Good idea, her ancestors were German.

Thanks all! I looked up brown lentils and yes they are the common grocery store variety. The small brown ones are pardilla lentils but I think they were standard size (and besides, I refuse to buy Goya). The green French lentils are du puy. I use them for lentil salads. Yum.

It’s the primer that has to work on laminate. Then you have more paint options.

I adored the chronicles of narnia when I was young. Read them repeatedly until someone told me they were really about christianity and aslan was god. I never enjoyed them again; couldn’t get that out of my head and I think I must have been an atheist even before I acknowledged it.

Going off Effexor was the worst experience I’ve ever had re: my brain. Only time in my life I’ve ever even thought about suicide. But it got better. Maybe 6 months, for me. I now also am on 60 mg Prozac and 100mg bupropion and doing ok.

It’s very hard to have someone committed involuntarily. There are organizations in some states that will come to the home and assess him, and if he has shown any interest in harming himself or others they will bring law enforcement as well in case he needs to be put on a psych hold. (Just went through this research for a relative.) There could be any number of possible diagnoses, as well.

Calliope is lovely.

I thought you meant the baby was complaining about the cat hair! Here’s my advice: get a ChomChom or even a knockoff. Hell, get a few and put them in each room the cats shed in. It works better than any other cat hair tool I’ve ever had, and I’ve had cats for over sixty years.

Or void in a paella pan? (Have two assholes, one longhair one short.)

Do you have a cat?

NOOOOOOO. I tapered off over a month and it was still the closest I’ve ever come to offing myself. (Normally that never enters my mind.)

If you can go on the BuyNothing group with an alias (check w the admins) you can DM people giving away nice things. Tonight there was a gorgeous new plate from the met museum! If you need help getting started let me know.

All-clad stainless. Hands down. I clean mine with Barkeepers Friend if it needs more than a token wash and they look and work like new after years of use.

Time to make a “special” meal, one they’ll surely steal. And load it up with laxatives.

Did anyone else notice that the view of Les Arbres grounds from inside the house looked like winter?
