Takes from 8 to 20 hours for them to emerge. It would have to be an old
burger.

That is not something that I've ever said. I said/say..."To each their own."

I don't see a big difference either, but I believe we should quote our

Then you haven't looked at the correct toned bulbs - you can get from
harsh white all the way to soft pink. I know in Home Depot they have
sample lights so you can see which one is best for your use. I have
all LED (replaced years ago now and guaranteed to go strong for many
years yet, more than I need anyway) and Halogen in the bathroom, just
to ring the changes.

I agree. For me, it's because the spectrum is so narrow. I still have
quite a few incandescents because the light is much more pleasing.

Based on what I have read and what I have heard from people I knew who
worked there, they have very high standards for food safety and cooked
food would have been trashed long before any fly larvae could possible
have been laid and hatched. It is more likely that they took it home
and let it sat out to attract flies in the hope of a hefty settlement,
or maybe just 5 minutes of fame.

Incans are too yellow for me. The LEDs we have are the whiter
"daylight" color temperature.

In the bathrooms, the over the mirror fixtures have three 60W equivalent
LED bulbs and it is nice and bright in there.

First you would have to be capable of understanding the concept, which you
obviously are not, but phrasing it your way..."let live and live."

Nope, no kidding. The figures are made of red unglazd terra cotta.
Today they may represent animals, human heads, and other fanciful
figures. IIRC, the terra cotta is allowed to soak in water. The
seeds are also thoroughly wet, then spread over the grooved exterior
surface of the terra cotta. They must be misted to maintain
sprouting and growth, although I cannot remember how often. It
takes a couple of weeks for a lush green covering to appear. My
favorite was always the lamb. I nver knew you could eat the seeds.

Yes, ONCE, Circa 1965... cost 19¢ and got my money's worth as I tasted
it for three days, wouldn't stop repeating. Living in So. Cal at the
time I must've tried all the fast food joints, only Der
Wienerschnitzel was worse than The Golden Arches. For a short time I
liked The Burger King, when they advertized "Have it your way.",
that's when they had a very nice condiment bar where you dressed your
nekid burger however you liked and have as much as you liked.... could
return several times for lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and
dressing. Back then ketchup, mustard, mayo, and dressing was in
gallon size pump jars, individual packets hadn't caught on yet... only
Der Weinerschnitzel had mustard and ketchup in packets, but they
charged 2¢ extra per... their tiny pink weenies were awful and cost
18¢... they looked lewd.

Since then the only burgers I eat are from meat I grind myself... THIS
is a burger:
https://postimg.org/image/5ca8trhc1/
Those are 12 ounce burgers in a 12" pan. I'll have them on a hard
roll or plated with no roll, usually topped with just fried onions...
it's not really a burger. it's more properly refered to as a "Chopped
Steak".

The raw meat must've been left unprotected at one time so flies could
get to it, then even if refrigerated the fly eggs will hatch not long
after coming to room temperature. I've seen maggots crawling en masse
on road kill, flies find it immediately and in no time their eggs
hatch... happens quickly during summer.

Just as likely flies got to it before slaughter, flies will lay eggs
in open wounds on livestock. Animals used for meat by fast food
joints are not always carefully inspected.

usually they use frozen burgers but I guess it is possible it was left
to defrost. Cooking though, would have killed them. That is why I'm
skeptical if they were alive as stated.

Where I live there are no street lights, on a cloudy night it can be
pitch black indoors, too dark to see past your nose. The older LEDs
emitted a harsh light but not anymore, now they are housed with a
filtering lens that blocks the harsh light spectrum. The particular
night lights I'm using emit a warm glow. I use them mainly so I don't
step on cats sleeping in the hallways, and to avoid stepping on gushy
wet hairballs. Cats also leave toys in unexpected places, and a
favorite game they play is to fight with bathroom floor mats and leave
them in a heap to be tripped on. Those who fall and can't get up are
the ninnies who are too cheap to use night lights.

Agreed. The mother dumped some maggots on there then took the pictures
hoping for a big settlement.

I don't know what you're doing that requires so much lighting in the
dark. I have one night light in the hallway at the other end of the
house because sometimes my cat sleeps on the couch in the den. She
probably doesn't need it but I turn it on when I go to the bedroom. Me,
I don't get up and wander around the house at night. I use Halogen
lightbulbs, lower watt and quite pleasant. Not harsh bright white
light. That's what Sheldon was talking about.

LOL, when I was 3, my mom wold have fed me *anything* she could get me
to eat. I was stuck on saltines and milk for a bit then slowly started
accepting fruits and veggies. It's very likely the first meats I
accepted might have been a cheeseburger though a whitecastle is more
likely due to the size and availability where we lived.

I love Lamb! Where do you get yours and what price? I generally use
Harris Teeters and stew meat is usually 3.97 while shoulder is usually
4.97. Both bone in but I'm fine with that and there isnt much bone on
the shoulder cut.

There are no street lights here, either. I don't drive in the dark. I
don't walk around the house in the dark. I go to bed, I go to sleep. I
turn out the beside lamp. It's a halogen bulb, BTW.

Mine doesn't. She seems to know the living room is the place for toys.

YOU'RE likely to step on cats sleeping in hallways. I'm not. No gooshy
hairballs, either. I know where my cat is when I go to bed. She's
either curled up next to me or asleep on the couch in the den. She does
not make play toys out of bath mats.

Sorry, your experience does not match mine. Then again, I've never had
multiple cats running around the house.

Krogers right? Thats seems to be closer to you and where you shop?

I see that ground lamb at HT as well but didnt pay attention to the
actual price.

OHH!!!! Good sounding!!

I was planning to shop today but the rain is variable and sporadically
me street looks like some drains may be overloading. Flash floor watch
until 8pm I think?

My favored curry blend for lamb is Rogan Josh.
