I have employer-provided health insurance here in the U.S. In June I called my GP to make an appointment and the soonest available was 7 weeks out. And it’s not in some under-served community or something, it’s in a major university city and is a well-funded organization affiliated with said university.

I think you could easily accidentally tune out the stuffed animal, too, though. The common advice is to take off one shoe and put it in the back seat when you have a kid back there. You can ignore a stuffed animal in the seat next to you, but you’re damn sure to notice if you get out, start walking and one foot is…

Yes. Google ‘keto cinnamon roll pancakes’ and you’ll find some options. You don’t have to be on a keto diet to benefit from the food substitutions keto teaches one to use, and this doesn’t make it a ‘health food’ but miles better than the version mentioned in the article.

From the Slate article:

Has she just done too many drugs or is this just a complete lack of self-awareness that comes from becoming vaguely famous in that I’ve never heard of her but you’re writing about her so I’ll take your word for it kind of way? 

Yes, exactly. According to the article, I make just slightly above average for women in my age group. But, I live in a very inexpensive part of the country, so my income goes further. 

Same! And while this isn’t anywhere near as cool as a hobbit hole, we have family friends who basically bought a plot of land with a good grassy hill on it and built a home inside the hill. I thought it was the coolest thing as a kid in the 80s. The insides are very regular house stuff, wooden floors, a stone…

Wow, that’s so cool! Bag End is practically palatial for a hobbit hole!

Yeah I live in a very very small Midwestern town and our liquor store sells Firestone beer. I might be the only person who’s every bought any there though lol. 

I’ve never heard of it nor seen it in stores, huh. Maybe b/c I don’t really look at the fruity canned drinks since I avoid sugary drinks and I assume they have more sugar than, say, a light beer or seltzer. 

I thought it was spelled pimiento? I’m in the Midwest, is it a regional thing?

I feel like I’ve tried all of the mainstream hard seltzers except this one. I keep my diet very low sugar for health reasons, so a hard seltzer fits that pretty well. I like that they’re kinda refreshing and don’t taste like alcohol, but most of the kinds I’ve tried have that sort of artificial sugar-like aftertaste…

The ‘Kult Kollection’ LOL that’s the perfect name for these oversized, frumpy potato sacks. Incredibly kreepy and kulty. 

“I’ll grab and hug and smell and touch, it’s just how I was raised”

In this case, my guess would be he wasn’t properly licensed for that kind of business. Maybe he was at one time but let it expire, that happens a lot in various businesses. If people verify your credentials when the business relationship begins, they often won’t bother to confirm you’re keeping your license up.

“BRC owner Stephen Gore wrote in a letter to a judge that the business was a “labor of love” that had overwhelmed him. “This was an industry that had no formal regulations to look to for guidance,” he wrote.”

When I watch his movies, I can feel him gazing back at himself like Tate watching herself in the movie theater. As if he’s making a movie with the douche bro audience adulation palpably in mind rather than just making a great fucking movie. I think at some point his most rabid fandom became enough for him personally…

Schnitzel is pan-fried, breaded tenderloins are deep fried, very similar!

I believe you’re right. 

The hell it is! I’ve never in my life seen someone come at a breaded tenderloin with a fork and knife, that’s blasphemy.
