Well, Robert, It's clear that you've experienced such things, probably more than once.

Duh???? YEP!!!

The first time we went shopping together, she spent 5 minutes comparing every package of baloney on the rack, at the same store where we both worked, met and got married.

Yesterday I asked for some baloney, hadn't had any in a couple of years. She was going to Sam's to pick up a Rx, 2 hours later she got home. No baloney, "I looked at all of them and I didn't like how they are pink in the center and gray on the outside."

Well, her Mom was a meat cutter at Farmer John's, as a child she was used to getting meats of all kinds so fresh they hadn't had time to change color around the edges. That color change is because the food colors used to make it look nice oxidizes very easily when oxygen gets to it and the outside goes gray first.

Wonderful shot that tells a story that I can relate to, Tom!


Hey, buddy.

I could probably sing a song about stuff like that. But if my wife heard it, I'd be sleeping in the garage that night.

Quick remodel the garage into a "Man Cave", We have two recliners so comfortable I sleep in one almost every night. I am a night owl and stay up reading so I just drift off to sleep instead of waking everyone stumbling upstairs at 2 or 3AM.
Besides, Debra has always favored sleeping on the diagonal because as a kid she was too tall for the kid size beds her family had. She was the youngest and taller than her brothers sister and is only 1/4" shorter than me. She made me wear thick platform sole shoes with heels (disco shoes-remember them) so she wouldn't be taller than me with her heels and tiara/crown at our wedding. I never wore them again and donated them to Good Will.

Thanks, Robert.

You've educated me. I didn't know that about food colors

It is also why most cooked meat turns gray, the cooking oxidizes any food colors and the meat itself even if no food color was used.

Yesterday my wife's steak at Sizzler was brown on the surface, then some gray and juicy red on the inside (cooked rare) while mine was brown and crisp on the outside with gray to the middle (medium well).

I'm not sure. It must have been that boy's choir that was practicing on the curb across the street.


Upon review, I found that I had posted the wrong image of the two I generated. It wasn't an issue of noise, the first image had been over sharpened. The image below is the one I thought I had posted.

I don't hate shopping. In fact, I'm a shopping fanatic myself. I just don't like doing it with the lady folks. With them, there's too much hemming and hawing going on....quick decisions are rarely a part of their shopping experience. But, in all fairness to them, that's mostly related to clothing and appearance items. I'll occasionally go into a food store with my wife. Whiz, bang, and she's ready to leave...while I'm still staggering down the isles, looking for sweets and other stuff that's probably no good for me.
