Lola at the Coffee House

@farmerman,

How could I catch on. I don't do tech. tricks.

I suppose it is seen as really, really clever in some centres of intellectual excellence.

It's just some novel barm-pottery to me.

No. I copied and pasted your link for a thread where faking pictures was being discussed.

@spendius,

Clever ... I'm still not too good at cutting and pasting, or whatever it's called ... sometimes manage okay, but it's still hit and miss with me.

Lovely little film ...

Actually vonny posted the link to that video on the previous page of this thread.

I guess you didn't notice it because you hadn't had your coffee yet and weren't quite awake. Wink

A really boring day at the coffee mill. Not much happening in the world.
Reminds me of King George IIIs' entry into his diary for July 2 (or 4th-i forget) 1776.

Perhaps everything seemed dull since the American Revolution was during that time a 'standoff' and of course the king was (though the Americans characterised George as a tyrant) in those years he acted as a constitutional monarch supporting the initiatives of his ministers.

As for you fm that means there's time to wake up and smell the coffee as Lennon said, 'Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans' or I guess feeling bored... who knows... have another cup of coffee. One thing is for sure after a while... stuff happens!

George III has his statue on the Bargate in Southampton, although he's dressed as the Emperor Claudius.

@firefly,

I've never had corn muffins, thanks ff, but I'd love to rectify that and try one - still recuperating, so allowed to spoil myself for a little longer (that's my excuse anyway!).

@igm,

They're a bit sticklers for form igm. Not having noticed I suppose that I had already given vonny the credit myself.

Beware the temptresses. Many a man has gone down just about the time when his earning capacity has peaked after being fed certain slow acting, high energy, substances during his productive years. Cruise ships abound with the widows I'm told. The substances need to be attractive to work.

Have you not read Mansfield Park?

High fructose corn syrup, or HFCS, is a corn derivative used as a sweetener and preservative in most processed foods. It became popular in the 1980s as a cheap, easy-to-produce alternative to sugar made from sugar cane and beets. It is not the same as corn syrup, which is readily available in grocery stores. Although regular corn syrup isn't healthy, it is not nearly as dangerous as high fructose corn syrup, which has been linked to diabetes, obesity and heart disease.
High fructose corn syrup is made up of fructose, the sugar found in fruit, and glucose, which comes from corn. When HFCS is made, the two sugars are combined, usually with more fructose. In fruit, fructose is not as dangerous, because the fiber in fruit slows down the absorption of the sugars. However, when HFCS is added to drinks and processed foods, it has the potential to cause real damage to the body because it goes straight to the liver, bypassing the pancreas, which normally processes sugar. The HFCS is then turned into fat and stored in the body.
According to Dana Flavin, PhD, a former assistant to the associate bureau director for toxicology at the FDA, "Fructose may have less impact on appetite than glucose, so processed foods rich in fructose can contribute to weight gain, obesity, and its related consequences by failing to manage appetite." Because high fructose corn syrup is not treated as regular sugar in the body, it has the potential to cause a lot of damage. The body never gets the signal that it has enough food, so there is no feeling of "fullness" that would normally accompany a meal. The sweetener also impacts the sugar levels in blood, causing a sugar rush. After the rush has passed, blood sugar levels drop, and the body begins to crave more sugar. This cycle can repeat indefinitely if the person does not significantly cut back on his high fructose corn syrup consumption, leading to diabetes, hypertension or obesity
