#licorice

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Never not thinking of the package of “eating licorice” I found in my dad’s stash of sweets after he died.

Implying there were other uses for licorice… other than eating… Boiling licorice? Grouting licorice? Ritual sacrifice licorice? Dream catching licorice? Superconducting licorice?

Today the family gave me a 'Yes Day'. So today we

- Brought big junk to bulky waste pickup
- Rescued a stray dog and returned it to its owner
- Picked up abortion amendment petitions
- Wandered through a geek store
- Poked around Radio Shack
- Ate Indian food
- Watched 2001: A Space Odyssey while eating black licorice
And finished the day off with a black imperial porter.

Good day

It is known that large amounts of #licorice cause high blood pressure. A study by researchers at Linköping University now shows that even small amounts of licorice raise blood pressure. The individuals who react most strongly also show signs of strain on the #heart.

I received some #GoodNews today! Even though we're pretty good at a lot of things in #Denmark, handling #immigration in a respectful and timely manner isn't always one of them. Today though, my wife of 16 years was finally informed that she will be included in the next citizenship proposal presented to the parliament in October. If the proposal passes - which is always does - she will be granted permanent Danish citizenship! 🇩🇰

Obviously I suggested that we'd do something extraordinarily Danish to celebrate, but I'm still looking for input. So far I'm stuck at #smørrebrød, being unhappy about the weather - rain or shine - or something revolving around #licorice, although I expect her lack of fondness for this delightful sweet will remain unchanged by her new citizenship.
