No, just eat the food and don't feel guilty about it. Food glorious food.
jennyh Dec 2019 11:12am, 11 Dec 2019 4,089 posts	Quote Pin jennyh Agree 100% Rae - there’s 4 or 5 women in my office with this mindset. None of them are even remotely overweight, yet not only do they have this attitude to exercise, certain foods are deemed to be “bad” or even “evil”. Exercise is only done to lose weight or “work off” food. They seem to get no enjoyment from either what food they do “allow” themselves to eat, or from the exercise they “must” do. I know it’s a very pervasive mindset, but it is sad.

THREE times there have been plenty of little cards on display to take to the cash desk to exchange for a cartridge, and THREE times they have only had a single cartidge in stock. I am beginning to think this is dishonesty rather than incompetence.

This appallingly excessive plastic packaging for two electrical contacts which are about 15mm long. I needed twenty for this particular project and there are two contacts in each bag!
