Oh, you must try! It's light, and delicious, when directly from the coconut. And the bottled variety, as shown in my pic, is the same, it's just fresh coconut water that's been bottled, and kept refrigerated. I'm not a fan of it unless it's fresh. Some are reconstituted, taste odd :huh: , and are too sweet!
I have tried the coconut water from bottles bought from supermarket and coconut shell when I travelled to sea side places they were selling them to tourists. I just haven't tried any shell ones from our supermarket. I do like coconut water but the packaging itself, e.g. the thick shell seems to be such a waste itself in terms of transportation cost etc. Oh well I am sure it taste better in its original format.

That's probably why many kids hate peas, because they only get those horrible mushy canned peas in school. Fresh peas are so good.

When my grandparents and their dog visited the Bahamas every year, the kids would climb the coconut palms and throw coconuts down to the dog. They thought it was uproariously funny when he chewed the end off of the coconut and drank the water. So I guess dogs like it too. :smile: I give mine coconut oil every day with breakfast. They are all super shiny! :dog:

Yes, those canned peas were awful! :oh: We only had them at school, so we called those imposters, "school peas"! I can't believe they tried to foist those on us, no one liked them or ate them! Thankfully we had fresh or frozen at home, which I love.

Regarding your grandparents, and their dog, that's so cute and fun, dogs are so smart! :smile: And lucky dogs, yours are, having coconut oil every day!

When I received it in December, I went to find Robert immediately and it took me a few minutes to find him. It was so much fun! I will go and pick up one of this in the lilac CWs tomorrow.

I just received my card this week! Their US mailings seem to go out so late. It's always very well into a season when I receive Le Monde or booklets, and sometimes they just never appear! Fun regarding your scarf, that's a beautiful colorway!

I don't get Le Monde or booklets sometimes also. My SA said something about the cards were sent to UK head office first, then they send them out. That might explain the delay. My overseas SA just sends me e-greetings. But it's not the same...
 
We had some really nasty gales the night before and yesterday this was in the headline news:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-42730984
The wind was so loud that night and it kept me awake most of the 2nd half of the night! There were a lot of damages to trees, properties, cars etc but this one takes the cake.

That's sad. Poor guy! It sounds like he got back to the sanctuary safe and sound though. I'm glad you survived the wind safe and sound too! Every once in a while when we have winds like that I hear trees fall and they make the most horrendous cracks and crashes. :shocked:

Lol! School peas. How funny!

I know right? The poor fella! I am just so relieved that they didn't need to do anything "drastic" to him in the name of "public safety"!

This is very scary! I hate when this happens because my imagination really runs with it and I have visions of all these downed trees! A few years ago, two homes in my neighborhood had very tall palm trees fall across the roof and in one, it broke the main beam and them had to move out and reconstruct the middle of the house!

High winds like that are so disturbing, certainly hard to sleep through!

Poor baby, yes, so glad he was found without incident, and is now safe!

It was very scary! The noise was so loud it reminded me of "the war of the worlds" movie! It was lucky that it happened at night, at least people didn't need to be outside as much.

prepster, how do you take coconut oil as part of your breakfast? It is very beneficial? Here it's only sold as a hair product.

I thought this holiday card from Hermes was fun. I had to use a magnifying lens to find Robert Chavez in the crowd, as instructed! :biggrin:

Picked up the lilac CW of this scarf and it's a beauty! Love it so much! My SM said different cards have different figures to find. Yours is the same as the one I got. But there are other figures she has seen.

Yes, it does seem wasteful, doesn't it! We routinely get the bottled instead, as it's fresh, and tastes just as good, but then it's in plastic...so always something I guess!
