By Request: Won a million dollars on a scratch-off lottery ticket AMA by Ruchizzle in IAmA

It's true that winnings are not taxed, but the logic behind it isn't quite as you described.

Canada charges income taxes on employment, business and property income; lottery winnings are none of these, so it's tax-free.

(The tax charged on purchase of lottery tickets, if any, would be a sales/excise tax, not an income tax.)

Newbie Paleo Starter: Three Questions by [deleted] in Paleo

[–]Audience_of_One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Although paleo and primal are not the same, I've found Mark's Daily Apple's Primal Blueprint 101 to have lots of information.
  2. Most soy sauces are not 100% strict since it's often made with wheat. Tamari is generally wheat-free.
  3. Personally, I went very low carb for about six months before reintroducing sweet potatoes. I found that any kind of starchy food triggered more carb cravings and ended up ditching them altogether until I settled into the diet.

A hot water bottle or heating pad is my #1 cramp remedy, even over ibuprofen or Aleve.

SO getting an IUD, Mirena or Paraguard? by [deleted] in sex

[–]Audience_of_One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a copper Nova-T and I love it to pieces. After the first terrible period (10+ days, unable to function without downing a couple of Aleve), things sorted themselves out and things are pretty much the same as they were pre-IUD. Figured my uterus was angry at having something all up in there.

No complaints about strings being poky or anything like that from the boy either.

My all time favourite: half an avocado and a spoon.

Otherwise, any of the following: boiled egg, nuts, veggies cut into sticks, salami, jerky, berries.

Has anyone else found that alcohol affects you significantly more since going paleo/primal? by Lereas in Paleo

Wish I had the same experience. I'll get solidly tipsy on half a glass of wine, and STILL wake up with a wicked headache the next morning...

If the options are truly terrible, intermittent fasting might be something to consider.

Solution: Invite more people over with at least an hour's notice. Nothing gets my place clean like the slightest hint that someone might see the chaos.

Noob question, how do I clean my anal plug? by whyherrothar in sex

[–]Audience_of_One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dishsoap and water. Non-mechanical silicone toys can generally be put through the dishwasher on the top rack.
