Tune in tomorrow, when I try and look even more horrific.

i should take a camera phone shot of myself just after i take off my CPAP mask in the morning. i look like a fscking corpse, and not a fresh one.

I think I just won the Embarrassing Photo Meme. Forever. :D

Actually, as far as I can tell, Like in FB does do something: it's basically an empty comment, so you get notified of new comments that occur after you Like it.
- Mistletoe Glen
@Glen: it's true but what bothers me most is that unlike friendfeed, fb delivers a separate mail for every person that comments on that post. #lame

I would just like to go on record here and clearly state that, were I able to do what this lion is doing, I WOULD NOT! NO! NEVER! EVER! Thank you.

Yau'll are some sick _ucks. Let the King have a private moment for God's sake. Shame on you people. Can't yau'll see he's welcomed in the jungle. He went down south :)
- Jeunelle Foster
People say I'm an extremely picky eater. They confuse my strong revulsion and opinions about certain items as being "picky". That is not my problem. These are the things I won't eat:
Chocolate items I don't make. Total snob about where I get my chocolate from. I won't eat brownies, fudge, chocolate cake or chocolate frosting.
- Admiral Anika
Peanut butter. I'll eat a PayDay, but PB sauces or peanuts in my food = GAG.
- Admiral Anika
Fruity meat dishes. I don't like sweet meats.
- Admiral Anika
Pancakes. This actually is a childhood block. We had to eat them so often when my brother was little because it was the only thing he would eat.
- Admiral Anika
I guess Anika will be taken to a restaurant if she ever visits my home.o_0 Peanut butter is closest thing to heaven!
- Janet
Coconut. It smells like suntan lotion. I will use a little coconut oil in some dishes, but if it's not Thai or Malaysian food, I won't eat it.
- Admiral Anika
How else do I describe that? Orange chicken is wrong. Raisins in food is wrong. I used to cry picking raisins out of my biryani when I was a kid.
- Admiral Anika
Now I want oatmeal with walnuts and coconut and raisins.
- Christopher Harley
Yeah. This certainly isn't picky. I can't believe anyone could ever make this mistake.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I won't eat cole slaw unless I make it. No one else does it right.
- Admiral Anika
Just curious Anika, how many times as an adult have you retried these things? Sometimes it takes a mature palate to appreciate.
- Janet
Alfredo will be glad you've spared his white sauce.
- Christopher Harley
I just don't like guacamole. Everything else I eat with the abandon of a man released from prison due to his conviction being overturned on DNA analysis.
- Derrick
And the reason I say I'm not a picky eater is that with the exception of Vietnamese food, I'll eat food from anywhere on the planet. I have friends who think it's strange that I eat sushi, Middle Eastern or African food. They can not get their heads around the fact that Cuban food is not the same as Mexican food. They say that I'm "inventive" when it comes to my dishes because I use fresh veggies/herbs instead of canned or dried ones.
- Admiral Anika
Janet, with the except of oatmeal, everything I've listed above has been served or offered to me within the last week. Still nasty.
- Admiral Anika
Okay, you are not 'picky' but per se a food snob? j/k
- Janet
Calling Anika a food snob is not fair to REAL food snobs!!!
- Christopher Harley
You must have been frequenting a LOT of potlucks if you've been served or offered all of the above within the last 7 days.
- Rochelle
I've met toddlers less fussy when it comes to food.
- Akiva Moskovitz
The only food I avoid is one prepared by minimum wage employees.
- Christopher Harley
When I first met Adrian 10 years ago, I would not eat fish. In my world fish was served two ways: fried to death or grilled with butter. He got me to try it again and I'm glad he did. Now, I eat all kinds of fish, even sushi. He could even tell you how when he first introduced me to sushi, I would eat albacore and unagi. Now, I eat just about everything except for uni & tako. Oh and mackerel...too fishy.
- Admiral Anika
Anika, that's not so bad. I think I have some acquaintances who could give you a real run for your money when it comes to "pickiness".
- ha3rvey (Ho)^3
How about "only eats fried chicken and hamburgers"? Every. Stinkin'. Day. Won't eat anything green. Has two kids.
- ha3rvey (Ho)^3
Potlucks, Rochelle? What? Anyway, thank you Harvey. I feel the same way. One of my friends who makes a huge production out of "let's cater the menu to Anika" even though I have no problem picking stuff out of my food and NEVER say anything rude when it's served, is acting all dramatic because I told her the yak at the Tibetan place is really good. She can't believe that anyone would eat yak on purpose. Whatever.
- Admiral Anika
Can you eat paella? If I couldn't, I'd have to kill myself.
- Christopher Harley
To be honest, this really sounds like more an OCD condition than anything else, Anika.
- Ben Parr
Janet, I don't think I'm a total food snob at least not to the extent of feeling the need to brag about organic this and that. I do prefer fresh over canned. I prefer new recipes over the pedestrian. If someone serves me something that seems lifted from the back of a can, I get a little sad.
- Admiral Anika
Anika, you listed off about 20 food items that you said you've been offered or served in the past week. So, given that, I would assume you're going to a lot of potlucks or other similar events with a lot of food present.
- Rochelle
Christopher, I can only eat paella when it doesn't have pork in it. Anything else in it varies drastically depending on who is making it. I find that my Spanish friends make it way different than my Brazilian ones. In mixed foods like that I can usually eat something I prefer not to as long as it's not a strong taste. One of the Cuban restaurants we go to will not use certain items if I ask.
- Admiral Anika
Like even though I don't like cooked carrots or peas, I will eat them in fried rice because they're supposed to be in there. But don't ask me to eat a German chocolate cake. That's just completely foul since it's made of everything that makes me gag.
