It was more fucking work to write about than perform. Surprisingly quick and easy.

I’m a bloodhound for pinching my own pennies, and when I find a place that looks perfect but I can’t afford I have to admit, logically, that they’re on a better tack than the alternative and will probably find their level if the product brings anybody back.

I met a North American who travelled for an extended tour of East Asian nations. She didn’t eat meat; I don’t recall her reasoning.

Understood, nice to have optimal health. I always found “sensitive skin” products to have very selective utility and be too expensive, in addition to oddly strong aromas.

I also buy cheapest liquid soap for beside the sink, but moving away from that.

I just wanted to say thanks for making me feel human. I jumped in expecting somebody was going to tell me I needed stainless steel appliances to feel good about myself but you are bang on.

Aesthetics mean a lot, so I agree. If you want it and you have the money, no arguments.

Glad you’re happy; a feel for aptness is rare and valuable.

You mean you don’t have a battery-powered coffee maker yet?

Used glycerine Pears for decades but developed an itchy feeling. I eventually determined it to be a low-level colophony allergy, along with other evidence. Still miss Pears style of pine tar odor, but I’d never even heard the word colophony before.

Not the place for political debate.

Roger that:

Seems to be the consensus. Just a word I’ve never heard in the drinking context.

I’m surprised by your recommendation but I’ll try most anything, once. A position statement but not a debate until I can say I’ve tried it.

Have you actually tried this?

That seems rational.

Okay, but that’s binary. Was Brianna’s “sparkling or still or tap” just brain cloud or is there a missing finer distinction?

What is “still” water?

My ice story is embarrassing to recall.

The processed stuff is out there so don’t take the domestic Swiss for granted. If it means anything here, I think the processed Swiss is marginally decent, just obviously not the real thing. I wouldn’t assume aged cheese slices in a burger environment.
