dented or otherwise damaged cans, what do you do?
This article in yesterday's paper caught my eye. Looks like mould to me. But. Forget the sensational headline for a minute and focus on the can. Notice how it's a little blackened around the bottom rim? I'm not sure it shows, but it looks like the can has been standing in wet conditions, the wrapper looks a little wrinkled too at top and bottom. Was it like this when it was bought? If yes, why buy it? If no, then how was it stored in the home environment? Use by date. Usually irrelevant, unless the can has been opened. We all know that once a can is opened the contents need to be used immediately, especially baby foods. She mentions somewhere in the story that the contents appeared "a bit runny". This happens when food is given to the baby directly from the can, (or jar) with saliva from the baby's mouth being transferred to the contents, which then begins to break down the molecular structure of the canned food. This isn't immedia...
Yes, I have wondered. Then I saw a documentary on how slave labor and digging deep into the earth.
ReplyDeleteFortunately, diamonds are not one of my favourites in the gemnological world, so the expense doesn't matter.
ReplyDeleteThey are a little like mushrooms aren't they....grown in the dark.
ReplyDeleteI don't know but I'm with Marilyn, "Diamonds are a girl's best friend." Square cut or pear shaped, these rocks don't lose their shape..... diamonds are a girl's best friend.
ReplyDeleteha ha, this wasn't supposed to go up, I don't know how it happened...I have a draft in the works...
ReplyDeleteSusan Kane; my coming article has nothing to do with slave labour, although I'm sure that still goes on. And shouldn't.
Elephant's Child; I like them, but don't buy them. I have only one tiny diamond gifted to me by my mother for my 40th birthday. I almost need a microscope to see it.
Delores; way down in the deepest dark.
Manzanita; I like the baguette shape best and I don't believe diamonds are a girl's best friend. SUNSCREEN is a girl's best friend. diamonds are second best.
I do like diamonds but of a simple cut...just wish I had more of them.
ReplyDeleteMimsie; I'd like a few more too, but I'll probably never buy any, I just don't wear jewellery apart from my watch and the sleepers in my ears. I do have seasonal things, like all the brooches and earrings I wear at Christmas, but none of it is "real". What I'd really like is the money to be able to afford diamonds.
