Question of the Day
Someone poses a question each day and everyone joins in with answering it. Simple. :-)
Has anyone started to make real life associations with certain friendfeed'ers based on who they are/what they post etc? Just curious.
Lix, Mark H, Eivind and 11 other people liked this
example?
- Michael W. May
I have met up with two on FF and hope to meet up with Will at some point. The high point of my summer was meeting Laura, her husband, and Jim. The time went so fast, a sign I found kinship in these lovely people.
- Janet-The Bottley Crue
Ah, I should explain, by associations I mean, for example when I think of wildlife now, I always think of Jenny, John and Tinypants, gardening reminds me of Spidra, SAM and Anika, doctors, Gordon and Victor. That sort of association, they just pop into my head when I'm reading/watching/talking/thinking about this stuff.
- Halil
I guess I do. :) SAM makes me think of wood working and chickens. Lix makes me think of beaches and pretty nail colors.
- Jyl BlueBott
So I'm not the only one then! :-)
- Halil
Halil, I have many different FF associations, e.g., photographers, music lovers, cyclists, librarians, etc. :)
- Jenny R
from Android
FWIW, I've got you in my naturalists group. :)
- Jenny R
from Android
I always confuse the word naturalist with naturist, lol, they are too similar
- Halil
LOL Definitely not naturist! :P
- Jenny R
from Android
/me wonders what I'm associated with. *better not ask*
- I like big Botts
I think of you guys in all sorts of situations... a lot of times with bird/nature stuff at Moosicorn I think Halil/John/Jenny would dig this.
- SAM
I definitely do that.
- WoH: Minding her Botts
Yes, I do that.
- Anika
I do that for sure with different items
- SteVe C
Glen is my ukulele guy and dog person! Steven P, bunnies and liberal. Ha3rvey and Derrick- bow ties and recipes. Top of my head for males.
- Janet-The Bottley Crue
from FFHound!
I hear my eyes are sad.
- Rodfather
I definitely make real life associations with FFers I've interacted with. Sometimes it will just take a post or two to set an association. Other times it's based on a deeper connection.
- John (bird whisperer)
I tend to group based on their location. It's pretty obvious there's a group of librarians.
- Rodfather
Cecily, thanks for that, I love that, flowers make me happy, so I'm glad you think of me and flowers. fyi, you make me think of cyclists, and not only that you have also completely changed my attitude towards them, I still get angry with the dangerous ones that don't think of others, but I try not to judge them as harshly as before. Also, if I complain about cyclists jumping lights, what does it say about me, when I cross roads when man is red? Hypocrite! :(
- Halil
I was going to say no, but having read the comments, I must say librarians and ukeleles always make me think of FF!

Apple cider vinegar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
Has anyone ever used this? I bought some off amazon, but it's really strong and I almost felt my teeth dissolving, only ever drank it once, but is there any 'real' health benefit from it? I don't want to end up toothless or suffer from any other health issues/side effects.
- Halil
from Bookmarklet
I got the Bragg brand
- Halil
We've only ever used it in making chutneys.
- Pete
I have read it will eat your teeth enamal prior to receiving said benefits. Try a straw so the acid isn't bathing over your teeth?
- Janet-The Bottley Crue
You can always get metal teeth !
- Mo Kargas
It's said to have a slimming effect. Maybe that's because it rids you of your teeth?
- Eivind
Years ago the garlic and vinegar diet were the trend with our local healthfood stores. I was too fearful of the acid on my teeth to try it.
- Janet-The Bottley Crue
Pete, can you send me a copy of your chutney recipe please and tell me how you use this vinegar, do you dilute it?
- Halil
We use it to make this http://www.nigella.com/recipes.... I've used it in salad dressings and such, but wouldn't've thought of just drinking it :-/
- Helensleydale
Thanks Helensleydale, I like Nigella, and yeah don't drink it, i just followed bottle guidelines, I definitely don't recommend drinking it, unless of course you do as Mo says and get a full set of metal teeth, see the post below! :-P
- Halil
I've used it in salad dressings.
- Derrick
Derrick, did you use it neat?
- Halil
if you use it in dressings, you may need to add honey or sugar to balance the acidity. it's also great for pickling eggs. i sometimes use it to make shrubs - a syrup of sort with berries, sugar and vinegar that you can use in cocktails. shrub is also tasty over plain yogurt or goat cheese (because the fruit solids become chutney like)
- tiffany
My husband uses a cup of apple cider vinegar when he makes his five hour pot roast. Makes a cheap cut of meat flake with awesome flavor.
- Janet-The Bottley Crue
I used to use this to condition my hair.
- Kelli H.
I use it with olive oil, a smashed garlic clove, some finely chopped herbs, and maybe a dollop of dijon mustard. Whisk until emulsified. Delicious.
- Derrick
I've used it to lower blood pressure, marinate steaks, and combat infection.

