Why am I the only one who actually seems to give a fuck?

I AM impressed. I was just thinking I want to get into running again. You're an inspiration!

Well if I said how I really feel I'd sound all stalky and mushy.

Running triggers certain impulses in predators and that's all I need to know.

I'm sitting here reading a story and simultaneously watching tv, as I often do.

I'm reading a short story which features a stray dog named Katie. When they name her that, I'm thinking, that's dumb, what kind of a dog name is "katie?"

and --

in the tv show I'm watching - THERE'S A STRAY DOG NAMED KATIE!

I'm creeped out.

Was the movie based upon the book?

Thinkpad sounds like an artificially intelligent sanitary towel. Probably made in Tampa.

how's this for a segue? I'm watching Criminal Minds; a show where they chase killers who are referred to as "unsubs" i.e., unknown suspects. And what commercial comes on? A KFC ad.

"an unsub frame of mind."

signs, signs, everywhere I see signs

How do you slice a loaf of bread without squishing it?
I am a spoilt child of the '70s. 1972 if you have to know (how rude!)
Growing up we had a bread slicer. I say bread, it was manual and could be adjusted for ham or beef or fingers or whatever was your bag.

Apparently, the 'rents tried to get a replacement a couple of years ago, but the new one they got was rubbish and ended up in the charity shop.

The only bread I grew up slicing (kiddies didn't use the bread slicer!) was Italian bread. And that has a crust so thick it's like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I learned how to slice cheese. I learned how to butter fresh bread with real, cold butter (warm the butter up TBH) and to spread crackers without them cracking. BUT. Deli bread I buy, I always have to squash the air out of it to slice it. Squeeze and saw. Never the same once I've got at it.

Is this a lost art? Mum mourns the lost art of her parents' generation - carving a chicken so it lasts all week. Have my generation lost yet another art?
