Things I wanna know before I kick the bucket!

[Zombie_61]

I like some strange combinations, but this is for you 》

To be honest, the "bologna and whipped cream" was stolen from The Three Stooges; I've never tried it, and probably never will. I have eaten peanut butter and pickle sandwiches though. Truth be told, I have to be in the mood for them and prefer peanut butter and bacon.

Why?

It's part of that whole "salty/sweet" flavor combination thing. It's okay once in a while, but I usually prefer my watermelon as-is.

...Zombie...my late Wife and I had several miniature Schnauzers over the years. My favorite dog for many reasons..one being great personalities..

This is our first, and I agree completely. Everyone on our street knows him because he likes to meet people and loves little children, and he's very gentle with everyone. He tends to bark a bit too much at other dogs sometimes, which often puts them "on the defensive", but I've heard and read that's quite common with the breed. I only wish he wasn't quite so loud sometimes; he actually sets off car alarms.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Yep...they can bark excessively at times..but another thing I like about them is they are not yappers. The bark like a big dog.

Aaaah.... let us not forget the mother of
Brussel sprouts....
the venerable cabbage which can keep you going & going & going!

I'll, um, pass on the cabbage, thanks. hahahahahahahaaaaaaaa

 

[scottyrocks]

Our Miniature Schnauzer, Butch, is definitely one of those. Between his vocalizations and his expressive face, we can almost always tell exactly what's on his mind.

Bologna and whipped cream, peanut butter and pickles...

My wife likes peanut butter and mustard.

Peanuts or pecans that I have to shell taste far better for me.

Nothing's better than moonlight and pretzels.

Before I fall off my perch....

want to know if some have seen and talked to aliens, the greys you know

That's all

No biggie.

I'll put mustard on just about anything short of ice cream, but that's a combination I've yet to try. Maybe one of these days when I'm feeling brave...

I haven't, but I was once told by someone who has researched the possibilities of "alien" life far more than I have that "grey alien" sightings are most common because they have a specific interest in humans. Even more specifically that they don't have what we call "souls", and are so fascinated by the concept that they're hoping to learn more about it. I've never met an extraterrestrial--not that I'm aware of, anyway--so I can neither confirm nor refute this claim.

...Only three times in my life have I had the sensation of “out-of-body-experience.”...All I know is it’s very difficult to describe the feeling or sensation after it has happened...

This will probably earn me the "Tin Foil Fedora" award here, but what the hell. I've had a number of out-of-body experiences while sleeping; it's more commonly referred to among metaphysicians as "Soul Traveling". This differs from "astral" or "etheric" projection because there is/was no conscious decision to do so, but that's a whole other discussion. And I agree, it's sometimes difficult to distinguish between Soul Traveling and dreaming, but there is a difference in the qualities of the sensations experienced during either. Most (if not all) of us have had dreams that were incredibly realistic, but Soul Traveling is somehow even more real and the memories of those journeys usually are stronger and last longer in our minds than anything remembered from a dream.

That said, I have had one out-of-body experience while I was awake. I had been reading a non-fiction book about the "Golden Age" of piracy that included a number of documented eye-witness accounts. I finished the chapter, closed the book, and was walking through the house when I suddenly found myself standing on the deck of an old sailing vessel, probably a sloop. I and the crew were dressed appropriately for the era (1650-1730), and I was angrily issuing orders to "my" crew about how the crew of ship we were trailing was to be treated. I could smell the ocean air, feel the sun on my skin, the spray of the sea water, and the deck rolling beneath my feet. This lasted maybe 10-20 seconds, then I found myself standing perfectly still in our house again, still holding the book. I had not fallen asleep and dreamt it, nor was it induced by any "substances"; I was there. I'm not asking anyone else to believe this, but I know what I know.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

HeavenlyHadley...It's difficult to actually talk to the greys. They talk in what sounds like Eskimo baby talk. Plus they giggle hysterically after each sentence like little girls with one of those funny Australian accents. However they can cuss like rum drunk pirates if they get to know you well. That's just the males of the species, though. The females only communicate in whispers, whistles and singing. One sounded just like Ray Charles while another blared loudly exactly like Tommy Dorsey's trumpet player's horn. Sorry I just can't take their constant tap dancing, ballet jumps and twirls. I really don't associate with them anymore even when they sneak in my bedroom window late at night and hide under my bed.

Why got arachnids ugly eight legs?? Wouldn't six be sufficient?

6 legs may be sufficient but then they wouldn't be arachnids.

Here's something I want to know: why is the ocean so near to the shore.

It hasn't always been so. Millions of years ago the shore was nearer to the ocean.

Although I haven't actually spoken to aliens as I don't speak their lingo I have been abducted & experimented on by them & have the scars to prove it. I would go into more detail but I don't want to hog the thread.

Back in ’56...the Shore was doing promos for Chevy!

Those Universal musicals were very underrated.

Neat find. Looks like she stopped by to do the promo on the way out to dinner at a 4-star restaurant.

And, IMHO, she seemed a bit awkward.

Did you notice how absolutely beautiful the roads looked?

Most folks dressed up when going out in
public.
That she seemed "awkward" was what made her popular with TV viewers across
America. Doris Day not as "awkward" as
Dinah but nevertheless very popular in movies around this time period.
The highway roads were beautiful in film but in real life kind of scary because divided roads were not as common as today.
Have you ever driven on a two lane road
and come upon a hay wagon or a tractor?
Remember Burma~Shave signs?
And the nearest rest stop was the next city when driving from one town to another. Speed limit was 55 MPH.
Food stops were local diners.
Chain diners was mostly Dairy Queen.
Burger King and McDonalds were just
starting to appear on the scene.

When cats meeooow it usually means they want something & they have learnt that by meowing to a human, they stand a good chance of getting what they want.

Our cat had me well trained as well. I have no real need for an alarm clock. Between the cat at the mutts, there's little sleeping in around here.

 

[tonyb]

haha, I'm tellin' ya I have a dog that tries for all he's worth to talk to us. The sounds that come out of him are not words only by the fact that he doesn't have the oral musculature to speak words. But he tries.

I'm convinced that one of our dogs may not actually SPEAK English, but he understands it.

 

[LizzieMaine]

Cats speak many languages, and can ignore you in all of them.
