I am so disgusted. I wanted to eat a snack today and decided to cut up some strawberries. I had just grabbed one strawberry from the clear plastic box it came in and sliced one open horizontally when there it was, a dead black...

Max Crisp @MarieCoyle I love the mandarin oranges too. They are about 80p/$1 per tin/can, but it’s a smaller can than the rest of the fruits like peaches and apricots. Any type of orange is variable in quality, but the tinned is consistent. The only fresh fruit I buy is...

While the photo is a play on the title (my hamburger buns warming up in the skillet), there’s one thing that I absolutely cannot live without anymore: heated seats in the car. Heck, I have that thing on (temporarily, of course)...

Max Crisp @FourWalls Just to complicate the GARAGE pronunciation. If you watch this link, I pronounce it the 2nd “British” way. https://youtu.be/5LnYDnxy8LI?si=AlkFKEtXyjw941DN

I have always enjoyed Sigourney Weaver's acting ever since I first saw her in "Ghost Busters". I often wonder about her first name. I had never seen it before. Come to find out that at the age of 14, she changed her name of...

Max Crisp @lilacskies You are definitely not a terrible writer. Not even a poor writer. Sounds like you were at the school of hard knocks. There have been plenty of schools here that have been exposed for bullying and abusing children, so it’s not unique to the US. In...

Max Crisp @lilacskies That’s me showing my age! Hey, sorry if I’m jumping on things that make you feel uncomfortable. It’s hard to be public and private at the same time. I hope you forgive me.

Max Crisp @lilacskies Well, I’m am not patronising you here, but your written English on here is excellent. Being called stupid certainly doesn’t help. I think teachers who do that are cruel and shouldn’t be teaching. You probably just needed a bit extra help, or...

Max Crisp @lilacskies I know. You mentioned “sneakers”, so I just burst into song. I like to have at least two of everything, in case something happens to one. And if I’m clothes shopping, I get a few t-shirts, or jeans, etc, that I like, in case next time...

Max Crisp Are you blonde then, @lilacskies? You’re certainly not dumb. I find you very articulate and smart. I think Marilyn Monroe had a lot to do with stereotyping blondes, and she wasn’t even a true blonde!

Max Crisp @MarieCoyle To be honest, I mainly eat tinned fruit these days. It’s quite cheap and more consistent. There is also none of this cleaning malarkey needed - just open and eat.

Max Crisp @FourWalls I do, I just missed it looking through the list. My bad. It’s often played here as a “kids” record, would you believe, on radio programmes like Junior Choice. Peter, Paul, and Mary, weren’t big over here, but (apart...

Max Crisp @MarieCoyle “Mix one part white vinegar with three parts water, submerge the strawberries, gently rinse them thoroughly” I’ve always wondered what they mean when instructions are given as “wash before eating”. I usually just rinse in running water, but I...

I hate parties of any and all kinds. I am an introvert and stay away from parties unless I absolutely have to go due to family obligations. For instance, it's my niece's birthday today. She is turning 5. I have had her present...

Max Crisp @lilacskies It’s a shame that your one safe place isn’t actually safe. You are doing great and I hope you get out of there soon. I think your life will suddenly be much better when you can dictate who you see and when on your own terms. Best wishes!
