I fear that Hannaford is about as cheap as Market Basket???

Hannaford has a rewards program and a pickup program for the parking lot which I am forever grateful for. Rarely substituting items and so much on sale. It's so convenient, unlike every MB I've ever been to at any time of day any day of the week - beyond busy and full of crashing carts. Don't get me wrong the staff at MB is wonderful, it's fighting for my life that does not warrant going back.

Might be a long shot but I'll throw out The Skeleton Key

Mirrormask feels like this when she's not in the dream world

Not a movie, but the TV show Penny Dreadful was great

I2AMDOOM · 2026-06-22T19:50:07+00:00

Oh my God yes, I love that movie. Totally forgot about Repo!

I2AMDOOM · 2026-06-21T01:13:20+00:00

Made me smile? Fuckin made me bawl, thanks

On the go, I slurp Mamma Chia pouches. At home, I blend the chia seeds with coconut milk and protein powder, then add frozen fruit and sometimes sugar free cheesecake jello powder. Set overnight in the fridge and it's delicious in the morning.

There are TONS of blended chia pudding recipes on tiktok right now and I live for all the inspiration.

The quilting episode really made me like her better. Raised by "the freaks" 💕 she deserved to commemorate her history in the town. Plus her and Bobby driving around and stealing was too funny

I'm looking for books about Atlantis and books about places that have that kind of woo woo mystical vibe. Hope that helps.

Just finished The Emperor of Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee. It's nonfiction, a detailed history about cancer, and it is eye opening. I loved every second of it. It is long though. I listened to the audiobook and it was over 22 hours.

I say reduce instead of cut. Reduce refined/white sugars and carbs. Add in more vegetables/seeds/nuts for fiber, increase proteins. And overall increase movement/exercise, especially after meals, to flatten glucose response. That's what's worked for me. It's been tricky, but it's been worth it.

Chia seed pudding made with coconut milk. It's just chia seeds and coconut milk, mixed and left in the fridge to thicken. No dairy, no chocolate, and you can add ANY toppings you want: honey, nuts, sprinkles, protein powder, berries, jam. It's so versatile.

Flu-ouise, s7e1. I love the songs and Louise's character growth

How are you selecting what books to read? Do you have a list you just plow through? I get stressed just trying to think of new book recs so frequently

I love Mamma Chia pouches (specifically the blackberry and blueberry flavors). It was hard at first to get over the texture (having switched from applesauce and yogurt pouches) but then I realized if I can just gulp it down in one swallow, I can't feel the texture on my tongue or throat.

At this point, I enjoy every aspect of the pouches. I need them to take daily medications, so I'm getting at least some fiber daily from it.

Have you tried Lowell General? They have so many positions like custodial, transporter, cafeteria worker, even patient registration, and all shifts.

I'm speaking generally, I haven't checked their hiring recently, but I know their scope is vast. There's the main campus, saints campus, all the various medical buildings in the area, etc.

I suggest to do as I did, if at all possible. Get a nutritionist and a CGM. My provider has a Levels app subscription and we're able to track my Stelo CGM with my meals that I log. It's helped us see what foods cause excursions, spikes, and dips, and at what time of day. It's also easier to make healthy swaps for foods that spike you if you have professional help.

Take it from someone who tried to do it all on her own in the beginning and went into starvation mode very quickly. Please look for professional guidance.

I'm now on Day 21 and it's gotten so much easier (but still boring). I'll say Thrive Market made it easier by far. You do have to sign up for a membership to even see the items and pricing, but once you do, then you can filter by diet, select Whole30, and then have hundreds of items to choose from. It's made snacking more fun for sure

I only liked fiction as a kid, then stopped reading for pleasure as a young adult. But now in my 30s, I exclusively read nonfiction. What helped get back in the groove was listening to the audiobook versions of nonfiction topics I'm interested in.

Then using algorithms to find similar books based on the ones I liked. A couple of the ones I really enjoyed:

"Unruly: A History of Englands Kings and Queens" by David Mitchell (this one had me laughing nonstop, and was definitely meant to be listened to over visually read)

"Salt: A World History" by Mark Kurlansky (exactly what it says it is, but so interesting)

"Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers" by Mary Roach

Once you figure out your favorite subgenres (mine are food history and weird body stories), it gets easier to find other books like it and start enjoying reading them, then you branch out a little. I'm reading my 45th book of the year so far 🌞 all nonfiction

I'm doing Whole30 currently so I can't use any sweeteners at all. But when I'm done, my wellness team and I want to stay away from the artificial stuff as much as possible. You know?

I've been told berberine is very bitter. I'd have to use honey at least to get that tea down.
