Yesterday was one of my fast days so I woke up pretty hungry and I needed to go out and vote and then go off to Alloa so I thought I would just finish off the contents of the tin of beans in the fridge with the last of the bread.

Some way into my breakfast I noticed how the beans tasted a bit icky and then I noticed a pork sausage.

I’ve been Vegetarian since 16… I’m nearly 46 but I’m also frugal and hate to waste food.
So I picked out and rolled the sausages into the compost bin and finished the beans on toast but it really tasted and felt rank.

I spent the whole morning feeling kind of sick and sort of contaminated.

My partner had purchased pork and beans in a tin in error, he meant to get veggie sausages and thought that’s what they were when he ate them while I starved.

No amount of toothbrush or mouth wash action could purge the weirdness.

to be honest, this made me LOL.

no thanks, I’ll stick to classical music/Christian hymns/Sinatra.

Fireworks regulations.

that happened in 3 states, I believe.

I guess New Jersey isn’t all that bad.

the southern half isn’t bad at all.

yhwx said:

I guess that won’t happen because the fireworks companies must be making big bucks.

what won’t happen?

I know, and we have the anime thread for talking about those. The good news is that there are just as many positives in the world. Sunshine, long walks outside, building a bookcase, living in the First World, ice cream, fast cars, freedom, hot dogs, air conditioning, above- and below-ground pools,Daft Punk, firearms, space, small animals, vegetables, Star Wars, sliced and unsliced bread, shredded cheese, lifting weights, hot cocoa. I’m probably missing some.

fixed.

yeah, I’ve a lot of them go off around my area tonight and last night, even though they are illegal(except for the pros) in NJ.

Really? In the entire state?

yep, except for the pros. I think NJ is one of three states that bans them.

They were illegal here for public use up until a few years ago.

Incredibly nothing has been destroyed by them yet (this is sarcasm). Almost like you can trust people to act like adults sometimes.

the only thing I trust people to do, is to act like idiots sometimes. Fact: people have being killed/seriously injured by others being stupid with their fireworks. It happens every 4th of July. I say leave them in the hands of the pros.

1998?

that was before the forum existed, so, no.

I am sure I posted in one in 2013, but someone else may have created the thread.

pretty sure I did.

I knew she had been in Superman '78, but I did not know she was also in Superman Returns. She played Lois Lane, a movie serial, I think.

at first, I though you were talking about William IV, but he wasn’t George III’s brother, he was his son. So what does George III’s brother have to do with this?

He was George 4th brother and George 3rd’s son he who list to George Washington who was the first president and not George Clinton who was just in charge of parliament.

He who list to George Washington? Anyway, I got confused because you originally said

Bingowings said:

George the 3rd and his brother William

Thus I though you were talking about a brother of George III, and not William IV.

?

TV’s Frink said:

Quick someone email me a hot dog.

I don’t think that is possible yet.

Bad habit, I guess.

yeah. So?

Read it more carefully. You’ll find that I created it on Memorial Day and then someone decided to bump it up today.

Just so you know, I don’t hate people in the UK. My ancestors were born in the UK. However there is that ancestor of your Queen . . .

George the 3rd and his brother William were actually rather nice. He had a rather nasty illness but compared to his potty brained son he was rather decent.

if you say so.

If you guys could have waited a bit you could have bolted the the Empire under the Regency and much of the Empire would have joined you.

didn’t know that. btw, the regency you speak of was when George III was declared mentally unfit and so was relieved of duty for a bit, right?

Every country has an unfortunate aspect to it and hopefully you will give that a moment’s thought too while the red rockets glare.

I think about that more often than you realize.

too bad, I am sorry that it has to be necessary.
