Co-incidently, we also tried this fig but in dry fruit form. I went for it after watching a youtube video which said that fig is awesome body cleaner. It starts cleaning process from teeth, gums, tongue, and then throat, then stomach, then intenstines till the last destination.. In a nutshell, it cleans whatever it touches. And all the magic is in it's seeds.

The procedure of eating is that you have to boil the water and then place three figs into it before sleeping. Next morning, take the figs out of the water and eat. After 30 minutes, you can go for breakfast. 

If you have stomach problem or just want to get healthy skin and hair, this one recipe is great..

Terrible stuff going on there! Hope your students are staying safe.

All I can say is hallelujah!! Though I am still getting opening ads on Meituan, which however are quickly closable. On my weather app I still have sit and wait for the adds to close on their own, and thereafter get these tiny annoying things that flutter around and annoy me, and trying to hit the close button is a hit and miss affair. And If in fact am able to close them, they re-appear after a few seconds. On my translation app there is a screen, and even if I have clearly hit the close button, it immediately takes me to some online betting website or something like that, so I just have to wait 5 seconds for it to close. Really, really annoying.

This is an off-topic query, but I suppose the best place to post it. Back in the day, when everyone was frantic about the dreaded C-19 , TBJ had a link to a website that had all the current stats in China, which was updated regularly. I had site bookmarked, alas, I've recently had computer meltdown in which the motherboard was fried. (Had something to do with spilt wine) Point is, I was able to salvage the hard drive and put in a new older computer (parse that if you will) Nonetheless, all of my (hundred or so) bookmarks are gone. Point is, again, is could someone kindly give me the link again. I know it was something like 丁香医生冠状病毒。。什么什么什么 . I checked out the Doctor Lilac website but could not find what I was lookin for. Surely someone at tthe beijingr has the link. It used to be pasted prominently on the front page. I checked a bit through the `coronavirus' tab at the top of page. No luck. So just gimme the link , someone or other.

Here is the link if anyone is interested: h t t p s : / / n c o v . d x y . c n / n c o v h 5 / v i e w / p n e u m o n i a

(remove all spaces.... When I paste the link into the automatic submission filter that TBJ uses it changes it, and the link won't work, hence written as above. Had to use the wayback machine to find an old copy of TBJ to find it. )

Well, yeah, personally I'll celebrate public facilities and shared space over the old-growth forest and mountains any day. Like Huysman's Des Esseintes tells us, boring old bawd nature has had her day. Time for artificiality to have a turn.

But, really, the writer here is to be complimented on looking at the bright side. I mean, when served a s*** sandwich you can gripe about the taste, OR you can be happy that this way you won't gain weight. Right?

There's only 800 godzillion acres of empty land in Canada, and in pretty much everywhere. A poor soul can live anywhere of them if they have the wits to live there, which ain't really that hard. But oh no. Ya all gotta live in boxes, in cities, so's we can count the cattle, give em their food, have em take ther medcine, give us their milk. moo.

The Beast called "Development" eats slow, but he eats all. Because it's all for sale. Sodoms-Afflinge bustin' butt to make money for the very few. The few who have it all anyway.

`slow' is an adjective, `eats' is a verb. This is like milk and meat, for those of Hasidic persuasion.

As yes, Dr. Bauluo, yes. The "missing link" again, correct? I am fortwith undertaking an expedition to the storied Ozark Range where a humble methcooker has stumbled onto some fascinating bone shards. It could be the link itself. If so, it will be the basis for my monumental magnum opus, "Out of Arkansas: Rethinking Man's Origins"

Shards you say? Why do bones have shards? Rocks have chunks, pieces, segments etc. Only bones have shards. Though I suppose that also there are shards of stone, as in our predecessers manipulation of stone into utensils. I think `shards' mean long pointy things that have been separated from an original bigger thing, and in there separation have become relatively long and pointy. I sure that there is a Monty Python skit in here somewhere.

One could even construct a "house of shards," could he not?

One could so do, I suppose tho, that it may provide relatively less comfort than a comtemporary shardless abode. Of course in the past fundamental things, like staying the fonk alive may have held precedence over things like leisure and pleasure. In which case I suppose a shard built house, as, Eskimos may build from the carcass of a whale, for instance, would be a sufficient way to survive for another year. (I don't think I am allowed to say `Eskimo' anymore) Very sorry, profound apologies.

Buy 'em an Eskimo Pie and call it even. But yeah, you're not allowed to say it. The Eskimo are REALLY woke. Especially now, what with the midnight sun and all.

I've never been quite far north enough to get the full midnight sun, however in Fort Nelson BC around summer solstice it doesn't quite get dark . Around 12 midnight the light fades but doesn't disappear. By 3 am the dawn is a breaking. My brother, whom worked inTuktoyuktuk told me of watching gangs of kids kicking football ( i mean `soccer ball') around at 2 in the morning. So I imagine it's no wonder them Eskimos is so woke.

I heard a funny joke though when I worked an a salmon troller out of Prince Rupert. Greenhorn Newfie goes down to wharf to git a job on boat. Asks what the hours are. Told, only sun up to sun down. Ok, he says, when is sun up and, and when is sundown? Sun up is May, sundown is September.

Pretty bright for a Newfie to ask the question before signing on.

Yeah, well us Newfs ain't so dumb as some folk usta think we is.

(I am sorry I don't think I am allowed to say `newf' `newfie' or even `Newfoundlander' tho' it is probably okay, as we are generally white Canadians of anglo/saxon and /or celtic heritage,.. disparage away.)

If ,when fonking, where what is worn is from where you were, should you ask of where came the worn wear? Were you wearing this worn wear when last here you were?

Do Not become angry! I have seen these worn panties yesternight! No,no, no my friend. Acquiese gently. Wear those worn panties proudly upon your skull, skip blissfully along the boulevard, and kiss her pantiless ass evermore.

Auntie Moira, any insight?

Didn't you hear? A couple of years back a mob of gate-crashing undocumented migrants were chanting "France belongs to everyone!" Besides, if a guy can identify as a woman, can't either of them identify as French?

Lately, I have been identifyining as a transmogrified toadstool. I fonking feel really disposseded , dissrespected and nullified, yes NULLIFIED.
