Kilt Boy

Don't get me started.

Jam don't shake like that.

God damn I love those peaches.

I've built a couple of those gliding chairs with the toy that rises up from inside for clients who requested one. They're such a pain to make that I only do it on request.

Well, I'm a quadruple Aries with most of my rulership planets in the first house, so there's a lot of power and control there. Then, I'm also a Dragon, so power and fire. Yes, I have a very powerful personality and have had to work at keeping it under control. All that work seems to have made me very intuitive from trying to work out how other people are going to react to situations so I don't have to. So, as a reaction to my Western and Eastern astrological data I've found great personal growth. That came from introspection based on negative reactions to my strong personality traits. I could have just kept being a jerk, but I really want people to like me (middle child). Learning how to listen to people has really helped in so many parts of my life.

Oh, my god. I found myself nodding my head at almost everything you said. Spending a good 20% of your mental energy constantly gauging the emotions in the room is so taxing. I had no formal training, but had a nearly identical (though brief) experience. Thanks so much for this. It's nice to meet people who know what you're talking about.

I spoke with her recently. She's doing well.

It isn't a kink thing. I've just always wanted to have a cricket bat kicking around since I saw Spinal Tap.

I've always wanted one. I should have it today. Then, I can burn my logo into it and add a bottle opener on the back for party times.

You and I will get along. Have you tried the (Ottawa) Ricardo's Super Special? I drive 20 minutes to pick one up and back home before I get into it. I've been eating this pizza for about 30 years now. I also enjoy their Texan pizza. It's got ground beef, hot banana peppers, and corn (plus tomato sauce and cheese). Surprisingly delicious.

Any time, man.

I've bought way too many tools in the last little while for my hobbies: leather working tools book binding equipment laser engraver odds and ends and parts for so many projects I have on the go I picked up a great new combo bbq box and griddle and have been putting together a tool kit of equipment that I can keep all in one place with trays, grill spatulas, temperature probes, squirt bottles, paper towels, aluminum foil, knives, cutting boards, etc. I can't wait until the spring to season it and give it a good run. Not exactly the last thing I purchased, but it's been piling up.

A gorgeous roast capon, potato mash, roasted carrots and parsnip, and one of my best pumpkin pies to date. I think I've finally gotten the combination of spices and bitters right. A lovely Ontario Gewurztraminer went with it very nicely. No gravy. I'll make some tomorrow for the leftovers sandwiches.

Well, I like vanilla. Vanilla extract. Used to make and sell the stuff. Hundreds of liters of the stuff over the years. The smell still lingers in my basement and it gives me the shivers sometimes. Not in a sexual way, but in a very memorable and pleasurable way. I've been told that my love of black women is a fetish. I've just always thought of it as a preference. It isn't an all-consuming lust, nor an exclusion of others. I see it as similar to liking partners with red hair or beards or kilts. Oh. Those are all me. Shit. Now I don't know what to think.

It's a curse to be as good looking as you are.

I've been thinking the exact same thing.

Okay, so maybe I don't exactly remember it ...

MMMmmm. Tastes like a delicious house fire.

I make whisky rocks. Have done for 10 years now. Cocktail bitters, too. Oh, and lube. Yeah. My interests are varied. 😉 https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/ReallyHorrible That gets me access to the Ottawa Whisky Show as a vendor, and I've tried a lot of different drinks there. I've been a vendor every year they've held the show and I'm a good friend of the organizers. We get some pretty interesting stuff that doesn't get out much. Rye, bourbon, whisky, etc. I have a lot of favourites, but I'd have to say that my number one right now is an old bottle of Isle of Jura: Superstition. I have a super-taster palate, and the smoky stuff usually makes me cough uncontrollably. I like it, but it isn't the experience I'm after. I've tried some stuff like Pappy Van Winkle, and while interesting, I can't justify the prices. Stalk & Barrel are doing some interesting things, and Last Straw Distillery was at the booth next to me last year. I really enjoyed their corn whisky. Both of those are outside Toronto. If you haven't tried any of the Japanese whiskies yet, do yourself a favour and pick one up. Here's an example of some of the bottles I picked up after a show to make lamps with.

Remember when we had a FOUR dollar bill?

... and adding a $12 cover charge because they've "got some catching up to do." #WTF
