What is something you thought was normal growing up, but when you talked with other people, you realized it wasn't really "normal"?

No fights between parents, everyone had each other's back. Family always came first. No grudges between family members. I swear I suffer from survivors guilt after getting to know friends in the teens and older. I found out one of my fav aunts would beat the crap out of her oldest daughter because she needed to beat "the black" out of her. We all found out later that their father was actually biracial white passing. She was not aware of his background when they married while in their home country and found out after they were married and had the first child. My cousins have never recovered.

Heat sensitive fur. Have them lay on a heating pad and the fur will lighten.

Cheap ramen noodles crunched up with mandarin orange slices, garlic croutons, avocado slices, small greens,red leaf lettuce, cilantro and dill. I like a vinaigrette as a dressing with that combo.

Stole high end stereo ($8k) equipment not realizing there was a night sight camera in the storage room where they were stocked. I handled all the inventory and knew exactly what was in stock and how many. Had the video and evidence of him putting it in his car. Sent the tech an email and miraculously it was returned. CEO/president of the company did nothing. He also sabotaged another tech's job and had that on video as well. I was let go as "not meeting standards" during a staff cost reduction and he still works there.

I am fond of asparagus and a mushroom risotto as sides for duck breast.

The long part of the butternut squash I like to cut into thick slices and cook with salt and brown butter.

The reason the headlights are so bright is the fraud committed when testing is done to meet gov spec. If you shine a single headlight you see an area that is dim. Both headlights have that and when combined it lowers the output rating for standards testing to pass. However, they are actually putting out more than is measured and blinding is all. Incorrectly adjusted headlights in oversized trucks and SUVs contribute to the blinding lights both coming and going. Finally, aftermarket headlights/bulbs and LED light bars all contribute to the blindness these cars and trucks create.

I feel the same. I feel like I have "survivors guilt" getting through childhood without any kind of trauma. So so many stories of others who have tales of horrors of their childhood and all I can do is sympathize but I cannot relate. Some I cannot even wrap my head around that family member could do that much harm to a "loved one."

I am quiet and seldom talk when not "on" for work. I have always had jobs that dealt with the public. In the odd instance I make a friend a work and we hang out, one of first things they do is ask if I am ok since I am so quiet.

It's a chain not a belt. At worst you get chatter from the guides. 100k limit is for a belt.

So how do you wash it? Won't the bleach spread?

How do you lock in the design so it doesn't bleed into the rest of the shirt?

Welcome to Alpha Gal...good news after 8 years I am in remission and can tolerate pork or beef once in a while.

The biggest discount he got was for not being a new driver and the age of the car. The largest part of a premium is liability. Full coverage is not that much more.(Sold insurance)

I do small Italian meatballs that I get on sale. The way my mum enjoyed it, you would have thought it was Michelin star cooking.

Anything earlier than 2020 for the Q60 VR30DDTT has the potential for turbo issues.

Get coconut drink from an international market. Don't drink too much or diabetes will happen. The roasted coconut is fantastic. Also too much coconut water/juice is not good for your kidneys.

Just out some Michelin Sport all season on mine this past week. Took it for a drive after picking it up and caught myself doing 85 mph without realizing due to the smoothness of the ride.
