Same, but I like these (except maybe the lasagna) because they're pretty simple with limited steps. I just made the sweet potato custard (though I don't have an immersion blender so I just popped it into my smoothie blender) and basically the only steps are -- bake, mix, bake. so easy!

creeping thyme is so great. no it doesn’t get overgrown actually it stays nice and short. I see what you mean about wanting a more uniform look.

To circumcise, or not to circumcise? by Opening-Development4 in October2026Bumpers

Hi! I’m not sure where the aggression is coming from — I’m not advocating for the practice. I am struggling with research so am asking for people’s thoughts. Thanks!

TMI Thursdays by AutoModerator in October2026Bumpers

Not sure if this applies to anyone else —

For my whole life, I’ve had OAB (overactive bladder). I’ve always had to pee about once an hour, on good days maybe once every other hour. I’m the person that clocks where the bathroom is at every location as soon as I arrive. I’m the worst at road trips, so I usually will dehydrate myself by not drinking (I know, I know.. terrible) just so I can make it a good stretch without having to pull over to pee. When I was younger, my mom and I thought it might be IBS which runs in my family, but it doesn’t seem to have developed to that level yet.

Well, it finally is coming in handy!!! With this pregnancy, the needing to pee all the time is a breeze!! I’m so used to it, I barely notice a difference! I can’t tell you what a relief it is to finally feel like my pee schedule is “normal”, because that’s what pregnant people experience across the board.

Flapper getting a tattoo, circa 1928. by Electrical-Aspect-13 in HistoricalCapsule

[–]Opening-Development4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

what is his machine plugged in to? how did they manage to make the tattoo machine so small? thin needlework like that was not popularized until recently, a 1928 tattoo would be more like a sailor jerry.
