    Its ok :). I think its funny, any offence is on behalf of nice ladies, not the women like me. :D. We don't mind. ;)

    By most definitions, I am clearly not a reserved sort of person. I'll discuss all sorts of stuff from my personal life that normal people would clam up about. I've even discussed underwear on the NPT before - I was the one who asked for suggestions of where to find underwired bras whose underwire doesn't squeak when the wearer moves. I wasn't feeling in the mood to discuss my knicker choices this week, though. What exactly I feel like disclosing and what I prefer to keep private isn't a particularly rational distinction.

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    And am very impressed by PN's progress on the phone!!!
    Iz u calin mi fick?

    I keep staring at it now I've got it .... not sure what to do with it.... what joys to discover next.

    I've looked at the RM app and Zoopla app ..... then kind of run out of things to do :)

    Can't take more photos as there's nothing to photograph ...... still need to sort out getting images online/available for sharing in a way that I am happy with.

    Also installed Google Keep and the flashlight that was recommended... some of the other apps though I've no idea what they're for so didn't install those.

    I've installed Evernote - but really need to create a new account, that's just for my phone.

    I don't dislike potatoes, I just don't eat them very often. I like both floury and waxy potatoes, in the right place....but not every day!

    This team are also really opposed to my fasting (which I have also found really helps me, the eat nothing days are the least pain days on things nothing to do with anything to do with eating.).

    Oh, and I have a rosacea flare again today. .

    I too have a story (well, not exactly mine) about the beneficial effects of not eating anything. LNE used to have some kind of itchy flaky skin that was related to some food intolerances. He had chickenpox as an adult and was too ill to eat for a couple of weeks. His skin all peeled off and grew back beautfully soft and flake-free, and itch-free too once the chickenpox itching stopped. Then of course he became well enough to eat again, and the skin went back to how it was before.

    I think perfect rationality would be actually pretty terrifying thing in people.

    We are a compilation of our failures in rationality, our hypocrisies and our contradictions. That's the only reason I'm still interested in people really. :)

    Day 1 with a smartphone - you realise it is going to take you a while and a lot of aggrevating time to work out properly how you use the damn thing.

    Day 1 with a smartphone (viva style) - you take a lot of close up photos of your left ear while trying to make phone calls.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    I only use the apps I can get on mac, so don't know what is universal or not.

    Ones I use include my fitness pal....

    That's good on, because you can see where your diet needs supplementing (if you are normal) and you get lots of lovely pie charts!

    I also like meditation or self hypnosis apps when I am going to sleep. You need to kiss a few frogs amongst the free ones I have found, but there are lots of free ones in the apple store.

    Um, that's it ATM.

    I'm looking for a really good budgeting one ATM :o

    Just noticed that we've nearly worn out this thread as well.
