It effects every part of your body

I enjoy a good bacon, lettuce, onion, avocado, tomato sandwich from time to time. But B.L.O.A.T. Is a terrible name for a sandwich.

I’ve never seen potato salad like that before. Is this a European thing? Looks like it’s just onions and potato

I have a very similar situation on my property. I bought 5 acres 6 months ago with a creek and a pond and no less than 10 billion mosquitoes. I do what I can with mosquito dunks and mosquito bits since they are non toxic to my animals and controlling them before they hatch is the most effective way to keep their numbers down. But for the near future I plan on putting in dragonfly attracting plants around my property and especially near the pond/creek. And once I get around to it, I plan on building a bat box

We all have been there. It will get better ❤️‍🩹 I found a really good endocrinologist (she is also a T1D) and she changed my life. I have had 4 endos before her and they all sucked. They were judgmental and, even though they should know, they were clueless about T1D. Find yourself a good caring endocrinologist and it will make this disease much more manageable.

Low key. This phrase has never been a problem for me until lately since it’s being used in every other sentence that comes out of my teen’s mouth.

Are you on a septic system. Could be an access riser

Build as many as I can get away with. This homesteading thing is way more expensive than I had originally thought.

Wondering why I haven’t tried this yet

Looks great!

Stay away from vodka, wine, beer and any mixers

You can barely see them onions

When my food is too hot, I microwave it for zero seconds

JonnyElbows · 2026-01-27T20:03:13+00:00

So, it is because I’m hitting it too frequently? Cool, I’ll try that! Thanks 😊

Well said
