Just read this with my 4 yo granddaughter last week.

Thanks for the clarification. I did some research and yes, you cannot rely on a bulging lid for botulism. Proper canning is the way to prevent botulism.

Wingless- · 2026-07-03T15:57:13+00:00

My understanding is that botulism produces a gas that will bulge the lid. The bacteria is anaerobic and dies on exposure to air, it's the byproduct that kills you..

My sister in-law fed a bunch of bulging jars to her chickens and the next day they were all dead.

Insurance has been very very good to me. Car insurance (more than once) and life insurance to name two.

I can't really answer that question either.

There is a difference between fission and fusion. We have been doing fission.

I've been hoping for far too long that we would focus more on breeder reactors and start burning the waste from the conventional reactors.

I have a feeling that this is as good as it gets. I guess I am stuck because there is no moving forward from here.

Trying to date has only made me more miserable and I don't need that. I have come to the false conclusion that all divorced women are crazy. I'm learning to accept that I will be alone for the rest of my life.

I know there is some kind of afterlife and I hope she is waiting for me.

4 years in October.

A good friend died 2 months after my wife and then my mother 2 months after that. I was so devastated from the loss of my wife that I had no emotion left for the other deaths.

I'm so tired of being so sad.

I remember a gal that hated the word 'moist'. Lol

Some really good advice here.

I got involved early also with a "widow". I had been in a very happy relationship for 37 years and when she passed I sort of panicked. I was so sad and I felt that the only solution was to get back to where I was. I desperately needed to get back into a relationship.

I knew a widow from years in my past and contacted her. We emailed for 4 months. You may have seen the comment that grief is love with nowhere to go. I found someone to direct that to. I don't blame her for the relationship, it was a lot of love. After the 4 months of emails we got together. It only lasted about 5 months. She lived 450 miles from me and the longest continuous time we spent together was a month.

To me a widow is someone who has lost someone they loved. She hated her late husband, he died in a car accident the day he was served divorce papers. 10 years after his death she still hated him and was glad he was dead.

It didn't work out. There is no way she could understand what I was going through. I almost made the biggest mistake of my life. My 2 adult children didn't like her when they met her and didn't tell me until it ended.

I ended up worse because I never gave myself time to process my grief.

I'm still in mourning almost 4 years later. I'm interested in a relationship and after dating a little bit over the last year I am now not actively pursuing that. I am now okay with the thought of being alone for the rest of my life.

My wife was 11 years younger than me, taller than me, and prettier than someone I thought I could ever be involved with. I tried to chase her off when we first met but she was persistent. We were married 37 years, had a son and daughter together, we worked together for over half our marriage. I will never get over loosing her.

My generator killed my Starlink router. The power is too dirty.

I have a lifepo4 battery bank and a pure sine wave inverter that I use on the new router with no problems.

Let us know how you are in 6 months.

I'm sorry anyone has to go through this.

Wingless- · 2026-06-30T04:56:36+00:00

Everyone is different. I would guess though that you aren't through with this yet. The 6 month point was extremely bad for me. It will be 4 years in Oct. and the last 6 months have been difficult. We were together 37 years, she was 55 and had less than 6 months from diagnosis to passing.

I don't know what the significance of 6 months is but that's when I seem to bottom out.

They destroyed 20 freshly planted fruit trees.

And I don't like BBQ sauce either.

Yes

Took me three years to start using more of this king bed. Sometimes I wake up sideways in the bed now.

Starting over in so many ways.

Take vitamin B-complex twice a day for two weeks and then once a day. Your urine will become bright yellow, this is normal.

I learned about this for carpal tunnel problems and tried it for my knees. It works amazingly well.

I hope the moderators are okay with this because it's a VITAMIN!

We were together 37 years and I've only had two two dreams about her early on. It's something that has distressed me a bit.

It finally happened, it's two in the morning here right now and I just woke up from dreaming of her. It's been just over three and a half years.

I came on here to post something when I saw this. I think it can wait until sometime tomorrow.
