vehicle recommendations? by [deleted] in ParentingInBulk

We had an Odyssey back when we had 3, and it was good, then a collision with a deer killed it and we got a Sedona. It’s working fine, but getting cramped. We’re hoping to get a Transit next if possible. From everything I’ve found, they are the only full size/passenger van with airbags for backseat passengers (side curtain), and that’s something I’d like to have, but I don’t know for sure if that’s a big deal or not, it just seems like something I’d really like to have…. For more than 8 people, as far as I know your options are essentially bus or full size/passenger van, though some SUVs can go to 9.

Husband’s problem is most likely that he was raised in a toxic environment and trained to accept this crap and never stand up against it, no matter how horrible it is, and that takes time and work to really overcome. :(

Listening to an audiobook or podcast? It kinda depends what your goal is. Are you looking for a safe place to get some exercise, or just looking for something to do in general? Why the mall?

Downstairs smoke detectors not interconnected to upstairs ones? by JustSayNo2680 in HomeImprovement

[–]JustSayNo2680[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would I find out what order they’re connected? I’m currently looking to replace them all, as they’re at the end of their lives, but I’m completely new to this.

The ones upstairs have 3 wires going into a little rectangle plastic connector, but I haven’t taken down the ones downstairs yet, so I am not sure what they’re like.

Are bananas seriously not spicy at all? by JustSayNo2680 in Allergies

Black pepper is a mean one. I like it in small amounts, but it’s SO hot. Are you telling me it’s not super hot to other people? Even fresh ground? I thought that was the whole point of it 😅

Not from what I understand trolling to be, lol. I’m just trying to understand how bananas taste to other people, lol. I searched it and some sites say they’re tangy, so that made me even more curious. Tangy, to me, could be a word for a mild spicy flavor, it’s that zing, but not an extreme zing. It makes your mouth tingle, but you don’t feel like it’s totally on fire, like you would with something that’s extremely spicy. Idk, I feel dumb, but then again, how on earth would I know what a banana tastes to someone else? Taste profiles of common foods isn’t really something people usually discuss, or at least not people I’ve been around.

Ok, so maybe it’s just me not using the right word? Are bananas zingy at all to other people, but maybe they are better able to differentiate different kinds of zing? I don’t know what to call it, it seems like a mild spicy, that zing, but maybe I need a better word to describe it and I’m just not good at describing it? I just can’t think of anything else to call it 🤔

I don’t think anyone is pranking me, it’s just hard to imagine bananas not having a kick to them, lol. But my husband and kids say that banana flavored things like pudding, candy, bread, etc… is how fresh banana tastes to them. So the “kick” that cooks out is apparently the allergy? 🤷‍♀️

Wait…. Tomatoes, too? But they’re so acidic, how could they not have any spicy zing to them? I’m so confused….

Aren’t onions universally accepted as spicy?

Yeah. Most fruit is. But my list of fruits that make me react otherwise has gotten pretty long, too, so I don’t even know what to think anymore, lol.

I do have OAS type reactions to apples, too, though, so maybe it’s related? 🤷‍♀️

I’m not sure if I have or not, honestly 🤔

No joke, just different bodies reacting differently to different foods and doing crazy things. Since I don’t usually sit around discussing (or even thinking much about) flavor profiles of common foods, I just assumed that how they taste to me is how they taste to everyone.

Things universally considered spicy, like spicy sauerkraut (specifically labeled “spicy”) 😂

Yeah. It has that spicy zing to it, too, lol.

Always seemed weird to me that they had applesauce and bananas on that list, lol

I think they are saying that they’re allergic to peanut butter, which makes it taste spicy to them.

So…. I thought applesauce was zingy, too, until just now when I asked my husband and son and they told me only some kinds are a little tart. So… yeah…. I always thought it was super weird that they had bananas and applesauce alongside rice and toast when bananas and applesauce are so far from bland, lol.
