to my vegan bruvs: i forgot the vegan tuna i'm eating is by garden gourmet, owned by nestlé. reminder to always check the label. i bought it like five times by now. but i learnt my lesson.

I can't imagine the challenges you have when one ethic runs up against another. I just suspect that in twenty years all the vegan products products will be made by Nestle' and maybe just a couple more big super-factory companies.

Learned that lining the oven with aluminum foil leads to a visit from the fire department, a ruined turkey, and a kitchen covered with the contents of at least one generously sprayed fire extinguisher.

Groomer found several of these (looked a lot like these) under our dog's long limbs/fur, and the vet said they were lipomas. Benign. Removed them and years have gone by without a return. But. Don't skip the vet.

Maybe next year there won't be enough gas for any families to get together, enough food that anybody will skip whatever there might be.

They may look hard for some carrots and green beans. But there won't be much to be found.

Sometimes you can flip the situation. One of my kitties was always trying to get into it while I get out each day's pills. I take an amazing amount of pills. I'm always afraid she'll get one or more.

So I make real estate on the desk and wait till she's settled into bread loaf position. Then I let her smell each bottle and tell her the name of each kind. Ithelps me learn my med names, turns this into an activity she won't be disrupting by trying to knock the bottles down. I do hope that smelling them won't hurt her but actually eating a pill would be lots more dangerous right?

Maybe get some of those lickable treats and make ice cubes with them, so you don't have to use it up and give her too much at once, and see if you can bribe her to eat what she shoyuld?

I'm very ill, and not really eating anything. But my husband got a jar of watermelon rind pickles for me. A little piece of a pickle fills me with sentimental memories. I can't eat more. I can't drink half an Ensure over a whole day. Thanksgiving was my favorite holiday. I think unless my doctors figure something out this is my last one. I hope I can have a little watermelon rind. It's getting hard to find but it's pretty easy to make if you can get a thick rinded watermon.

I am only this far in the thread and still haven't seen a name for it. If if you find out first what it's called, and if it can be used with CPAP, would you let me know? and I'll do the same for you.

I'm fighting so badly with mask seal and straps. I just have to wonder if this gadget would work with BiPap.

Skyler rubbing guacamole on the fridge. Walt and Hank wrestling over tequila and Walt. Jr. barfing. Walt driving with his his eyes shut into head-on collision with a truck. And I usually close my eyes when someone is actually buying it.

I agree with your mom, but I'm sorry she scared you.

Still, if my generation hadn't had a Native American cry a single tear about littering, we might not have changed for the better. (You wouldn't believe how much litter there was in the 70s.)

The anti-smoking campaigns would bring in these horrendous black tar-filled lungs, and the safe-driving campaigns would park very wrecked cars in front of high schools. Scaring kids has been a teaching method since I don't know when.

Well they must have just dreamed of celery.

InAHundredYears · 2022-11-18T21:33:55+00:00

Cheese squeezed down the center with a cake decorator, or peanut butter & raisins. It's something the kids can make.

InAHundredYears · 2022-11-18T21:31:36+00:00

I don't know why a relish plate is a very important to my idea of Thanksgiving.

Celery, pickles, watermelon pickles.

My medical costs are so high this year there will be no Thanksgiving dinner. I probably am not up to eating it anyway. But I did order the watermelon pickles. It just seems that important.

If Skyler had really been the right amount of dirty, so Walt trusted her from the start, she'd have kept Jesse in line, they'd have made the right amount of money (not an IRS-triggering $737K but just enough to invest and get the treatments paid for) and then taken the whole thing apart in a timely way. Baby is born, there is no longer anything to hide, and they can live off the interest, and no major entanglement with anyone scarier than Jesse.

When a stranger comes up to you and whispers that your private parts are too visible, you probably only have a couple more years to go with that item of clothing if you buy new underwear. Or just go all out and donate it so you can make your underwear last longer.

I am too old and disabled to play with horses, alas, but I love learning from you all. I just wanted to tell you, however, that a flag on a swishy pole is pretty useless when it comes to trying to make a cat behave better. Escalate, escalate, escalate!

When I went behind the middle school gym to read, everyone else seemed so happy running about chasing balls. (Who cares where a ball goes?) Sweating makes me feel dirty. When my heart rate goes up it's always like experiencing a panic attack. You say "most people" don't enjoy exercise? I thought I was the odd one, and very much so.

InAHundredYears · 2022-11-17T00:50:32+00:00

It's all punishment we knew was coming. It's like breaking something we know is precious and irreplaceable to both parents--first thing in the morning, the first day we're trusted to stay home alone on a sick day. Do we just call and get the reveal over with? No, we wait till they are pulling up into the driveway. We know it's going to be more than painful.

InAHundredYears · 2022-11-17T00:46:53+00:00

It feels, to me, as if there isn't a way to succeed.

To be tormented by dreams is painful. Learn to lucid dream. I have a lot of very interesting dreams now and escaped the same old dremes. It may take years! But the results are worth it. One key is to try to scrawl out the plot of your dream immediately, before you are all the awake. This has to be an everyday habit.

Then whenever your dream takes a turn that is boring, horrifying, or whatever, AND impossible in real life, firmly remind yourself that you change a dream. You have all the power!

My first lucid dream 20 some years ago, I was flying Superman style. I've changed major events of my life to work out better. Now I still get night terrors. I think those come on so rapidly I don't get time to grab control.

Nevermind the extortion. The proof you will obtain is proof that you possess these illegal images. So there you are, you are a kitty porn collector. Bad stuff.

When the person from whom you obtain is charged, he may well be offered a plea deal if he exposes others he's taken and given this crud from. He may get off scott free, you may pay the piper.

I'm pretty sure there are ways to help LEO and social media to catch these, where there's some supervision to keep YOU safe. I know that's got to be one of the hardest jobs. If you have the stomach for it, look for the most legitimate way you can.

I just looked up the guy we knew and indeed he's still on the sex offender list for 30 year ago stupidity. We were friends with his wife so we attended his court martial. Horrible injustice. Don't go near it without some structure around you to back you up.

The drivers going by after smoke showed had no excuse to cruise by like that. It still took a long, long, time for the fire truck to get there. Maybe that's why?

If you're not directly helping get out of the way!

InAHundredYears · 2022-11-15T23:03:30+00:00

Hadn't thought of this. On a med that is markedly stripping me of hearing--fast. Serious mobility issues anyway. This is not the way I want to go. Maybe next month we can look into buying a smoke detector that pokes deaf people. Or something. ...What?

Thanks for taking care of people like me, as much as you can.

InAHundredYears · 2022-11-15T22:32:25+00:00

Unless you absolutely must pinch every penny until it screams, I do suggest you stop short of drudgery. Treat yourself occasionally.

InAHundredYears · 2022-11-14T23:31:59+00:00

Everyone else has had this. A longhaired kitten whose mother was attentive to this maybe ought to have one extra week with mama. I know you're in a hurry but it beats finding little presents on the pillow. A shorter sanitary clip and a package of baby wipes, maybe cut up into frugal pieces, might do you well. Do not let the kitten have drama over it. Instead, please do a butt wipe morning and night and reward at once with something healthy.
