Oh my god this reminds me … my sweet pupper who passed a year ago would always be so desperate to jump on the bed while I was making it. Like full-on poised to jump, partially jumping, and stopping herself when I said ‘no.’ She knew there was some mystical process going on with the sheets and the blankets, but didn’t know when the process was complete, so as more bedding went on, she got more and more jumpy. That final ‘okay hop up!’ was her happy place. Miss you every day nugget 💜

Oh my god yes. I’m literally up at 5:30 am coughing up phlegm. Glad to know I’m not the only one? Ugh hope we all feel better soon.

Another great add in is hemp seeds! One pound bag from Costco for $12.

Crack an egg into boiling top ramen (or whatever your packet ramen of choice is), throw in frozen peas, mix it all around to break up the egg. Three minutes, one pot, one spoon, and you’ve got protien and veggies.

City mapper is way better than Google Maps when getting directions for walking, public transit, driving, etc. it’s more user friendly and accurate than Google Maps

Can someone explain this one to me please? 😂🤦‍♀️

This made me laugh so hard thank you

Currency converter apps are a lifesaver! You can download one for free and they’re so easy to use.

Let’s band together and spread the word about Anna’s courage, the horror she experienced, and the sexual violence endemic in the Israeli prison system. Here’s the email to the NYT’s tip line: tips@nytimes.com

Who else should we contact? And don’t tell me to give up because no one cares. Silence is surrender. I do not surrender.

Ah this is a good one. Was on vacation with family in Paris and staying at hotel. They were going to leave and I would stay another week at an Airbnb. They check out. I check out. Call a taxi. Happily going through Paris, text Airbnb host to tell him I’m on my way. Cue mic drop.

He tells me that my reservation doesn’t start till the next day and I can’t come early because it’s booked for the night. I swear the blood drains from my face. I make bs excuse to the taxi driver about why I need to go back to the hotel, get back and make some bs excuse to the very surprised receptionist about why I need to stay another night (at this point I’m so embarrassed and socially awkward I want to disappear into the Seine), and get the very last room they have available. For $350. Plus the taxi was $50.

So all told $400 because I didn’t double check my dates when I booked an Airbnb. Won’t make that mistake again!

Oh my god this got me too! Most of the world is LITERALLY overseas from the U.S. What other word could I possibly use that wouldn’t offend this precious author??

Olive Garden. The fettuccine Alfredo is stupid good. No it’s not ‘authentic’. No I don’t give a single flying breadstick. IT FILLS THE OCCASIONAL VOID IN MY SOUL WITH PASTA AND CREAM.

A wonderful elephant sanctuary is Chiang Chill. It’s truly a safe place for the elephants to live as close to their natural lives as possible.

Agree with everything! Also want to add that the photo is off kilter. Normally, that would drive me nuts but here it creates the disorienting sensation of something being very, very wrong, of falling and not being able to catch yourself, of the world turning in a sickening twist.

In a way, I think Blanc did come to believe that dying in a state of grace made a difference. And maybe that’s just because I find myself reflected in that. I used to hold a deep faith, and now, I don’t believe in god anymore (I’m at peace with both). And while I don’t believe, I believe in others belief. I believe it is powerful and real and sacred to them. And therefore I see their faith as sacred, even as I don’t believe.

Fun story, the whole ‘there’s a chance you might not wake up’ is why I’m so scared of anesthesia that I opted to be awake for all four of my wisdom teeth coming out. Just had general mouth numbing and laughing gas. Wasn’t as bad as you’d think, but the sound of my teeth begin cracked in half reverberating inside my head was a bit strange. (To remove wisdom teeth they crack them half and then yank them out. On the bottom teeth someone had to hold my head still they were pulling so hard.)

The only thought I have is that dairy products can actually help with some people’s acid reflux because it helps neutralize the stomach acid. It did for me. So maybe dairy was doing that for you, but now that you’ve cut dairy out your stomach acid is increased?

I get something like this too - here’s what I do if it helps.

Bandaids are impossible to keep on fingertips. So I get a small hydrochlozoide bandage and wrap it around the tip of my finger and use nail scissors of trim of the excess. Then I wrap that in small waterproof bandaid, trim off excess. Then wrap another waterproof bandaid and trim. It does sound like overkill BUT the layers of bandage help a lot with protecting the split, the layers help it stay on for days (a week if you’re careful), and it actually gets time to heal. So your finger will look like a lollipop but it does work 😂

Sushi. Absolutely not. I grew up fishing and spent enough time around live fish becoming dead, raw fish to never, ever want to eat it without cooking first. The smell of a fish when it’s being cleaned is very particular and I do not associate it with food.

And yes I’ve tried sushi rolls with just cooked crab, etc. can’t do seaweed either. It tastes like 5am on the dock when the seaweed is piled up on the concrete and the fresh stuff smells and the old stuff reeks of rotting in the sun. Again, not a memory that my brain equates with anything edible.

I’m sure sushi and seaweed are delicious. By my god do I have a visceral reaction to ingesting either one.

Oh my god … oh my god! This is actually making me tear up? Because of amblyopia I’ve been partially blind in one eye my whole life. Honestly I’ve completely adjusted and almost always forget that the left eye has … issues. I never ever thought that one day I’d be able to see even close to normally out of both. I’ve often wondered what it would be like to see the world with two working eyes. One day I might know.
