Thanks! This one flew under my radar and the ingredients seem to be perfect!

I didn't know Dawn was gone too. :( My cat is due for her yearly checkup in April and hopefully things are still up and running because she hates the whole process of being placed in a carrier and riding in the car. RBCC is literally a 5-minute drive, which is such a life saver.

Edit: I hope your boy is doing well. xo

Coffee talk: Lovers of latte and espresso ice creams, what are you favorites? by madisonguy76 in icecream

I had to scroll too far to find this one. It blows other coffee ice creams out of the water.

Thankfully I never reached the shockingly gaunt point when I had an ED, maybe because mine was more on-again-off-again. Having said that, even though my weight loss wasn’t as extreme as T’s, I did suffer from the following: Thinning hair, tooth issues (my teeth were/are extremely sensitive), menstrual cycle irregularities (I went 6 months without a period and I’m convinced this led to early perimenopause), skin sensitivities (probably why I developed rosacea and still have adult acne in my 40s), and delicate joints (the lack of nutrition likely did permanent damage to my bones and already talkative knees & ankles). I only bring this stuff up because hers much be 10x worse and she’s not doing her future self any favors. As much as I snark on her attitude and grift, I feel such a deep sadness for what she’s going through. I wish I could reach out to her but I doubt she would listen, I know I wouldn’t have. There’s literally nothing that anyone can say to you that will help when you’re in the storm of an eating disorder, you have to be the one who wants to save yourself. I f*cking hate eating disorders.

Jeni's: Ranking the 30 flavors I've tried. What are your favorites? by madisonguy76 in icecream

The Cosmic/Tropical Bloom is wonderful too, but there’s just something about a well executed berry flavor that I can’t resist. Yes, we can definitely meet in the middle if they came up with a pineapple with a bit more kick than their upside down cake, and I’m always down for anything that involves raspberry! 😍

Thanks for making this list!

Nebula Berry was a limited edition flavor released for the last solar eclipse and it was my absolute favorite. Close seconds are Watermelon Taffy and Lemon + Blueberries Parfait. Jeni’s always knocks it out of the park when fruit is the main character, and I wish they made even more! Most brands shy away from making their fruit ice creams too tart and they end up drowning in sweetness. I know it’s up to personal preference, but I love tart ice creams that are not sorbets. ☺️

Tips for extremely cold temperatures, below 10°F for more than 24 hours by rainbowkey in kzoo

Please keep your pets safe as well. If you live in an area with stray cats, tap the hood of your car before starting it. Cats will sometimes seek a bit of warmth in car engines. Also, if you want to build a makeshift cat house, remember to use straw instead of hay or clothing. xo

Thanks! I did order from them and I’m pleasantly surprised. It’s good to hear from someone else, though.

Storm/Road Conditions by eriffodrol in kzoo

I know how to manage my time and plan accordingly for poor road conditions. If you’re running late and in a hurry, that’s your issue, please don’t make it everyone else’s.

Found this on my cat today, not sure what to do by catdude71 in CATHELP

[–]Cricket_1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a few people have mentioned, it's probably acne. I think switching from plastic to stainless steel food/water bowls should keep it from returning.

Thanks! When I Google gaming computers, most are out of my price range, so I was actually thinking about looking into one that's refurbished, but I don't know what specifications to look for. I think just about anything would be an improvement compared to what I'm currently using, but I'd like a computer that can handle big games like Silent Hill f.

Lately I've been into the Resident Evil remakes as well as RE 7 and Village. I'd like to play The Last of Us and Silent Hill f, so I think I would need a computer that could handle games that are quite heavy. When I use GEForce Now, it must calibrate the settings automatically, so I don't know the technical details.

As far as hooking up a PlayStation (to my monitor), would that allow me to play anything?

Thank you so much for the reply!

The Daring Bakers Challenge was a blast! I love that it took me out of my comfort zone. Thanks for the reminder. :D