- Admiral Anika
Well, on the bright-side, there's still a lot out there that you will eat.
- Christopher Harley
I should do a list like this. People say I'm picky. I say "I only eat real food."
- ha3rvey (Ho)^3
The thing that's funny is that several months ago I did a list like this of foods I liked and people were saying, "OMG, you eat that? That's nasty!"
- Admiral Anika
Yay, I never thought I'd meet someone with as strong convictions about what they eat as myself.
- Penguin It's Cold Outside
I dunno Anika. I would say you're definitely particular about what you won't eat. some people are particular about *everything* and others don't seem to be particular about anything at all. most of us fall in the middle somewhere.
- jbrotherlove
And some last ones: milk, kettlecorn, syrup, papaya and banana-flavored stuff (except banana bread). :)
- Admiral Anika
So what is being picky, if not having "strong revulsion and opinions about certain items" ?
- Andrew C
Anika, you're picky. :-D There's no way around it.
- Jason Huebel
No internal organs? Ohh come now, what's wrong with a good squishy brain?
- Mo Kargas
I've not yet received my zombie card.
- Admiral Anika
I'm with you on everything but the nuts, pancakes, and oatmeal. Oh, and milk. I'll eat kettlecorn but it's meh, mostly. I'm a lot pickier, though.
- Alix Whitmire
I'd say the only thing I won't knowingly eat is organs. Particularly filtering/digestive organs. The only exception to that is liver and I'll only eat it in boudain.
- Jason Huebel
I am so happy to read all of this b/c I no longer feel like I'm the only particular person on the planet.
- Katy S
I ate too much water melon when I was 10 and become very sick. After that my family said I was too lazy to pick out the seeds. Jerks all of them, but I do love them still.
- Russellreno
Russell, you just reminded me. I also don't eat watermelon, though I'll eat watermelon flavored candies.
- Admiral Anika
OK, not liking watermelon is just weird. You can't survive the heat here in Texas without watermelon. :-P
- Jason Huebel
But it's grainy! And then the seeds...all that spitting. *shudder*
- Admiral Anika
I'm with you on watermelon! I've actually never once had a piece of watermelon, I just know I won't like it. I don't eat strawberries for much the same reason, but love anything and everything strawberry flavoured. I think my pickiness comes from food texture issues.
- Penguin It's Cold Outside
Yes, I'm huge on texture, Penguin, but it's weird. Like I won't eat pudding or yogurt for that reason. I can eat raw oysters, scallops (raw or cooked) and steamed mussels with mental preparedness, yet I can't eat smoked clams. I can eat cooked, raw and heat-smoked salmon, but lox makes me gag unless it's smothered in something.
- Admiral Anika
Disowning for not liking CARAMEL. I will take caramel every time over chocolate. LOVE it. It's my favorite non-fruity sweetness. MMMMMMMMmmmmmmm. Golden sweet buttery gooey wonderfulness.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
You can have mine, Lindsay. More for you. You may even like the caramel I make. Apparently it's good stuff.
- Admiral Anika
Wow, won't even eat the stuff you make?? I couldn't deal!
- Fa La La La Lindsay
I make a lot of things I won't eat because everyone else likes it. Food is to be enjoyed by everyone. I think it would suck if I held everyone hostage to my whims.
- Admiral Anika
German Chocolate Cake = the. best. cake. ever.
- Laura Norvig
Sounds to me like you could use a good long trip to the real world, where people are hungry and eat what they can afford.
- Will Higgins™
Wow Will, what a useful suggestion as always. =)
- Admiral Anika
Will wanted to sneak that one in. Who's lookin'? EVERYBODY.
- Christopher Harley
LOL @Christopher & Akiva I'm used to Will spouting off from his high horse. It's amusing to me.
- Admiral Anika
I have a friend who's about as picky as you. Whenever she visits she always finds time to eat my treats but turn her nose up at anything I'm cooking. I don't regard fussiness as admirable, that's all. I've seen people who are doing it rough. Maybe if you did too, you might change.
- Will Higgins™
I'm just as picky and I've never once thought it was an admirable thing. My question to you, Will, is why do I have to change? I'm generally polite and if presented with something at someone's home that I don't particularly care for, I'll try it and endure it if I have to, but when I'm on my own, who am I hurting by giving in to my silly whims?
- pea
I'm not saying anyone has to change! I'm just stating my opinion and clarifying why I feel the way I do about the matter.
- Will Higgins™
I apologize for being uncouth. Perhaps I could have tried starting a discussion about the merits of fussiness in a more respectful and mature manner.
- Will Higgins™
Not eating something because you dislike the taste, texture in the mouth, smell all seem legitimate. But having a revulsion, opinion about foods based on colour does seem a bit out there don't you think?
- Brian Sullivan
=) Will, like I said, I'm used to it now. It's just how you are. Last year it used to annoy me, but I know (hope?) that you mean well. But your comment was such a parental moment.
- Admiral Anika
I'm about as couth as Rush Limbaugh. And an egoist, and I always think I'm right. Funny you say that I'm parenty 'coz it's totally like that with my picky friend. People look to me and say 'she needs to do this and this, don't you agree?' and I always say 'I don't care what she does, she's a big girl now' EXCEPT with the eating thing. Then I'm always on her case.
- Will Higgins™
I agree with many of those dislikes. Exceptions are mushrooms, peppers, and white sauces. The others I either hate or could easily do without.
- Jen (SquirrelGirl)
from iPhone
From your list, the only 2 things I won't eat are internal organs and beets. There are a few things I won't eat if they are prepared a certain way, like zucchini can NOT be simmered in tomato sauce...that will make me gag. And I won't eat okra, no matter what you do to it. And garlic doesn't belong on top of a bagel. And I don't like grape anything. Cherry flavored stuff is pretty close...

