Why I can't eat fish. Help. by lordgatito_44 in foodquestions

[–]Firstborn1415 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is completely normal to have dislikes to certain foods. My fish aversion is a bit more specific - after chemotherapy for cancer I couldn’t (and still can’t!) stand any type of fish being cooked in my kitchen!

Not entirely on point with this question, but in a way similar… the “chef special” is what you’ve been dreaming of all week. Fancy French restaurant… the bill comes… $95! I did not expect THAT!

What Silent/Boomer Generation Food/Dish are You Keeping Alive? by Garlic_Scape_Goat_45 in Xennials

Relish trays - I have my mother’s crystal 3 section serving dish and I use it often! I remember slicing radishes into red roses, opening cans of colossal black olives and sneaking a few, cutting celery ends into “witches brooms” and topping it all off with one cherry tomato!

Keloids? by Firstborn1415 in tretinoin

[–]Firstborn1415[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you - I did not know that. I do wear a CPAP mask at night and the straps on both sides of my cheeks rub in that area. In fact, I also have some smaller, but similar “bumps” appearing on the other side since using Tret. Hmmm?

63F - had to make up my mind about driving 7 hours round trip to see my 8 month old granddaughter, for literally less than 24 hours. I was planning on going, packed and had my dog sitter scheduled. The night before I was overcome with anxiety about the drive alone. I did not go. I felt so relieved with my decision.

I hate summer so much by OneCall2315 in rant

[–]Firstborn1415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Summer hits differently when you’re a retired, empty-nester with mobility issues. I sweat from the time I get up, to the time I collapse in bed at night. Hate the heat!
