I worked in a restaurant that had a pretty fancy wine list. I knew nothing about wines. I asked my co-worker what I should say when someone asked me about a certain wine. He said to just re-read what it said on the menu (each wine was followed by a brief description). E.g.,: Fruity with notes of peach and apple.
So, I should say: "That wine is fruity! It has notes of peach and apple!"

The new PC is working beautifully, I can't believe it takes all of five seconds to see the login screen! Never again. I'm feeling so much more productive already.
Couple of things marred my experience, though. First, that one USB-C port can't be used for charging my mobile phone because the computer shuts down immediately. Apparently it's only for data transfer? So that sucks. Why would anyone design it that way?
Second, I forgot my national digital certificate password, so I can't access the online portal where all my health records are stored, and I can't communicate with my primary physician and dentist. So now I'll have to go back to the old computer and export the certificate with a new password. This is a relatively minor annoyance, though.
Lastly, I won't be torrenting porn anymore, because apparently the constant writing/reading that entails isn't good for my new SSD hard drive. It'll be a healthy change for me, I think, so that's not really a loss.

I don't know if you remember my post about the housefly that got into the house. I thought it had gotten out or Cos had eaten it. Turns out, it was atracted to the Zevo bug catcher and got stuck, as it should have. It scared the shit out of me when I changed the insert! Until now, it's just been gnats and fruit fly-type insects that it's caught. Seeing that huge fly was quite a jolt.
I'm finally having my second bathroom updated. Kohler is installing a new tub and shower wall and I'm getting a handheld and overhead shower head. I have to buy the vanity and toilet but they will install it. I'm so happy. I hate the shower doors and would like a shower rod. Once installed, I shall take a long luxurious bath and rinse off with the handheld spray head. I've lived here 25 years and all other rooms have been painted/updated.

R142, the bathroom will be an off-white color with grey walls to match the grey marble vinyly flooring that's already installed. I would like a higher toilet with elongated seat. I just have to make sure the dimensions are the same as the current toilet. I really wanted to keep the grey tub but a replacement was the better choice (it's not a metal tub). If I had the money, I would have had a clawfoot bathtub installed. I love those and almost bought a house just because of the tub.
Yes, R144. I am extremely lucky. When I had the kitchen redone, and was waiting for the countertop and sink, I was washing dishes in the bathtub. It was no easy feat, considering the damned shower doors.

r127 Interesting, I charge all my stuff (phone, headphones, flashlight...) through the USB port on my computer because it's physically closer to me and handier than the outlet in the wall. I'd charge my electric shaver that way as well if I could. Never considered I was an outlier in that respect.

The 14 oz. squeeze tube of Daisy Sour Cream is just too much for my occasional needs. I need to stick to the small 8 oz. container of sour cream and only get the big tube when I'm having guests. Actually, I wish Daisy or Breakstone or the supermarket brand would offer a 4 oz. container which would suit my needs even better.

Peas are a decent source of fiber.
Men under age 50 should have 31-34 grams of fiber daily.
Men over 50 should have 28 grams of fiber daily.
A half cup of peas has 4.4 grams of fiber.
But if you have IBS or are on a FODMAP diet it's probably best to stay away from peas as they are naturally rich in sorbitol and fructose.

I was at Trader Joe's and bought their Frozen Lemon Bars for the first time.
I was standing there in the aisle reading the back panel, and it says you can defrost them on a plate and serve them as if you've made them yourself.
For some reason that made me laugh, as it sounds like something you'd see in a TV sit com.
I'm going to try that with my boyfriend and see if he thinks I made them.

R182 being out of work and looking is really tough. I was out of work for 9 mo once. I can't remember anything about that time except that I gained weight and worried about money. Days ran into each other. My house was a mess. I stopped showering every day. It was before covid so when covid hit I kinda knew what to expect. Since I have no discipline except about work, it was difficult to make myself do things. But when I did, I felt at least I accomplished something that day. Keep at it. All will be well. You are probably not depressed, but it's good you are self-monitoring and asking the question.
