Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I love my coffee too. There are health benefits to drinking coffee. It has many antioxidants which lower the risk of some diseases.
Night everyone.💤😴💤
I watched this interesting, informative, and persuasive two-hour YouTube talk a few months ago. It made an impression, and I decided I would reserve drinking to only occasional social times where I feel like it's worth it.

Post menopause, I suppose about five years ago, I started feeling really ill if I drank at all so I stopped doing it.
We have a charming pair of handsome young identical twin doctor presenters called Chris and Xand Van Tulleken who out of pure public spiritedness did a study on themselves to compare the effects of moderate and binge drinking. One of them drank in moderation (i.e. within current guidelines) for the length of the study, and the other got completely sozzled at weekends only, and then they had themselves tested for all sorts of markers. Is binge drinking really that harmful? they wanted to know.
Long story short: yes. And so is moderate drinking.
There are still some clips available at https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05wdfhk/clips
but the BBC in its wisdom isn't streaming the full show. They probably taped over it by accident.
cm -same message essentially. Ingested alcohol is damaging to the body and brain
Thankful it ever played much part in my life.
polar - thx for that. Amazing man - jimmy Carter! He certainly lived a full life. I hope he has an easy passing too.
Jimmy Carter has been on hospice for weeks . The man has survived so many things. My husband says “ watch him get better”. My Dad got “better” in a hospice facility and got kicked out to rehab for 6 weeks. He was miserable . He didn’t belong in rehab . Then he went to SNF on comfort care 2 weeks before he passed. Now my sister who I think the doctor jumped the gun recently about hospice got better . I thought he was jumping the gun , but he’s the doctor. She’s in rehab on palliative care for now . She still has serious medical problems . We will see what happens .
I will have to remember the floating in water trick for eggs. Thanks 😊.
I am kind of one or two coffees a day, but love my cappuccino.
Don’t care for eggs, the stink here, when in Europe or Mexico I eat them, I wonder if it is because in many countries people don’t refrigerate them?
But, I am going to make quiche and crepes today to use eggs, maybe deviled eggs for Easter.
I would have never guessed that. I will pay more attention to eggs when I buy them. I suppose buying them at the farmers market is a better idea than purchasing them from a store.
Evamar.
I love deviled eggs! I don’t make them often but always enjoy them when I do.
Cappuccino or lattes are my weakness! Not the flavored ones though, I am a purist. I don’t want pumpkin spiced, mocha or any other flavors.
Me too. Total purist, no flavored cappuccinos or even sugar.
I love dark chocolate but don’t like almost anything else with chocolate, maybe on occasion ice cream or rarely chocolate cake. However if I don’t have any milk chocolate will do, my husband like it and drinking chocolate, yikes!
The same with apples, I love apples, but, almost never apple pie, on occasion German GF makes good apple strudel, she is such excellent baker, I would have little slice. But no whipping cream.
I am the same. I hate sugar in my coffee or tea.
My husband loves apple strudel! He spent time in Austria to study engineering. He raved about the pastries.
I lived in Austria for a while!
The best cafes in Vienna!
That’s what my husband says too.
We both love dark chocolate. We never eat milk chocolate.
I saved $50 tonight after learning this. I feel thrifty.
I always say that the people who order all of those additional artificial flavorings in their coffee aren’t coffee lovers.
It’s really annoying to be standing in line at a coffee shop behind these people! It takes them five minutes to order their stupid coffee!
The attempt to get our mayor recalled failed. There were thousands of signatures but certainly not enough to get her out.
Eh, she is typical of Louisiana politicians who are a very colorful bunch!
Oh my gosh, I still laugh about the comments of our mayor who was in office during hurricane Katrina.
He called New Orleans, “Chocolate City.” That remark didn’t go over very well.
Then he criticized the New York firefighters by saying that they couldn’t fix the “Hole in the ground,” referring to 911!
He didn’t like any criticism about how long he was taking to get our city back and running. So, he made the horrible comment about New York and 911.
He was an incredible embarrassment to our city!
Or, what about the infamous governors in our past, one was on 60 Minutes and bragging about being a crook! LOL 😆
He openly admitted on 60 Minutes that he loved to gamble. He claimed to be an honest crook!
He went to prison, along with many other Louisiana politicians.
❤️🙂
just like every year, i'll be hiding & looking for chocolate eggs. my elderly parents will have to search too! poor them.
❤️🙂
Nice day here! I’m going to go for a stroll in a bit.

We don't usually get tornados until May and June. Last year was very quiet here.
