Max Crisp I think someone was taking the p*ss! I have read that frogs were used as pregnancy tests. A woman’s urine was injected into a female frog, and if the frog laid eggs in the next 24 hours, the woman was pregnant. Not to be confused with “kissing...

Pasta Al Dente.

rakski @rakski (129037) • Philippines 14 Jan

How would you know if a pasta is al dente? In my younger years, I was always with my grandma in the kitchen to serve as her assistant and run errand girl. She told me to make sure the pasta is not soggy while...

Max Crisp Just test it in the pan with the edge of a fork or similar non-sharp item. I don’t worry if it’s cooked beyond al dente, it’s still edible.

Max Crisp That’s an amazing amount of money to make from here. I wouldn’t think it was possible. I have been here, on and off, since 2008 and have only made just over $20.

Remembering 2024’s Music Losses: Herbie Flowers

Four Walls @FourWalls (70282) • United States 11 Jan

As with a number of instances in my music posts, I give you names that you don’t know, and have probably never heard. When I explain who it is, you immediately go, “Oh, yeah!” This is a case of that today as we look at another...

Max Crisp I remember Herbie Flowers as part of the British band, Blue Mink, of the late 60’s, early 70’s. Weirdly, I was listening to Boom radio today and the DJ played their hit “Randy” and mentioned his passing. It was news to me. They were only...

Did you know there is a Cockney Bible?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (344097) • Rockingham, Australia 11 Jan

Max Crisp Wow! That’s a lot of money to fork out right after Christmas. I hope it sorts out your heating problems. It’s a good idea to have the central heating serviced regularly. If the system had a corrosion inhibitor added then there shouldn’t be any sludge. If...

Regular or Wavy

Jim Bauer @porwest (94880) • United States 8 Jan

Perhaps it is one life's great debates when it comes to potato chips, which most of us enjoy eating. How do you prefer them? The crispy, thin regular ones? Or the sturdier wavy ones? For some it comes down to how they will eat...

Max Crisp I thought was going to be a discussion about your hair! We call them crisps over here, but I don’t mind regular or wavy. I don’t eat them very often and it’s usually just the regular ones when I do. I’ve turned to nuts as my preferred snack. Much...

Should they have turned the plan over?

Fleur @Fleura (30776) • United Kingdom 8 Jan

I noticed these recently-built houses a few days ago and I can’t help thinking that whoever was responsible for the paths and driveways should have swapped the plan around for the house on the left. On the right there is...

Max Crisp It doesn’t look right, but surely you can’t drive a car onto any of those hard standings? I can’t see it clearly, but it looks like it’s just a pathway immediately in front of the houses. Sometimes builders just blindly follow plans without using a bit of...

Remembering 2024’s Losses: Ron Ely

Four Walls @FourWalls (70282) • United States 7 Jan

Max Crisp [i]By “age stamp,” I mean an actor who IDENTIFIED a character for people of a certain age group. For example, most of the people my age only acknowledge one “real” Batman: Adam West. It’s the same with things like Star Trek (you don’t have to say “the original...

Max Crisp Why do you need to change it because of the outside temperature? I’d just set it to what’s comfortable for you. We are a long time dead, and then you can save as much energy costs as you want. Until then I would say to hell with the cost and saving the planet,...

TV on fire?

Always smiling @allknowing (139232) • India 30 Dec
