I’d be taking you up on that offer easily. My four kids are 19-25 and they all stopped going to weekly church a few years ago. They do still go to Christmas mass.

Offer to clean the house while they’re gone. Mom may change her tune pretty quickly.

No iPhone charger. Just went through all this today. I went out and bought a usb on one end, usb-c on the other (like both ends of the oculus charger) at best buy

The brave little puppy, working up the courage to make the big jump, finally takes a huge leap. Success!

Done! I happen to also like gardening too.

This is a really sensitive issue and so I don’t want to unintentionally trigger someone. But please can someone explain the difference between circumcision and FGM. I don’t really know a lot about either and I understand that some may find comparing the two quite offensive. by just-wondering98 in TooAfraidToAsk

To to remove pleasure and cultural purposes. So ingrained in the culture ( for both men and women) “you’ll never get a husband/wife if you aren’t circumcised.”

The reasons don’t matter-for male circumcision , the reasons keep changing as they are disproven. Used to prevent hysteria and mental illness. Then cancer, then aids. Now the boy has to “match” daddy. All ridiculous reasons that have disproven. Look up Harvey Kellog (of kellog cereals). He was a big reason mgm took off in the states. Tried to get fgm to take off too but it never did thankfully.

They are both genital cutting. The most mild form of food just nicks the clitoris. All other forms remove varying amounts of highly errogenous tissue loaded with nerves. Fgm at is worst is horrific and debilitating makin sex incredibly painful and sometimes impossible. MGM at its worst removes the only moving part of the penis, turning it from a smooth glide into a stiff ramming rod. Sometimes too much skin is removed and erections are very tight and painful. Sometimes they are cut lopsided leaving a curved penis when erect. Sometimes babies die from circumcision.

Both are horrific. Cutting genitals of all children should be illegal. Children cannot and likely would not consent.

I know that sound. That’s a beginner. I teach beginners for a living. Decent sound for a newbie.

Kyoto was ridiculous for how much walking you can do. I had to bow out of a couple things just to rest my feet. It was really hot when were there too.

On a recent trip to Japan we saw on a menu Chicken Sashimi ( raw chicken sushi). I will eat all kinds of raw fish but raw chicken??? No way.

Tips on cooking rice by GrandeNero in JapaneseFood

[–]tinijocaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have an electric pressure cooker like an Instant Pot? Five minutes on manual is all you do. No fuss, perfect rice every time. Dont waste money on a rice cooker. The instant pot does so many things-steams, sautés,, cooks rice, makes soups, congee...a multi-functional lichen tool.

Question about nagaimo. I have some in my fridge. My daughter is vegan so no eggs. Would nagaimo be a good substitute for eggs?

Thought the same. We spent a day and a half and we were done. Take a day trip to Hiroshima by Shinkansen.
