there's a 50% box at the organic food store where they put vegetables that are not that fresh anymore. today i took a broccoli from there that has to be eaten very soon, but when i paid i forgot to tell them where i got it, so i guess i paid full price for it.

I'm hungry and might start dinner soon. How early is too early for early dinner.

It's time to eat when you're hungry enough to actually cook something.
Doesn't matter what you call the meal - late luch, early dinner, high tea - it's food! gey essen!

The electric kettle died this morning. I've had this one for 20 years, so it's lived a good life. I have no idea how you'd fix it, so to the landfill it goes.
I was thinking of getting a gooseneck for making pourover coffee, but then that would be annoying if boiling water for anything else, so I'm just going to get another normal one. But it has to have automatic shut-off - the thing I love most about an electric kettle is not being halfway to work or whatever and thinking "uh-oh, did I turn the stove off?"

I bought very nice soft cheese but didn't buy crackers, because they're coming in the order tomorrow, and now if I want that cheese, I have to make toast, and then partner will smell it and will know we have THE CHEESE and he'll eat all of it.
So, I have to wait until he goes to the gym to eat my cheese.

But it has to have automatic shut-off - the thing I love most about an electric kettle is not being halfway to work or whatever and thinking "uh-oh, did I turn the stove off?" I have a stainless steel pour over stove top kettle because I don't have room for an electric one. I find it fine for everything I need to boil water for, you just have to get used to pouring gently. What I miss is having a singing kettle that lets me know when the water is boiled. But I set the timer on my phone when I put up a pot of water to check it in 5 minutes. That's about how long it takes. My first world problem - I switched to a new version of deodorant from the same brand I've used for years and now my armpits always feel clammy. I hate clammy pits.

If we had a functioning stove, then that would be a reasonable solution, but that is going to wait until we have the kitchen torn apart this fall.
The electric kettle I ended up getting is HUGE. I didn't want to wait until I had time to go to an actual store, so I went onto Amazon, and the ones I could find from brands I'd actually heard of all are like 2 liters. Who boils 2 liters of water?! Are you making pourover coffee for an army? Anyway, that's what I got, so I'm dealing with it.

whatsapp isn't working because it needs an update, but my phone is too full for that. i don't know what to delete (and it takes ages to go through the photos etc. to decide which to delete, and i want to keep all the big videos). i'd like to delete old voice messages etc. in whatsapp, but only when i know what they are - and as long as i can't update whatsapp, i can't check.

rikita - can you download to a thumb-drive, clear space on the phone, and delete at leisure?

I have a 30-something gb memory card in my phone.
There may be something in your file settings that allows you to search for voice messages saved onto the phone?

We bought a new kettle fairly recently and almost all the mainstream ones here in Europe were 1.7 litres, which I thought was odd.

I started coughing and realized I had to pee, so I ran to the bathroom. Well I'm still coughing on the toilet when I realize I pooped too. Sneeky poops. Glad it happened when I was on the potty.

LC somehow has lost the remote to the fan/heater in his room. (he says it isn't lost, he just can't find it)
It is a smart device so can be controlled through an app. But the app can't find it. Argh. Have spent ages downloading app, entering machine's serial number, switching wifi on machine, putting in machine wifi password, home wifi password and it just won't connect.
And now I'm all headachy as while searching for the remote I stirred up a lot of dust in his room.
We can buy a replacement remote if the other one doesn't turn up.

We can buy a replacement remote if the other one doesn't turn up. After 2 weeks of trying to get my tv remote to work I spent the $6.95 and ordered a new one. Don't wait. Get the new remote.

Or even 0.5 liters... all I want is a single cup of coffee. OK I just spent 20 minutes on the internet reading about people ignoring the minimum fill level of electric kettles.

Total FWP: I have a few red spots on my face, like broken capilliaries--that's life.
But one of them is just above the divot in my top lip. it looks like I made a mistake with my lipstick, so i have to put a little lipstick on my skin to match it up with the rest of my lip.
I have to make a 'mistake' with my lipstick to avoid looking like I made a mistake.

Woke up with a craving for pancakes, but no syrup in the house and it's Germany so no possibility of buying any on a Sunday.

We used to make 'mock maple syrup' which is a reasonable sub, even if we didn't have hte maple extract.

I’m still waiting for my car to be repaired. Rang the repairer today, explaining that my rental car 60-day allowance expires next week, and I can’t get to appointments across the border without a car, or organise moving house. They’re hoping it will be ready by the end of next week. Vibes appreciated.

I've only been to one gig this year. Have found three gigs I'd like to go to but one is during the week we always go to Holland in July. The other two are in November when we usually go on holiday.
