Hotel Comcast

a: Comcast ~
b: Hotel California

What: "Today, I find out, Comcast is STILL BILLING ME!!! Turns out that when I ported my phone number over to Verizon, that causes havoc in the system for some reason. Anyway, apparently Comcast is like the Hotel California - you can check out any time you like, but you can NEVER leave."

Down It Goes....

a: Cleansing your body from caffeine ~
b: radioactive decay

What: "Cleansing your body from caffeine is like radioactive decay with a half-life period of much less than one day. No matter how much there is in the first place, after a week there is almost nothing left. Just give vour cells and your brain some time (1-2 weeks max) to catch up with the different situation (in terms of missing artificial stimulation), and you will be just fine"

Too Much Sugar

a: yeasts ~
b: obese buffet diners

What:

"The second thing I think I did wrong was pushing the yeast. I didn't know what I was doing, and added way too much sugar to the wine. I wanted a sweet wine, so I thought there was a way to stop the fermentation around 11%, and leave the undigested sugar in there as a sweetener. But that's really not how this whole thing works. The yeasts are like obese buffet diners. They just keep eating and eating everything that's there until they are miserable."
