Here’s another doctor that branded women’s uteruses with the initials of his school.

When the dinosaurs die, their bodies become the microfiber cloths. And we use the microfiber cloths. And so we are all connected in the circle of life.

It’s all in the texture for me. The denser, somewhat chewy bagel is really nice and holds up to cream cheese a lot better than sandwich bread. They are amazing open face with cream cheese. Some folks like them with butter. It’s fine, but I do love cream cheese far more. I’ve had bagel sandwiches, which can be really good, but I do find them to be really heavy. (Plain or blueberry bagel, with cream cheese and sliced ham is my go-to for a bagel sandwich.)

You can get all sorts of flavors of bagels, like cinnamon, blueberry, and onion. You can get schmear (cream cheese spread) with many different varieties of mixins too, like herbs, fish, and lemon! I think my favorite combo is an onion bagel with garlic herb schmear.

That being said, I do love a good sandwich too.

It doesn’t fit in my grinder. 😩

I love how much better it has gotten! I am however allergic to cashews (and pretty much most nuts…). Besides nutritional yeast, is there any decent vegan alternative to cheese that you would recommend?

Coasters? Communion wafers? Just cause?

Drug testing at a restaurant?! lmaooooo

Oof I forget about these. Or just the plain hypocrites that publicly shame abortion but will secretly get one (or have their partner get one) and go right back to shaming abortion. Or substitute any other thing they have a moral objection to, really.

Their own situation called for it, and it is fine because they are “right.” But those other people, it is not fine because they are “wrong.”

“I suffered, and so should you. Stop complaining!”

It really does come down to this for a lot of folks. Anyone that tries to fix it are considered “whiners” to these folks.

“I behaved the correct way, and this did not happen to me. If everyone else did the same as me, they wouldn’t suffer. Since their suffering is preventable, they cannot complain and must suck it up.”

“See? I’m on your side. Treat me better than you treat them, please.”

Snooping as usual I see.

I prefer to have some ingredients that are more flexible over having a specialized product that only makes few things or just one thing.

I do like to bake and I cook a fair amount, so ingredients like flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sugar go far in my household.

Sometimes my family needs to go on special diets and having more control over what goes into my food helps a lot. (That low FODMAP diet was a bitch.)

But that’s just my situation. These types of mixes save a lot of time and effort. Can’t really knock that.

You didn’t have to cut me off

I didn’t realize I was ND for the longest time, until my doctor brought it up.

I dated quite a few ND folks of different flavors. Some of them I thought were NT but later got a diagnosis.

I am friends with NT people, but I just tend to gravitate towards ND romantically. I don’t even think I consciously do it. It’s a lot easier to be myself around folks that just “get it” I suppose.

My current partner (ND) and I can play off of each other’s strengths. Our shortcomings are not symmetrical at all so we can manage quite well. An example is that I am very organized. I can make sure nothing falls through the cracks. My partner is quite disorganized, but is really good at focusing on tiny minute details of her current task and pulling together something amazing.

I do like hearing from my NT friends and we do sometimes discuss things like current events and things that have happened around us. We like discussing the things that we got and the things we missed. But romantically? I’m not sure if that is for me. Special interests? Missed cues? Weird things I’m particular about? My NT friends can handle that in small doses from me, but I’m not sure they could handle it full time.

And my axe!

It is so much bullshit that you get put in that situation for something that isn’t your fault, but glad you had options. It is appalling how we neglect the sick and disabled. My partner was physically messed up for nearly a decade because she could not afford the healthcare or the time off needed. (Fortunately she is doing much better now after I could support her financially to get treated.) In a time of great abundance, this should not be a common occurrence.

I hope you find answers and relief soon.

You are so very right. However, these facts do not deter these managers. (And other people that think like this.)

The culture I grew up with valued this type of thing.

Why did you miss work? A cold? If you’re not in the hospital and you’re not here, you are a slacker.

It doesn’t help when you don’t have any more paid sick time and you need to keep paying the rent.

It’s so infuriating that it feels like life is structured in such a way that it is difficult or impossible to recover from these types of things without exposing people to your own sickness.

No excuses for people that are sick don’t stay home when they have the opportunity though.

ETA: masking does definitely help though and I’m glad the culture doesn’t find it as unusual as before
