...I can't believe I ate snails for supper. Why? Why did I eat so many of them?

What do they taste like? I've always been curious.

Honestly, I didn't notice that they had much flavor on their own. Kind of a chewy texture, but really bland in flavor. Perfect for sautee in garlic butter. They were an experiment for me in the area of alternative and sustainable protein sources. I could eat them frequently. Tonight though, my stomach is kind of like "umm, Jon...what on Earth did you put down here?"
 
I don't give a flip how bad it is for me - I will have a Whopperito one day soon. Oh yes, I will have a Whopperito.
 
My relationship with food is an emotional rollercoaster these days. I go out hiking and I see some mushrooms growing, and I think hey, those look a lot like the mushrooms that the guy at the farmer's market had and they were too expensive so I didn't get to try them.

Thrill of discovery mounts and I finally decide, heck I'm going to grab them and if they aren't the right ones I can always throw them away later.

Then there's the get to know you time, the internet searches and the determination that yeah, these probably are the right mushrooms and now I'm gonna get to eat some. So I spend some time carefully washing, cleaning up, and just taking care of the mushrooms so they'll be ready to cook and eat.

But then the really horrible thing happened as my allergies felt very aggravated after that time spent preparing the mushrooms.
And so after much thought and careful consideration, I had to decide that it was best for us to part ways. I'm not aware of any severe food allergies, but I just kind of think it might not be very wise to eat food that you suspect gave you moderately severe (just glad I didn't drive off the road while sneezing) allergy symptoms. It's just that I kind of enjoy breathing.
So the mushrooms are in the trash, and I am once again alone and bereft of exciting new foods to try.

And how was everyone else's day?

It's sad when friends don't notice what you do for them.

What's sadder is when they do notice but choose to look away.

Sigh.

Yea I've been noticing that trying to help other people is often a lost cause..

But I guess God notices what you did or tried to do for them.

I was just worried it was me or other CCers but that's between them and Abby.
It scares me and kinda reminds me of myself but I got filled with the Spirit last week in life group and it really encouraged me because I can was sorta lacking in hope not hopeless but waiting on God to heal me which is a daily process but Abby God can still help those friends of yours if you're discouraged I hope you feel better~

Sometimes I really dislike having this track-pad on my laptop. Seems I am frequently clicking things I don't want to, and that's frustrating. Often when I am writing a comment, I'll bump the pad with the meaty pad on my hand beneath my thumb, and it will cause the cursor to jump to some random area, or it will somehow select all the text and delete it. On those occasions, I am not upset because I am generally posting something that would likely get someone here riled up. It doesn't take much.

I know what this is like.

I think I'm probably allergic to shrimp.

I tend to get very sick after eating 50 of them. :(

I had that same problem, all you have to do is install ALPS/synaptics touchpad driver to decrease the sesnsitivity as windows installs a generic driver for it....if you want send me a pm of your laptop model and I can find out what touchpad model you have its usually either ALPS or synaptic..... :)

Linux here.

I could theoretically use Fn+F5 on my machine to temporarily disable the trackpad while I am typing, but then I wouldn't have something to complain about.
 
Yaweh_is_gracious what distro? I'm on Linux Mint 18 (cinnamon) and there's an option to automatically disable the trackpad when you're typing. In fact it has been there for many versions, and I think I remember it in Ubuntu back when I used Ubuntu (before it got weird.)

Look in preferences, under mouse and touchpad.
