It helps if the bacon is streaky and golden brown crispy. It helps if the sausages are artisan. It helps if the eggs are perfectly poached. It helps if the black pudding is from Stornoway. BUT.......you'll feel so much better afterwards.🥓🥘 Generally I would agree on the poached egg but I think they did well to get this fried egg to me with still some yellow runny yolk. (I don't do black pudding) The sausages were surprisingly delicious, the bacon just right, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans great. My only complaint was the hash brown a litle soggy from the tomato juice but I still shoved it in my gob double fast 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been sitting here at my desk considering ordering breakfast for delivery because I'm starving, but I never order breakfast and could probably find some oatmeal or something somewhere. Perhaps I should follow your example and just go for it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Macbain Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 On the subject of full English... how on earth did you guys start thinking beans were a breakfast food?! I'm good with everything else (except the mushrooms because mushrooms are the devil's toe jam) but beans? Baked beans? For breakfast? No. Just no. 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajay McDowwll Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) I posted back 3-4 weeks ago about the January from You-Know-Where (mental health issues running amok in the house, cat dying, etc) and I'm glad to report that things appear to be on the upswing. The Child is responding well to his new medication, after a rather rocky start with some side-effects. His psychiatrist thinks it's possible that after he's been stabilized for a year, they could try weaning him off the meds as anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications in younger people can apparently actually help to rewire the brain, potentially making them unnecessary in the future. It's not a definite, but I figure the less things anyone has to remember (and meds are a big one), the easier life can be. All things said, if he has to be medicated the rest of his life, so be it. I'm glad they exist. The cat is still... well, deceased, but our remaining cat has definitely come out of his shell and has started eating regularly again. He was in mourning, bless his heart, but it appears he's adapting. As for me? I'm wiped out today, but it's my own fault because I finally went BoM with my avatar and stayed up ridiculously late last night updating all my outfits when the "replace links" function in Firestorm proved recalcitrant. So I'm tired, but I feel accomplished Beth, I love this thread. I know I don't post much in it, but thank you for starting it ❤️ Edited February 19, 2020 by Ajay McDowwll Spelling. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing a fur baby is absolutely the worst, but after a mourning period, a new kitten can certainly liven things up! It would be awesome if your son was able to be weened off the medications. I've long accepted that I'll be taking them every day for the rest of my life, but I didn't get any treatment for my depression as a child - I was in my mid-30s before I started. I'd love to be able to stop taking them, but realistically, that's not going to happen. And that reminds me I need to run over to the pharmacy and pick mine up! I love my face and am having a difficult time transitioning to BoM because of that. I went so far as to buy a new skin for BOM, wore it for a day, and ended up going back. It also seems much more convoluted than I thought it was going to be when it was first announced. I really wish I could wear my current face and skin and apply BoM on top of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish I could wear my current face and skin and apply BoM on top of it. I wound up buying several new skins. Interestingly enough my original skin from 2009 works perfectly with Maitreya body. No funny toe problem. I wonder if the Maitreya designer was wearing a LAQ skin when she made the body? Too bad the lips on that skin are so dated... and I was such a pale face back then. I'm tanner now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seicher Rae Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) Although I'm 'murican, I've had plenty of full English breakfasts in my day and in regards to the picture: Beans? I never got beans. Weird. And thankfully I just got regular buttered toast not the fried bread, although I've had fried bread. I prefer the toast. I haven't posted here for a while because I'm generally depressed, grumpy and annoyed and who wants to read about that? I recently have had some decent RL news, that helps me get out of a sort of limbo that I've been in for a decade. So today color me slightly less depressed and grumpy. Although I'm am over-people-ing in SL and the extra energy that takes out of me is annoying, so color me the same amount of annoyed I guess.

Sadly we're at the "no additional cats" stage of life at this point, in large part due to my husband's horrible cat allergy. He came into the relationship fully aware of the feline factor, but since we're all at least somewhat allergic to the little darlings, it's time to let the cat part of our lives go. We still have Bob, at least. We do have four dogs in addition to Bob the Cat, including two young chihuahuas. I'm just going to pour my energy into civilizing them, bless their stubborn little hearts 🤣 Re: meds, I'm like you in that I'll likely be on them for the rest of my life due to starting on them later than I really should have (late 40's in my case, rather than my late teens to early 20's). I switched late last year from Lexapro to Wellbutrin, but the anxiety component came flaring back up so we've added Buspar to my routine. That just took place, though, so at the moment I get to deal with even more anxiety, as that's one of the onboarding side-effects of Buspar that I'm experiencing. I just love how some anti-anxiety meds have the temporary side-effect of causing anxiety. Because of course LOL I was having the worst time transitioning to BoM for the same reason you stated above. I loved my face. I'd been using the same skinmaker's skins literally since I first realized the default skin was hideous, and have been buying new from there every time the situation popped up that I maybe should. I even got my Maitreya body applier there, as well as an Omega applier that worked beautifully with my Genus head. When I tried to use my latest system skin from my old supplier, though, it just would not work correctly. The shading in the neck, collarbone, fingers, elbows... well, you get the drift. So if I wanted to go BoM I had to try a new skin... and I finally did. Maybe it was time to branch out, for me. But I do get not wanting to get away from a favorite appearance, and honestly if the folks who made my old skins ever do a BoM update to mitigate the worst of the shading issues, or at least make some of the BoM "fixes" work sufficiently, I'll be right back there 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Macbain Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 I'm now angry all over again about Amie Hartwick's murder after reading this and realizing this guy wasn't a recent ex - her first restraining order against him was nine years ago and he has also now been released on bond. So, you know, a guy who harbored such violent unhinged anger for almost a full decade is out there on the streets running free after murdering a woman a couple days ago. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
