California, early nineties, and no one gave me shit (except for my Mom*) and I did it publicly, in peoples homes, etc. I’m rather horrified when I hear stories of women being told to “do that in the bathroom” or some such. Do you eat in the bathroom? I certainly hope not, so don’t ask my kid to do so.

Read both of your responses, and thank you for going into depth.

Tried this before, will try again:

I know! Amananda? And beaches are now possesive? What the hell’s wrong with a nipple? I used mine to feed my son when he was a baby, and I was lucky - no one gave me shit for it, but if some asshole would think that is an open invitation to grab my boob he’d get a kick un the teeth.

Part of a bigger problem. Kids don’t get good meals for many reasons, and some of them are that they don’t have a safety net at home, or grandma or grandpa. Mom and Dad can be unemployed, or what money they do make doesn’t stretch far enough. There is nuance.

Stale bread gives it more body, and it’s a good use for leftover bread. knock some cinnamon into your egg mixture, if you like that sort of thing, and fry it up in some bacon grease, because life is short anyway ;).

ETA: I posted before scrolling down the comments. Nope, shit hasn’t changed at all.

You’re a dumbshit. Quit digging that hole you’re in.

Huh. An improvement I guess, since the 80’s/90’s when I had men throwing things at me on my bike, and forcibly cutting me off. Oh, and having people ask me when they saw me in my jacket with my helmet: “Does your boyfriend have a bike?” I was even accused of doing it for the look.

Stale baugette or boule.

We are lucky to live in such nice and expensive areas, aren’t we? The converse is to be living in cheaper areas where there is no work. They got all this worked out, haven’t they? ;)

And thank you for some oils I haven’t tried yet! Need to check those out. I’m in the central coast area, so we are almost neighbors. Love SF and visit it often.

Do we work with the same guy? I swear, if you don’t like something he likes, you’re an idiot, but if you dare criticise his tastes, he comes back weaponized!

I know, this is Jezebel at its best - a community. I learn so much here, and have seen things I never would have before. Lots of smart people here (and the occasional troll).

Ugh, I remember Sun-In. My sister could use it, but it would turn my brown hair that funky pumpkin (Funky Pumpkin - band name?). I’ve been playing with home made cosmetics to the point of having a small cottage industry in the 90’s, then discovered other people were doing it better with much more capital than I had. I…

It’s gotta be better than the Veganaise (or whatever it was called) stuff I tried during a vegan phase. some of the fakes taste really good, and some meat things I could do without, but dammit...cheese. Have yet to try a decent vegan cheese, and that’s what sent me back to the dark side.

Yeah, too right. I had a co-worker grossed out by something I was eating, and he is usually very vocal on what he likes and doesn’t - if he doesn’t, it’s bad crap, and you are a crap person for eating it.

Another Mazz jumping in. Don’t know about it being a lice treatment, but yes, mayo is a good conditioner/hair mask that takes a lot of shampoo and rinsing to get out. That was the trouble with the 70’s make-your-own cosmetics - rinsing. Mashed banana and avocados work well, stale beer for shine, but who wants to smell…

Good for her! She is so brave to tell her story and to point out how hard it is now to get a simple LEGAL medical procedure that shouldn’t be anyone’s business but hers and her doctor.

I wish I could star this more. I say this as a person who had the time and the knowledge to cook such things when I had a family, as well as a garden and chickens, and the luxury to be able to do all of these things. Later I was a single mum living in an apartment with a gross roomate and my son, working two jobs, and…
