Four days with a migraine is the longest I have gone. Even if I put a spoonful of water in my mouth I’d puke. That was back when they would give you opiates to break the migraine, they don’t work as painkillers for it but make you high enough to finally sleep - pain felt so far away - and I would wake up with no headache. It’s happened about 7 times total in my life, now they won’t do that but they do IV fluids to prevent damage and some antihistamine to make you sleep but it doesn’t break the migraine. Hopefully it never happens again.

On purpose I have fasted 3 days but would NEVER purposely fast without water. Water with electrolytes if going more than a day or so.

His mom was actually pretty when young and it’s only the villainess hairdo and heavy jewelry, style keeping her from looking like a regular old lady.

His dad wtf is going on with his face? Was never a looker but did he have to have a chunk of it removed or something? He looks like he’s been Frankenstein-ed.

This is the one and only thing that Copilot has done for me successfully. There is a theoretical PDF to Excel function in both Adobe and Excel and they suck. The ridiculous AI tool actually does a reasonable job of it, after a few rounds of back & forth with it.

We are all our own worst critics. Like, when I look at myself all I see is the flaws, right? It’s a kind of dysmorpia.

There are literal good days & bad days of course, bloated or bad hair day, or bad skin day, but they aren’t as extreme as you see them. Nobody else would notice or care.

I was anorexic so I always look fat to myself, it doesn’t matter my size really. You can’t trust the mirror and you don’t see what others do.

A comedienne is a lady comic. She is saying she wants men but doesn’t find them attractive, which as a straight lady, makes absolute sense to me. Especially as I get older I wish I was bi, women age better (or more women age well is probably a better way to put it), and it would be easier in some ways. But alas, it’s men for me.

Not like red bean ice cream.

Louisiana red beans & rice, chop all of whatever veg you have laying around, saute them, add andouille sausage if you have it, it’s fine without though. Add beans & water & salt, cook them.

On Camellia rice.

Pintos are traditional here not kidney. Kidney beans are for red beans & rice.

Beans. Punch away. I would take the meat out of chili before the beans.

Tomatoes or tomato paste, spoonful of unsweetened chocolate, some red wine. And why the heck did you not start with an onion?

Dogs don’t work like that. A dog gets protective when it’s anxious, and thinks it has to be in charge because you are ineffective. If your dog is relaxed and looks to you to protect it, you are doing a good job of raising your dog.

Dog park, I dunno, but "standing up to other dogs’ just sounds like asking for a dog fight. Playing dogs are not necessarily jockeying for dominance but even if they are it doesn’t mean they can’t all have fun, without being mean.

I agree that even good, happy dogs can have a nose for danger, our awesome shep-akita was pleasant with adults and gentle giant with other dogs but once was so growly snappy with a girl my stepdaughter brought home and she did steal something. The dog picked up on her we did not.

I always figured it was nature trying not to breed us into a race of giants, or midgets. I’m a lady and about the average height of men in my area (which my husband points out puts me in the top 5% of women’s height here even though I’m barely even tall) and mostly have dated men around my height. My ex was about my height and our kids were all average height. Husband also around my height. My husband’s ex was a lot shorter than him and his boys are not as tall as me, and I tease him, if he wanted tall kids he needed a tall mom.

So I guess if she had her kids with a tall guy they would have been average height but I never had to think about that, right? But if my kids dad had been really tall my kids would be like Really Tall, maybe more than is healthy?

I know nobody is having kids anymore, lol, but the preferences could be hard wired to some extent.

Also - if only 5% of women are my height or taller, there probably just aren’t enough of us around even if we wanted to breed giants.

Florida. It’s this plant, nopales are the leaves, tuna is the fruit. Also the whole plant and the fruit are called prickly pear, but when I see it for sale (as food), it’s Tuna. Nopales taste sort of like green peppers to me.

Republican voters skew older (retired) so if you make voting difficult for people, the ones with more free time are the ones more likely to vote.

The easier it is for everyone to vote, the less the Republicans are favored.

Mail in ballots would also favor rural voters but I guess there are not enough of them for the conservatives to worry about?

But in short - no, the mix of voters does not stay the same as it increases.

Well, where I live, Tuna is also a cactus. Prickly pear is often called tuna. So yeah, tuna (fish) and tuna (fruit) can need disambiguation.

That’s not as profoundly bad as I was, nor my nearsighted child, and I had a work colleague with -12 who got her vision corrected with Lasik.

I had the Lasik in my 20s for a -6 prescription and got, not perfect, but good enough vision to only need thin, light glasses.

When I was profoundly nearsighted I got really good correction with contacts, hard contacts gave me supernaturally good vision, but glasses never did. Even now I can’t get perfect vision with glasses, it’s just good enough.

You are farsighted? Two older ladies at my work had to get cataract surgery and in the process, their vision was corrected. Do get a second opinion, but it is true that you may not be able to see perfectly through glasses, I never could. Well enough to work, to read, and to not get headaches from squinting all the time, though, I don’t feel disabled by my sight.

Deep penetration, hee hee.

Red light therapy is reasonably well proven at this point, it’s not magic but can have an effect.

No tengo una plancha.

I have never had an iron, just wear knits mostly, natural fabrics. If absolutely necessary, will steam them, but only a couple times a year.

My mom didn’t iron much but she did have the board and the iron. Some of my coworkers do iron their stuff.

My mom talked about staying up late to hear the black radio station because everything on the radio was so boring. She ran away from home to see Elvis!

You live in a different world, with streaming, you can listen to so much music. I can remember before that - we at least had community radio with volunteer DJs who played different stuff but top 40 radio literally played about 40 songs on repeat.

I suppose your grandkids will also consider whatever you think shocking music to be boring too

I would be shocked if grapefruit flavored red bull contains any part of grapefruit the fruit.

Watch his Tiny Desk Concert on NPR, it’s amazing. Arena shows are just arena shows, the music gets a little lost in all the rest of what’s going on.
