I was eating a bag of baked/salted broad beans yesterday afternoon and I started to question, What is a Broad bean? Is it a lima bean? Hmmm so I visited that wonderful source, the internet and Wikipedia and discovered that there are many many names for Broad Beans “Broad Bean, Fava Bean, Faba Bean, Field Bean, Bell Bean or Tic Bean ” Wikipedia and they are indigeonous to Africa but grow everywhere.
I also discovered after I had polished off half a bag of these broad beans that they are a natural alternative to Viagra “Some also use fava beans as a natural alternative to drugs like Viagra, citing a link between L-dopa production and the human libido” Wikipedia………….. that is when I put the broad beans away for another day. I sat for a few minutes to determine if I felt friskier then normal but alas nothing. It is humorous to think about though. Eat your broad beans and come back to life! Tee hee
On other sillyness I accidently covered my hands in a version of crazy glue. It was another brand name which I can not remember right now. Anyways I left the house right on time got my son to his destination on time and thought to myself, Safeway is open lets buy some glue inwhich to fix my boots. I purchased the glue, sat in my van with my foot on my lap and proceeded to open the glue container, glue the flappy thing on my boot and put the cap back on the container of glue only to realize my hands were sticky!? I grab my liquid hand sanitizer and rubbed it all over my hands in a feeble attempt to remove the glue. I read the label and discovered I needed to call the poison centre. I raced home, jumped out of my van, ran to the house, flung my coat of and ran a sink full of hot soapy water while I hunted for my phone book. (I have 5 phone books right now….what’s up with that??).
My telephone call to the poison centre began with, “Hi my name is Ilona and I’m (insert age) and basically I’m an adult but I just put crazy glue all over my hands… by accident. I was fixing my boots and well now things aren’t working out so well.” The fellow on the other end was very patient and didn’t sound like he was laughing at all. He told me to wash my hands in hot soapy water and then to coat them in vasoline. Yup vasoline. Well it worked and I am happy to report I am now crazy glue free….yeah!
Then I came to work sat down and got my period. All in one day. This is the life I lead….it’s rather odd sometimes and very very very busy.
