There are other foods with more potassium. Bananas are useful but not essential.

I once tossed a banana peel in a trash bin that I then stopped using and forgot about. I ended up with a fruit fly infestation that didn't want to die. So, I blame bananas and don't buy them anymore.

That sounds like a pretty niche service.

We have a kiddy pool and the ducks clean themselves.

There's an occasional tiny crinkling noise coming approximately from a box about four feet from me. Sounds like a rodent chewing on plastic, or a package unwrapping itself. I've dug through that box and cannot find the source of the noise.

^^

I mean my air ducts from the furnace for heating and air conditioning.

I get spam phone calls all the time from call centers overseas asking if I want my ducts cleaned but it always sound like ducks. I usually hang up on them but have never had it done.

I finally asked my furnace company about it last year and it was about $800 plus they use a scented product to make the people believe they did a good cleaning. I said I can’t handle scent and would need unscented. They said even their unscented is scented with a light, artificial smell of lemon. Uhhh, noooooo. I’d be super sick from that and it’s not good for cats.

I still need them cleaned though, so I’m not sure what to do.

Incidentally there are ducks outside my window. They live in my neighbour’s swimming pool. :lol:

Oh I have an absolute aversion to them. If I see or hear anyone eating one I'm completely repulsed and the smell of them is just vile...imo there is nothing good about bananas

I'm sure I've said all this on here before but as you can see I am quite passionate about it

You can give me your bananas as much as I would like to bug Isabella and give me her unwanted chocolate stash... :lol:

Have finished the sausage roll. Will have chips and a few chip butties for tea later.

Is it because of all the bananas outside?

And don't worry because it's been noted that my loathing for such fruit has become an apparent source of entertainment for some people round here

I don't really need to name and shame these people either...they know who they are

Bananas happened to be one of the very few fruits I can and will eat regularly than just tolerate. :o As long as it's not overripe.



Did most of my tasks. Finally did laundry and got those bill account numbers.
Somehow satisfied until I fell asleep.

My sleep schedule is so disrupted that I fell asleep at noon and woke up almost midnight.
Sigh...
