Can’t I choose several options? Also, sometimes I may have several of the types combined at the same time, for example mushy suspended in watery, or snake, then mush. Or a shape with the characteristics of another, like cracked-surface soft-snake, not sausage. 😕 Please don’t tell me what all of that means. I have enough worries in my life already. ---

By the way, today I had type 7 combined with type 5, ending with a type 3ish thing. ---

I got there a bit late, went to the bathroom first, but still got a seat. It was a noon lecture-they served lunch. Sandwiches, not sausages.
