Susan Sarandon Saturday

[trissie]

Dogged, I'm kinda embarrassed to admit that, but I can't wear synthetics anymore. It used to be OK, but after DS13 was born, I discovered that if wear pure synthetics, I will get an unpleasant sweaty odor. So I keep to either pure natural or at least 50% natural and that works fine for me. But it means I have to skip on a lot of fashion trends - and sometimes whole brands, as they carry very little natural fiber items.
What radio shows are you listening to? I just finished Herman Melville's Moby Dick on my radio app. They have several audiobook series with a new installment coming every day, so I always have something to listen to while doing chores.
L.Ann, what's a Freakier Friday and why is it on your list for Saturday?

Life without whites simplifies laundry, L.Ann.

I expect that the natural fibers are better for your skin and for the environment, trissie. Over the years, I have found myself rehoming any clothes that come out of the dryer wrinkled to people who enjoy ironing more than I do, and the result has been synthetic fabrics.
I have been listening to CBC Radio One (online), which is our national broadcaster. I started with The House, which is about Canadian politics. They looking at how our new Prime Minister's past commitment to the environment will fit in with his necessary focus on our economy. Then it was Day 6, which is a sort of magazine show, current affairs, culture, etc. Then it was my very favourite comedy show: Because News. We are in summer reruns, so the current affairs are out of date, but it's still very funny. It's set up as a quiz show where the host asks comedians about a news item and they have to provide guesses. Then it was Quirks And Quarks, which explains science. One of today's topics was about whether the presence of methane on planets can be taken as an indication of life on that planet. Then it was The Debaters, in which the host proposes a ridiculous subject for debate and two comedians debate the subject. Of course, the laughs are more important than actual points that they make.
Right now, it's White Coat Black Art, which covers issues in Canadian medicine, like our shortage of doctors and nurses.

Hi, Peaches

[trissie]

Dogged, so what was The Debaters topic for today, Dogged?

Today's topics were "Should Newfoundland join the Atlantic Time Zone?" and "Butter Or Margarine: Which Is Better?" It doesn't sound like a set up for a joke, does it? But that's part of fun, the comedians have to find a take that makes it funny.

Win-win, L.Ann. You get a couple of hours to relax, and you get to skip a movie that was maybe not your personal taste.

I've been lounging and just putting the placemats through washing, soaking and rinse cycles.

[Gma]

((l.ann)) 2 hours to yourself! Precious time. Enjoy! It doesn't have to be working
