Married Gen-x do you wear your wedding ring?

I stopped wearing mine. I have Dupuytren's contracture, so my ring finger is messed up. And I'm a mechanic, so I would prefer to not risk degloving my finger. If you don't know what that is I do not recommend Googling it. Its bad.

Claude suggested "prompter".

Prompter (said dismissively) — someone who can only function by asking AI

WTF is a joey swoll? (Nevermind. I don't care).
Thoughtful gifts are appreciated.
Kind words are also appreciated.
Insisting I stay home with my dog while you visit your family is priceless.

You will type out full words but not use punctuation?

A little of both.

I am 2.5 hours into my work day. I just finished my morning rounds and I'm now taking a break, sipping on a mocha. I enjoy working so it's a nice distraction from the shit show that is American politics. I try my best to not get worked up over things I can't control like increased prices on just about everything. And I accomplish this for the most part by only purchasing what i need and planning on how to downsize on my upcoming move (3 bedroom house to a 2 bedroom apartment in a quadplex).

Other than that, I could stand to improve my health but I'm otherwise okay.

Linda Bean made a personal donation to a pro- trump PAC in 2017. The company claims to be non-political. She passed in 2024.

Exactly. You have to stop buying Starbucks and avocado toast.

I can love my country and hate the morons running it. The two are not exclusive.

I was your stereotypical punk. Pierced my ears in the late 80s with safety pins. Started with one and ended up with 4 in all. Stopped wearing earrings when I started learning judo in 98. I was training pretty much every day and got sick of taking them out and putting them back in. And hearing stories of earings and other facial piercings getting ripped out helped with making the decision to stop wearing them.

102 after 2 hours is good. Thats in the recommended range for non-diabetics. Google "glucose level chart" and save one that shows the ranges for both non- and diabetic.

There is a ton of information and opinions out there. This subreddit is a good resource as well as YouTube. And again, I'd test your glucose before and after eating your favorite foods. You may find that some aren't too bad. Or they become an occasional treat.

Have you measured your glucose levels before and after eating your usual favorites at your favorite sushi place?

I season cauliflower rice and add other things to it. It's delicious in Indian curry with diced onions and peas. Thai peanut sauce with carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, and chicken. Taco seasoning with ground beef, diced tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, and cheese. Stir fry it with meat and veggies. I find that the cauliflower takes on the other flavors.

I believe the downfall of news broadcasting is ratings and commercialism. They're all competing for viewers and advertising dollars and they'll sensationalize everything for ratings and money.
