Lurker > Cleo_II

That was my first thought. But Ill feel it flare up when Im just watching tv, with no apparent stress going on.

Flawless.

I love the series. I snagged the first book a couple years ago on a whim; halfway through it, I ordered the complete set off Amazon, and binged all 14 books in roughly a month.

looks like you gave that crust a good forking

It was their best one, in my humble opinion.

Anyway, your pies look delicious. Good job, Cleo. ^_^

i want to dive into that pie like it was a swimming pool and eat my way out

Are you officially unemployed?

I was at a friend's on Saturday for a pie party.

Which is to say that they're going to enter a pie contest in November and wanted to try out their pies on friends.

I tried a banana peanut butter pie, a honey cream pie, a Chai spice cream pie, and a cherry lime pie. :D

an apple slicer would make that a lot easier.

But so many dishes and pan to wash afterwards :(

How?

Nah. It's just CE always grasping at straws to try and insult California any time possible

Ive been told if im ever in California to avoid the city of Chico

Any merit to that?

You near any wildfires?

How many homeless people do you see shitting on the street

That's true and why I don't even bother trying now, but back when I wasn't a miserable asshole and at least pretended to be mildly happy in life I had no success whatsoever.

No, I don't feel entitled to anything at this point, just commenting on how unequal dating is

How the hell do you season meat?

Might help that you also weren't a jaded douchebag

None, because I was getting nowhere when I was asking them out so why bother?

So all you had to do was look mildly decent

That must have been so hard for you, I'm so sorry

In this regard it shaped itself around Cleo. She never had to ask anyone out, or deal with romantic rejection and the guilt of imposing on others in unwanted ways. The men just came to her.

Fwiw you're responding to ROD, who's one of the biggest incels here

Yeah, THE ENTIRE TOPIC, huh? More like, my last post, you know, after you suggested I was faking being nice to get in your pants or whatever fantasy you played out in your head.

See, you can dish it out but you can't take it. Why are you being so hostile to me, anyway? You clearly started

Do you even know what the "nice guy" meme is? Someone who fakes being nice to get into someone else's pants. Now you're implying I want to get into your pants? Get over yourself.

If by reward you mean not being an ass to me, then yes, I expected a reward. I expect that reward from anyone, man, woman, old, young, pretty, ugly, smart, dumb. If I act in a civilized manner I expect civilized back. It's not too much to ask.

Have fun pretending men drool at the very thought of you 24/7 and assuming everything they do is with an ulterior motive, that will get you FAR in life, lmao.

Don't you forget you came into this topic calling the people ITT defeatists and some shit like that, and them you started calling me "knight in shining armor" too, you had made your mind about this before you even entered the topic. If I had kept taking your abuse I'd have gone from "knight in shining armor" to "fake nice guy" to "emotional manipulator" and another dozen feminist buzzwords, you were pretty much playing the donkey tail game.

I am starting to get the vibe you don't understand mainstream culture. You're not supposed to be antagonistic to people out of nowhere. And people with manners expect the same courtesy, it's not some sick sexual game.

wait, didn't you make a topic about flirting with some young dude at a hotel bar, while being married? WTF LOL.
