And what did you use the paraffin for?

I have a few old red council roadwork paraffin lamps.
I have them filled with citronella oil for party nights on the assumption that might reduce mosquitos.

I didn't use it for anything that practical. It was just for whatever trivial pyrotechnic stuff came to mind.

I'm very glad now because I won the following set - a foamer and two sprayers :D :mrgreen: It was the top prize. And I'm going to win also a set of flower seedlings too because there were just... two people who entered the contest :mrgreen:

P.S. The net claims the English name of this flower is Clustered Bellflower :D In Polish, my language, it would be dzwonek skupiony - literally the Concentrated Bell; one cool name :)

I like to do at least 30 chews per spoon full of food but with noodles and spaghetti it's next to impossible

I can get to about an average of 20 and then the little blighters start sliding down if there own accord and with bland food like that it can take a good 30 chews to even get the saliva ducts going

You count your chews? And I thought you were so un-nerdy.

I know what you mean about stuff escaping down the gullet before it's been smashed into pieces though. Try liquidising it in a blender first. Then you could drink it as a smoothie. Weird but practical.

I don't think smoothies would do the trick for me

I'm trying to improve my digestive system and I think it seems to be working
You wanna see the difference in my stool since I started chewing my food

I've never chewed my food properly before so that's why I'm banging on and on and on about it

My dentist says people chew too much and it overworks your teeth. He's an odd bloke.

I've never had a smoothie. Too new-fangled for me. But I think it's just the name puts me off. Too commercialised.

That could be why I don't want one. Cold soup is worse than cold tea. But you could microwave your spaghetti smoothie. You know how much you like microwaves.

You'll thank me for the advice when you've lost all your teeth.

Probably why I've never had any fillings because I don't chew

I witnessed three kids in a small wood trying to start a forest fire when I was on a walk with a relative once. They successfully started a fire so me and my relative told them to put it out immediately as it might spread and they started stamping it out with their feet but were struggling since it was quite an angry fire already, even though they had just started it off.

One of them looked really sheepish and sounded very anxious and said that he wasn't with the other two. :lol:

The ring leader of the group seemed excited and remorseless.

I am five foot and my first, middle, and last name all have five letters! I say this often as this is really cool (at least to me..)

another silly thing, when me and my boyfriend marry i will make him take my name! just kidding, his also has five letters so it would still work. OR we could hypenate because five plus five equals ten which it will be combine.. :3

I actually don't feel sorry for myself why would I
The treatment of me as a child turned me into an animal
I've been a happy dog
And I love treats
And being told I'm a good boy or girl or whatever the heck they want me to be at that moment in time
I can do tricks as well

I've always been more of a feral cat. I mostly try to avoid being noticed but will also barf in your shoes if provoked. :skull:
