The meaning of life? in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world
[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 2 points 8 hours ago

The meaning is to live life and enjoy as much as you can along the way.

I'm going to leave my kids more than my parents will leave me, and more than their parents left them, and hopefully they'll be shaped with better ideals because of me.

I have bad circulation in my hands, so I hated snow then and hate it now.

It's nice when I'm inside by the fire looking out.

I'm 43 and read daily for pleasure.

I write for pain.

I wonder how many of these ones who use Christianity as their key to xenophobia go to church regularly or read the Bible. I'd wager very few.

So, I was supposed to be a twin, but my twin was absorbed in the womb, which is known as "Vanishing Twin Syndrome", but i have a couple questions about this in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Proper salt and vinegar, Wuster sauce, smokey bacon, and pickled onion as well.

Yes, it's spelled Wuster.

They're Northern Irish crisps. You sometimes find them in home bargains or b&m in England. You can get them online easy enough. They blow Walkers out of the water.

Did you know that the Irish will only put a maximum of 239 beans in soups or stews? (feddit.uk)
 

One more would be too farty.

I have a bath every night, no matter the weather. 30 mins reading my current book before washing and shaving. I have a bath thermometer and keep the temperature at 43.5 degrees c. Usually some muscle relaxing herbal bath salts. It's the best part of the day. Pure bliss.

Are you familiar with that thing where you eat popcorn and you get a tough little piece lodged way back in the depths of your mouth right by the base of your tongue? (feddit.uk)
 

It's usually a bugger to get out and you need to involve a finger.

I don't recall that happening with any other foodstuff.

It's an absolute bugger to get out, often involving a finger to work it free?

I don't recall that ever happening with any other foodstuff.

Moth trap (feddit.uk)
 

We'll be getting a free skinner moth trap soon. Basic one with no lights.

I know fitting a light will be best and I will a few months down the line, but in order to demonstrate to the kids, could I use a number of UV glowsticks we have in the first instance?

Not ideal, I know, but they're good glowsticks - very bright and glow well for 8 hours or so.

I asked here as the moth place I found on Lemmy wasn't active.
