    There's a sugar free confectionery company by the name of Diablo Devilishly Good Treats over here. They do all sorts from muesli bars, chocolate, bags of sweets, even chocolate spread. Wondered if you can get them where you are? I bought some of their chocolate today, and it is pretty good. I'm actually gonna get it more often. :)

    Feeling dirty from a day of consumerism, even though it was (almost) exclusively in pound shops and charity shops. :bigoops:

    No-Carb Monster (not the white cans, but the blue ones) is almost non-existent most places I shop....but to 2nd Hemmingway's (oops, Hillside's) point, I feel you should be able to "bump" vehicles smaller than yours, who do not pull INTO the intersection as they are waiting to turn left (or right, if you domicile in the UK, Eire or Japan)

    and my mattress is so-so, but I have discovered the perfect combination of pillows zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

    :)

    Hey, guys. Someone on meetup asked for my whatsapp number? Is giving whatsapp to someone you've only chatted to online safe or stupid?

    @Writersaurus Normally I'd say its safe to give someone details for a chatting account, but whatsapp is connected to your phone number, am I right in thinking?
    If you're getting along with them well, I'd say take the plunge, cus you sometimes do to get friends, if your gut is telling you it probably won't go anywhere or you're not super keen on them, don't. It is ultimately up to you though.

    Why not try a chat room with them? Like Discord or Skype? No need to give some random your phone number. No telling who is on the other end, ya know?

    You can even face-time with them on Skype, though I've no idea if Discord has said feature.

    Discord does have that feature now, and it works better than skype! Skype is gonna get a run for their money! however discord video chat is online the desktop version and only when you're looking at that window, you can still hear them else where but can't see them unless you're looking at discord ^^

    These huge Red Wasps have taken up residence in front of my building. On the plus side, no one is going to hangout on the benches there. On the negative side, the damn things like to fly directly in front of peoples faces.

    Having a young character feel sick from eating too many sweets would be a great way to humanise her, right? Only now I feel sick.

    Tomorrow I have to get bloodwork done, and it's the type where I can't eat or drink anything beforehand.

    WHY, LIFE!? WHY MUST YOU TORMENT ME SO?

    This Organic Fairtrade Dark drinking chocolate powder at my dad's is way to hydrophobic to properly dissolve in cold milk.
    I've been stirring like crazy and there's still dry clumps floating on top. This is unacceptable.

    You really need to chill the fuck out - you're 33 dude, no ones going to be grooming you. If you want to meet people you're gonna have to share your contact details, and refusing to do so makes them cautious because it's the sort of thing someone would do if they had something to hide.

    If you have a good reason like you're in witness protection and hiding from the Medellin cartel then get the hell off meet up
