My experience is mostly with kidney beans and if I do not throw out that brown fluid after I soak them, I end up with some sever gastrointestinal distress. There are indigestible sugars in there that go clear through to the colon, where they are broken down into obnoxious gasses. This is from about 50 years of…

Weirdly, I’ve also heard that some people that were suffering from long covid were actually cured by the vaccine when given it. Just get the vaccine. There is NO case where covid is better for you.

Even better, I buy mine in bulk (well, in 3's) from Amazon. I do have a “professional grade” dentist-made night guard, but I prefer the cheap and easily replaceable. I just wish my prior dentist had pointed it out earlier, my teeth are probably closer to cows than to sharks.

We had a amusing issue with hiding a wifi name at the office.

I am a flight attendant.  I have been trained to shove unwilling people down the slide to keep the flow moving.
