    These aren't the goldfish you are looking for!  They are swordtails not goldfish!

    I want to take a nap but I think it is better to go to bed for the night.

    Well don't they have nine of them anyway?

    Our home can get very quiet in the middle of the night, after all of the street racers have crashed into trees. And during that time, I can occasionally hear the crunching from one of the cats eating the cat treats left for them. So it seems like they may nap at times but they are often roaming around when others are sleeping.

     Wow!  I was waiting for the movie started and must have forgotten that I can do a web search on my phone.  Amazing!  My phone has internet too!

    I bought popcorn today,

    kernels 

    to pop in a saucepan with a bit of sunflower oil when I want a snack

    I eat it quite frequently, have an air popper but it's useless 

    it doesn't need much oil and has omega 6 fatty acids so not all bad

    extra virgin olive oil with omega 3 better but far too expensive these days

    I too had popcorn... I was watching a video from a guy called PotatoJet. Or something like that. And he had popcorn. That's all it took.

    ...I still use butter, Actually healthier than Oleomargarine which essentially is little more than artificially coloured and flavoured Crisco™)

    I remember the '50s & '60s when margarine (aka: oleo or oleomargarine, i.e. puréed, flavored, animal fat), yuk,frown was on the table, and butter forbidden.  But these days I use real butter ("Land-O-Lakes") and sometimes hydrogenated olive oil ("Olivio") for spreading or garnish, and a quality, light, vegetable oil ("Crisco Oil") for heavy frying, but mostly butter now for table use and light frying.  It's one of those simple luxuries that I treat myself to, like pure maple syrup, honey, pulpy orange juice, and dense, dark, whole wheat bread (Strohmann's "Dutch Country").  But butter has had a bad rap for decades, and if used in moderation (no snacking on sticks of butter) isn't significantly worse than substitutes.   Over my long years of observing and trying to understand science and scientists, I've come to the opinion that nutritionists and psychiatrists still aren't much above witchdoctor stage.  Good at the obvious cases, but otherwise fickle, and their pronouncements pontificous and "as weak as water".cheeky

    ...indeed, particularly about nutritionists and scientists (I also  throw economists in to that category) .

    I grew up in the late years of the "oleo wars" in Wisconsin when coloured Oleo (that which was made to look like butter) was prohibited in the state.  This was a long lasting issue that dated back to 1895. The only kind of oleo allowed was white in colour (which looked like a stick of Crisco™ shortening).  At the Wisconsin-Illinois state line there were stores on the Illinois side with huge signs advertising Oleo for sale which lasted into the late 1960s. after the "truce" was signed.

    Somehow this thread found me again. But I will sometimes stray onto page 2 of the Commons.

    I once found my pin cushion on the floor by stepping on it.  This is not the way I want to find my pin cushion.

    These aren't. the glasses I'm looking for.  Should have been more specific about it.  Or maybe not look for my glasses in the kitchen where I store my cups.

    ...I was looking for the thread I use for sewing buttons on shirts but I only came across this one.

  • Sfariah DSfariah D Posts: 26,565

    I think there is a game on tonight.  I wonder if my tv is on the channel to watch that game?  I hope so.  Mum said it was on channel 50 and this is channel 50.1.

    I'm afraid you would have to stray a bit further than page 2 this time.