I was just at the store this afternoon. Should have bought myself some english muffins. I would wake up early if it meant eating those! :)

Trader Joe's carries crumpets (or at least they used to) so you can make a side-by-side comparison. To me it looks like what Australians call English muffins and what we call English muffins are the same.

I've still never tried English Muffins. They sell them here in Canada but I never had them in England - they don't exist there!

I don't even know where to begin. There are so many people who I love for different reasons. Hmmm..My LAers (Derrick, Amani, Derrick, Anika, Monique, Edythe) because they are always cooler than cool. My New Yorkers (Mona and Cee Bee) because they bring the versatility. My mothers (Abby, Rochelle, Jen, Katie) because they always remind me how great is it to be a mom. RAPatton because...

That's OK, Shevonne. I'm sure it will come to you. :D
- Steven Perez
from IM
You see....Steven Perez because he's funny as hell, and then there is Yolanda cause she is one of the sweetest EVER. Ugghhh too many. This is like giving an acceptance speech. =D
- Shevonne
Not me! I was talking about Mike Nayyar. He's so lonely in his dumpster. :D
- Steven Perez
from IM
I enjoy everyone, but like Thomas Hawk's photos and philosophies the most, and learn more from Louis Gray than anyone else.
- jcunwired
Returning the love to Amani and Abby -- you guys are two of the most honest and kindest souls on FF. Others: RAPatton probably doesn't have a single mean bone in him (ok, poor choice of words there), I could watch Dobromir's feed all day long, Shevonne is a ray of FF sunshine, Akiva is just flat out funny
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
There are so many people here that make being here worthwhile that I cannot single out just one. You guys all rock in your own special ways.
- Alex Scoble
I LOVE ROBERT SCOBLE! ~ just not in that way. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
- sofarsoShawn
Awww thanks Shey! My favorite Jamaican. There is Pea, my fellow DCer who is one of the most genuine peeps up in here!
- Shevonne
I love interacting with all the smart, funny FFolks on here! Too many to name, but among my favorites are: Lindsey (the Fierce), Rochelle/Akiva/Audrey, Derrick, Ladybug and Scott, Jim J, RAPatton, Tina (the Enigmatic)... You all rock my world!
- LAMB
ceebee and RAPatton post the most interesting stuff. and even if he wasn't my boo, i'd still be all up in JT's feed for his pop culture and politics mix. love their stuff
- tiffany
there are many friendfeeders i feel particularly warmly to because something of their inner self is always coming out: Michael W. May (who has always been at the top of the list), Morton Fox, Anika/Faboo Mama, Yolanda, rap, Cecily, Tad, Akiva, Rochelle, Lindsey, Lindsay D., Beeling, Rodfather, Ginger Makela, Mark Trapp, Ceebee, Shevonne, Abby Martin, Jandy, Zach Landes, Nathan Rein,...

