Transgender woman loses case against ex who threw out jar of testicles https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13062699/testicles-michigan-transgender-muslim-woman-sued-genitals.html?ito=native_share_article-nativemenubutton

Just as I would never break an egg directly into a cake mixture, always via a mug first.

Yes I always break each egg into a little pot I mostly use for this purpose, easy to fish out any bits of shell.

Also keep my eggs in the fridge, in the box. Never had any issues.

And apparently, the nut's nuts were mouldering in the fridge and the other fella binned them.

I'd have binned them too.

<puts DP on notice>

I keep my eggs in the larder. I keep my balls in my eye sockets, my shoulders and my hip joints because I'm a woman and they're all the balls I was born with.

I get my eggs fresh from my chickens. They have a special storage spiral thing so u can always use the oldest first. No washing, no fridge, no cup cracking. (And no balls)

Eggs is Russian slang for testes.

Same in Polish.

Perhaps if the offending bollocks had been dried and stored like eggs in one of those charming old fashioned brown china hens, rather than the fridge, drama could have been avoided?

I got so confused with this and read "next to her eggs" and I could just not understand how you could have balls and eggs - and also why you would keep either in the fridge.

Oooh, can you link that for me please? We are just writing the date in sharpie on our eggs, which doesn't look very nice. Sorry, I realise this is not what this thread is about!

Guessing he missed being able to play with them once they were lobed off so was saving them for the male pleasure of fondling their balls whilst watching tv.
i keep my eggs in the fridge - no bollocks in there currently

If your larder is colder than your fridge, then you do refrigerate your eggs, just not in the fridge. I agree that uncovered in the door of the fridge is one of the worst places to store eggs.

Most of us don't have a cool larder though, so the fridge is the next best thing as room temperature is far too warm and they'll taste stale well before their best before date. They're best stored in their box on one of the shelves.

Of course most supermarket eggs aren't very fresh when you buy them as they have a 4 week shelf life and are usually a couple of weeks old (or more) before you even buy them.

They look like this: https://www.marksandspencer.com/wire-egg-slide/p/hbp60485178?extid=ps_ps-pla-pmax_ggl_home_ch__-UK-_-_bau&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD7g6bSaqBUEPKpY4dl_JZitftGgc&gclid=CjwKCAiAt5euBhB9EiwAdkXWOztN875RNGh4oBbI9rQWGazt4BtwACzNY7K6NWtXE2PqzikqmTbOpBoCFP4QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

but I think ours was from Amazon. You put the eggs in the top. When you take one from the bottom the next oldest roly polys down. Sometimes a gentle nudge is required if it’s a very large or slightly elongated egg!

I should mention that the deep dive video is particularly interesting because the host-researcher Meg has MS.

Meg's particularly irritated by the deployment of disability as a weapon because of the potential harm to others who have disabilities for which they have authenticated diagnoses rather than a medical fragility into which they've self-identified.

I love that some people are more shocked about where people keep their eggs, than a bloke keeping his bollocks in the fridge.

It's so mumsnet

It's all very "that's nice dear" about the bollocks and ”YOU DID WHAT???????!???? " with regards the eggs isn't it!!

I think we’re all just a bit used to make craziness.

but egg craziness. No way 🤣

In the US eggs are washed in detergent. This removes the natural coating which otherwise protects the egg from going off, so they have to be stored in the fridge. In the UK the coating is preserved so no need to store in the fridge.

As to this story, words fail me!

I’ve always said - age + parenthood + experience toddler wrangling and teen tantrums = 🥱 (and few shits left to give)

I'd no idea that people kept eggs out of the fridge. Is this something else visitors have been judging me for?
As a vegetarian, I quite fancied the idea of being given my placenta as it seemed like meat I could legitimately eat, but not to the extent of actually asking to keep it.

Over a year!!!! That chap deserves a medal - if my husband decided to become a trans woman and left his balls in the fridge I reckon I'd last three days max before mincing and frying them.

I made my own egg rack as I was fed up of the "footprint" of the big tray we were using. It's a bit like this but made of plywood and holds 18 eggs.

I liked the bit in the video where the ex said the claimant had talked of setting the severed balls in epoxy resin but it never happened and they continued to languish in the ex's fridge.

I guess there's a peak paperweight moment with body parts. And once it's gone, it's gone.

That's how my mum did it in the 80s!! I still do occasionally, especially if doing more than a couple 🙃

Fanny Craddock said “I would no more keep an egg in a refrigerator than a baby.”

I trust Fanny.

In all this discussion of possessing someone else's body parts I'm reminded of the comedian Ed Byrne. He was joking about a pre-vasectomy chat with the doctor in which he acknowledged that, DVLA style, he was merely the keeper of his balls, his wife was the owner.

I suppose keeping them in the fridge is better than eating them.
