And so it begins

**WeAreAllKosh** · 03-12-2011, 08:46 AM

Dear INTJforum members:

I have been reading your fascinating, helpful, and funny forum threads for a while. My growing desire to join the conversation has finally prompted me to register.

I suspect the average age of forum members is younger than 40-something me, but maybe I can add a bit of seasoned flavor to the conversation salad.

Tomatoes in a salad = yum.

**peppersasen** · 03-12-2011, 08:51 AM

I live for tomatoes in salad. I even make savory-spicy salad consisting of only tomatoes. Nom! And welcome!

**DeepThought** · 03-12-2011, 09:31 AM

Welcome fellow 40+ new member (just joined yesterday).

**Wongette** · 03-12-2011, 12:24 PM

Greetings and salutations. Mid-30s here.

**WeAreAllKosh** · 03-12-2011, 04:37 PM

Thanks for the kind words. For the record, my comment about the deliciousness of tomatoes in a real salad had nothing to do with my comment about me possibly adding flavor to a conversation salad. Me and my clunky metaphors.

Welcome to the Alley...

I was old when the stars were formed.

What was it like paying with gold coins?

Much easier than using Rai stones.

Another 40-something here. Greetings.

I'd like to add that Babylon 5 was the best sci-fi series ever, imo.

**envirodude** · 03-13-2011, 12:02 AM

Hi. Not a tomatoes fan. Textural thing. Anyway, you're right that the average age is <40, probably high 20s. You can consider this poll if you wish, but <18 was not allowed so it's biased. Welcome! I tell my kids I'm "old as the hills" which, if my geology is not off, means I'm younger than Cooper.

**Atmey** · 03-13-2011, 12:10 AM

Welcome, I like tomatoes most of the time. Blendered tomatoes + rice one of my favorite meals.

Oh. So the Kosh in his username is this? Thought it was short for kosher.

hahaha and I thought I didn't like tomatoes before. That just sounds tasty.

And welcome to the forum

**toaster623** · 03-13-2011, 09:14 PM

I like tomatoes, cherry tomatoes.

It all started when there wasn't much left for launch, my grandma cut a tomato in half and squeezed it over a plate of basmati rice. The blender evolved from that, it also gives produces some froth.

It tastes nowhere like a tomato, more like seasoned rice and some freshness, pretty tasty if you ask me.

**wizzra** · 03-14-2011, 06:36 AM

Eating cucumbers requires more energy than you take in.

**Reddkatz** · 03-14-2011, 10:20 AM

Like tomatoes raw. Cooked tomatoes though, very strange.

**WeAreAllKosh** · 03-14-2011, 06:43 PM

This thread has turned into a tomato lurvefest... not that there's anything wrong with that.

LOL. Thanks to you we've found something we have in common. When we eventually form that INTJ commune we'll have a garden and grow a bunch of big genetically-modified tomatoes the size of pumpkins and organic cherry tomatoes. If the commune is on earth (or another planet where tomatoes can survive).

Only the tomatoes for the conversation salad Kosh posted were a metaphor. The tomatoes in literal salad were not. Now, is this cucumber thing a metaphor?

Yes! I completely agree with the tomato thing. I do like ketchup, salsa, and tomato sauce, but not plain old tomatoes.

**zAdDiCk** · 03-15-2011, 12:43 AM

Age is relative.

**Unceasing** · 03-15-2011, 06:45 PM

Hey guys, im starting to like this site. feel at home with these levels of conversation.

Genetically modified vegetables.......................hmmmmmm. can we alter their growth rate and ability to ingest vitamins and minerals. and turn them into super tomatoes?

**Bioplasmoid** · 03-15-2011, 09:11 PM

40-Somethings are deeply appreciated here by some 3x-Somethings such as myself. I would encourage you to introduce others who are 40+ to Myers Briggs, and bring them on board if you think they would like it here, or be able to add to discussion in a meaningfull and non-inflammatory way. (Something most people physically over the age of 18-24 can usually do with minimal effort.)

Our membership needs, pines for, and almost shudders with desire for an older perspective on introverted life in all of it's glory and triumphant pits of despair. (etc.)

Welkkomen.
