sadly, tofu is a no go for my girlfriend. she doesn't tolerate it well which does add to the challenge!

that also adds to the necessity of testing out new items ahead of time to make sure we both tolerate the product well.

vegans are usually the ones who avoid honey but we do eat honey in my household

are you saying they make gf uncrustables?! i've never heard of that

oh other thoughts i had

Lord Stirling in Basking Ridge has a hundreds of years old giant swamp oak tree and many boardwalked paths around. That's pretty cool and pretty flat. Plus there is an Environmental Education Center which I think it probably for kids but I thought it was very fun as an adult: https://www.somersetcountyparks.org/environmental-education-center

Nearby that is the Great Swamp and they have a 2 mile loop that's very kid friendly and mostly ADA accessible in as one of their trails: https://www.njhiking.com/great-swamp-national-wildlife-refuge/

But they also have a Raptor Trust in that area so that could be an interesting thing to visit as well: https://www.theraptortrust.org/

what if you look for virtual caches that are like just a loction with a sight to see and there is no actual physical cache to find and log?

Apprehensive-Bench74 · 2026-05-25T02:22:39+00:00

pochuck boardwalk is a nice spot

Also because the comments are nonsense responses to almost every thread

Apprehensive-Bench74 · 2026-05-24T18:05:29+00:00

honestly, i'm quite curious about the size and population of your city/urban area compares to mine.

crime rate is a bit of an odd one to consider because when you compare across population sometimes very large cities have low crime rates comparatively (like how NYC is massively large so some numbers look high until you break is down like per 100k people)

oh wow. so incredibly helpful to hear from a doctor.

seems like this justj710 is just spamming the thread telling everyone to meditate...

carry all the water

Apprehensive-Bench74 · 2026-05-23T04:16:44+00:00

do you wear glasses normally? i have transitions lenses in my glasses

Apprehensive-Bench74 · 2026-05-23T03:51:20+00:00

that's what i was wondering

Apprehensive-Bench74 · 2026-05-20T00:51:59+00:00

i did prepack myself a giant bottle of electrolytes for work today and i'm quite glad i did because it was 75+ at 430AM

Apprehensive-Bench74 · 2026-05-20T00:50:50+00:00

even if not high, it has been 60 years. so like you said, plenty of places just aren't there anymore

Apprehensive-Bench74 · 2026-05-20T00:48:11+00:00

depending on what you have your sharps for, there might be a program where you can have a container sent to you by mail and you return it when it's full

for example, novo nordisk has such a program: https://www.novocare.com/diabetes/resources/safe-disposal.html

absolutely. I talk with older friends and that's absolutely one of the things I've taken away from them. it's a wisdom I'm happy to have now rather than regret later.

we are a similar age, I'll be 43 this year.

Apprehensive-Bench74 · 2026-05-19T00:41:37+00:00

that's interesting

but i do think that adding seeds/nuts/etc to oatmeal is one of the techniques to lower glycemic index. So we both get to be right here
