If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Prolly some sort of Truth/Dare.
And I like watermelon...the best way to eat it is to get a huge slice and stand over the kitchen sink and eat it, letting the juice run down your chin and get all over your hands. If you want to eat watermelon, make it an expirience.

Have you actually tried it, or does it just sound gross?
I have never tried it myself, but it seems rather antithetical to the purpose behind eating it. I usually eat watermelon when I'm particularly thirsty or lacking in fluids... adding salt would kind of defeat the purpose.
I believe it's supposed to make the flavor stronger. I've never wanted to salt my perfectly good watermelon to find out. When a relative of mine visited a Dole plantation in Hawaii many years ago, they sold pineapple there and the tables had salt on them. Supposedly that made it extra good.
I sometimes eat watermelon like Catspaw says she eats it. Other times I eat it like Frank. Then there are the times where it's already cut into bite-sized pieces for me. Eating black seeds is yucky and the crunching noise is awful! I don't usually bother with the white seeds. Seedless watermelon is better so you don't have to worry about it but just remember that it's not truly seedless... those little white seeds are still lurking.
I believe it's something like, "Donde está el baño."
Oh. No... not again.
Yeah, you're right...LovedbyGod, don't you remember the AIO episode "The Cross of Cortez"? heh, that's the only reason i know how to say that. Pretty much don't know anything else in spanish, lol.
It was good knowing you StrongNChrist; you taught me a lot. I'll meet you someday for real in God's presence.

White seeds bother you, hm?

Yes, I have tried it at my mom's insistence that it was great. It wasn't!!!
Salty watermelon isn't my idea of a good refreshing summer snack.
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance. ♡

I think voice of Bourland is the guy who does the Spanish on that tape.
Next time we have watermelon, I'm adding a pinch of salt.

How did you manage to grow watermelons without seeds?

Those little white seeds were more potent than you guessed.
I sometimes like salt on my watermellon...........sometimes I don't.........it all depends.
I also will occasionally eat even the black seeds.........after all they're not going to kill you or anything...........but sometimes when I'm with sibligs it's fun to eat the watermellon then see how far we can spit the seeds.....

God does not call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
God, Grant us the peace that comes from honest dealings so that no fear of discovery will haunt our sleep May we inflict no pain, bring no shame, and seek no profit by another's loss.
I usually pick out all of the seeds that I can see first, then take a huge bite. I don't like having all of the sticky juice dribble down my arms, but I'm to lazy to cut the watermellon into pieces before eating it.
My mom and granny do that - it's gross!
