Well if you don't keep up with controlling the bugs and/or the humidity in your home, your mattress will quickly become a science project of insects and mold.

Broccoli.

My life was ticking along just fine in the UK with a balanced diet including many different vegetables: peas, sprouts, beans (runner, french, and broad), corn, cabbage, carrots, parsnips, sprouts, cauliflower, mushrooms, onions, etc. Did I list "sprouts" already? ..... Anyhow, all that Americans seem to eat is broccoli!

Izal did go out of fashion, a long time ago, in my parents' house.

And no, I didn't have need for an excessive amount of paper.

Yeah. Who saw grease proof paper and thought "Hey, that stuff would make great toilet paper"?

It felt like it was really designed to be used by butchers to wrap meat, or for engineers to transfer designs ...
