Birthday Answers

(For my birthday, I asked for Ask Me Anything Questions. I got so many wonderful ones. I'm answering them in entries from here until I get to the end. If you think of something you want to ask, just leave a comment or a note. Deadline is totally not a thing.)

2. Is there any big thing you'd still like to experience/accomplish in the future?

Not really. I’m pretty disgustingly content with what I have and have done. Since I have far less future than past, I can only hope not to fuck it up.

3. What taste don't you like?

Coconut, beets, and lima beans (or butter beans, depending on what part of the country you are in) although the latter is more of a texture thing.

I'm with you on lima beans. Ew.

I have found that while i do not like pickled beets, I do like fresh roasted beets. Have you tried them both? They don't even taste like the same food. I also do not care for lima beans...I agree...texture. barfo.

Ick. Coconut. Not my favorite either.

I think being pretty content with what you have and what you've done is a pretty amazing place to be!

I hate beets too

[maju01.livejournal.com]

I used to hate beets until I tasted my son in law's roasted beets. So delicious!

Wow! I hate all those tastes, too.

:) we should have a club

[gneu.livejournal.com]

And what would we do? Petition to have those foods removed from public access?

[susandennis]

nah, that seems a little extreme... ok. no club

I'm with you on the lima/butter beans.

A while back, I went over my parent's house, and my mom made me dinner. I picked out the lima beans and ate the rest.

"Why don't you eat the lima beans?"

"Because they're not food."

"COME ON, RICH!!"

In case you haven't already responded to a similar question - what was it like being a woman in tech in the early days? Did you experience harassment? Mansplaining? Being mistaken for a secretary?
