Absolutely agree, BUT the adults need to allow the kids to respond to those biological signals. If you never get to drink when you’re thirsty, the link eventually gets broken. Then you get adults who confuse thirst for hunger, and so on.

Dinner tonight was cheesy veg - random vegetables* chopped and boiled, drained, then a hunk of cheese suited in to melt. Herbs optional.

God is all about the e-cigs now

My wild guess is that individuals have different tolerances to external bacteria loads, and those tolerances are influenced by culture, habits, etc. Not *completely* down to how much bleach you use, but connected.

It is, mostly, unless your car is built in a way that makes second gear too fast for the situation.

I guess that would work? But can’t you roughly tell speed by engine sound in an automatic? (Never driven an auto). Or maybe pay attention to the surroundings - its so easy to drift a few mph over, but going nearly twice the limit?

Quality essential oils contain compounds that have been and are being scientifically scrutinised. I’d like to keep them and herbs (again with the useful compounds), but chuck out the homeopathy, crystal healing, etc etc.

Yes, but...if I’m calling about seeing someone getting mugged, I get pissy at wasting 5 minutes going through my name, address, phone number, blah blah irrelevent. I can describe what I’m seeing and give a location. Dude needs help!

It may be passé but where do you think it comes from? That’s directly connected to all those “jokes” about Daddy having a shotgun to protect his propert- er, I mean daughter.

That’s what I was saying, my first paragraph was a quote I was replying to.

I can’t tell what the painting depicts*, I can’t tell without the article that there is a boy in a casket. Isn’t that the very definition of erasure? If his mother wanted us to see the pain and horror, what gives anyone the right to abstract it into ~pretty patterns~?

“An “arranged marriage” is an unwilling but pressured or even forced union -often through threats of varying levels and/or blackmail.”

This bit

This is so weird.

Also “in a nearby park” is not “at the same site” so they get their development nice n easy.

How is this not murder?

...you need this shit covered as soon as you hire *anyone*. Anything more than “hey mum, can you give me a hand this weekend?” makes you (morally, if not ecessarily legally) an employer who needs to Do The Things. Ugh.

Have y’all run out of stuff to write? Ancient pieces in the top bar? C’mon now.

I wonder if it needs fat/oil to pull out the real flavours? As it usually goes in meat stews and things, not just boiling water. Hmm.

You need better Bay. It’s delicious, and pungent. Yes, I mean the Laurus nobilis version.
