Compulsive list-makers, show me what you've got. |
|
I'm afflicted with the inability to NOT make lists. If I lose a list, I feel completely disorganized. You who can go without; count yourselves lucky. Here are 3 random lists:
Top 10 Foods:
1.Devilled eggs 2.Cold meatloaf sandwiches 3.Crab Rangoon 4.Olivieh in a pita 5.Beef chimichanga at South of the Border 6.My father's corned beef spread 7.Spanakopita at Mariakakis 8.Scrambled eggs & cream cheese on a bagel 9.Spaghetti with butter 10.Havari alongside strawberries
Things to do:
Make bed Call Dan Call Dani Snuggle with Cat
(vacuum eventually)
Ways to tell freepers "shut up":
Keep it precious Silence is golden Less is more Shut your cakehole Shut your piehole Shut up Hush Silence Stop talking Stop sharing Bag it Can it Enough said Save it Cool it Choke on it Quiet End of discussion Hold your fire Spare me Give it a rest Wrap it up Stifle it Shush Fermez la bouche Put a sock in it Put a lid on it Clam up Go tell it on the mountain Kill the noise Say no more Shut your trap Keep it a mystery I don't want to hear it Are you done? Gotta run

3. I knew it! I knew there was yet another reason |
|
I loved you! Isn't it odd looking at your life, as you say, "mapped out"? Sincerely beautiful turn of phrase. I had to break back into my office once to retrieve a shopping list and a list of things to do.
Sad. :P
Just one day of unplanned time, but no, I'm a slave to my compulsions!

me too! and i know of at least one other DUer who shares our compulsion, although i don't know to what degree...she's definitely a lister though, oh yes. :D
yes, it is odd, and sometimes a bit stressful...i feel like if i break the schedule, it'll all fall apart! :o
but if i didn't make the list in the first place...oh my, i can't even fathom THAT thought :scared:
damned if i do, damned if i don't, hehe :dilemma:
:P
and btw, if i haven't already, congrats on your relationship happiness!! yay! yay! i'm soooo happy for you two, seriously. :hug:

9. I *just* now started on a grocery list for the holidays. |
|
I haven't had a chance to organize the list yet, but here is what I've written down:
coffee (regular and decaf) mixed nuts for snacking nuts for baking Chex, pretzels, and bagel chips Worcestershire coconut flour, sugar, brown sugar eggs yeast dried fruit egg nog (regular and boozy) wine, Carolan's, gin cinnamon beef roast ground beef and ground pork ham turkey crackers (Ritz, Club, variety of table water crackers) dried cranberries fresh cranberries apple cider cranberry juice potatoes (reds and Yukon Gold plus russets for lefse) bacon & sausage evaporated milk pumpkin squash croutons for stuffing chocolate + other chips for fudge butter apples molasses green beans carrots cream cheese whipping cream lingonberry preserves
The list isn't complete yet. When it is, I'll divide it into perishables/non-perishables, then I'll go through the pantry to see what I already have a good stock of, what I need more of, and what I don't have. The non-perishables I'll stock up on a little at a time beforehand.
I also have a list of treats I plan to make - some for the preschool fundraiser, some for parties, some for gifts, and some to keep around here...
Cookies:
white chocolate cranberry peanut butter cranberry drops cherry-almond chews peanut blossoms molasses crinkles sugar cookie cutouts sandbakkelse spritz cherry-coconut bars rugalach egg nog logs Russian tea cakes
Fudge:
milk chocolate semi-sweet chocolate white chocolate with walnuts
Pie:
pumpkin pumpkin eggnog apple cranberry apple
Those are today's lists.

Your list made me have to catch my breath. That was one eloquent list. You know, I don't think of myself as being, you know, psychic or anything, but I will swear that you were the first person who came to mind when I started this post.
Not only that, I asked nnns who he thought would respond to such a thread (last night) and he said YOU.
I can practically smell the wonderful things cooking in your kitchen soon.

I wish I could have both you and nnns over here for the holiday parties.
I have more holiday-related lists also. Things to do, gift lists, and so forth.
Lists are wonderful!

God, those are great. And I will tell you, asthmaticeog, that we have such an abundance of material from which to play. It's both thrilling and depressing, right?

Thrilling to come up with a ridiculous premise that you can actually work with, depressing when you get to 10 and have to think of something else...

Human Heart 2 3 oz boxes raspberry Jello 2 envelopes gelatin 6 oz canunsweetened evap milk 1/4 cup grenadine red food coloring
Pina Ghouladas 3 T. corn syrup 1/4 red food coloring 40 oz pineapple juice 1 cup heavy cream 2 cups orange juice 20 oz rum large squat pitcher with lid
Sparkling Harvest Punch Equal parts cranberry, apple juice, and club soda (2 cups) Orange juice (1 1/2 cups) (one alcoholic, one non-alcoholic)
Mold and mildew Dip 2 boxes artichoke hearts 1 bunch green onions 10 oz frozen spinach 2 cup grated Parmesan green food coloring

Can I just say, with my deepest regrets that I won't actually be there, it sounds like the BEST party anyone could cook up! The only thing missing is Krissy & my propensity for molding "foil faces" around the unsober & damned! FSC- Have a freaky, wonderful blast!

