My boyfriend hates bananas, but then his tastes are pretty much "if it's healthy, I hate it" so his judgement is somewhat biased. I like them, but they aren't my favorite...my current favorite is blackberries since I have a blackberry bush just outside the porch door. The darn things grow wild and spread like crazy, but the berries are very nice. I expect when they are gone, peaches will be my favorite.
Oh my! Blackberries are my faaaaave berries. They're so expensive at the market, too. >:[ They come in such small baskets, but I eat them all in one sitting. :0
My fave fruit is probably nectarine. Ahhh deliciousss.
And bananas aren't bad at all. I eat them just like any other fruit.
Fruits I don't like include green melon, melon, pineapple, and TOMATO. *ick*
I feel like I'm typing up some compatibility profile. :lol:
Coffee milk is pretty traditional is some cultures though...its common in, or at least where my family is, to give kids coffee milk...its more milk than coffee.Quote:

She also put a little chocolate in, where she grew up there was a local 'hot' chocolate 'factory', Rey Amargo...yummy...with my dads she would mix a little tequila,haha:DQuote:

All this talk of fruit! When i was a kid i used to go to wexford every summer and we'd go blackberry picking! I loved it! We'd end up picking so much we'd have it with everything! We'd still be eating the jam by the next summer. And thinking of wexford always makes me think of gooseberry jam and the strawberry fair. Best gooseberries and strawberries in Ireland are wexford ones!
Oh, well we don't start until 8-10 anyways...most of the time at least...I LOVE GOOSEBERRIES! I was up in the Redwoods in CA, we picked wild gooseberries and salmon berries and ate them there!! I'm not sure if we should have but oh well!!Quote:

what are salmon berries and Kumquats?
Ya know, I'm not sure what salmon berries are...well I know what they look like, but I don't know if it was a good idea to eat...well they are these red/pink, yellow if unripe, berries that grow on this bush...they look like salmon eggs bunched together. Kumquats are ittybitty orange looking things that are pretty sour...yummy!![ATTACH]Attachment 1111[/ATTACH]Quote:

That was a long time ago) and the Bluebells (I love bluebells. Don't know why. The colour, the shape, the smell maybe because they pop up every spring, even now though there's very few now) and that lovely one with the little clusters of white flowers (I don't know it's name, had a lovely smell though) there was a wall there and I could climb up and sit on it and look into the neighbor’s garden. Wow. I haven't thought of that for years, it was so long ago. It's all different now. I've started clearing some of the blackberries, they were getting close to my cat's grave. There's one thing I won't tolerate and that's thorns smothering him. I don't want to take all of the blackberries down though because our birds like to eat them.Quote:

Now coffee, personally I hate it. So do my parents though my dad will eat coffee sweets while mum and I won't. But mum drinks tea. She's addicted I say. She has a headache if she doesn't have her tea in the morning. I've never liked tea and my dad hates it too. But the thing is I'll happily drink Coca-Cola but mum won't I'm not sure about dad, he probably would though.
ThankS! those Kumquats look very nice!Quote:

I haven't eaten any since we moved from San Diego. Our neighbour had the kumquat plant in her backyard and would bring us baskets of them every few months!!! Its been like 4 yrs now!! :(Quote:

I've never had a kumquat...it sounds interesting.
I too have never had a kumquat, but have heard of them and now want to taste one,they look yummy!Quote:

It's been a while since I saw anyone replying in this thread...it's nice to see you girls again here :D :D
yes! Lets have tea and coffee! I need to wake myself up!
Same here...lol...it's weird, cuz I had enough sleep last night, and now I'm in the middle of a very interesting article that I'm reading...
Have you ever fell asleep while reading?! lol
:lol: yeah but thats because i refused to go to sleep until i read more of the book but my body won that battle!
:lol: I do the same thing, the thing is, I usualy read while I'm in bed, which doesn't help, cuz sometimes I end up reading like two lines, and then fall asleep, so I end up NOT reading what I wanted to read, and falling asleep when I didn't wanna sleep cuz I wanted to read...did that make ANY sense?! :lol:
Now, I woke up like two hours ago..and I'm reading something while I'm sitting here..STILL I feel sleepy...grrrr...lol
:lol: Reading and sleeping wow that reminds me of college days:p
You sleep whenever you are reading. Now I am reading everything while sitting down on my computer with a cup of coffee. It is better,just try it
:lol: I hear you Nossa! Thw thing is my bed is my second most frequented place for reading.(first is the bus) Sometimes i get so comfortable that is just go "a i think i'll have forty winks."
thats exactly why e-books will never be able to help me :lol: they cant be read while lying in bed, and so cant be my cup of tea.
i hardly read anywhere else except my bed.
Exactly! I prop myself up with loads of cusions and pillows, and have a tray of goodies and tea to drink and munch while i read. My mam says that sometimes it gets so quiet that she cant tell whether or not i'm asleep or reading intensely.
Oh I LOVE Ebooks..:D I have tons of them.
But the again, you can read them on your laptop in bed :lol: There's not escape! :lol:
It's just that then whole bed, and lamp on the nightstand, and some music from the radio..and maybe a cup of whatever to drink..the whole atmosphere is great..except for the sleeping during reading part of course :lo:
:lol: My mom does the same..but my mother has the habbit of opening the room's door FBI style...she literaly makes me jump of the bed...:lol:Quote:

^^ Gosh, I SO hear you Madhuri. I'm normaly also in my room in my down times..I NEVER, and I mean NEVER, cry in front of my mother (or anyone else for that matter). The only difference is that, my mother rarely notices that something is wrong...I don't know if it's cuz I'm 'that' good, or maybe she does't pay that much attention..but it's a good thing, I don't like showing my emotions...not that I think it's some sort of weakness, but it's something personal, ya know, something I like keeping for myself.
The last time I openly cried in front of my mother (the last time to date that she's had to comfort me) was shortly after my cat died. If I remember properly (Which I don't really) I started crying but I can't remember what set it off. I think, though I'm probably confusing it with another incident, but I think I might have slipped on the stairs. I can't remember it that clearly but I remember it was on the stairs that she had to hug me because I was crying so much. It wasn't because I was hurt. I loved that cat. He'd have been thirteen last Christmas. That was nearly a year ago now.
Normally I just bottle everything up and it kind of sneaks out sometimes when I'm on my own. It never lasted long. I don't think I've been quite the same since Henry (the cat) died. But if I cry around mum (usually during a sad film or something), I still like to hide it. I guessed I was just strange like that.
Oh goodness. If there's one person I'll cry to, it's my mom. I know she'll just hug me and let me get it out, no matter how much I cry or snot or drool into her shoulder.
:lol: they'd be the reasons why my mam would not!Quote:

I've just had a small fight with mom over the TV :D :D :D lmao
I was watching a program, and she remembered that there was a movie on that she wanted to watch...and gosh, it's SO lame, I know! :lol:
I don't like feeling helpless in front of people, I guess, and that's how I feel when I'm trapped in a hug. I want to escape. It's strange because I like hugs. I don't like attention focused on me. So I guess I don't show my emotions.
:lol: This happens a lot with me too. I don't know why she HAS to watch ALL the soaps one after another. And, the only time I can watch anything is during the commercial break :rolleyes: :lol:Quote:

my mother is still trying to learn how to turn the tv on :) she usually breaks it and i end up having to fix it.
^^ Lucky you!! My mom fights with me over the TV and the computer...and she usually ends up by getting us a virus on the computer..and then blames it on me :sick:
And I DO have the remotes normaly, but it takes more than that to stop my mother :lol:
