Thank you thank you for this! My mouth is watering already! Yes, yes, yesssss!

Ok, thank you for explaining this. So I’m guessing it’s just a preference of style, then.

Oh god, I’d never made that connection, but you’re right. Ugh, realizing that just hit me hard. This was in the 80s on the east coast, so I’m wondering whether this was/is a common tactic, or if this may have been a golden state killer copycat thing?

I think we have talked about this before! My apologies— my memory is total garbage these days. ;)

Ok, mind is totally blown over here. What is this sorcery? I’ve never heard of it, but I want in! Thank you, thank you, thank you for just expanding my whole food universe! So do you use a low heat food dehydrator to do that? I can’t think of the term for those, but I’m guessing you don’t want the drying process to…

That sounds like heaven, honestly! I’m so cold year round that I always have a hot water bottle *and* a microwave heat pack in my lap, I’m always dressed warmly from head to toe, sit under thick double layer fleece blankets, sometimes an additional electric blanket, with the heat cranking (or the ac maintaining a…

Sure thing! Well, I should tell you that I’m not a nutritionist or a healthcare provider, and I’m just communicating what my doctor has explained, to the best of my ability... I’d love for one of the MD Jezzies here to chime in if something here isn’t accurate!

Thank you! I’m glad it helped because that’s a pain that’s hard to describe, isn’t it? Unfortunately I’m familiar with disc rupture — in numerous areas of my spine, I now have no discs remaining (they’ve now completely degenerated away), and that all started as a series of numerous disc ruptures, running the entire…

Thank you SO much for sharing this. I’m really glad you listened to your own instincts and ignored the quack, because that’s exactly what your son needed. FWIW, my husband is a healthcare worker who cares for autistic adults in residential settings, and this is exactly what he has been educated to do in that kind of…

I know, right? Ok, so the specifics in your comment made me smile, and here’s why (sorry this is long, as I’m too tired to be concise):

Thank you! You’re absolutely right. I’m not a big fan of Gwyneth or goop, but she absolutely did NOT suggest that any of these treatments would be an effective means of treating a COVID infection. That was total click bait.

Exactly this! Although tbh, I really wish I could afford an at-home IR sauna, even a wall mounted unit.

“Pie? There was pie? Fuck, man... we missed it.”

Well I guess to be fair, I have moderate OCD, and there are definitely things I do that probably cause other people to scratch their heads, some if it is kitchen and food related (apple doesn’t fall far, after all).

The kerning. God, the kerning. This just seems like the handwriting of a teenager trying way too hard.

Plus, it looks like she wrote this with a felt tip/fine point sharpie. Tbh, my handwriting looks pretty similar to hers when I print with a felt tip vs. printing with a standard ballpoint or gel pen... so I’m just assuming her pen selection might be a factor.

Since you’re knowledgeable and seem like a reasonable gun owner, do you think anyone should own an AR-15? In my mind, no one outside of law enforcement (specialized officers/swat team, not just your average LEO) and active duty military personnel should be allowed access to them. But am I missing something, though?

I am completely freaked out by the idea that someone in a store might be legally carrying a gun at any time, just walking around the rest of us with a deadly weapon tucked into their pants or holster or purse. There are so many concealed carry nuts out there who pay little attention to the “no weapons allowed” signs,…

I agree. But I think it depends on where you live, tbh. And FWIW, I don’t own a gun, and will never own a gun. I hate guns. I’m clumsy and accident prone, and I know I’m better off taking my chances on an intruder breaking in (unlikely in the low crime/safe neighborhood where I live) than I’d be having a gun in the…

Yeah, I know what you’re saying. I’m aware of the issue with potential parasites in fish... but no, I really don’t think my mom demonstrated having a toe in reality when she asked a chef to cook her salmon TWICE (!!!) before serving it to her. That’s overkill.
