Melon is the worst.

I remember reading a dystopian short story about space colonists starving to death because the melons growing everywhere were taboo. Finally the protagonist tried one in desperation and didn't even die. I guess the author (was it Octavia Butler?) was in the Melon Haters Society.

I hate all melon except watermelon.

Jayzus, all the melon hate!

It's cool, sweet and delicious.

Hi, back, yay! I love watermelon, like honeydew, tolerate cantaloupe (but, apparently, don't know how to spell it, thank you, red squiggly), and can't think of another melon to end the list.

I got up earlier than I would have liked because my body has decided that it needs to make two fingers on my right hand numb, yet also painful (neat!) sometimes from something positional when I sleep. Sometimes. And I have to stand up pretty much to get it to stop. On the other hand (heh), fried eggs and bacon for breakfast, and I cleaned up the kitchen.

Meara- puppy is right, valerian smells AWFUL. It is known. I used to work with a guy who packed his weed in a valerian bottle to elude drug dogs, the stuff is so rank.

Unrelated, I also have issues with teeth grinding, and having dreams of chewing on something annoying and waking up with my mouth guard in the wrong place. After grinding through an expensive custom one, I switched over to these years ago and love them. I wear it upside down (over my lower teeth, instead of under the upper teeth as instructed) and one usually last me about a year....or until Malachi gets into the bathroom and chews it into pieces.

Timelies all!

Hi JenP!

I like canteloupe and honeydew melon(when properly ripe), do not like watermelon.

Oh wow what a dream, Tep! I'd feel betrayed, too. Ew, melons. I always give away any I'm served - my dad always ends up with mine and my mom's if we go out for breakfast that includes a side of fruit )very rarely does the side of fruit not include melons)

Valerian definitely has a powerful smell, makes me want to avoid it also. I've had cats that really liked it, though. Not quite as much as catnip, but heading in that direction.

I steamed so TJ's frozen dim sum for breakfast. Yum. Now I'm going back to bed for a little while. I wanted so badly to do this yesterday, I'm going to allow it today.

The melon flavor that I so dislike is maybe close to the flavor of Riesling and other sweet wines that I cannot stand.

Hi JenP!!

I like all the melons, mixed together in a fruit salad too. There is one that is yellow, can't remember name, that is super sweet and tasty.

Unrelated, I also have issues with teeth grinding

Same here, and lately it is worse than ever. Need to dig out my guard. I just use a generic drug store variety, but it works.

eta: I have retrieved DH from the airport! Third degree upon arrival from NY authorities. He has to respond to texts every day for the next 2 weeks assuring them he is staying quarantined.
