i work in a remote semi-supervisory role so most of my day involves babysitting call center agents in lower positions - i’m simultaneously in slack chatting with my agents, the customer database, and the company’s product while i work. so while i wouldn’t say i “whip” my head from side to side, i do have three…

that is an excellent idea, thank you

not a news flash, sorry to burst your superiority bubble. i don’t know any diabetic who hasn’t thought of all the possible worst case scenarios for not having insulin/a way to store it.
i have had too many close calls with insurance delays and pharmacy backlogs that now that i have the luxury of it (so many people…

good to know. i haven’t had to go that extreme before but i’ve had to use some that was at room temperature (air conditioned) for several months and it was ok. 

sure, as soon as i can afford it after i pay for all my medical stuff. someday.

every time i see speculative information on this kind of event, it’s always from a very ableist perspective. i can be prepared for a little while without power (i live where i get both bad hurricanes and outages due to ice and snow), but not months. if/when this happens, millions will be seriously harmed and millions…

outdoor cats i suspect? because the primary risk to them from dairy is copious amounts of diarrhea. if you aren’t scooping their litterbox then you probably don’t get faced with the results of drinking cow’s milk. 

sorry that you have to deal with so with ridiculous questions like that and with the whole ordeal of having a baby with a terrifying and chronic condition.
i’ve had the FMLA management people from jobs ask me when i expect to recover from my diabetes.
“well how long to you expect to need intermittent accomodation for…

as a person with adult onset type 1 diabetes, thank you for being aware it exists and mentioning it. i’ve had to explain it to too many doctors (thankfully not endocrinologists) and i actually have to carry a copy of my antibody labs for the doctors and hospitals who don’t believe me. i was diagnosed at 31, my cousin…

i did a school report on that in florida back in the 90's. the lottery was new! 28 cents of every dollar on lottery tickets went to schools!
... and the state stopped existing funding that took away the approximate equivalent of 70 cents per dollar received from lottery funding (i think? it’s been a long time) so it…

i save those up with my shrunken sweaters and worn out t shirt rags to stuff into old pillowcases or other cloth bags to make cat beds. my cats love bags full of bags as bedding.

i put sesame oil (and sometimes sesame seeds) on my chocolate or coffee ice cream. it’s magnificent.

non food use that needs a food safe lubricant: spray your clean dry cat litter box with cooking spray before filling with litter and after every time you wash it out. makes the litter less likely to clump and stick to the bottom. needs to be food safe in case any gets on your cat since they bathe themselves by…

i learned a thing when i used to decorate the donuts at dunkin and i now use it for all my sandwiches: if you apply something with a squeeze bottle that needs to be evenly spread on two equal flat surfaces should be applied to one, and them slap them together and work them around until both surfaces are evenly coated.

i hate mayo in almost all circumstances. but i’ve recently started doing something similar with another emulsion on sandwiches: toum on both slices of bread. although i’m about equally as likely to do toum on one slice and compound marmite butter on the other slice.

i get the special holiday reeses shapes like halloween pumpkins and easter eggs (more peanut butter than regular cups) and freeze those. not only for snacking as-is but also for tossing in the blender when making a milkshake. a chocolate-reeses-malted milkshake is almost but not quite “too much”

huh, just noticed i missed a vital part: “in a hot time of year”

hard salami, summer sausage, smoked meats - all delightful out in the woods and no worries about them sitting out for a bit while you set up the tent or mess with the fire

if you only bring hard cheese, and don’t go camping in a time of year - no fridge needed for the cheese. i only camp fall-winter-spring so unless i have to worry about cheese thieves (like raccoons or bears) i don’t worry about my extra sharp cheddar being in the cooler. (and obviously a cooler won’t keep out raccoons…

yep. the asian market near me sells them green in the produce section when they are in season.
