I don't think I'd do it every day, but I sure do love McDonald's and Taco Bell. But then there's that level of guilt.. the fat, cholesterol, additives, etc. But what if it were healthy? Would you eat fast food a lot more? Daily? What's your favorite fast food joint? 🍟🌮🍔

Best Bottled Water in your opinion
melanie_marie27 replied to melanie_marie27's topic in Forum Games & Fun
Yep-yep Fiji would have been my second choice. In fact, I alternate between the two. When they only have the Voss in the plastic water bottles 😝 that's when I go for the Fiji. The bottle reminds me of being on vacation. 🌴🌺 -
Movies you ALWAYS watch when you see them on TV

Wow, Heatman.. you know what? I can't say I've heard of ANY of these ^ you've listed. I might just have to check some of them out. Thanks! -

I love the Scary Movie series - they're great. Especially around Halloween. Great choices 👍👍 -
No prob! And good luck. Any further questions, feel free to ask. I only know freshwater fishkeeping, but boy, do I know it. 😉

Ha my Dad's the same. If Shrek is on, you can bet he has it on. I always hear it playing in his room. -
Do you get annoyed when people play loud music while driving?
melanie_marie27 replied to ZandraJoi's topic in Music
Me too! Fast cars.. even old Mustangs or my fave - Corvettes. My very first car was a white Corvette. In high school. 😁 You can imagine the fun.. -
IMO the best thing you could do if you'd like to get into fishkeeping would be to get/adopt a Betta fish. Have you ever seen them in stores, living in shallow, dirty cups of water (because they must remain separated).. it's horrendous - the conditions they are kept in. Get yourself one Betta, they don't require much work at all. Put it in a small/medium plastic tank, do manual water changes (1/2) at a time maybe only twice a week. Put beautiful plants and ornaments in the tank and feed it Betta bites or canned blood worms. Just saving one of these beautiful fish will bring you such happiness - and they will live a happy, content life, esp being taken out of the awful living conditions they are being kept in at stores, including big market stores like Walmart and Meijer. A great place to start, easy maintenance, and the 2 of you would be so happy. A double-rescue on both parts. 🐟 💙💙 Beautiful fish, lovely long tails. They only live 2-3 years but you sure could make them happy years, for both of you. 🙂 Just a suggestion. I've rescued so many in my lifetime... too many to count!

And I'm talking the good old-fashioned black and white newspaper delivered to your door.. Nowadays, it seems people turn to the Internet, their phones, the news, or even social media for the latest updates on pretty much anything. The Macomb Daily keeps calling our house. I suspect they are slowly going out of business. What about you guys - anyone still get the daily/weekly paper?

Songs that quickly make you change the channel
melanie_marie27 replied to melanie_marie27's topic in Music
I agree. Pop music is pretty good as long as it's more from the old days like you said, Brit and MJ.. and Jessica Simpson sings a great one called "Where you Are" .. I remember it so well. Today's pop is blah, never listen to it. -

melanie_marie27 replied to melanie_marie27's topic in Music
Got it. So no 90's except for 2 exceptions? I live for 90's music 🎶🎶 almost all 90's. But I do appreciate some 80's rock as well. More late 80's, like the big-timers Alice Cooper, Quiet Riot.. Thanks Blackangel -

That's what my brother says too. He has Sirius and he has it set on one of 2 channels - 90's (love it) and Tropical/Jimmy Buf. 😝 Can't stand his music except for Come Monday. -
The casino itself is a fun place to go, but for me, it's more about just chillin and getting dressed up to have a fun place to hang out .. kinda like a bar or club. Actually, it has many bars/clubs right inside. My uncle takes me sometimes and he LOVES to play the slots (he loves to gamble in general, esp. scratch-offs) and I just tag along because it's something fun to do. And you're right, casino always comes out the winner in the end, but my uncle will still take his chances. He's not some huge gambling addict or anything 😂 but I will say he can easily walk away from smoking, alcohol, happy pills, whatever... But he does struggle walking away from casinos and scratch-offs.

