How about a fecal transplant? That seems to work better than probiotics.

You appear to be ignoring all the bio-evolutionary data that has been coming over the last decades. You are missing a huge piece of the puzzle. Efficiency! We evolved for a feast or famine life; when the famine time begins, the body gets more efficient; your body wants to keep you at stasis so if you increase you…

Thank you! I was about to go off on Zippertrap but you did a good job.

What I did was to curl up into a fetal position on my back, pulling my knees into my chest then slowly rotate my knees to the right then the left. Then do the same thing with one leg straight then the other. This would usually reduce the pain. Then, laying face down, I would cross my left leg over my right leg torquing…

Sigh! my primary doc dismissed my knee problems for years telling me to lose weight. Finally, I got some e-rays - surprise, surprise, my knees were bone on bone due to arthritis. I have had both knees replaced; my left hip replaced and am just now recovering from the replacement of my right shoulder. After the…

Hmmm, my method is to rinse the rice and add to boiling water, when the water begins to boil again, I turn the heat off cover it and wander back in about 20 minutes. I then fluff it with a carving fork, and, mmmm!

Thank you! I hate mushrooms and am glad there are other freaks like me around (I won’t mention the other 2 ‘pizza’ veggies I hate b/c I am probably the only person with that particular trifecta of hate).

I always considered temp jobs as ways to get back on unemployment, but then I came to ambition late in life - I am 70 and getting set to retire from my fed job. Probably would have done better if I had started a career before I turned 60 but I had a hell of a lot of fun.

Recipe!! I love cauliflower having just finished eating a head raw - i assume it is more than just packing cauliflower into a jar of vinegar.

‘Pickle’ is just a shorthand way of saying ‘pickled cucumber’ - there are many, many other things that are pickled but don’t/can’t get that short form. There are lots of these food shortcuts that seem to imply a way of processing foods is a way of processing a single food (ie. tomato ketchup). I am not ranting against…

I must ruefully confess to asking some of the women around me if they could touch their elbows behind their back. I think that may have been about the worst thing I did in high school (other than steal, lie, and almost burn down the baseball field.)

I’m a guy; I was 17 once; I never contemplated, let alone attempted, the rape of one of my peers. It is/was not normal guy behavior.

Time to become a card-carrying member of the aclu.

Remember when Prince had to use his glyph for -artist formerly known as Prince- he had to fight for the right to use his own name. He finally won his name back.

Same for me but replace ‘dog’ with ‘cat’ - she won’t move even if I put the fitted sheet on over her; once I forgot about her until time for sleep - she scared the sh*t out of me when I climbed into bed and she squawled.

Yes! I finally noticed the tag trick; I have some blankets w/o the satin liner at the top so finding the correct ‘long end’ the first time saves effort.

I ended up with gums so bad that I needed courettage - the base work is French for ‘scoop’, the process is they go in and scoop out a bunch of rotted gum tissue. The gum line is shortened but the gums heal and I now brush at least once a day but mostly twice.

Sigh! Sorry but that was all I could see/think of in that pic. I am 70 y.o. and my hands seem younger.

Are those the ugliest hands ever???

Off-campus life includes fraternities and sororities which are definitely education/school related.
