Are you sure you aren’t a gamer? No wait “How embarrassing.” So no. Some of my gamer friends do this a lot. With no shame. And not just to me. The epic moochers err forgetful ones do this when the time comes to check out and pay the hotel bill at huge gaming cons. My one felon friend did this Three Times to his friend Rob. Sucker. Conan does the whole Wimpy thing even to his coworkers back in the day. Librarians do not make much money. He still tries it with me sometimes. Nope. “I’ll Gladly Pay You Tuesday For A Hamburger Today” https://www.soundthemidnightcry.com/life_church_of_lafayette_/2015/08/ill-gladly-pay-you-tuesday-for-a-hamburger-today.html

Not a gamer, but I played Team Fortress long ago on Steam. I was a camper, sniper, or medic infecting snipers. Lol

Thanks and will do. 
Pity. Oh yeah seasoned one of the fajita pans and made some garlic mashed last night. Somehow there was enough left for One potato pancake frying up now on the pan. Just flipped it and the one side is a gorgeous golden brown. Later I think I will fry up some bacon and then sear the hell out of the lidl scallops I have defrosting. Must remember to open all doors to give the smoke places to go. Have you deployed your pan yet?

Haha - yes the pan needs to be deployed so it can execute the lovely creation @Respectfully_Declined is sure to carry out for it’s maiden voyage. Sounds so militaristic, but give it it’s marching orders and pop open the champagne!

Agreed. Ya hear us Repectfully? Wow the internet is on fire tonight for bad reasons but still. Even the wiccans are showing up. Got to read a lovely post and when I replied a commenter responded with “Blessed Be”. #faints. Members of my lidl fb group are discussing the habits of old money as opposed to new money which I would be terrified to chime in on. Although I have plenty of thoughts. It seems to me that taboos are being broken right now and I find this refreshing. Here is part of the post I so admire: " Ladies,
Depending on where your spirituality resides, you may be familiar with the concept of The Crone, The Mother and The Maiden.
I am now a Crone. I am very happy to be one. Crones age into being teachers and guides, with life gained wisdom to share with the younger. We are content there. We pass the torch of many things to the younger and let them forge their worlds.
What people don’t understand is that there are situations where the Crone will rise again and stand in front of the Maidens and the Mothers". Wow. There is more of course which took my breath away.

It’s hard to be a wise old crone when the younger generation knows everything already! Not speaking generally, but specifically about the DD’s.

I have tried bacon, seared scallops. a potato pancake and some fajita vegetables too. Right now I am making thinly sliced red potatoes slow cooking so I can pick my black raspberries while they slowly pan roast. Mine have the plastic handles so when I do a little pizza later I sure hope I remember to remove the red plastic nanny guards. Melted plastic in the oven would be bad.

Cannot dispute that but maybe it has always been that way. Shrug. What are DDs? I am sure I am missing something obvious here. Still very nice chatting with you today.

Just a guess, but I think it may be short for “the Dear Daughter’s generation”, similar to your mention of your Constant Dining Companion as “CDC”?

Can’t I just be a regular person? Do I need to fit into one of only three categories?

Was thinking that but I have learned not to make assumptions so gonna wait for a reply.
Are there any regular people? You have given me something to think about.
Reminded me of a (probably decades old) CH post about “women being the heart and soul of the kitchen.” And I replied that I really would prefer to be the head and the hand. Those three categories of women revolve around their stages of reproduction: pre-, mid-, post-. I like to think there’s more to me than that.

Are you sure those aren’t silicone slip on handle guards?
If they are silicone then they are safe in the oven to a certain temperature.

And this is why I never post about Wiccans. I am not Wiccan myself. So tempted to post the rest of the quote but I don’t want to offend anyone. Did not think about reproduction when I read this post yesterday and I am not sure that is what the post means. Last time I posted on another sandbox I was told that “blessed be” was a literary quote from the Handmaiden’s Tale. It is not. The mod closed the post to comments. Ugh. Giving up now I think. I am sorry if I offended you somehow.
You didn’t offend me. I’m just expressing my desire to not be pigeon-holed based on my ability to procreate. And I don’t think this has anything to do with Wiccans. The sentiment you passed along is hardly specific to them.
