top with Paul Newman’s Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing, salt and cracked pepper. I added a handful of fresh blueberries to the mix and it was amazing. Yin and yang if you balance the sweet and savory correctly.
3) I have an impending wedding and an impending funeral to go to in the next month or so. Can I possibly find something to wear that would work for both? Black for both? White for both? Help!

you can wear black to both.
as for best salad ever mine is surprisingly close to yours substitute cheese is Feta
Add some grilled Chicken
And subsitute nuts are walnuts
leave out the fruit add tomatoes and cucumbers and ive got a yummy salad esp.with the raspberry vinagrette.
add some bacon bits (not BACOS) and some chopped egg and its a hearty meal;)
as for men farting well --- Farting was the original joke dontcha know?
dick and fart jokes...;)
That salad sounds delicious. I heart gorgonzola. Go black for both events.....you never go wrong with it. Or you could do navy as well. I think navy looks good on everyone.
I like my funiform like I like my men...black and sexy. ha cha cha.
Farting...I say rip away.
Salad sounds DIVINE. I'm currently doing balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt pepper, thin slivers of onion or onion juice, dijon mustard as my dressing. Sometimes I add curry powder as I love it, but not everyone does. If I use the curry, I go a bit lighter in vinegar. Like rice wine or white wine or even apple cider. Rice wine vinegar is great b/c it's so light and a bit sweet.
Today my salad just has to have cucumber in it. I don't know why. It just does.
Summer...I like that rainbow ingredient very much!
You, Jackie AMK and LB - thanks for taking time to comment blogirls-- all agreed that black was ok for a wedding...so I found a cute skirt, with peasanty matching top that together looks like a dress --in cotton-- by Max Studio if you know that brand, at TJs.
Not too fancy...but good enough to wear to a wedding...a little flair to the skirt but not too peasanty..just right.
Thanks for your help...when I saw that it's okay to wear black to a wedding I figured I can always find something I like in black...colors sometimes scare me...
Yeah...no more shopping!
colors should scare you.
do you watch project runway? if you do i rest my case.
if you dont take a look at bravotv.com and look at the pictures.
even professionals cant get it right all the time.
ok anyway HUGS have fun at the wedding try not cry and try not to laugh at the funeral.
I love project runway Jackie...I just hope that the funeral doesn't end up being on the wedding day...that could be hard...
Hugs back at you and have a great weekend one and all!
I just spent 6 hours (after a 1.3 hour drive to and then a 2.2 hour drive back) shopping for clothes to wear to some weddings. I have 3 coming up.
I remember, my friend K was getting married, and I had this GREAT black stretch velvet dress that i wore to another wedding, and I mentioned it to the bride who absolutely FREAKED out about me wearing black to her wedding. So i wore slut red instead :) But in truth, I don't think black appropriately done is a problem at a wedding. Not nearly as much as wearing white would be. :) Sounds like you got a good all purpose outfit - and if you want to dress it up for the wedding, something like a colorful scarf or shawl would probably perk it up a bit... :)
me - i went browns this year. Apparently according to Nordstroms, Brown is the new Black. Spent WAY too much money (thankfully it was mom's not mine) and got 2 patterned brown skirts, an ice blue cowl neck shell, and a sheer brown button down shirt that came with a matching brown spaghetti strap tank. Then I got a ribbed brown tank top from another store, and then 2 pairs of brown dress shoes from sears. Cuz well - i have tons of BLACK dress shoes, but no brown, and if you are doing all brown, well black doesn't quite work. :) So now I have a multitude of mix and match outfits. :) WHEEEEEEE :)
What inspired you to write about subject #1? You make me laugh.
btw, I always look forward to your posts no matter what the subject matter is :)
Have a great weekend Mary!
I needed a break between topic number one and number two; it's like someone farted on your salad.
Ilanna, brown IS the new black!
I read that in the NY Times...but brown is such a crazy wild color ;-), I still ferreted out some black. It does have a white pattern so it isn't all wedding or all funeral. And, I have black shoes, though I bought another pair of black sandals...so cute I generate saliva when I look at them...just adorable.
I also bought a cute, but I'm not sure I"m keeping it, black sweater? jacket? I don't know what you'd call it - shaped like Jackie's baby sweater (hahhahah)
Anyhow, I'm okay with what I bought, I just can't shop for hours or days without hating the world. So I buy the first thing I can stand.
I love mix and match...you sound like you've done a good job!
Dashababy, number one, was inspired by an article that the new hot MALE is called a retrosexual, not big on personal hygiene (gag) -- the old beer drinking, sports watching, ball scratching guy of old...I was sad to hear this.
Now the man who should steal all female's hearts...our dear metrosexual -- closeted as he might be -- you made me laugh so hard I ( blank, blank,)
won't fill in the blanks.
Hilarious and true, there should have been a segue, like beans make you fart blah blah and beans are the new ingredient in salads.
Alas, I haven't been able to write a decent post, so I just spout out whatever is in my mind...and it's scary.
God (disclaimer: the term God was used as a figure of speech and no way means the owner of this blog has found religion) you made me laugh!
I'm an old man. I have learned three immutable laws of aging:
1. Never trust a fart.
2. Never walk past a urinal.
3. Never waste an erection, even if you're by yourself.
I have embraced these as my personal code of conduct. Now, if you will excuse me, I feel a stirring down below and need to investigate whether I'll have to follow rule #1 or rule #3.
Nilbo as soon as I saw your name, I turned away from my screen, swallowed my coffee and then looked at what your wrote...I'm so glad I did...Hilarious!!!!
And you're no old man, I saw your picture with your beautiful daughter!!
I love farting outloud when I'm home alone (99% of the time). It feels good to not hold it in. Gross I know but it's true.
Navy blue or a darkish shade of blue would work for both the wedding and the funeral.
Michelle, Farting alone is one of life's joys!
I got a black outfit with white embroidery so I'm good to go. I love navy blue, but I don't have any blue shoes..I don't know if you can wear beige or other colors, but anyhow I'm set..thanks for the help. I tend to be a bohemian type and love Goodwill and "finds" but this time I went to a real store.
Amazing sounding salad! I need to visit your site more often, as you tend you inspire good eating.
And for the wedding, it sounds like you have it sorted, which hopefully will get me sorted for the wedding I'm going to on Monday, for which I have nothing to wear (in my defense, I didn't realize I was going to a wedding until a week ago). I hope your experience is a good omen for me finding something, too.
Kim, you're back from vacation! Hope you had a great time.
Weddings...they are popping up everywhere...hope you don't have that impending funeral too...:-(
It's an elderly relative of husband, not close, is 93 and in hospice...so that's on my mind all the time...but, the good side is I do now have fabric to cover my body that is appropriate for both events.
