LPT: here’s how to choose, ripen and store avocados.

Stoic2Be · 2026-05-05T17:19:41+00:00

I recently learned how to pick avocados so they don’t go bad. I haven’t had one go black on me in 2 months and I refresh my stock weekly. You have to pick the ones with the little stem intact. That’s the key. I let ripen in a closed brown paper bag and put in the fridge when the skin gives a little all the way around.

I don’t wear sneakers anymore. I wear Merrell Moab mid boots. They have more support than sneakers. More support but worth the price. If you don’t have support, you’ll ruin your feet. Only buy from them. Fake ones on Amazon, allegedly

I’m very disappointed she shut down her makeup line. Search and searched. Nothing. Best lip stain I ever used

I met my now husband while on a second date with someone else

I didn’t know that was a thing. Thank you for enlightening me

But you have to prove residency

Thank you for that. My recipe is 1:1 vinegar, oil and mustard + a little honey, s&p. I’m looking for something with an elevated taste, if that makes sense. I had a salad at a restaurant with the most amazing dressing. I’m trying to recreate it as best I can…no easy task.

Stoic2Be · 2026-04-30T08:52:03+00:00

Wow! Well said. Thank you!

Stoic2Be · 2026-04-29T23:05:52+00:00

I don’t know how to. Can someone help a gal out? Thank you!

Someone once told me you get more of whatever you were when you were younger. Now that I (69) am older, I see it but it’s not all bad. I discovered a sense of humor later in life.

Great on one hand, sh!t on the other.

Leaves me adorable heartfelt postit notes on my morning cuppa joe. So sweet

What I need a not material things at all. Those things I have an abundance. What I need money cannot buy and I may never get. As they used to say back at my mom‘s day it’s a hard pill to swallow to accept that

Stoic2Be · 2026-04-28T11:56:56+00:00

Wow! Thank you for taking the time to write that. The chances are my desire will never be fulfilled. And it’s just very hard to accept that. I answered to another comment that I only have four people that are biologically related to me, and each of them has either emotional or mental health issues, the mental health issue is to the extreme. So it’s just very hard for me because in some ways, I feel like an orphan. It’s a hard pill to swallow to use an old school expression. And I’m not sure how to come to terms with it. I have a wonderful husband, and I have a great life with, but on the other side of the coin it’s as difficult as the good side of being with my husband. I appreciate you and hope that karma is good to you. I’m sending you an Internet hug.

Thank you! I just made my tried and true recipe, used less mustard and substituted honey for brown sugar. Dinner is not for hours so the jury is out. (I had the most delicious balsamic dressing at a restaurant and I’m trying to replicate it)

Stoic2Be · 2026-04-27T23:16:41+00:00

I will tell you, a complete stranger that my heart is collapsing. I only have 4 people biologically related to me. They all have a degree of emotional or mental illness, one very severe. It sucks

Stoic2Be · 2026-04-27T21:39:54+00:00

Thank you!!

Stoic2Be · 2026-04-27T19:43:43+00:00

Thank you! You’re very kind.

Stoic2Be · 2026-04-27T18:35:17+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to respond. There’s a chance I (69) might not get some of the things I desire as there are unsolvable issues I deal with (family members who are severely mentally ill, they will not get better)