28. I always have several lists going |
|
Both at work and at home (at work, there's a running joke about how lost I'd be without my clipboard - I'm the ONLY person anyone has ever seen at a grocery store who always carries a clipboard. I have to - all my lists are on it).
I keep a list of every single item I have in the back room of the store (I'm in charge of wine and liquor).
I have a list of items to order and a list of orders from customers.
At home, I have the list of exactly where my money is going for the next four weeks.
The list of things to get done.
The grocery list.
The lists of what foods are in the storage cabinets downstairs.
The list of my book collection (divided up by subject and author).
The list the movie collection.
The list of movies to put on my Netflix queue.
The list of books to get from the library.
The list of books I already have out of the library.
There are quite a few more but this is becoming a list in itself. ~sigh~

36. Here are the bars I've been to in the L.A. area |
|
Edited on Tue Oct-25-05 09:58 PM by gwbsamoron
Gilhooly's Once nestled in a dark corner of May Company. Columbo's A good horn. Topper's Last of the old time Eagle Rock dives. Red Carpet They had a shuffleboard game. E.R. Lanes The Safari Room was the name of the bar. Dragon Old Chinese restaurant with a big bar. Violet's Now Caf Beaujolais All Star Lanes Kind of run down Big O Once an Occidental College football hangout. Gone. Dusty's Dive on York Blvd. Villa Sombrero Good Mexican food; tiny bar. John Bull (Old) The best old British Pub; long gone. John Bull (New) Now a restaurant. LochNess Monster Still going as the Old Towne Pub. Spent a lot of time here. Reuben's Featured dancing in the early 1980's. Monahan's Was a great place for the Lake Ave. business crowd. Handlebars Hard to find beer bar. Good sized dance floor. Manana Quiet fancy Mexican restaurant. Long gone Slik's Dance club atop the Hilton. 1 West Used to feature live music. I don't know what's there now. Prime Time Mid-Pasadena R&B club. Hamburger Hamlet I own stock in this chain Nightwatch Once was Henry's Chicken in a Basket. Gone. Hazel's Only place other than the Loch Ness where I ever saw Snotty Scotty and the Hankies playing. Casa Maria Ritz Grill Black Angus (Monrovia) Gus's Barbecue Saw Robert Reed there. Barney's LTD Romeo's Arriba Billabong Velvet Turtle Dodsworth Now the Cheesecake Factory. Monty's Fannie's The Bar at the Hilton. Italian Fisherman Years ago it was really nice inside. Then they remodeled. They had great food. Parkway Grill Once considered one of the best restaurants in Pasadena. Brown Derby The only restaurant for which I was ever told De Lacey's Club 41 Still a great place for steaks and chops. The Caesar Salad and the Oysters Rockefeller are noteworthy. Charley Brown's Crown City Brewery Vast selection of beers here. Not a bad place to take lunch. Stoney Point Crossbow Inn Arty's Beckham Place Menage Pappagallo Holly St. Bar & Grill CT's Bar & Grill (Alhambra) Cafe Catavino 35er Once a local dive. Remodeled into a more respectable McNamaras Idle Hour Market City Caffe Cal State L.A. Pub I think it was called Union Station. Le Papillon Cafe Rialto Rumors Small dive on Colorado Blvd. Old Timer A neighborhood beer bar. Green Street Tony Roma's Sawmill Bona Corso Family syle Italian restaurant which Mijares Sunset I went there to write a music review for the Pasadena Weekly. McCarthy's Jake's Billiards Sammy's Mi Piace Q's CT's Bar & Grill (Pasadena) Last place I saw Bill "The Fox" Foster perform. Lucky Baldwin's (Old) Burned down Il Fornaio Good Italian restaurant with a long bar. McMurphy's Gordon Biersch Good food Mecca Room Now the busy Louise's Trattoria. Cafe Santorini I've always liked the atmosphere on the balcony. Twin Palms This place is real nice McCormack & Schmicks This fish house used to have some good appetizers.

37. Endless lists -- take up birding |

Edited on Tue Oct-25-05 10:59 PM by Catbird
Many of you probably know that serious birders keep life lists of all the bird species they have ever seen. However, really serious birders (or merely obsessive ones) keep additional lists: year lists, state lists, state year lists, county lists, county year lists, birds heard lists, birds photographed lists, yard birds, day lists, birds seen from cars, birds on TV programs, etc., etc. There are also total ticky lists for geographical regions, which sum up several other lists for subregions. (For example, the sum of all your state lists). In addition to personal counts, there are ample opportunities for group counting.
It helps to be able to identify the birds, but that's not absolutely essential. A database system or specialized software is highly desirable.
Maybe I need a list of birds mentioned on DU.
