No. Not even an allergy. Just messes up my stomach every time I eat them. My little sister is allergic but nothing extreme. I've heard they're a heavily sprayed crop.

When did they start putting m&ms in plastic bags? These things are a pain to get open!

That sucks. Peanuts and peanut butter are awesome. Of course Ga. is pretty much the peanut capital so I guess I'm just used to them.

I'd rather have a crunchy peanut butter and apple jelly sandwich than just about any other sandwich you can think of.

And there is literally not a day that goes by that I don't eat some peanuts in some form. I love them.

I'm fine with almonds and pecans.

I'm not that fond of almonds, but I do eat them. Not my favorite, I like the honey roasted ones from Walgreen's and I like the chocolate almond ice cream. I freakin' love pecans though, another Ga staple. I think Ga and Texas produce pretty much all the pecans you see. Love them in pancakes, brownies, or just by themselves. But pecans have gotten really expensive, especially with the weather the way its been the last few years, and the theft since the prices have gone up.

Pecan farms have had to hire security to patrol the fields at night down here because dope fiends are sneaking in to steal them and sell them to roadside stands for a few bucks to get more meth.

That's what I had for dinner tonight! I love peanut butter too. And nuts in general. I eat fruit for breakfast and a bag of almonds for a snack every day.

They're full of fat and calories, but a lot of protein. I figure they're better for you than processed chips, puffs, fritos, etc. That's why we keep nuts around as snacks instead of those other things. We all love nuts, they're expensive though. Especially when you get into the pecans, holy crap they aren't cheap. Of course it depends on the size of the pecan pieces, IIRC the halves are about $12 a pound recently.

Yeah I'm not a huge pecan fan, except for pecan pie. But I'd much rather eat a handful of nuts than crap chips. If we get chips, we get non-gmo only. The kettle chips are one of the few good ones on the market. But even then we hardly ever get them.

I freakin' love pecans. Best nut that there is IMO. I love mixed nuts too, especially varieties that have Brazil nuts. However, in the South they're generally called n*gger toes. I hate to admit it, but I didn't even know the actual name for them (Brazil nuts) until I was in my 20s. That was all I'd ever heard them called.

I love pecans! Wish I had a pecan tree! That are several nuts that are just priced far beyond what I can justify paying. Pecan's being one of them.

I see people out in public wearing pajamas quite a bit over the last few years. Mostly 20ish hipsters. Even in restaurants eating.

Well I can guarantee that you won't see me out in public in pajamas. Hell, I don't even own any pajamas, never have worn them. Don't even remember wearing pajamas when I was a kid.

I forget that Arizona doesn't go through daylight savings. I should remember; the rifle season for mule deer starts in October, two hours ahead of local time, and ends in November. I always "gain" an hour when I get drawn for one of those hunts.
