Just listened to your song, thank you. I agree with Liza, it's really nice, and gave me a good excuse to turn off the election return news!
Like your science experiment too. I like sunflower seeds but rarely eat them.

cashews have got to be one of the most unusually growing nuts... which are technically seeds.
Liza and Rob and Cate - I'm glad you liked the song - I like it very much indeed, and only dithered between two really good versions. (I bet your singing group's version is good, too, liza! 
)
And I'm laughing in pleasure at the sciencey comments! Yes, science is for the good of humanity, right? So science during getting-ready-for-work-time is totally justifiable! And I guess someone should turn to and investigate pistachios again, since the lab results from LaMa's noble investigation are lost... sounds a very worthy undertaking...mmm! I might volunteer to attempt to replicate. And then there's walnuts, if I can get them from the grower again...
But no, not cashews, which do grow in a most wonderful and weird way, agreed. (I think peanuts aren't technically nuts, either, Flyer. Legumes?)
So - about the cashews... no shells vs shelled experiment necessary, so what possible justification can I dream up foreating scientificallly investigating them?
(joke, of course! I do eat cashews, even with no scientific justification at all, though not heaps at a time, because... well, we all know why! )

Looking forward to all your fun science experiments. Are you going to calculate in calories burned trying to get various nuts open too? Some can really be a lot tougher than others...
on a side note, I love watching crows and other birds use their various methods for getting their nuts open.

We definitely should! Unless you´re like my dad and you use a book press to open about a hundred at a time (to feed birds too small to do so themselves, I will add).
Oh, my friends! Public Service Announcement: if in doubt, throw it out!
I am definitely old enough (and to spare!) to know this rule, but I went ahead anyway, and ate the dodgy food, and have spent the last 48 hours (or so) feeling grooly. (That's grooly, not groovy.
)
I know how fast this site moves - so I know I'll be well behind, but I'll be slowly catching up with all the news, bit by bit - cheers!

Thanks, everyone!
It's a lesson, I've told myself before, about being worth it to have not-off food, so it's galling to have been caught again, liza. I'm like you, Emily - I've taken such chances before, but will try hard to remember not to again. No, not doggy food, LaMa! - "dodgy", meaning of dubious quality or reputation. (woof!) Thanks, Tru, yes, just about there now - a good night's sleep will see me fit again, I trust.

Thanks, @Emilyrose y - it was an early morning (no good reason - just woke up) but otherwise slept well.
Thanks, @Petal001 - yes, I think I've learned that lesson now - I was just being a stubborn idiot, I think!
And greetings to you, as two International Women, on this International Women's Day! and indeed to all the international friends here! I love that we cover so much of the globe, and are all working together for our good health!
Cheers and solidarity and waving to you all!
