The 'I need a distraction' thread.

[long road]

Bit too wobbly to play right now.

How are you holding up Beckie? I've seen your day has been really hard.

[tamobhuuta]

Liquorice is horrid!

[Cacoethes]

That's a shame.
There will be other times though!

I am alive.
Thanks for asking

[long road]

I guess it is what it is. Feeling quite lost.

Alive is a good start. Can't do much without also being alive.

Liquoricee is not too popular here on ryl it would seem. Zurg is in Denmark I think and I know in scandanavian countries it is generally very popular, while I was in Finland almos all the sweets had it. I bought what I thought were fruit pastilles things and they were but with added liquorice!

[Cacoethes]

Eugh!
I'm not a fussy eater at all and will eat pretty much anything, but liquorice is a definite no!

[long road]

It is a pretty strong flavour!

[Cacoethes]

Tis indeed!

At work, whenever we have to dish out olives, we get half the staff declaring their hatred for them and making faces and half the opposite!
Personally, i LOVE olives. But another aquired taste

[long road]

Olives are actually much more bitter when fresh to the point of being nearly inedible. They have be soaked in brine (salt water) to make them edible. I love olives myself. Green ones for snacking black ones on pizza.

[Cacoethes]

Makes sense.
I also saw a picture of freshly pressed olive. It's literally shrek green!
Had massive olive cravings when i was pregnant with Jasmine. I was in hospital most of the time but one of the nurses was like my olive dealer and kept bringing them in for me!
Jasmine actually hates olives XD

[long road]

Does that mean olive oil is Shrek juice? XD

Lol at the olive dealer!

To be fair to Jasmine I didn't like Olives until I was around 13 -14. Took a while to acquire the taste. Plus I thinks kids tongues have more tastebuds when they are younger.

[Cacoethes]

Shrek juice XD

Yeah possibly!

Morning everyone!

[tamobhuuta]

Morning. How are you?

[Cacoethes]

Morning.
I'm not great. But meh.
Got dentist later.

How are you?

[tamobhuuta]

Sorry to hear that. Dentist probably doesn't help! Is there anything you can do to look after yourself?

I am ok. Having coffee while big sister and L tidy the breakfast bar! I am too spasmy to help lol.

Edit
They found me a shower cap!

[Cacoethes]

It doesn't!
But glad I'm finally getting the tooth sorted. It's been literal years.
I'll probably get a costa after the appointment.

Sounds nice. Apart from the spasmy bit!

[tamobhuuta]

I do like a nice Costa. Do you have a favourite beverage? Well done for going to the dentist after all this time :)

[Cacoethes]

I'm in a hot chocolate phase atm.
They're doing a rolo hot chocolate now and that's tasty

Thanks :)
It's not often i have a free day for an appointment

[tamobhuuta]

Have you tried their muffin with mini rolos on top? Very tastey, it's got caramel in the middle.

[Cacoethes]

I haven't! Sounds delicious though.
The cadburys muffins at subway have caramel in them. So good!

[tamobhuuta]

They sound delicious. You know, I've never had a subway. It smells great when I walk past. I had a greggs for the first time when I was in hospital. A cheese pastry. It was ok.
