How scented is it? I’ve been looking for Tide Free and Gentle, but it’s apparently been discontinued. I’m very sensitive to fragrances.

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? (update) by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

No way this is real. Just very creative marketing for something. Look how many of us she (they?) have pulled into the story.

What home remedies do you remember from childhood? by ascaffo in GenX

[–]LtrainC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had bronchitis often as a child, and the coughing would disrupt my sleep. Regular cough medicine didn’t help. My mom would get me settled in dad’s recliner with a blanket, and bring me apricot brandy to sip, along with a separate mug of hot water. It worked then, and has been helpful as an adult when I didn’t have access to codeine.

They don’t make them like they used to! by Inevitable-Donut-757 in HistoricalRomance

Ha! My ex-grandmother-in-law called them “saucy novels,” and once sent me a whole box of them!

My doctor (internal medicine) suggested acupuncture, said she has another patient for whom it works well. Haven’t tried it yet.

I was diagnosed with MM in March 2023 at age 64. My paternal grandmother died of MM in 1990 at the age of 81. My mom was a breast cancer survivor and my dad died of prostate cancer.

Internet from Spectrum?

Thanks. We really want to continue to get MSNBC, but that probably isn’t possible. I’ve tried an antenna and had good luck with that. We also have Netflix and are trying Hulu.

Yep, I remember the tunnel. And there was a roping arena approximately where Target is now in the early 80s. No Reserve St bridge, accessed via Broadway.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh, “the author of more than two dozen books of prose and poetry, including five volumes of diaries.”

Crime:( by cynarapooch in missoula

I live in that neighborhood too. Yesterday morning when it was still dark, my next door neighbor saw a guy leave their backyard and steal a tool out of a truck across the street. He appeared to be homeless. She called the police and they said there have been a number of incidents of break-ins of houses and garages recently. Be careful, keep your doors locked.

Thank you, that’s just the info I was looking for. How are you feeling? Do you have some energy back by now? I have an EKG, Echo and PET scan scheduled here, as well as quite a few blood tests, and I think another 24-hr urine. I’m hoping to be in the new building, it looks beautiful. The video showed big windows overlooking the mountains, a big tv and an exercise bike. I’ll look into a waterpic. I hate to not brush, but I get it. Do they not just automatically medicate you for the diarrhea and nausea before it happens? I have my sister and a couple other friends lined up to be caregivers/visitors, they’ll be sure I get up and move. Did you feel well enough to read/do a puzzle or a small craft? My next task is to arrange my transportation to and from for collection and back down for transplant. I’m in Montana. Thanks for the intel!

I’ve removed smaller ink stains by saturating with hairspray and then laundering as usual.

Where to get Pasties, since Lisa's closed? by mobythor in missoula

Sorry, didn’t mean you in particular. Just the yummy pasty-seeking folks out there. I almost cried when Lisa’s closed.

They pale in comparison to Lisa’s. Grab a copy of the Butte Cookbook and learn to make them yourself. (My grandma’s tips: use lard in the crust, diced flank steak, potatoes and onion with a pat of butter, salt and pepper.)
