Chomp Chew Chew Slurp Gulp Smack

Perfectly said.   I think in some ways, having realised the root of my disgust, I might just be free of it.   We will see Sunday, when family is here for Easter dinner.   I don't want to be disgusted by my family.   That would be super if I were somehow more resistant to feeling disgust at their jolly eating habits (chewing, laughing, talking good God EWWW!)

Well for me everyone knows to eat with their mouth closed. The only issue now is my partner has recently taken up the habit of talking and eating a the same time.  WHY? WHY?

Maybe you should continue to look away now and again, just so you can handle it a little better (?)

I will endeavour to not make my family uncomfortable by describing my revulsion.   I think I'm going to be okay now.   I think it helps if people just slow down in their chewing.   No rush.   Enjoy your meal.  No need to fill every space with talk.   Toward that end, I intend to put on a good movie.   Turn the volume up.   Probably something Biblical.

Same here, I have my 'Ten Commandments' VHS tape right where I can find it. You enjoy your meal too as best you can.

Some people like it, hence the popularity of autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) videos.

You as well.   Enjoy your Easter.     I have a fondness for the movie Noah, with Russell Crow, primarily because it has a segment in the middle which compares Genesis with evolution in a manner that is consistent with my view.   How long is a "God day" before He created the sun?    Also very much enjoy 'The Greatest Story Ever Told'  with  Max von Sydow.  Good stuff.   I live in a place where people drag a huge rolling cross down the road and we all stand and bear witness, and then later congregate to ingest copious amounts of food and beverage.

That's quite a poignant visual reminder of the religious meaning of Easter.

"John 11:25-26: "Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die."

We are surrounded by a plethora of Southern Baptists.   People here want to represent in a visual manner.   It's okay with me.    My Bride and me want to be cremated, and our ashes interred upon our land.   My mother is afraid God won't find her if she is cremated, so we will deal with her in the traditional way.   My religious views are quite eclectic.   That would be a whole 'nother thread.   God gave me humour, because he wanted me to be funny.   I think it is my purpose to go forth and spread joy, and to leave people with a smile on their face.   Can't go wrong with that, right?
