I wonder if soy milk is actually of Durlan origin.

Porridge is the breakfast of choice for me during the week, except in summer when I'll switch to Kelloggs All-Bran.

I've read stories about mill workers with their lungs full of fibres. Every time I rush off for the train (ie always) I choke on All Bran fibres. How can it be a healthy breakfast if it's shortening my lifespan like a mill worker?

Maybe soy milk and all-bran fibres are conspiring to drastically shorten the life spans of all earthlings!

I love the word porridge. I wish we said it more in the US.

We have versions here made of rice. The Filipino term is lugaw, the Chinese call it congee, and when we add chicken we cann it arroz caldo.

We have Cream of Wheat and Cream of Rice. Collectively, they and oatmeal can be referred to as porridge, but we're more likely to hear "hot cereal". They only time I ever heard "porridge" growing up was in Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

Are you putting on weight thothkins?

No, but let me know when the bears are coming back for their breakfast, will you? scoff, scoff, scoff...

The circumstellar habitable zone, referring to the area in star-systems where planets might support liquid water, is colloquially called the "Goldilocks zone".

I stopped at "circumstellar" thinking my weight was about to be mocked. I did not take the porridge!

Seven years ago I used to weigh 200 pounds. Now I'm hovering between 140 to 160 pounds. At my lowest I was 140. Sigh, that weight can sure creep up on ya...

I'd rather not discuss weight.

Weights and measures, on the other hand, is pretty interesting. I personally wish the US would adopt the metric system.

I think only Liberia and Myanmar, besides the USA, have not adopted the metric system? I may be wrong though.

I'm terrible at thinking in distances. Whenever someone says it takes X km to get somewhere, I need to ask them to say how much time it will take assuming normal traffic conditions. Only then can I really understand how far away it is.

You'd fit in fine in Texas, Ibby. People here always give distance in driving time. I'm pretty good with distance and direction, so I don't like it given in driving time myself.

I've always wanted to visit Texas. Some beautiful scenery, great history, and delicious food!

Texas is h-o-t.

Any definition works.

I'm used to the heat. But I do prefer going to cooler climates for von. But, I'll still go to hot areas if there's something there I really want to visit - Uluru in Australia, skydiving in Dubai, ancient temples in Mexico, the Serengeti in Tanzania, pyramids in Egypt, Petra in Jordan, Tel Aviv in Israel, the Taj Mahal in India...

I don't really like the heat, so I spend most of the long Houston summer in the air conditioning.

I think that's why many of Southeast Asia's biggest cities have so many malls. It gets so hot and humid here!

I've always heard that Houston is the most air-conditioned city in the world, but I don't know if that's true. I know it runs at my house from April to October.

Is that all day? Here in the Philippines we typically run the air-conditioning every night while we sleep. But even at summer's hottest, we don't run it during the day. That may be because it's usually windy.

I love air conditioning. seriously. When the aliens land I will show off my air conditioner's performance.

I love my air conditioner.

I like hair conditioner. Sometimes.

I was just reading Captain Comet's first appearance. Aliens come to Earth and suck out the atmosphere using giant spinning tops.

As Comet talks to the defeated, last alien it reveals it got the idea from someone showing off their air conditioning on reverse.

Sound familiar to anyone... like Peebs?

Could be worse ... I could've shown off my lovely humanoid skin.

That could be interesting.

And, yes, Ibby, we run the AC day and night.
