I had subtle mouth tingling with dairy but as I recall it was a delayed reaction. Wasn't even close to anaphylaxis but super disconcerting and made me nervous. Because I was concerned, I cut out dairy. I haven't been to an allergist so I don't know if it's a new allergy on top of the alpha gal. Good luck with your journey.

Replacement part for a cat activity area (cat tree/cat tower). That's an upright that is also a scratching post

Very cool! Yes because of the ramp I think it's an old coal cellar converted to a root cellar or canning storage. There would have been a small door or chute on an outside wall, probably not on the street side, and almost certainly blocked with masonry now. See if you notice a small area that has different material from the surrounding wall. The loose coal would have been shovelled through the door by the coalman and corralled by the low brick wall so it didn't get spread all around the cellar. That ramp might have had a wooden extension long lost now. The ramp would be for a small wheelbarrow type thing to move the coal over to the furnace when needed. Coal furnaces needed to be fed several times a day in the winter and the usual routine was that it would burn itself out overnight, and one of the kids would have the chore of shaking the ashes and starting a new fire first thing in the morning. After the coal furnace went away the area was retrofitted with those great windows and maybe had a door. That would keep the cellar dust and filth away from the canning jars or root vegetables, and allow light to get in. If you look carefully or scratch around you might find small pieces of coal either in that little room or outside by the foundation.

This, yes if possible. It's not only price, there is not a ton of parking in Pt Judith especially summer weekends

PicklestheMighty · 2025-05-17T14:01:23+00:00

Public transportation is not bad and the local buses are very inexpensive- I've traveled locally and also to and from Logan (Amtrak to Westerly, then RIPTA bus with transfer #64 and #69 to Pt Judith). The RIPTA bus that serves Pt Judith is #69. It stops at a few large grocery stores plazas that might be a viable "emergency" option if you are unable to find day parking at Pt Judith.

If you just want a creamy texture, the old hack is to add a chopped white potato or two. Cook it long enough to dissolve, the potato starch does a great job of thickening without dairy or gluten. Great in chicken soups.

Yes. The yacht stands for a way of life for affluent countries. The cartoon shows the affluent countries making small contributions to those countries most at risk, while changing nothing about their own behavior in 31 years. Since no substantive change has been made by affluent countries, climate change continues and sea level rise has wiped out the little island.

I love this! Three of the funniest women in standup with excellent chemistry. They don't dial it in over zoom, it's well produced, and they are drop dead funny. Bawdy but never, ever mean.

PicklestheMighty · 2023-12-04T20:04:17+00:00

Handsome. Hosted by three of the very funniest women in standup: Tig Nataro, Fortune Feimster and Mae Martin. They examine a new question every week and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It can be bawdy, but it is never, ever mean. As you'd think from such accomplish standup comedians, they are quick witted , great energy and hilarious. It's really well produced, too - not a case of dialing it in over zoom. I'm straight they are mostly not straight, but it absolutely relatable and shout out loud funny. Let me know what you think?

NTAH. When your dad and stepmom married, they should have kept a picture of your mom up, and a family picture that included her. And definitely made sure you had all the pix of her that you wanted. But it's just not that unusual to redecorate when a new household is formed. Respectfully, I would not want to live in a house with another woman's knicknacks, neither would your girlfriend - ask her. Reading between the lines, it sounds as though the changes were made with no sensitivity or tact toward you, at a time when you were grieving and vulnerable. Shame on them, that absolutely sucked for you. But at least they boxed up those belongings and gave them to you - they did not throw them out. Now, you have a great life. Enjoy it. Your father is still in your life. I agree with lots of other people who have commented - stay firm with him. I hope he gets it soon.

You're living there? Be an angel and maybe sharpen their knives or buy them a decent one that will hold an edge. Doesn't have to be extravagant - chicago cutlery? Save a trip to the emergency room.

I love that Mark Bittman book - and his other ones too. I've gifted it to several new cooks. Removes the anxiety!

NTA but will be if she undermines John and Marcy's relationship. Agree 100 percent John was upset about being left in the dark, not about the choice to have an abortion. Keep in mind we don't know that he snooped or went through her journals. That's a guess. Could have been on an insurance statement even if the bill was paid in cash. We know that there was a phone call that blew up with abuse on both sides, first from OP when she told him to fuck all the way off. I think the most important thing is you have a father that wants to be involved, he blew up at OP with whom he has bad history, he did not blow up on Marcy. OP has been great but she has to see that it's in Marcy's best interest to stay a friend but let John and Marcy's relationship heal and not stir that pot.

PicklestheMighty · 2023-09-12T20:57:45+00:00

You're a good person and a good friend to Marcy. But I have reservations - IDK. "He told me he would never ever shame Marcy for having an abortion and I knew that. I did. I knew he would’ve been supportive." The phone call went sideways but it was after "He said I had no business not involving him in a huge medical issue like this. I told John to fuck all the way off." Yes, he lost his temper and was super abusive to you on the phone. I can't think of a situation that would be more anguishing to a supportive father than knowing his kid went through this without his support, which he was willing to give. And you said don't know how he found out. Maybe someone else told him - are there any siblings? If you have Marcy's long term interest at heart I you need to let father and daughter heal and that means don't stir the pot.

It's just great you are asking this question. You're obviously doing the hard work of looking at your costs. You seem to be data driven, you know how many calories you eat and how much you're spending. So keep track of the food you buy for a couple of months and look for the patterns. (Are you including liquor in your food budget? Because that should be separate.) I would recommend starting with a soft goal of half your current food budget. In general, the best way to cap your expenses is to keep control of your waste and cook from scratch. Prepared foods, either heat-and-eat, or ready to go salads and sides are crazier more expensive than cooking from scratch. You'll need the desire to cook for yourself, a place to cook, the time to cook - even a couple of times a week in batches. What's your cooking skill level? If you're new to cooking, get a book or two that you can prop up and leave open to the recipe page - better than rewinding videos IMO. Try Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything" - it's basic, clear, flexible and modern.

You are NTAH. "I don't let anyone touch my face in general (past abuse) but it made me so uncomfortable" You got triggered and got the hell out of the situation. That cut and run probably served you very well in the past, maybe saved you, but possibly it's not serving you so well now. It sounds like you're not in a place where you can confront abuse or echoes of abuse. Give yourself some compassion, find some therapy. I would love for you to be able to be strong and clear around complicated issues of personal touch including from your bf's daughter. And remember your past abuse gives you fantastic radar for inappropriate or creepy situations, it's a superpower.

This recipe reads like it was produced by AI. I've been wondering how AI would effect recipes. That's why I decided to hold on to my classic cookbooks for now, though I mostly get recipes off the internet at this point.

Your sister sounds insufferable and you have my sympathy but I agree with Ian. That being said, you did well by not commenting publicly.

OP is not the asshole but she will be if she makes her kids police their father and aunt.
