thanks easty!

Yah from the bubonic plague I think I don't think it was from the black death if memory serves me correctly.

Yuppers I did have it. trade your way :D

Yep. Creepy song for creepy pasta.

I love that we all help each other out with items :)

i don't remember which plague. i know it was posys in your pocket to get rid of the smell of death though.

and if you sneeze people say bless you cause when people sneezed during some plague they were about to die so you blessed them so they'd go to heaven.

Drat. Used a bit too much water in the couscous.

thanks shadami... i realized after i got it from you that it was the comfy corner i needed... i thought it was in the elegant ci...


does anyone have the comfy corner ci? lol.

i traded it back by the way. lol im so dumb...

The posy also refers to the smelling of sweet flowers and herbs and spices thought to protect you from plague.
The 'a tissue' is people catching the plague.
And we all fall down is we all fall down dead lol.

People say bless you when you sneeze as it was thought to be your soul trying to escape or being vulnerable (depending on the culture) so blessing someone is either to keep the soul in or keep a demon out :)

I've never actually tried to make couscous.
How hard is it to make?

I know they were originally purple and it was thought orange was more palatable for the gentry as purple often symbolised arsenic and poison.

I also know that the bananas we have today all come from one mutated crop.

Finally I also know that I think in 2014, could be 15 that a court case in the us was passed that tomatos are infact a vegetable and not a fruit.

I also know that strawberries are not berries and neither are raspberries.

And finally the potato is related to deadly nightshade.

Don't think it fixed. Taking forever to refresh now

I do panic buying on the last day. I like to see how much I can accumulate.

it was like the king of spain or something, he wanted it to be orange to better represent their country. and so they bred them to get them orange.

Usually I just buy the EI's when they come out & save the rest of the shopping until the last day.
I like the hair from the commons.

P.s. I also know you burn more calorie eating celery than what is contained with in a stick of celery :)
