Something is wrong when temperatures in the mid 30s feel warm, but that's where we are and for the first time in a week it was warm enough for me to get out and run. I had planned a relatively gentle run but my legs wanted to open the taps so that's what I did - essentially running until I...

A bit more demolition. I isolated a nasty draft insofar as I figured it was coming from behind the sink unit, but couldn't figure out how to get everything apart. Today I figured how to get everything apart, undid the drain pipes and cut the feed pipes so I could remove the top with the sink in...

Curious. My wife doesn't use eggs at all in her recipe. With the price of eggs that's probably a good thing.

Erk, I didn't know it was in a lot of foods. That must be a real hassle. Is it a problem even if it's in a shampoo rather than something you specifically eat or drink?

My wife makes pumpkin muffins with chocolate chips. I'm tempted to try a few muffin recipes myself, although whether I'd come up with good flavor combinations remains to be seen. I'd be minded to try unconventional pairings to see what happened. Do you have a recipe for banana muffins you can...

PEG? Polyethylene glycol?

Most times when I read news I'm looking for the baked in bias. If there's no commonality at all between reports I usually assume both are opinion pieces and ignore both.

That doesn't sound like much fun at all.

Awesome. Can't beat a simple "nah" in response to an assertion. Good job.

I was never really into drinking juice but these days enjoy a glass of orange juice in the morning. It's not something I'd want to drink in great quantity through the day because of the sugar content, even if it is natural sugar. If all sorts of different herbs close your throat is it the herb...

I think you're missing what "speaking the same thing" means here. We need to be united on what is important but there's a big difference between unity and uniformity. We can't be "speaking the same thing" if we are allowed to have different opinions on music style, on how often to take...

That's an interesting idea. I'm not entirely sure I agree with the concept that "gathered" doesn't mean physically gathered but would entirely accept that gathering doesn't necessarily mean anything like what we currently call church. The second paragraph is very good - it's about how we live...

Can you drink any juice at all, or is that a preference thing? My wife and I found water got tedious and we didn't want the sugar that comes with regular fizzy drinks or the fake sugars that come with diet drinks. We use a Soda Stream to fizz water and add a splash of key lime juice to it. It...

If coffee causes you problems like that why don't you drink something else instead?

What's your point here? We're not talking about a little leaven, we're talking about people taking some responsibility for themselves. Where does the Bible say we can't have different groups meeting based on differences of opinion in the things that don't matter? To take a simple example, since...

It's really hard to comment on a diagnosis made by someone I don't know, based on behaviors I haven't seen, published by a left-leaning source I'm not particularly inclined to trust. Both sides would appear to be increasingly inclined to selectively quote to make their preferred point so...

When we run out of clean clothes we want to wear, or when the laundry basket has enough in it to make it worth running the washing machine.

I don't have any particular expectations. Sometimes "see you later" implies something soon, it might imply a mutually assumed next meeting (e.g. next Sunday at church), or it might not imply anything at all. It's odd if the cashier at the hardware store says "see ya later" when the most likely...

Excuses for Trump? I'm wondering why it's so important to him, not making excuses for him. At the same time I'm wondering why it's so important to everyone else - the Democrats who were so keen to rename everything from colleges to sports teams to fake maple syrup seem remarkably annoyed when...

If you drink cheap and nasty coffee you need to put something in it to mask the taste :)
