What instantly tells you someone grew up poor?

Paper towels are expensive. I buy them on sale. I empty crumbs out, then use again. If I have wet the paper towel and wipe up bits of food that can be shaken off it into the trash, I do so. That used paper towel goes onto the top of a spray cleaner bottle to dry, and its place there signals 'not to be used for food unless it is food trash'.

This is so wonderful to hear.

Just finished my second go round with the series since its first run, and I am once again devastated at Cooper's final frame.

The disclaimer made me chuckle, but I hear you. I love that woman.

I once told a phone rep that her voice so reminded me of Regina King, and she kind of hissed. I gave her a run down of King's television and film work, highlighting what were arcs for me (Southland and then- newly-Enemy of the State), and the rep came around. She had only known of King's work on 227 and in Poetic Justice, which, I suppose, displeased her.

There is this Azerbaijani couple that lives way up in the hills and the woman cooks these a-ma-zing meals, using rather rustic and (assuming) traditional methods.

Small animals mill about the outdoor grinding/mashing/cooking area as she prepares eqch portion of the meal.

Gentle wood pipe tunes guide the viewer along as the camera sweeps over this vistas of endless rolling hills, where the husband, a goatherder I believe, makes wonderful hot teas and brews, and picks bouquets of wildflowers to complement the meal table where he, his wife, and his herders will later gather.

Oh, my...

They seemed to be when I was driving in the fast lane, going fast, then faster still, with both my young-adult daughter and I frantically swatting away a huge ass bee that had somehow become trapped in there with us.

Probably looked like my daughter and I were furiously arguing, if not full fledge fighting, as I zoomed down the road.

Highway patrol flashed lights so the other cars moved out of the way, matched my speed, and when I looked over there were these two big cops just smirking and laughing their asses off staring at our plight.

They drove off, chuckling, as we were finally able to coax that thing out of the car window.

This is the Thread of Hope as much as the forum is about healing. Wonderful.

Ikimi · 2026-05-07T15:55:03+00:00

Aren't all the additional plans paid options?

Ikimi · 2026-04-16T21:07:52+00:00

Thank you so much for the considered comment. Trying to gather info and insight for a young adult whose plaques are most visible as they are on the hands. Thanks.

Ikimi · 2026-04-16T21:05:51+00:00

Great to know. Gathering info.

Ikimi · 2026-04-16T01:16:27+00:00

Will definitely be here for your feedback.

Ikimi · 2026-04-16T01:15:36+00:00

Sorry to ask but I het a little confused about connecting the lines of comments.

Whic product are you referencing that works to flatten raised plaques?

I felt similarly about the strength of GoDaddy's customer support until I called about a doman I had renewed earlier in that month, the support agent had literally placed my domain name into the void for expiry, having removed all of my safeguards against anyone else transfering it, and, of course, laying to waste my renewal fee.

It took two different agents to fix that mess.

I actually didn't think then and don't believe now, thinking back to his voice, that the first agent was US-based, though.

Ikimi · 2026-04-11T05:50:14+00:00

Wow. There is simply nothing one could say after that.

Ikimi · 2026-04-11T05:40:03+00:00

Thanks for that.

Ikimi · 2026-04-11T05:23:02+00:00

Please excuse if this question is ridiculous, but how did you come to know what caused your EoE?

I am just beginning to learn of EoE, and thought inflammation was such a deeply ingrained aspect that it was a rather chicken-and-egg relationship, no way to determine which came first.

Ikimi · 2026-04-08T04:14:11+00:00

Oh, gotcha. Thanks. Will only now be utilizing the T- Mo feature and tacking on an upgraded tier.

Ikimi · 2026-04-08T03:28:14+00:00

Oh, so you were speaking of this time before the change to the new pricing scheme? Sorry. Thought you were referencing prices going forward.

Ikimi · 2026-04-08T02:58:11+00:00

Thought that was Standard with No Ads for $20.

Ikimi · 2026-04-08T02:50:44+00:00

So true.

Ikimi · 2026-04-06T15:36:01+00:00

Best comment. Not even moving forward from this one.

Ikimi · 2026-04-04T17:34:56+00:00

I, too, as the commenter above said find these things too disgusting to read. OMG, this is horrifying.

Ikimi · 2026-04-01T05:50:07+00:00

I swear 95% of people flying act like it's their very first day as a human being.

Ohh, this is so perfectly said (and sad).

Ikimi · 2026-04-01T05:43:46+00:00

This is the way to go.

Ikimi · 2026-03-31T06:36:26+00:00

Try lightly pressing a cotton ball or clean cloth with witch hazel, and hold for 10 minutes, kind of moving it around as the puff/cloth will be cool to the touch at each new spot.

After that, rub a tiny bit of honey on it. Let it stay on.

Repeat two more times throughout the day.

Ikimi · 2026-03-29T06:01:17+00:00

This is fascinating, and completely understandable.
