Can you imagine if everyone on this thread lived on the same street, and by common agreement, we all met once a week like in a block party!

I can picture scenes like old time western fistfights!

There would be scowling over 1 brought a ceramic dish w non lead paint on it to rewash after the gathering.

Another brought a paperplate that he intended to use to start the evening fire to heat his home later that night.

Another brought a bright plastic plate which he was very proud of, because it most closely matched his car's paint color, and he intended to mount it as an aero wheel
cover.

Another brought his food jumbled together in a big clear plastic bag, which he was proudly thinking that after this meal, he will have washed it, and re-used it 200 times.

But nobody shared their private ideas, and instead made ASSUME AL A CARTE thoughts about everybody else.

It is easy to mis-communicate, one wrong can start wars, it seems.

Like when I started this thread, I used cheap instead of economical, and we see where that went!

This has been interesting, but I hate to see it reduced to almost a name calling
mis-fire!

Lively is great, but can we still be civil?

If a ray of question of statement; ask for clarification. We don't always know the other's mind, except maybe for 2 is see that scuffle a lot on here!

So we weight the pollution of the smoke from the paperplate versus how much soap
it takes to wash the ceramic, plastic plates, and the plastic bag.

How much hot water did they use, and is their soap "green approved"???

What is your tolerance level for obnoxious attitudes, versus strongly confident
ones that just seem wrong?

How do we balance all of this? I enjoy you guys! Aloha for now!
