@seekjustice I think ham and pineapple pizza is the original “Hawaiian pizza” which was invented in Canada.  Hawaiians say it’s not Hawaiian pizza. 😉  But I believe yes, it is fairly common in America.  I’ve personally never had it, because we don’t eat ham.

Um…do you have pineapple on burgers?  I’ve had pineapple with a lot of meats befo…[Read more]

@seekjustice 😛

Do you have Traditional Medicinals tea in Australia?

I have a huge sweet tooth, so I use honey. 😉  Hibiscus tea doesn’t need much honey because it’s sweet already, and I could drink it without, but like I mentioned, I have a sweet tooth. 😛  The honey is mostly for when I have a sore throat, though.

Ha.  I’m one of the only on…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha, your “catchphrase” reminds me that I just read a book where a character said “wowly-wow” and a male one at that so I feel quite justified in allowing Derek to say it in my western. 😛

Procrastinating is one of the most fun things to do, isn’t it?

Hm, you’re right, I don’t think we have. 😀  I mostly drink tea when I’m sick, a…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hello yourself!  How are you doing?  What are you working on?

@warrenluthor04 I’m sorry I missed you!

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 @valtmy Is anyone around?  I’m writing now.

@jenwriter17 I think there are a couple of Women’s sidesaddle clubs in England.  Yes, I guess it’s a lot more dangerous than sitting astride, but of course women used to jump with sidesaddles all the time.  I’d love to go on an old fashioned fox hunt with a red riding coat and a side saddle.  It’s a Maryland thing, after all. 😉

Thanks, I hope so…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Thanks.

Oh, cool.  I’d love to ride.  I’ve only ridden a couple of horses my entire life.  Is the horse show English style?  (Horse shows are English and rodeos are Western, right?) If I ever had a horse I’d want to have a sidesaddle. 😛

@jenwriter17 I’m doing okay.  A little sick from a cold I had yesterday, but getting better.  School…fine, I guess.  I’m a bit behind in my studies, but hope to catch up soon. 😉

How about you?

@jenwriter17 Are you still here?

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 @valtmy Is anyone around?  I’m working now.

@seekjustice @valtmy And I do not drink beet juice or put pickled beets on my hamburgers.  I have them on salad.

I would not be averse to trying beets on hamburgers, though.  If I remember to do so I’ll let you know what I think.

@valtmy Oh…have you ever been to an American “Chinese” restaurant?  (The fake kind.)

@valtmy But even American Asian restaurants are often “Americanized” and contain all fried and sugared food as well.  You’ve got to go to an authentic Asian restaurant to get good food. 😉

I prefer Italian, usually, or Middle Eastern.  What about you?

@seekjustice Haha, I have to admit that American food is known for being all fried, salted, and sugared far beyond the tastes of normalcy, and with reason.  We make fun of it ourselves, though. 😉  A lot of people don’t eat fast food much, but it is a real thing.

Wait…there are people who don’t eat pb&j???  Are you serious?  Wow.  Have you ever…[Read more]

@seekjustice 😛

The question is…what are American culinary tastes?  We have such a mixture here, since we’re a melting pot of all nations. 😉

What particular tastes do they think the general population has that are worth maligning?

@ariel-ashira Thanks, I’m glad you like my poems. 🙂 I didn’t mean my poems are bad.  I meant that they don’t have themes or deep meanings.  They are meant simply to entertain – to make people laugh – to be light, fluffy, airy creatures which don’t make you think about the meaning of life.

And while a lot of people, including myself, love to r…[Read more]

@seekjustice What type of tartan do you wear?  (The different ones mean different things, right?)

Haha, I’m an amazing procrastinator too! 😀

@seekjustice I got notified this morning of a random post from you about sewing lacy petticoats…

I think you meant to tag @valtmy 😉 I was very confused for a bit!  Actually I got on KP expecting to see a hilarious picture of a quite ruined lace petticoat sort of like this:

I hope you’ve been able to figure out how to complete the project…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Oh, and every time I read your title I start singing “It’s a Big, Wide, Wonderful World.” 😛

@jenwriter17 I like it!

Your poem has a much better chance of getting accepted by SE than any of mine do, because yours has meaning, while all mine are silly, empty comic poems. 😛  So congratulations on that! 😀

I don’t know much (anything 😉 ) about free verse, so I can’t give you a lot of suggestions.  There are a couple of lines that don’t q…[Read more]
