Only one choice allowed? Oh, well. Abolishing TNC is a worthy goal in life.
I've just invented OSNC!! Oyster Stew Noodle Casserole! Much more savory and flavorful than TNC! I was a bit heavy on the white pepper though, gotta watch that!!
 
Interesting list.
Helps me realise how lucky I am, in fact.
I've found the love of my life (actually managed that twice, but one didn't work out...long story, but no regrets), settled down and raised a family, and have pretty much got my peace of mind sorted.
If I could own a simple pizza parlour (rather than burritos) and run a hassle-free little surf-rock/soul band, I think that'd be me fully content.
Failing that, I'd settle for abolishing TNC, just out of respect for you, Mister Slo.

Yeah, me too. Thought I was going to die a fat, lonely alcoholic before I reached 30-years-old. Met the love of my life in a recovery meeting, people told her to dump me and in a way they were right. We were both a mess. But, we are still together 44 years later. One adopted son, two foster sons and one grandson. It has been really rough at times, and still can be, but we both stuck it out and our love is still growing (as are we.)
 
Cruising towards 60. 'er indoors is suggesting upping sticks in the USA and moving to the UK (my birthplace) as a retirement plan over the next few years. I'm not opposed, but I'll miss wearing shorts in November. Be nice to be around the grandkids, friends, and family there.
I've had a rather low-key career, have a nice house, a 24 year marriage, and beautiful children. I've enjoyed making music. I've enjoyed cooking good food (never have made, nor ever will make a TNC) . I've been relatively healthy. I enjoy nice restaurants.
I'm kind of accepting of anything coming down the pike. Am I happy? Perhaps, but try telling the manic depressive 19 year old living in my head that.
 
I don't care about looking young. I'd like a lot of money. Peace of mind would be nice. Don't wanna lead. Finding a girl I like would be nice. Not surrendering to anything. Don't wanna write. Don't wanna act. Don't want a family. Don't wanna be part of a community (I don't wanna disrupt one either, but I prefer to keep to myself.) Carrots and burritos and tuna noodle casserole are good.

Liked everything except the part about liking tuna noodle casserole. :vomit:

Are you serving it for Thanksgiving?
No. Wifey and I ordered the 2-3 person T Day dinner meal from Ray's Food Place. Value for me 'cuz she don't like yams/sweet potato, green bean casserole, nor cranberry sauce. :/ There's nothing I don't like as long as it doesn't contain carraway nor heat factor isn't above pepperoncini.

Would Turkey Noodle Casserole be a legit substitute?
