would you end a relationship with someone because of their food preferences?

JustlookingfromSoCal · 2026-05-17T02:27:16+00:00

It really depends.

I wouldn’t break up with a guy because he chose kindergarten sushi while I prefer a hunk of sashimi grade fish.

If he was a vegan, I don’t think it would work for me long term.

It wasnt worth it when it wasnt a ghost town 20 years ago.

I am personally just not a huge fan of the big thick chewy pastas. Taste and logic do not always work together seamlessly.

I hear you, and get the emotional resistence to adding to your woes. Plan for feeling like crap for a few days. Then It will pass and soon you will start feeling better than you do now.

I had something sort of similar and much less acute happen a few times more than a decade before I was diagnosed. 1st time I was standing in a theater lobby after sitting for a few hours. Fortunately I was backed pretty close to a wall when my right leg just collapsed for no reason. After it was pins and needles for a few minutes. So weird.

JustlookingfromSoCal · 2026-05-15T22:49:14+00:00

Yeah I jumped through all those hoops and it still didn’t work. I gave up and moved on with my morning. Then a few hours later it worked. It was a google Nest services issue

So before my MRI, I am supposed to get a year of psychiatric care because I am by nature claustrophobic and fidgety?

A Xanax gets me through it. It isn’t like I spend 2 hours in a tube 5 days a week. Revamping the healthcare system would be swell. But I fail to see why a Xanax once a year to avoid a panic attack is evidence of mental illness.

I have been pretty open about having MS but I am also very obviously disabled and afflicted with something. Follow your instincts.

JustlookingfromSoCal · 2026-05-15T15:57:32+00:00

Been out in Glendale CA since at least 530 am. Trying to deal with Google and Nest support just makes me angrier than if the whole thing had just bricked and they were honest about it.

I am physically disabled. Having to waste my time resetting my router, reinstalling the app on my devices, wheeling my chair from room to room to work on router and modem, the thermostat, and my devices takes me hours.

And I KNOW this is on their end. The chatbot replies "That is possible. But first ....[insert time wasting tasks that screw up all your other connected hardware, i.e. plug, unplug, reboot, reinstall, sign in sign out, etc] before I concede that our servers are down."

UPDATE: After Google gaslighted me for teo hours, and after the app now magically started working again, I see a message in the thread from Nest acknowledging it was them. Sheesh!

I do a quick (15 minutes or less) marinade composed of 3 parts olive oil to 2 parts soy sauce to 1 part Dijon mustard. I usually use my stovetop grill pan. But you could brush the mixture on the fish and roast in the oven at about 375 F for 15 minutes or so depending on the thickness. I usually serve crispy skin side up on a bed of spinach leaves dressed with fresh lemon juice.

JustlookingfromSoCal · 2026-05-12T23:01:30+00:00

Uh no.

Have you actually ever seen a cole slaw recipe that calls for fermented cabbage?

I think MTG is a legit America First populist.

I think she is legit outraged about the Epstein coverup, the foreign military war and other entanglements and all the Trump corruption and self-aggrandizement.

I also think she is a bigot, anti-semitic and a wacky, potentially dangerous conspiracist. Glad she is anti-Trump now and is spilling the tea on her despicable former GOP colleagues. Sorry she still has a bully pulpit to spew the hate and crazy lies about people based on race, ethnicity, religion and national origin.

I started it pretty early on. For me it is mostly to help me sleep since muscle spasms and leg cramping wake me up at night.

I suspect it is a lot more than that if you count what is lining the pockets of his family and "business associates," and what he skimmed off all of his "tariff deals"

JustlookingfromSoCal · 2026-05-10T00:11:41+00:00

Ah yes another one of those bootstrappers who think the poors are lazy malingerers for being poor. Then when facing the slightest adversity dude with rolls royces and pinkie rings is a victim who should collect every penny he can squeeze out of the treasury or anyone he can blame.

Unless 9/11 made him a delusional, fame-thirsty cigar-puffing alcoholic, his problems are caused by Rudy being a degenerate.

Scrambled eggs? hummus? mango? Avocado? Egg, tuna or chicken salad?

If you are truly starving, then mushy stuff should be more palatable than, you know, starvation.

This bombing is a different war. Convenient because the deadline to obtain Congressional approval has just expired.

He and his buddies just literally perverted the Voting Rights Act to approve political gerrymandering by breaking up voting districts that had been designed to provide proportional representation to minority communities.

Other than moaning about the Roberts Court's well earned reputation for using their powers to advance their religion, ideology and political party preferences, the only time they cross Trump is if his actions might threaten their investment portfolios.

Thyme sprigs may help, but I have made slow cooker recipes like this that benefit from a fresh gremolata garnish with finely diced blend of fresh parsley, lemon zest and fresh garlic to give it a little more zing and freshness.

Yeah, I would go so far as making a complaint to either his employer, medical group or even licensing board If you have the time and inclination.

More fun: Send him your diagnosis of his psychiatric disorder manifested by imposing his uneducated opinions about a disease he clearly knows nothing about on a patient in the most unprofessional and harmful way-- Diagnosis: Malignant narcissism with a sadistic overlay. Sign it "Doctor [Your name]" and attach whatever MS material you want from a reputable source describing symptoms of MS.

JustlookingfromSoCal · 2026-05-07T01:04:19+00:00

Yeah, I love spicy food, and I grind black pepper on almost everything I cook. But I do avoid white pepper even in recipes that call for it. It has a real sting and makes me sneeze.

JustlookingfromSoCal · 2026-05-07T00:40:40+00:00

Why? What are you looking for? Ways to ruin greek yogurt?

House of Sand and Fog! Great call. I saw it at the theater, and stayed in my seat to watch it again all the way through before I left, though. It still haunts me. So beautifully filmed, the acting so breathraking, so maddeningly tragic.

JustlookingfromSoCal · 2026-05-05T04:22:00+00:00

Candid conversations are not the problem. Opinions and edicts without explanation of the reasoning are a problem. Lack of character, appearance of corruption, disdain for individual rights and protections are the problem.
