- i used to love watching my two neices. - tRuMaN May 28, 10:08
- That is nice. I like having family nearby, but it's usually a guilty feeling to ask them to watch. - JaxSean May 28, 10:05 1

oh, here's a question. i have landscaped quite a bit around my house. i put in a *bunch* of plants. because i bought them, i should be able to dig - kare May 28, 09:56 9
- i'd take the hardy expensive ones, anything cheap and annual i'd probably leave. - Andie May 28, 10:05
- what types of plants...and are they in growing mode right now? -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 28, 10:03
- Well, it's a good thing you're going to get your chives whacked elsewhere! -- nm - con_carne May 28, 09:58

Speaking of Ike, how do you decide when, where, and whether to occupy? -- nm - mara May 28, 09:54 3

- oh man, I have the perfect Eisenhower quote for this if I can find it. -- nm - Max May 28, 09:54
I wonder why I feel weird today. It's not weird enough to even identify. Maybe because of the short week and the generally irregular work schedule - mara May 28, 09:51 15
- it's spring you're supposed to feel different -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 28, 09:54

        I just updated my Fb status about that, a few hours ago. I think I've decided against her, simply because Zoey wanted to play with her SO badly, and - mara May 28, 10:03 1

Important culinary question: why is it that drinking milk can go bad in a few days, but heavy cream can last for weeks? -- nm - Max May 28, 09:38 34
- i've actually noticed the opposite. -- nm - kare May 28, 09:40 30
  - oh, also, soy milk seems to have an expiration date of like (exaggerating) a year. -- nm - Max May 28, 09:41 29
    - cause it is sealed, so little to no bacteria, once you open it up, stuff can get into it and make it go bad - tRuMaN May 28, 09:45
    - soy milk is not milk you can get a equal long life with UHT milk -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 28, 09:44
    - totally. but once you open it, it doesn't last for very long. a couple days for the boxes i've noticed, maybe up to 3 weeks for the stuff you find - kare May 28, 09:42 8
      - "protective atmoshphere" in the pacakig means "low level radiontion that kills germs and bacteria" - Danedukenuuk May 28, 09:51
      - word -- nm - Guy May 28, 09:49
      - Yeah, I suspect there's something there that says drink *** days after opening. -- nm - Callisto May 28, 09:44 5
        
        I think the one I have says 3 or 4 weeks. but I could be wrong. -- nm - tRuMaN May 28, 09:45 4
        
        most of the ones ive tried say 7-10 days after opening. -- nm - Guy May 28, 09:50 3
        
        like I said, I could be wrong. not at home. - tRuMaN May 28, 09:57 2
        
        Soy Dream, Trader Joe's... prob a few others, but I drink mostly rice milk now -- nm - Guy May 28, 09:59 1
        
        yick. -- nm - tRuMaN May 28, 10:07
    - just as well - it would probably take me a year to drink a whole carton of soy milk -- nm - Roger More May 28, 09:42 12
      - it's weird how soy milk now tastes benign to me like regular milk used to. regular milk on the other hand tastes like rot. -- nm - kare May 28, 09:43 11
        
        I actually don't drink either. When I was about 4, I saw my baby brother dribbling milk out of his mouth, and I stopped drinking milk altogether. - Roger More May 28, 09:47 1
        
        hey Roger, look at me: mmmm, woman. -- nm - Max May 28, 09:48
        
        I'm with you. Soy milk tastes so much better. -- nm - Callisto May 28, 09:44 8
        
        I still cant really use soy milk with cereal though. - tRuMaN May 28, 09:47 7
        
        have you tried rice milk? i much prefer it to soy - no aftertaste. -- nm - Guy May 28, 09:50
        
        I'm okay with it, though I've gone to fat free for cereal recently. - Callisto May 28, 09:48 5
        
        i wish soy ice stuff was cheaper though - tRuMaN May 28, 09:50 4
        
        Healthy food is so much more expensive than bad-for-you food. - Callisto May 28, 09:51 3
        
        milk is excaptionally cheap in most of the EU right now...in fact farmes regularily protest over the low prices -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 28, 09:58 1
        
        Well, I think all groceries are over-expensive right now (and have thought so for about a year and a half). - Callisto May 28, 10:05
        
        well, regular milk is bad for me, but I know what you are saying. - tRuMaN May 28, 09:53
    - it is a long, long shelf life. But it seems to hold up fine. -- nm - Callisto May 28, 09:42 4
      - But I need to know the chemistry here. Dano! -- nm - Max May 28, 09:42 3
        
        as kare says, it's the packaging. - Reagen May 28, 09:48 2
        
        its also the bacteria level and such. -- nm - tRuMaN May 28, 09:56 1
        
        Yeah, but it'll go bad just the same as cow's milk after it's opened. - Reagen May 28, 10:04
- fat -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 28, 09:39
- In days? Usually it lasts for a week or two. But, perhaps the way it is processed is why it can last longer? -- nm - Stephen May 28, 09:39
- less sugars for the bacteria to proliferate, I would imagine. -- nm - znufrii May 28, 09:39
LIR: Anyone else have this happen to them recently? Was going to FFS on FB and was redirected to powerantivirusscanv2 - Stephen May 28, 09:38 4
