I tell you, that website is right on top of things! It has me in an equestrian program!
And gonzo just gave me my pony a few weeks ago after I got a 4.0 for the semester!
When I type your name it shows “the Andrews School for girls” 
I typed my name and it was blank, like a lot of other people’s apparently…
Next semester, she’ll be working toward an Easy-Bake Oven.
That is one dang useless piece of software. It has me looking like the dean of the school where my husband works—we don’t even have the same last names—and doesn’t mention any of the places I’ve actually worked that come up when I google my name. I guess I wouldn’t be so annoyed if it had said I was a pastry chef though.
My zoom profile only says that I’m an “active member”

Incorrect. You can have ice-cold water..water at 32 degrees, that is not solidified into ice.
Here’s a video of ‘supercooled water’…at -6 degrees F, freezing into ice instantly as it’s poured into a bowl.

But beyond ‘supercooled water’, the temperature of ice water after it reaches equilibrium is about 32 degrees F (0 degrees C) until all of the ice has melted. After the ice water reaches equilibrium, as heat is absorbed, that energy goes into phase-changing the remaining ice into water. This is something I learned in physics in high school.

That would make the water…(drum roll) “ice cold”.
As for lard, I’ll take nano’s approach:
…fat…
Dietary fat is necessary for the absorption of certain vitamins and minerals from fruits and vegetables, according to a study published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
…unhealthy…
see below. Lard is quickly becoming viewed as more healthy than hydrogenated vegetable oils.
…tastes awful…
Many people consider lard to have superior flavor over other shortenings. I know that I prefer refried beans cooked in lard over any other type.
…and comes from dead pigs.
As does ham, bacon, salt pork, pork rinds, sausage, pancetta, prosciutto, pork ribs, bratwurst, chitterlings, Spam, and a wide assortment of other foods. Pigs truly are an amazing food animal. Feel free to check out http://www.theotherwhitemeat.com/
What are its redeeming qualities?
High smoke point, pleasing flavor, extremely effective shortening, and may actually be better for you than hydrogenated vegetable oils high in trans fats.

Azure Chocolat!! Are you selling shares?
My maiden name is an assistant professor of medicine, a civil engineer, a features writer, a researcher and immunologist, a Unity church minister, and the past secretary of the UCLU Jitsu Club.
The kind of freakish thing about it is that none of those occupations are alien to me. All things I might have done in another life. Well…not sure about the minister one.
I like that it says (at the top) that Dale lives in Fipple, USA.
Apparently I am the President of the League of Women Voters.
I had more as well, but the chocolate one was the one that stood out 
. Maidenly, I am also a designer at Design Works, I’m the chief financial officer at Park Street Capital Corporation, I’m a chiropractor, in the Michigan Senate (yikes..not very like me, but whatever), an accountant, the Chief of Staff for Union of Concerned Scientists, a Vaccines and Antiviral Agent (yes, it was under “title” 
), and my favorite, and the one that probably would be the most like me: Unpaid Top Aide .
YAY! We should all live in Fipple, USA!!! 
Apparently I am the President of the League of Women Voters.
Wow, ava…I can’t believe you never told us! Do you run around yelling “Votes for Women!” like the mother in Mary Poppins?
Mine runs for five pages. It seems I am the head of music on several campuses, run several music companies, software companies, am a member of the chiefs of staff, and run the official Beatles fan site (from which I bought a ton of cool rubbish at inflated prices).
Don’t know why I don’t feel more fulfilled.

Hmm, I could do. I’ll need a sash and some chimney-sweeps first.
Cool! I’ll try to have it all arranged for when you’re here
I henceforth announce my move to Fipple, USA, which will be made viewable on my profile. I encourage other C&Fers to move to Fipple with me.
I’m going to invent a recipe that requires supercooled water.
I remember when I was a kid and used to make Jell-O gelatin snacks. It required one cup of boiling water and one cup of ice water, or something like that. I always thought it was weird…
I will as soon as I can find my way out of the limbo that I currently seem to reside in 
I should make a green roadside sign which says in bit white letters:
“WELCOME TO FIPPLE! POPULATION: 1.”
How’s this?
Shouldn’t Tangent and OnTopic be reversed?
djm
one o’ those straight ahead types, eh?
