No... I prefer Hershey's syrup.

TPBM prefers caramel.

I'm perfectly happy with the Dulche de Leche ice cream instead.
TPBM wants the original ice cream recipe. If it was good enough for the Roman emperors, it's good enough for anyone.

Nah, I'm fine with the coconut-milk "ice creams". Especially the German chocolate cake one. Which I'm out of. :(

Living with two vegans the top shelf is full of coconut, soy, rice,and hemp milk. There is one lone bottle of cow's milk which is segregated in the corner like some errant child in the timeout chair. I do use the fake stuff when I make my extra delicious coffee cake chock full of toasted walnuts, chocolate chips, and double streusel topping. I just found out that the vegan group that I was instrumental in growing from 5 to over 50 at my last kitchen is having their first meet-up at my new kitchen (different county). My daughter sent me the link to the meetup site with a note that said "they're stalking you". I probably hold the distinction of the omnivore with the most vegan acquaintances, sometimes I feel like a victim in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (but take solace knowing that they won't eat me).

Not only that, but I have ripped the heart out of the palm and held it up to the sun while it was still beating.

Completely. In 2010 my ride was running late, so I cored out the base of an acrylic cane I made (the one in my current avatar) & added a spot where a small LED could be hidden. By the time they arrived I had a light-up cane.

Never! I feel that ignoring obnoxious requests entirely is more relaxing, & sends the same message while giving someone annoying less to seize hold of and complain about.

The person below me simply disregards the entire ticketing forum.
