What did you learn today?
.
As for me;
I was curious about why white chocolate is white, so I wiki'd it, found that it was the lack of theobromine (found in cocoa, which white chocolate has none of, except cocoa butter), which I turned and read up on, and found this:
The amount of theobromine found in chocolate is small enough that it can be safely consumed by humans, but animals that metabolize theobromine more slowly, such as dogs, can succumb to theobromine poisoning from as little as 50 grams of chocolate for a smaller dog and 400 grams for an average-sized dog. The same risk is reported for cats as well, although cats are less likely to ingest sweet food, having no sweet taste receptors.
So I learned why chocolate is bad for animals, and that cats have no sweet taste receptors! Pssht, yeah right they don't, why else would mine be constantly licking me? ;)
I'll volunteer to be an Other if it will get me down there.
i also learned that PK likes to tease ;)
real thing i learned today:
i bought a crappy camera and it is broken right now. i TRIED to learn how to fix said camera, but unfortunately the "whacking" that was advised online did not work for me. :'(
i also learned that PK likes to tease ;)
Aww, I don't mean to tease (really, I don't). It's just this is my life right now and I'm excited to share it with my friends here. I'll refrain from saying things like I woke up to the sounds of exotic birds then had a shower in the waterfall outside of the cabina.
I learned that I don't think pk should refrain from sharing all of his experiences. I for one am living vicariously though him! :-D Share, share, share...I can't wait to see more pictures.

gah! sooo jealous.
What I learned today is that I can't really be envious of pk. I could move to a tree house, too. I learned that I want to value conventional things less so that someday I can shower in a waterfall. (What do you use for soap, pk? You don't use real soap in a natural waterbody do you?)
I learned that there are approximately 194 Starbucks in the borough of Manhattan. ::)

hehe, there are showers and soaps here, I just prefer the waterfall (no soap!). I have also "dipped" into the cool river a total of 3 times so far today. And if you want to live in a tree house, please act fast - it's selling out fast (hardly any lots left) and I would love to have you here! :) Check out http://fincabellavista.net - that's where I am.
I learned that I am totally jealous of PilotKevin...unlike Double h.
I learned that the name of pk's treehouse community reminds me of Jerry Seinfeld's parents retirement community "del boca vista" ;D but obviously waaaay cooler ;)b
OK, action packed day, but my favorite thing I learned...
I was hiking back from the local village, which is a few miles down the mountain, when I see the two smallest, cutest, most purr-y-est kittens evar! Last night, a big white kitty came from the jungle and played with me, and I wondered where it came from. There is one remaining indigenous family close to the base (they live in a basic shelter without electricity / running water, etc), and that's where I saw the kitties... and they looked just like their mom from last night. So now I know where they live!! I love neighborhood kitties!! And they love me!! :)>>>

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)b Did you see that outtake where Jerry Stiller was trying to say "del boca vista," and COULD NOT get it right?! Funny, funny.
I learned the pk has retained his title as Human Beloved by Animals.
You guys! There is the coolest creature hanging out on my porch! Well, he's gone now.
He was some type of lizard. He would sometimes puff out his chest, and it was this magnificent orange color!
I backed off cuz I didn't know if it was a warning or what, but I just asked the caretaker and he said he was showing off for the ladays!
Here's a before and after pic I managed to snap before he went away.
I learned that NOW I'm envious of pk.
I think we all are!
Today I learned that there is a type of non-invasive "body therapy" called ortho-bionomy that could help me avoid back surgery.
Unfortunately, I also learned that the closest ortho-bionomy practitioner is 3 hours away from me. :(
Dude, you should name your lizard! I will name him for you. His name is Henri. That's not Henry, but Henri. Henri the lizard lady's man.
Maybe he doesn't want to be named!