Thanks for the replies, I think I'll try the vinaigrette/making sauces and possible the chutney approach, they seem the easiest and sound tasty.

I recently received what looks like a hoax email stating that fruit should only be eaten on an empty stomach if you want to gain its full nutritional value. As I read this I was smirking as I wasn't totally not convinced. But throwing the question out here; what is your experience/view, does it make any difference when you eat fruit?
I read about this from the "food combining" lobby. on the other side, a doc once told me that I should never eat fruit on an empty stomach. well. I eat fruit when I want. never tried to measure the results...
- esther
I'm not sure it makes much difference, except that when ever you eat fruit, you should wait at least 1 hour before brushing your teeth, as the fruit acid will soften your teeth and you'll be brushing away your enamel, apparently.
- Halil
As I was on my way home today, I was looking out the bus window, as you do, and saw this family pick a rose from someone's front garden. So the question is; have you/would you ever pick a flower/plant etc from someone's garden?
Anika, imabonehead, Rodfather and 6 other people liked this
No, or rather not seen a flower yet to tempt me, lol
- Halil
No, not without permission. I might take a photo of it, though. :-)
- John (bird whisperer)
Yeah, same here, photo yes, pick no, without asking 1st, but I usually knock on their door and ask the plants name. My family constantly tease me about this and find it embarrassing when they are with me! :(
- Halil
No, not without express permission. I'll often take photos, but those aren't my plants to take.
- Jennifer Dittrich
I remember talking about this on FF. Anika said they have plant thieves all over her old neighborhood. I would never take anything without permission. It amazes me that folks do this all the time.
- SAM
My yard is well-stocked with dandelions but if people pick those, they should help with the weeding too.
- Morton Fox
No, I would not take it without permission. And I'm usually too chicken to ask permission unless the person is right there. The act of going up to someone's door, knocking, then asking them about a plant is too weird for me. I don't think I'd do it. I had roses at my old house and people stole them often. One of the roses was well into my yard and people would walk straight in to steal it.
- Spidra Webster
Smell yes.. pick no.
- NotdaBOTTurlokin4
I'd take a photo. I might take one flower if it was one of plenty on the plant.

I remember watching some TV history documentary about health and specifically the impact of white bleached bread on health and the poor in the UK. Bleached white bread was a fairly cheap source of food that filled you up, under the guise of being healthy. Unfortunately unbeknownst to the general public and specifically the poor, they were actually becoming very ill due to a lack of iron in their diet, hence suffering from iron deficiency related illnesses. I don’t remember much more than this, not sure exactly when and how this was identified from excessive consumption of bleach white bread.
- Halil
But my point is this; it is always the poor and economically challenged people/families in our communities that are always forced to make economic food choices, rather than healthy food choices. It’s all well and fine to point out the dangers of non-organic foods and the benefits of organic foods, thus leading one to reduce the risk of ingesting pesticide/hormones etc and better animal...

