All I meant was, you were a certain way, and now you're different. You were actually normal in both cases, from the majority's point of view. From my point of view it's as if I went to sleep one night, and when I woke up I was still the same, but everybody else had changed. Everybody looked exactly the same, but they weren't really THEM anymore... and they were all munching on cilantro.

I don't mean to offend. Hate the cilantro, love the cilantro eater - that's my motto. I'm no cilantrophobe or anti-Cilantrite. I do wish You People would stop trying to shove your hidden cilantro agenda down my throat though.

EricM407: As one noob to another, I just want to say, I think you're gonna fit in great around here! That was hilarious!

I hardly ever criticize someone's eating habits. Note my earlier post about not eating fruit or vegetables; I don't dare call other people's eating habits weird.

I couldn't live without fruits or vegetables.... okay that's a like. i would be a happy carnevour, but since I have the choice, I'll stay an omnivour.

It could have been an overreaction on my part, or bad wording on your part. There was no context of "not normal for me", only a context of "not normal period".
Either way, I appreciate the clarification.

We're Ohioans, I thought we were about as sterotypically normal as it gets?

Back on the topic of fruit stickers; I've never really had a problem with them before. Of course, now that we've been talking about it, they apparently decided to strike back (but I'm innocent, I swear!). My kiwi this morning refused to give up thier stickers. Was annoying but didn't make a difference, as the hairy kiwi skin wasn't the part I was interested in eating anyway But it still made me laugh.

I worked my way through college as a clerk in a grocery store. I could identify all the apples, and memorized the item codes for each of them.

In the old days, we had this thing called "learning." I'm not so good at it any more, but it is a skill that sometimes comes in handy.

I say we push for equal rights for produce.

If any produce has stickers, then all produce should have stickers.

Stickers for every grape, grape tomato, green bean, mushroom, and so one.

It's useful for us weirdos that use the self-checkout lanes. Although my wife has most of the codes memorized now. If it weren't for the built-in delay as it does the anti-theft weighing of the items as you bag it, she'd be faster than a lot of the cashiers.

I'm still getting over my amazement at people putting the stickers down the drain. Um, what's wrong with the trash can? Ok, three steps away maybe, are we that lazy of a culture? (Don't answer that.)

I wonder if most of it is the stuff you peal. Two words... Garbage Disposal.

010110001, thank you so much for addressing this problem. (Did I spell your name right?) I calculate that I will spend 10 hours of the rest of my life peeling off these labels and properly disposing of them. And I'm not a young person. And that's assuming I don't start washing the apple first which makes it more difficult to get the label off, and also assuming that the label has the little non-sticky tab without which it's even more difficult to peel off. Such encroachments on our productivity are serious matters. (I'm writing this on my lunch hour.)

If it were up to me, I would just buy bagged apples. But my wife, bless her heart, insists on picking out the best quality apples for me. I can't repudiate her love like that, so have no choice but to go on peeling labels.

Well, the heading of this section is "Babbling".

That rings true.

I can't believe I did that.

On second thought, yes I can.

I just had to chime in. Hope I didn't strike a sour note.

(Uhhh... Is there a pun involving the word "harpsichord"? Cause I really can't think of one.)

It would probably end up rotten anyway.

I'm afraid these puns are going to have a very negative effect on my sense of humor. I tell enough bad jokes as it is.
