Pet peeve?

Right now, it's my fucking bladder!

I had a pee ten minutes ago, then I went downstairs to do a bit of vacuuming and cleaning, and now, ten minutes later, I need to pee, again.

What the chuffin' 'ecks that all about?!

Drinking too much coffee, maybe?

My bladder is good when I'm on the go, until it senses a toilet nearby.

I'm down with that.

I could pee, then go downstairs and turn on the tap to fill my kettle for a nice cuppa, and... bang! I need to pee, again.

What the actual?!

That's not a pet peeve, it's a pet pee.

Or perhaps a "wet peeve"?

The one that gets me is having one moderately-sized drink with my evening meal and then peeing a couple of hours later and again just before I go to bed, and then needing to go again when I get up. Am baffled at how not that much liquid 'fuels' 3 separate pisses, lol.

Semi-skimmed (2%) milk.

What in the name of World Wide Sports is that all about?!

My local supermarché ran out of whole milk, the other day, so I went with 2%.

It's coloured water!

There's no taste, and there's no body.

Awful.

Never again.

I've never had fully skimmed milk as a drink so I don't know how inconceivably terrible it may or may not taste. I have some powered skimmed for camping, because that's all you can buy and a quick bit of milk in coffee doesn't matter much.

 

On the opposite end: Jersey milk, to which I treat myself occasionally.

I'm fine with 2%. But 1% is too watery.

Over corn flakes? Hmm. That stuff deserves just consuming as pure milk. Love that aftertaste.

 

Only problem is that I've been on a bit of a health drive for the last year (watching sugar, fat, etc), and a bottle of Jersey's finest would definitely go out of date before I let myself drink that much gold top. Maybe as a nice treat for my imminent 40th.

2% milk is unfortunate. 1% milk is awful. Non-fat milk is poison. They're all undrinkable on their own. Though sadly, occasionally 2% milk has to be suffered at cafe's that don't know any better.

 

Same with low-fat or non-fat cheese, yogurt, mayo, etc. They're just disgusting, and, despite their name, probably contribute more to making people fat (especialy American people) than jelly donuts.

I've heard comments that low-fat yoghurt (and similar products) are worse because they're not filling you up, so you consume more in the long run, meaning more calories.

 

I'm fine with low fat milk in coffee - I just don't want to drink it as milk.

 

But I just walked 40 miles this weekend (might've overcooked that a bit) so I'm not particularly worrying about my food intake for a few days... maybe I'll buy some Jersey.

That's definitely a thing, but not even the worst of it. Removing fat often strips away beneficial nutrients we actually need.

 

Then there's the artificial sweeteners, thickeners, starches, gums, emulsifiers, etc. that have to be put into those products to make up for the lack of fat to give the product taste & consistency. Our prehistoric bodies just aren't designed to digest that crap.

 

It's poison.

I only ever use milk in tea and coffee, so semi-skimmed does me fine.

My friends here are all potheads, but I've never tried it because it still feels all illegal and icky and stinky even though it's mostly legal.

Marijuana is far less harmful than alcohol as it turns out.

 

Never did much for me, the charms of Amsterdam lie elsewhere for this pilgrim.

 

Actually, I never paid for any drug other than alcohol. Though at one time, mostly at Uni, I tried everything you could snort, drop or swallow at least once. No needles though, and nothing hard. I was always like "that was cool" and content to never do it again. I did acid once and after a serious come down, I had enough of that.

 

Beer, wine and spirits are where it's at for me.
