To follow up with everyone else, it really seems to depend more on the person than on age. I had a Mirena for over three years and eventually had to have it taken out because of discomfort and spotting. It did stop my periods though, which was excellent. The previous recommendation was to only give them to women who…

I honestly think they have caved to requests/done it looking for any exciting new product opportunity. I mean, I guess it's a Thing, but since the essence of a cappuccino is steamed milk, it sort of inherently turns into an iced latte when iced. Maybe it's more milky or frothy or somehting but it seems like an…

I am familiar with that atrocity, which we do have here. That is a frappuccino by another name.

I had NO IDEA they used foam on the ice! Like, when I say iced cappuccinos aren't real (which has apparently really pissed off someone in the grays) I mean that it sort of is only half possible, due to the steamed milk and foam. But ... coffee finds a way?

We thought my husband had something called Adult Selective Eating Disorder before he was diagnosed as being on the spectrum. We also investigated the possibility of him being a supertaster. In any case, he is almost physically incapable of trying new things or eating anything (not even unusual) out of his ordinary.

Weirdly, maybe because I grew up on the poor-Ohioan diet of fake cheese and bologna, I actually prefer the mystery-crap hotdogs to all beef or kosher. Give me a hotdog from one of those rolling heater things, slightly greasy and plump and made with things I do NOT need to know about.

I can kinda see my husband looking at it, if I ordered it, and asking "what is wrong with your bread?" but he also has a special and very weird relationship to food. He would not have ordered the Reuben in the first place, and knows exactly what to expect out of the small number of foods he WILL eat, so he wouldn't…

Yeah, I have accidentally ordered hot drinks and been corrected by a good barista. Clearly, the woman is an idiot, iced cappuccinos aren't a real thing, and she should have said what she wanted, but still, that could maybe have gone better.

I was about to say that this sounded absurd and unexpected, and then I remembered all the terrible things that happen during Passover in an attempt to not eat grains. Really, just don't eat those things during that time, there is no reason to try to make cake and whatnot.

That is the BEST way to make them. I can't eat eggs anymore and that is what I miss most.

Yeah, I suspect the fault lies more with Dunkin Donuts and/or Tim Hortons, whichever has the "Iced Cap." It might be Timmy Hos, I stopped drinking them when I realized they were disgusting and the whipped cream was a non-dairy product that would not dissolve in hot water. Either way, I think places like that serve a…

I use almost exclusively kosher salt but it's because I like the size of the grains. I could just get sea salt that was around the same size, but I can generally get a nice big jar of kosher salt that is just what I want. I use it for almost all my baking. My Jewish (but not kosher) in-laws also only eat kosher…

Having read this novel - as an adult! - and liked it, I do feel like this movie looks like a good but very "hollywood teen movie" version. In defense of the book, the whole point is sort of fighting against that manic pixie dream girl thing, in that Margo has her own life and issues and reasons for doing things and…

I am offended by that spelling of offended. I am also not entirely sure how American football is offensive (well, domestic violence issues, absurd marketing, etc.) but I am pretty sure not wanting to watch it does not make me un-American.

That is actually sort of fascinating!

Waffle House is a special type of terrible. I have never been to one that did not sort of scare me.

It does always seem to be attached to things people think are important that they are ranting about stupidly. It would be like very old writing in which anything that the author thought was important got a capital, but since it is every word I just have no idea what is going on. I read it in a tone of voice in which…

My phone does periodic random capitalization, including sometimes in the middle of a word. I despise it, but am also a lazy texter and will accept the odd capital most of the time.

I secretly sort of hate-love horrible Facebook people, so I voted for that since I also do not know what a surprise album. I might be a masochist though.

Yeah, when my husband parks in them I am concerned that someone will freak out at him, but as a woman who could easily be pregnant - who is to say my smallish belly ISN'T just fat? - I assume I'm safe. They say "expectant mother" on most of the ones around here.