- edythe
The community / user base of friendfeed is one of the biggest reasons that these days, I'm spending more time on friendfeed versus twitter. I love you all, even the people that annoy me from time to time.
- Jeremy
and even yuvi, despite the fact that he used to call me Old Woman. :) and Donna Mugavero and Joanmarie and Michelle Martinez... and Silpol (now A.T.) and oh my gosh PARTH!!!! :)
- edythe
and oh my gosh Shey and his jaw-droppingly lovely wife Jasmin... i like Robert Scoble, too, because he always seems upfront to me and never mean.
- edythe
Additions - Cee Bee for highest quality posts consistently, Ebrahimi for pictures and translating squiggly for me, Iain for celebrity without celebrity tude, Jessie and Soup most socially conscious posts, Tina for being FF spirit leader, Lindsey online 24hours day, Anne and Jim for getting me here. :)
- Steve C
I 'like' Tyson Key! And a bow toward Trish Haley, thanks for making me blush. Speaking of Haleys, Trish, Josh, and Morgan have all become favorites of mine. MVB makes me laugh like a fool, as does relative newbie Valley... he is one funny dude! Gosh, all these names are coming to mind! I'll probably have to comment more later. But for this go-round I will close by saying... if Carmen ever stops posting those daily mug shots, I'm going offline!
- Jim Addz No Value
Oh, and to Monique who I guess I am not subsribed to... you completely win for putting up this post. What an excellent, excellent gift to the community!
- Jim Addz No Value
I gotta' send some love out to the original band of hooligans who got me hooked on FF: edythe, RAP, Brandon, MWM, Louis Gray & Robert Scoble. You guys filled my world with gobs of geekiness and great interaction on SO MANY different levels. Thanks for making my addiction to FF possible. Of course, now there are so many, many, many others who help to keep me here. I can't even begin to name you all.
- Lisa L. Seifert
PS: Thanks for putting up with my Twitter-heavy stream while I'm in school for this year. Eventually, I'll have time to interact more again. xoxo
- Lisa L. Seifert
Alix is a wonderful caring wife who tolerates me and my annoying sleeping/eating/battlestar watching habits. I is lucky.
- Shawn Whitmire
I love Akiva for bringing the comedy and the pain. I love Derrick for being as real in the OSH parking lot as he is on FF. I love Monique for being the Pied Piper of the interwebz and helping me recover my sanity. I love James for being so gently poetic. I love Rahsheen for the soft porn videos he always takes in bed. I love Johnny Worthington for being such a cuddle muffin of hair and vulgarity. I love Steven Perez for being a quicker wit than me and nicer than me all at once.
- nakachi
I love Kaia for the name Baronnes Von Cut A Bitch. I love Robin (bcultural) for the science and the nation building. I love Logical Extremes and Rodfather for their quiet affirmations that never go unnoticed. I love Helen for the virtual daps she gives me whether I'm flying or firing. I love Anna Haro for all the little hearts she sends my way <3 to you, too, honey girl.

Nakachi's Facebook status updates blow my mind
- Rodfather
I love this thread. We need an effing FF CONVENTION.
- Derrick
This past week has not been a very good one for me and I might have lost it completely if it hadn't been for Johnny, Steven and Derrick for all dropping their pants for me. I love that there are people on here, that I have never met, that care enough to make me laugh when I am feeling way crappy. <3 And of course there are more, just giving props to those that made me feel better this week :) MWAH!
- Penny
Also, Nia for her beautiful photos and Mo for making me laugh too :)
- Penny
I'm ready for more. I love Nia for her kindness and her pictures. I love me some g.warbucks 'cause she's brilliant AND pretty to look at. I love tiffany for sharing the good, the bad and the tipsy. I love Chris Weige for keeping art on my mind. I love that the people who subscribe to me give a damn about what I have to say enough to take the time to read me. I'm grateful.

from fftogo
I had no idea when I started this thread that it would blow up like this. I think this is a clear example of the value of friendfeed: the relationships we build. Sure, we have differing interests, politics, social situations and opinons, but at the end of the day, what we come here for are the people. No one exists in a vacuum, and if they did, they probably wouldn't have a friendfeed...

