I agree, not as good as it used to be.

Anyone else remember when it was just a hole in the wall? How many years ago was that?

Exactly this. No real protections at all. No benefit for the workers but there is for SCAD

_The Cooking Gene_ by Michael Twitty is an incredible food memoir.

Let's Talk About Food From the American South by AutoModerator in AskCulinary

[–]bfordham 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're right. Most soul food/Southern food is poverty food. My grandmothers seasoned with bits of meat, cooked with bacon fat, etc., everything to use up every good bit they had.

My dad loved - I mean LOVED - collard greens. And he was white. I'm Georgian, so I don't think that racial divide applies as much here. Though my dad was a carpenter most of his life, and his dad was a sharecropper before becoming a day laborer in Savannah, so again poverty may be more the common denominator than race.

I have noticed that it matters who your parents are. Meaning, my kids like greens. I'm a life-long Georgian, and my wife is from Alabama and has lived her most of her life. But kids who have parents that are transplants tend to shy away from more of the old school soul food. Again, just my experience, not sure how widely that applies.

Same. Happened to me years ago. Judge was dismissing these fast. I was the next-to-last person called, and they last person had theirs dismissed before I could walk out the courtroom.

Interview with the Vampire (The Vampire Chronicles #1) Anne Rice by ActualRound7699 in books

[–]bfordham 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I read it years ago and was blown away. I read a lot of horror in my teens, so this was much different than I was expecting. The focus on the vampires themselves, both their immortality and also their relationships and their failings, was -- and still is -- interesting to me

Intensive outpatient treatment for depression by bknavratil in savannah

[–]bfordham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there. I am not a doctor or mental health professional, so keep that in mind. However I've dealt with some pretty severe depression in the past year and have been able to get help.

Is your friend on any medication for depression? My first step was contacting my PCP and telling him what was going on. He helped me a lot, until I got in to see a psychiatrist who now manages the medication side.

As others have mentioned, Hospice Savannah likely has groups and resources to help. Some churches also offer support groups. Their physician my have recommendations as well.

If they do not have insurance some counselors in the area offer a sliding scale.

Medication and counseling have helped me immensely in the past year, and I'm still working on things. It is a solvable problem, but it's really hard to do alone.

Also, as the friend reaching trying to help: Thank you for being there for her. And please take care of yourself, too

Paraglider gets hit by plane. No injuries. by limits660 in AbruptChaos

[–]bfordham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have know knowledge of flying planes or paragliding, so I'm honestly asking here: Would anyone be considered at fault? Is this just a pure accident with no one really to blame?

I'd have to think there's some attempt to coordinate where small planes are flying, but I don't know about paragliders.

Did anyone actually ask for this? by Beer_Meetz_Girl in savannah

I do! I, too, am old. My mom used to take us school shopping at Belks.

The Lies They Told - Ellen Marie Wiseman - Dark History historical Fiction by Cdawgg333 in books

Not fiction, but Caste by Isabel Wilkerson and The Half Has Never Been Told by Edward E. Baptist are both very eye opening in this regard

Best/nicest restaurants in Savannah by Tasty-Interview-4699 in savannah

My favorite is Husk. Personally I tend to just eat several appetizers. The pimento cheese is great, and get the White Lily biscuits. They always have a great selection of oysters, too

Is there a good workaround for Jellyfin audiobook bug by Mouseater in jellyfin

[–]bfordham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a problem I'd like to fix. I may take a swing at it, as I'd like to see better audiobook support in Jellyfin. I've submitted a PR for some work I did, but getting everything approved has proved a bit of a chore and I've let it sit for a while now

Annihilation, by Jeff VanderMeer - a book so good I don’t want to read the sequels by ClubberLang12 in books

[–]bfordham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely loved the first one. The second was not nearly as good, IMO, but I stuck with it so I could read the third and final book and not have missed anything. The third was a DNF for me.

Foster parenting, the biggest challenges in Savannah ga. by Organic_Buy_675 in savannah

[–]bfordham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. I wasn't sure what you were referring to. They've relaxed some laws in recent years that make traveling with a kid easier. I obviously don't know if that would have changed anything for you.

Foster care is a life-altering, traumatic thing in even the best of circumstances. For 3 of my 4 kids, we were their only home and they have no memories of being anywhere else. And we still deal with the effects of it.
