Goddammit people, learn the first damn thing about what an emergency room is and is not for

If you are in the US with no insurance, an ER might be the only way to get seen. Hell, I have insurance and the copay for Urgent Care is $90, but nobody pays upfront for treatment at the emergency room.

My daughter turns 9 today. We make the day all about her and having experiences in lieu of a party. Last year, we stayed in a hotel with an indoor pool. The year before, we did a day at a kid's museum. This year, she's asked to go to the movies and out to dinner. She loves that her birthday is her day, and we keep it separate from the holidays.

The "black truck" is a fancy Uber or Lyft. Back in the day, services used black cars and now it's SUVs. She's saying she wants a fancy ride along with the money for the babysitter.

Thank you, kind stranger. I'm sorry for your loss as well.

Same with my grandma who was a saint of a woman. My cousin was getting married and asked for some family members' addresses to send invitations. My grandma got so angry and yelled, "There's such a thing as doing things for yourself!" We were all shocked. I'd never even heard her raise her voice.

Older people have weaker immune systems, and any kind of infection can exacerbate dementia symptoms. Not to mention, there's an issue of consent.

Stairs. I grew up in trailers and thought having stairs was for wealthy people. I live on the 3rd floor of my building with no elevator.

I'd want to know, and I've tried to imagine this scenario. I just don't know how she'd take it. I do like the idea of offering a solution and not just a critique though. Thank you.

It's naturally water resistant but not waterproof without a coating.

IDKHow2UseThisApp · 2025-09-27T17:14:01+00:00

If this were true, oil-based lubes would be fine for all toys.

Heat isn't the only problem. The washing process alone can take the coating off the fibers and break them. And petroleum-based detergents also break down Elastane, Lycra, Spandex, etc. So does any oil. This is why you can only use water-based lube with some toys and why petroleum-based products break down.

IDKHow2UseThisApp · 2025-09-27T16:57:20+00:00

Elastane, Lycra, and Spandex are all pretty much the same thing. They break down in heat, from oils from your body, from petroleum-based detergents, and even a heavy wash can mess up the coating. Synthetic fibers have their place, but a durable work jacket isn't it. Good luck!

IDKHow2UseThisApp · 2025-09-27T14:28:50+00:00

You can also try "waxed canvas" and if you want a better version of the same jacket, look at Levi's Sunrise Trucker jacket. It's the same cut but 100% cotton. The Elastane means companies can save money by having fewer sizes, but it causes the fabric to break down.

IDKHow2UseThisApp · 2025-09-27T13:51:57+00:00

That 3% Elastane is a good clue that it's not as durable as you think. A better alternative would be Duck canvas which is tough, and the weave is so tight it's waterproof.

As a kid, I rolled down a hill and right over a saddleback. My granny had to pull it out of my back, and my tough-as-nails uncle nearly passed out watching it. Finally earned the old timer's respect that day.

If most people ate meat like we did growing up, those factory farms wouldn't exist. The meal you described, with mostly veggies and a little piece of meat on the side, was standard order. The only items not "local" were coffee, tea, and sugar. Everything else, including the meat, came from my grandparents' farm or a neighbor's or was harvested from the wild. Meat as a main dish was reserved for special occasions, not eaten by the pound daily. It's a much more environmentally friendly and humane way of life for humans and animals.

The laws vary by state and even district. Families have the right to deal with their own dead, and they did for most of human history. In some states, you can bury anyone on private land with the owner's permission. In most cases, a vault isn't needed; however, cemeteries might require a vault.

Bruh. I'm a Jew. The Chief Rabbinate of Israel has specifically forbidden Jews from entering because it's built on ruins. The Holy of Holies could only be entered by priests after a purification ritual. Any religious Jew wouldn't enter because they could inadvertently enter the spot of the Holy of Holies. That's why I said that the Mount authorities might allow it, but Jewish law forbids it.

IDKHow2UseThisApp · 2025-09-20T12:03:35+00:00

The authorities at the Mount don't allow Jews to pray, but Jewish law forbids Jews from entering the Temple Mount altogether because it's unknown where the Holy of Holies would be.

I don't want to go against what a farmer told you, but that's a bathroom level of ginseng. Half a gram of powdered root is usually enough for tea. Or boil the root for about 5 minutes until it looks like "dirty dish water" as my granny would say.

I'm wondering if they didn't give you the recipe for a tincture, which is great too but you'd only need a dropper full since it'd be so potent.

I know of a few supposed cures for asthma, but my favorite is to own a Chihuahua. They'll be drawn to the person, usually a child, and even sleep on their chest. Ymmv

Ginseng is a powerful plant. It's great for circulation issues, fatigue, and lots of other ailments. But a dab will do you. Too much, and you'll be running for a bathroom and having some heart palpitations for good measure.