It is hard to pick a single person but as stated...you all bring me much needed laughter. I especially LOVE the ladies room girls - you bring the essence of love. Thank you so much.

Personally, I think Akiva Moskovitz rocks. He's one of the main reasons why I use FriendFeed. If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't even be here.
- Akiva Moskovitz
not to sound too much like a Mutual Admiration Society, but edythe's feed was what got me hooked on this place. :-D

Ha, there are too many awesome people here to list and compliment individually; but Denton Gentry, Kevin Johnson, and Morton Fox are all awesome and extremely skilled techies!
- i80and
The FF founders and employees rock pretty hard too thanks Paul, Bret, Jim, Anna etc
- Steve C
Lindsay D. and Kol Tregaskes are kind and respectful even when disagreeing with someone. Civility like that deserves a mention because it is not often the norm in the online world.
- Jim Addz No Value
Penny for her personality and her self portraits which are awesome and so real!<3 Dobromir, Richard and Michael who always wishes good morning ^^. Manuela, because of her sense of style what becomes to art, also a very lovely person! Nakachi, Girl, you rock my world! Stay as you are - you are wonderful!

Everybody already mentioned in this thread, plus Meryn and Joelle for being really smart and inquisitive about some of things I find particularly interesting, too. Or at least the way they discuss them. Not that I don't think that way about the rest of you, just no one had mentioned them yet.

Jim, yeah there's no need to be bitchy while disagreeing. Get your point over but don't be nasty about it. :-)

Mo Kargas for his awesomeness. (I hope that by honoring great killer robots my death shall be quick and painless once they take over the world)

How did I miss thread? It needs a comeback. Thank you LB for the bump. If you think I might know who you are, the odds are high I love you and thank you for being around (even if you have moved on, in which case you won't see this, but it is important to mention nonetheless) and thank you for letting me into your lives a little bit *hugs*

MWM, this was one of the best FF threads I've ever seen. Sometimes it just needs to reappear. :) #complimentSunday
- LAMB
I didn't see this the first time round either (but it looks like I was in NYC when this was happening). I have friends who I knew before FF for whom friendfeed has allowed me to know better and there are folks like RAP, edythe, and MwM whose posting and conversation have enriched my life and ignited my imagination. Thanks kids. And, of course, I love Sneezy but FF had little to do with that.
- Jason Toney
I really admire Kol Tregaskes, he's always informative and gets involved quite a bit with almost everything. Quite the most selfless individual I ever came across on the net :) ... Also Holden Page impresses me everyday because he's a younger individual with tons of interest in several subjects that most older users usually get into, he shows he's not afraid to learn and keep his...

There is a lot of history to this picture. It was taken in Mike Arrington's back yard at the last Techcrunch party to be held in his house. This was a launch party too for our book Naked Conversations. It sounded like a good idea at the time. JD Lasica shot the photo and my wife and dad were within a few feet.

I had my face contorted like the Haleys while I was drawing.
Oh, I'm totally trying Vegemite (or maybe Marmite, since that's what I've seen locally) one day, and I'll post the results! I'll get Harold to help me out with his DSLR. I won't slather it on so thickly, though. That is like, whoa.

"The spectacular shots were taken by Mike Hollingshead in Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge near Mound City, Missouri. The geese must travel 2,500miles twice a year. Every autumn the snow geese head from their main breeding grounds in central Canada to their wintering grounds in the Gulf of Mexico. The noisy birds migrate in unusually large flocks of 100 to 1,000 that are made up of many family groups. Biologists still do not understand how the birds decide when to migrate."

@Melanie, Vegemite was not my favorite. I'd send you the open jar, but we've decided to use it as a disciplining tool. If the kids misbehave, we'll be feeding them a spoonful of this.

@melanie, tell your kids that i'm harmless to other people's kids. they would get the tim tams and raspberries johnny sent, not the vegemite. :)

@Trish, lol, I meant your kids saying about me:"Don't invite her. she sounds mean!" since I agreed with you about using the Vegamite for discipline!
