    How am I expected to eat only half the chocolate bar when I have no way to persevere it for later. Two servings in one chocolate bar but it tastes so good I want it all.

    If I have chocolate I eat one square per day.

    Me too, but I don't put a limit on the size of the square! blush 

     

    Actually, though since recently my doctor beat me up about my sugar levels I have cut way down.  Unfortunately I have a stockpile of really really good ($$) chocolate pieces, that based on the one piece per day restriction, is a years worth of temptation. sad

    The coffee was also too sweetened so I feel a sugar overload which is not a good feeling.  Apparently I pressed the plus button instead of the minus button which added too much sweetness to the coffee.  I think that is what happened.  Basically I somehow messed up the mobile order and that with the whole bar of chocolate makes me feel a tad sick.  Hopefully I will feel better soon.

    As with all nationalities there are many different types of bread made in Italy.   I often buy Italian bread an hadn't actually realsied that there was one that did use pine nuts.

    Please define "by day 2".  Does that mean "prior to day 3"? or "Prior to day 2"? devil

    The sky has dark clouds outside.  It might rain soon.  I just realized that I still haven't reinstalled Bryce 7 and Vue on my computer after I replaced the RAM module in the computer.

    I found a tutorial online for software programming.  The webpages have text is black on a green background.  Why??  My eyes hurt.

    It could be worse...red on a green background!   surprise

    However, how much can you trust the tutorial if they make such an amatureish mistake?

    It is eight pm and I am trying to decide if I want a snack but I only have an hour to decide before my fast starts at nine and ends at six thirty.

    ...fnally appears that winter has released us from it's damp cold claws (at least for the next ten days)  Got the ol bike out yesterday, topped off tyre pressure, and took a ride around the east side of town up to the old neighbourhood. Tomorrow starts a mini heat wave though Tuesday with temps in the upper 80s to low 90s. then back down into the 70s and low 80s.

    Hi everyone! (^_^)/... *delurks because chocolate was waved about...*

    I found a tutorial online for software programming.  The webpages have text is black on a green background.  Why??  My eyes hurt.

    Possibly in an attempt to remind you of a greenscreen? (although that should probably be green on a black(ish) background...).

    mmmmm chocolate :9... *relurks*

    Sunday!  Time to be an old person and take my car for a Sunday afternoon drive.  Hmmm..., where to go, where to go?  My SS deposit comes on the 3rd Wed. of each month and my budget is tight this month already, and I have four Wednesdays yet to wait. sad  I think I'll limit today's adventure to a 5 mile jaunt to an ice cream shop in the next town, for a small sundae. yes  Perhaps I'll take the back roads over hill and dale and see if I can run over a turkey! devil

    Complaint:  What is it with some of these web sites like Tumbler that now have absolutely HUGE photos?  You link to a page and there's this HUGE image of a nose an eye and a corner of a mouth taking up your whole screen forcing you to massively scroll to see the text that's on that page also.  You have to zoom down the browser to 50 or even 30% to get the whole page.  angry

    Look, I've got 1920x1080 HD monitor and it's perfectly adequate for everything I do.  Yeah, yeah, I know there are bigger screen resolutions out there but we don't all have them.  Nor should we have to crank down our browser zoom to 50% or less and still not get the whole page on screen.  This is well into the 21st century folks!  Isn't there a way for the webpage code to automatically fit the image and other text of a page onto whatever size screen (within limits) it finds itself on?  Let us up zoom the photo if we want to, don't make us down zoom!  angryWhat about people with small tablets and smart phones? surprise  I swear, I think some of these neophyte web bloggers just bought the biggest screen their mommys could afford and just blog away without consideration for their viewers. (*sigh!*)

    I still say letting the common man have access to computers was a big mistake. frown

    Yes, it is called Responsive Web design.  But you have to actually use some code (and understanding) to make it work.  You also have to care.  Sounds like that one didn't care.
