Haha, and you got here on a search for “pronounce sodium benzoate”. Yeah, I’m pretty sure you’re an expert on the subject of that particular chemical and its effects on the body. Yes indeedy.

Nice copypasta, asshat. Fuck off, though. I know you didn’t write that second part, because your spelling of “occurs” in the first part was completely ass-backwards (not to mention, you need to brush up on the differences between your and you’re). Get your retarded ass off of my website. P.S. Ass, ass. Ass. Oh, and I think I’ll say ass again. You ass. Okay, I’m bored. Really, now… Did that entry seem like it was serious to you?

Sodium benzoate naturally accurse in foods such as cranberries apples “organic grown”
They are actually at a higher rate in these foods than what the
FDA allows in processed foods. Do we really
know what your eating ? I don’t think so.

Limits of sodium benzoate in foods is not because of toxicity, but
it will impart a taste that will make some foods unacceptable. This is a
very non-toxic compound and foods containing presevatives are usually much
healthier since harmful microorganism growth is inhibited, oxidation is
checked, and nutrients, natural or added, are saved. Degradation pathways for
benzoic acid (produced in the body from the sodium salt) have been studied
in detail and have shown the harmlessness of this substance: 75-80% is
excreted within 6 hours, and the total dose leaves the body within about 10
hours. It does not cause cancer.

Believe me sister. I know all about not having school funding here in the good ol’ USofA… and I don’t want to go into why I know this either.

It’s hard to tell, I just switched stats tools. Hell with SiteMeter. I’d have to check my raw logs.

That program up there is great for annoying teachers. In Canada. On brand new shiny computers. See, school funding doesn’t work the same way up there. We actually HAVE school funding…

P.S. Was there more hits than usual on your site today?

10 BEEP
20 GOTO 10
I don’t know what that means.

Beings as you were/are from Canada and they see Monday Night Football on Wednesday night, the C64 was more than likely the standard computer in your high school until 2005. HaHaHa!

Candice — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 21:29:06 +0000

The C64 wasn’t mine, per se, but I did learn how to program me some Basic on that thing.

That’s understandable and I applaud your brilliance.
I got my first computer in 1999. As long as it works when I push the “ON” button, I’m happy. I just found out about cutting and pasting in July of 2006. I learned about the basic HTML last month. I’m not a slow learner per se… I guess I just don’t want to, or maybe I don’t care to, learn the ins and outs of the computer. That may be the wrong way to think about the computer because it is the wave of the future. Haha! Like I said, as long as it turns on and does what I want it to do, I’m happy.

I think you’re pulling my leg about owning a Commodore 64. You had to have been 12 yrs old when you got one. According to Wikipedia, they were discontinued in April 1994. I would post that Wikipedia Commodore 64 link here but I’m not sure this comment would show up after I hit Submit Query button.

It’s hard to fix that stuff without knowing the whozits and whatzits, though. I’ve learned slowly. Every time something breaks and I have to fix it, I learn something new. And since I’ve been on these internets since forever ago (Commodore 64 with a green screen and a 1200 baud modem), I’ve had a lot of shit break by now.

By: Osbourne Black

Osbourne Black — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 10:02:08 +0000

Once again, most of that stuff you wrote in your last comment went right over my head. I don’t care about all the ‘whozits’ and ‘whatzits’ about a website. All I care about is when I type something and/or link something, I want that something to post itself when I hit the submit button. I hate it when I click the submit button and my post doesn’t appear.
I don’t think that is too much to ask.

I’m gonna go back to sleep for a couple of hours, or something.

Haha. S’okay… I’m a ginormous nerd. I’m talking about BOTH sidebars. And del.icio.us is wondertastic for finding links, but I decided I didn’t want my del.icio.us links aggregated into blog posts, so I stuck ‘em in the sidebar there.

Stumbleupon and Digg are fun, too, I guess. But I’m too lazy to integrate Stumbleupon, and the whole Digg submission operation is just FAR too much work for me. Having 17 “sumbit this to _____” links is tacky, too. And what the fuck. I don’t WANT anyone submitting my individual posts to ANY of those. Yeah I’m totally off topic now. But I hate using any of the sites I just mentioned and getting linked to a single blog post, image, or thread on a messageboard. Say no to deep links!

Annnnnnnnnd, back about 17 comments… My posts are just posts. I guess some of the comments turn into threads, which is annoying. Really, what I’d rather have would be a message board that automagically made a proper thread for every post.

My website didn’t have comments at all until at least… uh, who knows when. Actually, probably the first archive I’ve got up on the sidebar, because I’ve been using Blogger since then. Most of the comments are probably lost, though. Before that, though, I added all the code for new entries by hand, and there certainly wasn’t any of this fancy “open thread” stuff people are doing now.

Okay, I have no clue what I was meant to be talking about anymore.

I’m gonna go watch South Park and some BS on VH1 now, or something.

If it makes it easier for you, then keep it as is. I’m a bit computer illiterate when it comes to all the terminology. There are two sidebars (I guess), so I don’t know which one you are talking about.
I don’t understand what this is: “del.icio.us” (I found it on your top left “sidebar”)

As long as when I click “Submit Query” and my comment posts with NO problem what so ever, I’ll be happy.

Just about everything that’s in the sidebar right now is a Widget, that’s what. I was getting sick of having to edit code every time I wanted to change the sidebar around.

By: Osbourne Black

Osbourne Black — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 02:42:48 +0000

I’m not really sure what Widgets are. If this layout does work, I say keep it and forget all the other crap.

It’s up to you.

By: Candice

Candice — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 02:13:45 +0000

Yeah, turned out everything worked, but adding Widgets broke the whole thing. Since adding Widgets was the entire point of changing the layout, that’s a big problem.

I had to change the entire comments file for this layout. Not being able to post comments on my own site is a bit of an issue. If this comment posts, I’m keeping this layout, I guess (probably not). I haven’t found anything else seriouly wrong with it YET.

I just tried posting this (below) on your “This Will Have To Do” post (thread) and my whole screen went white. I closed out your site and when I came back, that post (thread) was gone. What is going on?

“If you like this template, we (your viewing public) are obliged to go along with you.”

“I don’t get what this (Of no interest to anyone) is supposed to do?”

And I agree. Boo!

WHY GOD, WHY!?

Okay, I’ll sit back and let you do your thing.

Pssst… This lime green template is too bright.

Oh, ignore the site design right now.

I’m flipping through templates, trying to find one that I don’t hate, and doesn’t screw things up.

Making my own would probably be easier. Bah.

By: Osbourne Black

Osbourne Black — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 01:05:46 +0000

One thing I noticed that’s different about the new layout is, if you skip a space to start a new paragraph it automatically closes the gap. I personally don’t like that part of blog when it does that. I’ll have to take the good with the bad I guess.

By: Osbourne Black

Osbourne Black — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 01:00:28 +0000

I see you’ve changed the look of Negativesmart. It looks PDN (pretty damn nice.) Can we post links and such now and not have to wait for the spam moderator to check if it’s legitimate?

What is a thread then. I was under the impression that a thread was what you (the blog owner) writes and a post was the comment that we (the blog reader) writes. Maybe I was mislead.

I thought they mostly posted the explanation for sodium benzoate in the process of trying to provide a mostly natural ingredient list. That’s what I recall seeing more of label wise. Dunno :-\
