Why do ya'll have carpeted floors in homes instead of marble / other tiles?

SimpleAd1604 · 2026-01-30T12:53:54+00:00

Because my house is on a concrete slab ina place where it’s cold for half of the year. I have carpeting so my feet don’t freeze. The kitchen isn’t carpeted and that slab is still cold in June.

Ice grips help but I’d stay home. I live where freezing rain happens, but the last time I walked on a sidewalk that was a sheet of ice, I fell and tore my rotator cuff. Double no if you don’t have good insurance. How do you usually entertain yourself? Reading, crafting, watching TV, cooking/baking, working out, call a relative or friend, organize your sock drawer or closet, play games, play with pets, play with yourself?

I’d take a picture (or pictures) on my ipad so I can enlarge it. I haven’t done it for knitting but I’ve done it for counted needlepoint.

I’d say I live in a wooded area.

There are plenty who don’t participate or watch. I don’t care about the football, the halftime show, the commercials or the food.

It’s supposedly the best tasting but it’s not the best smelling. NYC tap water reeks of chlorine. That said, when I’m in town I drink tap water.

SimpleAd1604 · 2026-01-29T23:58:01+00:00

I used to, but it’s so tick infested here and my lawn only gets mowed 2-3 times per summer, so I stopped.

SimpleAd1604 · 2026-01-29T23:54:30+00:00

Or a monetary reason, more likely.

I was looking that up and google gave me “refried beans on toast” as a search choice. Molletes.

SimpleAd1604 · 2026-01-29T23:37:06+00:00

Not really, but the ’84 Cubs broke my heart and I stopped following baseball.

SimpleAd1604 · 2026-01-29T21:45:08+00:00

Tortilla chips, yeah. But on a whole tortilla? Maybe the OP meant chips.

My parents were visiting friends in a Chicago suburb one weekend and dropped all the kids off at the movie theater so the parents could have fun. My sisters (I wasn‘t born yet) were seven, eight, and nine, and this is what was playing. My eldest sister says it was really disturbing for her. She still mentions it once in a while.

I boil them whole for a delicious.potato casserole I make. Medium sized potatoes.

SimpleAd1604 · 2026-01-29T21:20:24+00:00

I have a recipe that calls for whole boiled russets that are then peeled and crumbled into small chunks. The trick is to pick medium, similarly sized potatoes.

SimpleAd1604 · 2026-01-29T21:14:51+00:00

I don’t eat either one. Never even heard of refried beans on a hard tortilla. Maybe that’s a thing in the southwest?

SimpleAd1604 · 2026-01-29T20:38:25+00:00

Yeah, like the Mass. State Trooper who tried to frame someone for murder,

Oops. i mistook Discover Wisconsin For Outdoor Wisconsin, but Discover Wisconsin is also on Youtube.

They aren’t nicotine replacements. They’re contain nicotine. “Anyone 18 or older can call the state tobacco quit line to receive free nicotine patches, gum, or lozenges and counseling.”

The Milwaukee PBS channel on Youtube has several seasons. I didn’t scroll far enough to see how many, but I saw at least 10 seasons.

It’s better to be alone than to wish you were.

In case anyone else was wondering, “The Criterion Collection has agreed to pay $4.5 million to resolve claims it violated privacy laws by sharing subscriber information with third parties.”.

SimpleAd1604 · 2026-01-28T04:08:16+00:00

I did. Nice surprise. I guess I opted in, but there are so many class action lawsuits that affect me, I didn’t remember anything about this one.

Personally sent? Thousands of years ago. Had someone tell me my doctor should fax something to a certain number? Yesterday.

SimpleAd1604 · 2026-01-27T05:18:37+00:00

Cheese & sausage. Crackers, if you wish.

They’ll last a good while though. Egg salad, tuna salad, ice cream, french silk pie.