Best way to set up a PC + desk + comp chair
melanie_marie27 replied to melanie_marie27's topic in PC
Haha!! How big is the door? Like a standard-sized door? Believe it or not, I was even considering a small, wooden picnic table. But no back support. 😕 Would be kinda cool though.. put a little lantern in the center... Thanks Kane -

melanie_marie27 replied to melanie_marie27's topic in PC
😯 ^^ These are perfect! I love how compact they are and don't hog up an entire area of a small room. Thanks so much! Especially for the pics. I need to show these to my mom. -
You know those movies you rarely think about, you never order, yet, when they're on TV, they somehow become extra-special and you refuse to change the channel.. I have a few, and yes, most of them are classics. Twister Urban Cowboy Monster's Ball The entire Halloween series (except H-3) Blair Witch Steel Magnolias Unfaithful Revenge Twilight 😝😬 (I know) Titanic Independence Day Bad Santa ...and I'm sure there are many others. Which TV movies are keepers for you? 🙂
-
In many ways, it has. But there's still something fun about going out to the movie theater and doing things the old-fashioned way. I think even teens having the option to "Netflix and chill" 🙄😂 eventually realize how boring and monotonous it can become. Going to the show with a group of friends or even on a first date - there's just something classic about it. And classic never goes out of style. 😉

My vote goes for Voss! There's something so cool and sleek about that tall glass bottle. And the water tastes great. Actually, the water tastes like... water. Not too sweet, or salty, or electrolyte-y. Just clean, crisp water. Which bottled water is your fave? And why?
-
That sounds like so much fun. I love underwater anything. I've been into fishkeeping for over 20 years now (freshwater). Right now I have 1 big Oscar fish (very difficult fish to care for, everything needs to be just so) and one Betta. I love Bettas, always seem to have one. At one point, I had 10 of them, all lined up on my dresser in separate tanks, of course.

Does anybody here still watch Will & Grace?
melanie_marie27 replied to melanie_marie27's topic in Movies & TV
If you do ever get around to catching a rerun or better yet ordering one, make sure you check out the episode called "Nice in White Satin" .. Karen has to go to the doctor for a physical and the doc is Jack Black. Need I say more??!! BEST one. ⚕️ 🤣- 3 replies

Which is better? Everybody Loves Raymond or Friends?
melanie_marie27 replied to melanie_marie27's topic in Movies & TV
I know, they were all so very perfect-looking weren't they 😂 I was just noticing that the other night when it was on (Nick @ Nite) - which is the home to Friends reruns. Forever. -
How much are you willing to spend on a smart phone ?
melanie_marie27 replied to kingpotato's topic in Mobile
It's awful, I know. Right now I have two $40 Androids which have been pretty reliable in all honesty.. but the iPhones ($$$)...mine died but still comes back to life every now and then. Would love to get a new one, NOT a used one (made that mistake once before/phone had all kinds of problems.) I'm not willing to spend anything on an iPhone as of right now, I'm on the hunt for new laptop deals. 😉 -
I didn't like anything about it. For starters, we already used the gym for cheerleading practice after school and ALL summer...so I was already fed up with the gym. And any sports that I didn't want to learn about or participate in, like dodgeball, basketball, even running laps - again, our coach made us run outside at the beginning of every practice, so I hated to run extra for gym. What did you dislike most about gym class? And why should we even be graded on it?

When you're driving in the car and you can't wait to change the song because the second you hear it you're like NOPE I can name 3: Love Shack - B 52's Halo - Beyonce Hero - Enrique Iglesias --> Let me be your hero *whispers* Ew 😝😂 How about you?

I've always had a Dell, 2 of them and this last one I have here (it's actually my niece's) is also Dell. In your opinion, which is the cheapest yet most reliable? I am looking to get a new laptop or Chromebook by the end of the month. No more squinting and stressing out my neck typing on this phone. Thanks!
