I got my booster (Moderna) last week, and had a slightly sore arm for a couple of days. My previous two doses were Pfizer, with the first dose doing absolutely nothing, and the second one causing a sore arm.

Clean your gas fireplace ONCE A MONTH??? Please tell me that’s some elaborate April fool’s joke or something :(

Yes!!! Fingers crossed for this

I’ve been running my ac to keep my bedroom at 60 degrees :(

Yep! I used to be able to forget to apply in the morning and only worry about sweaty armpits (not stinky). I could go for days before the odor started. Now post-menopause, I gotta be on top of it or things get pretty rank fast. 

Bravo!

Pie-in-the-sky solutions aside, what if they start small - I don’t know the numbers but I’ve wondered what percentage of drunk drivers out there are “accidental” drunks and/or wishful thinkers? A vast majority of people don’t have any idea how to judge their own impairment. And a blanket statement of “just don’t drive…

That’s an amazingly classist statement to make. It feels like you’ve fallen into the wealth = intelligence and/or morality trap. Poor impulse control spans all walks of life. And you’d be surprised how many high functioning alcoholics are out there who maintain good jobs and social circles and keep up appearances.

One of the things that really gets me is the petulant whining about the rules he’s supposed to follow, that he claims are in place only to humiliate him. The statement he made about being “tested negative 300 times before testing positive once” is especially obnoxious. Like, that’s right you jackass, right there you ju…

December 21st is my favorite day of the year! The day we start to claw our way out of the darkness.

Yes, love DST! But really, if we could just settle on one and stick to it that would be so much better, even if it’s this dwell-in-darkness version

Oof, what’s wrong with Carl that he couldn’t just give his argument once, or at least agree that it’s gross? Trivia time: technically spitting in public is illegal. It’s one of those old laws that has just hung around on the books and as far as I know is never enforced. It goes back to when tuberculosis was rampant…

Agreed! About four months ago my garbage disposal completely bit the dust (and as a parting gift sprayed garbage water all over the cabinet under the sink, ugh). It is a testament to my laziness that I haven’t had it replaced yet, but taught me that I’m quite happy without one and its temperamental ways. Now what I DO…

You know, my immediate reaction to this was that if I were at this school, I’d immediately go and check out all of these books! Take that, you bastards, let’s all screw with your anticipated statistics. I’m quite comfortable in my straightness, which I figure gives me some emotional cushion in that it wouldn’t be…

I’m closing next week on a condo… I also thought I’d wait for the market to ease up, but everything I’ve read says prices aren’t likely to go down, just slow their meteoric rise. And interest rates are likely to go up soon as well. Even in the white-hot market in the Pacific Northwest, I (unexpectedly) found an…

Details, details… 😂

Yep, it’s all psychological, and the number of people out there that buy based on condition are severely outnumbered by those that buy based on emotion. Another reason, as another poster said, is to distract from any flaws. And yet another reason is to entice people in the first place, now that there are massive…

I used to have a dog whose main oddity was rolling on worms! And one of my first dogs LOVED slugs, mostly to chew on. That’s when I discovered that the inside of a slug smells so putrid that words cannot describe it.

Trying to lose/maintain weight is so frustrating, because it’s so individual! Add to that the fact that over a lifetime our bodies change so much. I’m like you, 5’4” but almost 50, and right now about 155, down from 175 over the past 5 months or so. The last time I got down to 130, I looked skeletal. So 140 is my…

Scratchy bread that rips up the roof of my mouth!
