Sometimes I dry off after shower with oil on a damp washcloth, don’t like oil on dry skin but sealing in the moisture while gently exfoliating is great.
Body lotion I like Nivea with creatine & Q10, except for the smell. Archipelago Botanicals Botanico de Havana is the best but too expensive for an everyday use.
The heck? I thought both eating and brushing sort of soften your teeth temporarily, so better not to eat right after brushing OR brush immediately after eating.
Never. Once I realize I am dreaming, I can act on my own. I try not to disturb or actively control the dream world though, always want to explore it.
Everyone left in my department is amazing actually, so we go to each other because we all think differently, and yes sometimes my do everything different ways all the time approach really pays off. Work seems to think I do a good job but to me it feels more like occasional flashes of brilliance and longer stretches of slower work because I can’t do anything I don’t understand, have to see the whole picture first.
I am worried about OP, he put another post up about is it normal to care only about your romantic partner and no interest at all in anyone else.
Oh my gosh when I was younger I absolutely loved to sleep on speed, it felt so good. Caffeine would leave me wired but amphetamine - it’s not that it made me sleepy exactly, but the sleep on speed was so delightful.
And yeah I gained 20 lb when I went to school in England and was fed 3 times a day, I had never eaten like that before. Just when I got hungry and remembered, lol.
Now I mostly just make sure to exercise - I was very active as a teen too but now it really works, if I exhaust my body my mind does settle.
Yeah my kids tell me I have ADHD, and by the current understanding of it I would agree (when I was growing up it only applied to literally hyperactive kids, I have seen some and it was extreme and disabling, they were wild and screaming, couldn’t stop moving or learn.) and certainly have not a good understanding of time at all. And it’s like I know they are ok, and that is satisfactory, I am happy if they are happy.
I cannot imagine asking a guy his size. That is rude as heck.
If you have to answer “big enough” or “haven’t had any complaints” seems reasonable though honestly I’m having trouble putting myself into the mindset of someone who would inquire.
One of my coworkers says she has no fucks left when she feels like that. “Sorry, all my fucks have already been given.”
No. I don’t miss people while they are alive - I don’t need to talk to them or see them, I know they are alive, and don’t miss them somehow, yes friends, yes even my parents and siblings and grown kids, I love them but if I know they are ok that seems to be enough.
But when they are sick or hurting I care. I want them happy and healthy and if I can help I want to.
And when they die I miss them, so much.
Not sure what normal is, but no that doesn’t sound normal. How do you feel about your own self? Do you care for your own body and mind?
Really? Keep it so quiet.
Would do the things to the house that we say we’d do if we had all the money. But not more. Get the car my husband wants, but with a loan so it’s not so obvious. I don’t need one. Start putting the max into the retirement accounts and pull an extra couple thousand to pay for stuff each month.
I feel like this would basically need to be laundered like crime money, if we wanted to do more with it, even good things. Would think on it, but without a way to do that I would just use it.
Ok, this one is both gorgeous and seems delicious. I would swap the vinegar for a live meyer lemon vinegar or a champagne vinegar, and maybe goat cheese (or goat milk feta) but for sure will try this.
My favorite fruit salad is:
No. I have had Christmas lights stolen, but those were on the fence by the road, we don’t have that in this house.
The inflatable things people just deflate and leave out usually here. Everything else just stays so the house stays decorated.
My dad’s mom’s Oyster Dressing. I do not miss merliton (chayote) though. She was from New Orleans but grew up rich, not a very dedicated cook, but that Oystah Dressin, I liked it and don’t know how she did it.
My mom’s mom was oh so southern and made such good biscuits and fried chicken, but what I miss are the pecans. After her abusive husband died (she divorced him at like 65 years old, finally had enough and he just left and died!). She had a pecan tree and would sit on her porch with her boyfriend and shell pecans for hours, and give us a bag when we left, I loved them.
Some seeds for the garden. Purple cauliflower.
I do not think I can pick a favorite, mostly I cook at home so just make what I want. But my most usual restaurant orders:
Burrito Jaliscience from Crazy Burrito. BBQ pork (asado, not like with BBQ sauce), refried beans, rice, grilled onions and their absolutely addictive so very hot hot sauce.
Pho from Pho Quyen. The one with thin sliced raw beef that the broth cooks.
Sag/Palak paneer and garbanzos masala from Rasoi Indian. And the curried okra.
And the best restaurant meal we ever had, ever, was at a Peruvian restaurant in Sarasota that is gone now. It was like 10 years ago and we still talk about it. Even the salad dressing was exquisite, every part of the meal so good. Seared tuna & a chicken dish with yellow sauce. Tableside bananas foster. Better than it sounds because every part of it was incredibly delicious.
For me it’s timing not what I drink. Aperitif before supper, or a drink on a weekend afternoon, or wine with an early supper, fine.
Nightcap? No no no no no, going to bed too relaxed, even almost imperceptibly buzzed is a migraine.
And any night of 2 or more drinks will give me a hangover, my limit seems to be 1.5.
Weekdays? Coffee with milk, and either a piece of sourdough toast, or avocado toast, or cold oatmeal if I made some for the week. (I do small breakfast, big lunch, small supper.). Often just the coffee.
Weekends always at least one big late brunch, usually just eat twice those days so eggs, potatoes, refried beans, cheese, onion, tomato, avocado, bacon if we have it.
If I have a weekday off, and there is leftover rice, then rice & kimchi with a fried egg, or maybe savory oats or french toast something fancy or different but that is not usual.
I mod the !cocktails@lemmy.world and usually will put something once a week or so. It sees slow and steady growth but not sure if I have much to do with that.
4 person household now.
Gross around 200k if kids jobs included, net pay into bank though is about 7k a month and bills 5k a month (mortgage & related, electric, internet, water and trash, the fixed expenses basically) so I’d say we do fine, and have good jobs, but not loaded.
Waaah, we don’t have this. We have Hoopla music but the catalog looks so random. Somehow the freaking Lakeland library system has that but not Hillsborough? I will ask them I guess. I keep the YouTube music because the family plan is ok and the kids & husband use the videos, and their catalog is deep and interface getting better.
