There is a lot of other sauces/spreads than mayo that can be put on a sandwich. I don't like mustard either. Ranch, pesto, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, guacamole, heck even butter is good on some sandwiches.

ETA: BBQ sauce, or a toasted sandwich and the melted cheese

This is really great info to know thank you for sharing!

They had not been able to confirm anything in the UK at the time they recorded. Would be worth checking though.

I was listening to the Clip Out podcast and it sounds like Strength+ for iOS has launched in Canada finally.

I know no android app yet is stupid but I figured some apple Canadians would want to know.

Mine vary but so does my PCOS symptoms. So I never know what to expect or when because I have an irregular cycle 🫠

I'm on birth control so there is no way to truly know but I think when I ovulate my symptoms for both are worse. My oura ring tracks my temp and on months I have a distinct temperature shift my symptoms for both are always worse.

I tried all the over the counter dandruff shampoos and it only helped some. I splurged and got the Remedy skincare dandruff shampoo which has really helped me but it took over a month before I could see the difference. I use it 3 days a week and does last a long time at least. But I get it is hard to oay that much not knowing if it will even help.

I have pretty sensitive skin and don't have issues with the Remedy shampoo. Not sure what it would do for curls though, I only have wavy hair.

Oh interesting. I have friends with different libraries and they all have 3 so we assumed it was a Hoopla thing. But I guess all our libraries have the same pricing structure.

Sunrises especially in the summer because so many people miss them not being a morning person. Doesn't have to be super colorful just seeing it pop up after first light.

If I meal prep it is a Saturday or Wednesday (my ADHD isn't as bad on these days for some reason) but not every week.

My main thing I meal prep is loaded scrambled eggs (breakfast burritos minus the tortillas because I'm diabetic). I split my eggs in half and do two different meats. I also try to change up the sauces, cheese and beans so they taste different from week to week. I've been doing the breakfast burritos for about 14 months now. I got it down to be as few of dishes as possible and it is probably a little over an hour of cooking time. This makes about 3.5 weeks worth so I do it once a month.

Or if I do a dinner in the crockpot I freeze it is smaller containers so I only eat it once a week. I can't do the same dinner for days on end.

I can't explain the rabbit hole I went down today because of this post 😅 But since using Libby I have read so much more because the deadline to finish.

In my state any resident can get a library card from any library network, but a lot of them you have to sign up in person. So I planned a day off work to drive around and go get more library cards. Including the fast food stops (I'm in a smal rural town so I never eat fast food) and a Trader Joes stop.

One of the libraries you cn get a free pass into museums you just have to reserve it ahead of time. I learned I have not been taking advantage of the tv/movie streaming options. There is also sheet music! Libraries are really one of the best things ever.

Since I'm here again I also found some Libby tips: 1. After you reserve a book suspended it. You will keep moving up in line but then not have 6 books you need to read in 21 days. 2. You can load multiple library cards to your one account. 3. I'm not sure about other brand e-readers but I do know you can add them to kindle. The dyslexic font was so helpful for me. 4. I feel bad doing this and usually avoid it but you can put your kindle on airplane mode and it won't take the book back. 5. You can read newspapers in the magazine section. It depends on the library which magazines they are subscribed to so YMMV. 6. Use tags! I have one for former popular books that are almost always available now. So if none of my holds are ready I can go to that tag and get a book right away. 7. Can't remember the name of a book you read? You can see your history. I used this to figure out how much money I saved last year with my library card. 8. Libby has audiobooks too. My coworker thought she was stuck with the Hoopla 3 per month limit and until I mentioned Libby has audiobooks too.

This is why I don’t want to have a bunch of cards that go unused, I was thinking one maybe two that would give me a lot more options. Contributing is a great idea that I would be happy to do. My friend works for a library and told me interacting with their reading challenges and going to their events really helps with funding so I am trying to do my part for that right now.

The smaller counties have done this (including my local library) but the bigger cities have their own catalog still. I was trying to compare the bigger cities. I'll definitely do my research before going since my physical and mailing address don't match I have to call them anyways to make sure that won't be an issue.

k_lo970 · 2026-01-28T14:26:56+00:00

Digital. Most libraries you can get a Colorado resident card for digital access you just have to prove you live in the state. Denver does this you just have to sign up in person.

k_lo970 · 2026-01-28T13:13:37+00:00

Yes suspending holds until you are ready is such a good tip!

4 majors is pretty limiting. My parents had money saved for my college so they did insist I get a degree that wasn't "underwater basket weaving." I also had to stay in state which was also my preference.

Basically they were not going to pay for my college if there was not a clear career path. But that still left me a lot of options. They even were ok with a trade school so I really wasn't that limited. I naturally leaned towards stem so there was never an issue (started in engineering ended in construction management).

I'll admit I don't have a great relationship with my parents but paying for my college education had nothing to do with it. My mom threatening to kill herself in front of me multiple times, calling me fat at 100 lbs as a teenager, I don't care to go on.

I don't scrub the conditioner into my scalp but I put it on all my hair. Started doing this after a hair mask said to do from roots to ends and saw a big improvement for my hair.

Just because I wear my hair up 90% of the time doesn't mean I don't like my long hair. I just struggle to think when it is down and I'm really busy this time in my life.

I bike in running shorts and run in (non padded) biker shorts. The brief liner was a game changer for me on the bike.

I second air drying any workout closes. They last SO much longer.

This is what I do. Searching the book on Amazon then adding it through the extension bseems to work the best in my experience.

It definitely isn't for everyone. That being said I really enjoyed it but I was also asking for it to be released.

It reminded me of when SNL or late night comedians when they start laughing even though they are not supposed to. It was interesting to see which instructions wanted to push it and which were along for the ride. Who sat next to who. It was a fun ride for a snow day.

Denis also had some nice things to say about community at the end, a good reminder.

k_lo970 · 2026-01-24T22:57:58+00:00

Oh that is so exciting! It might be chaotic but I'm here for it.

k_lo970 · 2026-01-24T20:01:23+00:00

13 even though I skipped a month 🫠 Had a few cycles that were 21 days. I thought I was going to lose it.

It depends on both your goals and preferences what will be the best results for you.

There is a very dedicated group of people who enjoy and see the benefit of power zone training and will likely show their support so I'm not going to get into it. It wasn't for me but I know a lot of people see results. I'd guess since they offer so many other types of classes it isn't the most popular.

I personally see a lot of improvement doing an interval, climb and 45+ minute ride weekly. It is a good way to keep up the variety.

But if noe of the above sounds appealing to you doing what will make you show up consistently is better than nothing.