- Halil
We are currently seeing unprecedented levels of antibiotic use in animal farming; add to that the significant use of pesticides/herbicides etc, we really are going backwards in history as the penny counters will have to buy cheap poor quality food, thus putting their and their families in danger, which will ultimately impact on the NHS.
- Halil
Where are the visionaries in out farming industries, where are the people with the foresight to see the potential hole we are digging for ourselves and to address the issues now and not when we all have anti-biotic resistance and suddenly face extinction from some simple bacterial infection we could of treated easily with penicillin. Oh the irony, we always assumed aliens would die from...

- Halil
This is probably why we haven’t been invaded by aliens yet, they came and saw how stupid we are and thought, why invade, they’ll kill themselves off soon enough and we’ll have a lovely empty planet ready for colonisation. :-/

yeah I know long and rambling, but hey, if your bored or suffering from insomnia, read it! :-P
- Halil
Halil, what's your question? :-P
- Eivind
Why is organic food so expensive if it's better for you? Why should the poor eat bad quality cheap food and the wealthy eat healthily? :(
- Halil
I don't think 'organic food' is necessarily better for you. Unfortunately, the cheapest food tend to be the most unhealthy food, though. I said in another thread that I was pro fixing that through differentiated taxation of food stuffs. I know that's not a very popular idea, but I think it's the most effective way to get a population to eat healthier.

How do you actually write the blog entry itself? Do you write the text in one go, in parts? Do you add the links as you go or all in one at the end? Formatting: during or at the end?
Jenny R, Oyunlar1, Chatsohbet and 3 other people liked this
I have about 30 posts in my drafts. I write as I feel. Sometimes, I add links as I go along, other times I post [INSERT LINK/EXCERPT/IMAGE] My browser's blog editor allows me to finesse formatting, which I do at the end. The only time I have do more work is if I'm posting to a WPMU site.
- Anika
I usually write all in one go, then add in links and images afterwards. Basically anything I have to go get from somewhere else goes in at the end. Unless I'm stuck in the writing, and then I'll go do some of that stuff to give my mind a rest, then come back to the writing fresh. Formatting I do as I go because I do everything plaintext and write the html by hand. It's easier just to do it as I go.
- Jandy
I do a lot of research usually so I collect links during the research phase. I have many half finished articles, so if I don't concentrate on an article it won't get done. The writing is iterative. Get stuff down in a stream of consciousness then organize and edit and rephrase. Perfect writing usually means no writing.
- Todd Hoff
It depends, I have one I have 4 pages of notes for, but have never gotten to the draft stage, normally I just write a title(idea), and a little context reminder. I tend to write them out in one or two goes, in a non rich-text format, edit it there, copy and paste into the text field, do some final editing, and then finish off with formatting & linking.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Pure stream of consciousness, but centered around pictures, so very easy to write.
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
I generally have a one-sentence joke as a starting point, pound out a paragraph, and then start laying in images or video that I can use to get beyond the one-joke staring point. The sad thing is how often I fail at that.
- Roger Benningfield
I collect links during the research phase, and I write notes and an outline in a text editor. Over time, the outline turns into diamonds. I mean, into prose. I usually don't add formatting until I'm getting closer to publishing. I have lots of ideas that never get posted, so I don't want to waste time formatting something that's not going to work out.
- Amit Patel
I add the links as I go along.
- Morton Fox
I've really realized lately I need to finish an article while I'm still passionate about the idea. If I just start it and then think I'll get back to it, it's rare that I do that or do as good a job as I know I could have. It's hard to recover that web of ideas that were present when the idea was at its most passionate. Write during the heat of passion.

NZ seems incredibly beautiful and with milder weather than much of Canada. However, NZ is also miles from anyplace nearby. So if you like to travel but don't have a lot of $, you're kinda stuck. Whereas in Canada you can drive down into the US for travel and if you're on the Atlantic coast of Canada, flights to Europe probably aren't anywhere near as expensive as a flight from NZ to anywhere.
