Oh wow that’s good news! Hopefully not as painful as a pacemaker implant 😬

I absolutely D E T E S T eggs. I abhor the smell, taste, feel, no matter what state it is in, it’makes me gag just thinking about it. Ever since I got weaned on solid foods according to my mum. It just makes me gag. I tried to like them, I really did, but the thought of eggs going past my lips makes me almost scared. I’m fine with eggs when you cannot taste them, like in baked goods like muffins or pancakes. Quiches are borderline, there needs to be a lot of ham and cream to mask the taste and texture of eggs.

I’ve gotten slightly more tolerant to smell as I grow older, I’m even able to cook fried eggs for the husband. Although I have no idea if I’m doing it right or not I refuse to taste test it.

I’m so envious of people who say they eat lots of eggs because they’re versatile and it’s a cheap source of protein, alas it’s not for me.

Maybe a bit niche, but Klaus are my absolute favourite in the entire universe.

Do you have a slow cooker? Make a simplified poulet basquaise! Get a tin of ratatouille (La Doria brand, usually less than £1.50 in supermarkets), empty it in a slow cooker, and pop one or 2 chicken breasts (or thighs for an even cheaper meal), add a stock cube of your choice and get it going on low for 8 hours. The meat will shred beautifully and it makes a great rice/pasta/wrap topper. That’s enough for maybe 4 servings.

To be fair, high-tech toilets like in Japan are absolutely life-enhancing. IYKYK. But they don’t involve AI thank goodness!

Let the poor sheepies enjoy the sky, pop those solar panels over car parks!

Would ADHD meds cause insomnia? I have no idea, I thought the drug would be out of your system by bedtime, although if you’re anything like me and can’t sleep because you looked in the direction of a bag of coffee after 1pm, I’d imagine it’s very possible it could affect your sleep. And I agree that’s not something you’d want, perish the thought! Well best of luck to you!

Consider me chagrined. I think we desperately need kei cars to become mainstream in the UK instead of those oversized monstrosities that everyone seems to like.

Omg I love Devo!

It looks just like a Honda N-Box! Where do I sign up???

Oh right, I’m glad for you it wasn’t anything! Now go get your stimulants tiger!

So is it like an open source Minecraft? Considering what sort of amazing mods people can make without the base game being open source, I can’t imagine how awesome it’ll be.

Wow, I have the same predicament (pending diagnosis). I have heart failure, what is your issue if you don’t mind me asking?

Alright it’s a bit far fetched but bear with me. Back in the olden days, people would use nails driven in a candle to measure a certain amount of time. As the candle melts, the nail would drop on a metal tray and make a sound.

So you’d need to get a candle of your choice, preferably a stick candle. Burn it for your ideal mediation time and measure by how much it melted away. Then get a nail, drive it into the candle, according to your measurement. Perhaps not too far in the candle, enough for the nail to stay put but shallow enough to drop easily when the wax gets liquid around it. Pop the candle on some metal tray, light it, take a deep breath and close your eyes. When you hear a clang then you’re done. But keep going if you are enjoying it!

Absolument pas. Est ce que ça serait une expression québécoise?

I knew it! I have the book and I watched the live action. It’s a bit of a silly premise but it’s good fun. It makes me crave a good onsen!

That and I bet he smells of stale tobacco and beer. His aftershave is probably called Moquette de Wetherspoons.

Unpopular -slash-borderline-psychopatic opinion: there should be onion grilled in butter scented candles on the market.

I would buy it in a heartbeat. I’ve seen garlic bread candles on Etsy after all!

Damn you didn’t stop peeing? My sincere commiserations brother/sister/sibling. I take diuretics too for heart failure but pretty much as soon as I got started on Metformin it stopped. Well outside of the days where I take my military grade kidney activator it’s back to normal.

It’s even weirder since you got the diabetes under control (many congratulations to you!)

Nope, nothing at all. To be honest it got caught at a very early stage before I could develop any neuropathy or anything but honestly apart from the tiredness of having to get up 3 times a night I did not feel a thing.
