More bubble wrap.

Something that makes me believe I'm part alien - I have never had a desire or urge to pop bubble wrap.

Maybe you need therapy?

If they insist on praying for her, let them, nobody said Ren has to wait there while they do it.

If there is a god, I doubt he operates it like a supermarket, with ques, waiting in line, with a '10 prayers or less' line and a self-service section which repeatedly breaks down every time it is used, coming up with a message stating 'undetected prayer in the weighing area, please call a service-angel' who, after waiting about half an hour to an hour, if you are lucky, will come and give it a quick whack with a monkey wrench.

There are some - you just reminded me that I have a list of such organisations that I was given a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks!
They might want to pray for you, but whatever.

A service and new brakes for my car. Kayleigh said she'll help pay for it.

Office supplies, basically. And beer. :P

Margarine..EW, disgusting!. That stuff is an abomination fit for little more than oil lamp fuel.

Can't stand that stuff. Don't much care for those fake butter spreads that are just part butter and the rest vegetable oil, either.

Granted the proper stuff is rock hard when it comes out of the fridge and a nightmare to spread, but one can always cut a thin slice off the block and microwave it for 2-3 seconds. But for  taste, it has to be the real thing. Even the smell of margarine makes me want to blow chunks, stuff is just fucking nasty.

Still haven't gotten any of these things. Milk is now on the list too. I'm hoping to get to the shops in the afternoon tomorrow. I'm doing a preliminary small business course in the morning in the city.

Remember all those years when we were being fed the message that butter was really really bad for us and we should all be eating margarine?

And then it turned out that the opposite was true? That the hydrogenation process made margarine vastly worse than butter.

Of course now we are being told again that good quality margarine doesn't have significant amounts of trans fats any more. Which doesn't erase the fact that dietitians were telling us for years to eat some seriously nasty crap that was causing heart attacks.

I have it, yes, but in moderation. Certainly not every day. Kayleigh uses butter for cooking most things. Otherwise she uses olive oil.

Olive oil is the best oil to use. Best to use the Australian olive oil as well, the imports are often adulterated with cheaper vegetable oils. The only negative with olive oil is that it has a lower smoke point, but that's not a big deal for most types of cooking.

She uses Cobram Estate olive oil which is made in Victoria. Kayleigh is from Victoria so she likes that aspect.

Count me as reckless.  I love butter, but can't afford it.  So margarine it is.  Found one brand that I really, really like.  Even Martha, our cat, wants a nibble of the toast with Country Crock.

We can afford most things. Mainly the £40 bottle of bubbly we can't afford.

I want to buy a pink noise generator I spotted on eBay. I can't say I need it, though, I already have one.
