Beetroot is well known stool softener, in liquid and solid form. To keep regular, one should consume beetroot salad or soup once or twice a week.

It's two cats. I stumbled on a meme based on this pic and the OOP commented how weird but fun it is to see the pic in the wild.

Had one of those electric bug zappers on the wall at work what was hooked to a wall switch. I taped it in ON position with a note 'keep on' and every once in a while some eager closer picked off the tape to switch it off along with the other ones in the row.

My alarm cannot be anything with a real melody or I will hum it for hours on. I use some default tune what's more of a trill, does the job. My text/email alert used to be popping the bottle cap sound, my current phone has some brrp noise close enough to a fart to make me giggle - I'm old but not mature.

As for ring tones, I used to purchase some for pocket change from the last page of the tv guide. All fun and games until all the old relatives started dropping like flies. It just doesn't feel right to get an invitation to another funeral preceded by the Scissors Sisters 'I don't feel like dancing' or Eamon's 'fuck you'. For a long time my ring tone was the old school land line ringing. From the moment I was able to choose the ring tone from my playlist it has been 'Heavy Cross' by Gossip. I feel it's suitable for all occurrences while being only mine.

What's wrong with pal, mate?

Only buy items on sale if you actually use them. You can get bowling shoes 2-4-1 but if you don't bowl, what's the point? I knew a man who ordered two air guns (bb guns for Americans?) for the price of one because of savings but conveniently forgot he only has one hand so he won't shoot like ever, but c'mon, savings

Knitting is such a comforting hobby. My time killers are socks, relatively small and formulaic projects.

Patty Lions has a blog where she shows different techniques and ways to knit. There is her article about twisted stitches. Once again, for dish cloths it really doesn't matter if the stitches are twisted or not but you may find it's actually easier to knit non-twisted.

Happy knitting and cooking!

I'm going to be such an ass because it's the wrong comm but you're twisting your stitches. On the other hand, fab colours and a dishcloth is a dishcloth.

I made these a good few years back. A friend commissioned these for a present for her friend, and they were highly appreciated, for what I heard.

The pattern for the ruffles came from Pinterest, the bobble pattern I charted out on a piece of paper. Forethought thumbs, no gusset. The bows are made of lingerie lace, that's stretchy. Buttons and beads were chosen from my neverending stash and sewing them on took several hours.

For bobbles like this I learned to knit backwards without flipping the work. It's slower for me and I do like 8 stitches max but still felt more efficient than flipping the work after every 5-8 stitches.
