The platen glass is a lot thinner than it looks!

You got a literal open mouth “O” and hand over mouth Oh NO from me. Their poor scrotum!

If you could speed the conveyor belt up, that would be greeeeat.

Benign fasciculation. It only used to happen after walking, and in my quads and calves. I swam competitively in division III and never happened in my upper body. I never worried about it. For folks that don’t understand the minimal and random nature of the ticks, here’s a good video.

Meat: get a ThermaPen instant read thermometer and cook meats to 120 for rare, 125 for med rare and 135 for medium. Pull the meat off heat 5 d before it hits you desired temp.

I’m 59 and I went gradually in the last 15 years from barely being able to sit cross legged to now I can’t even touch my right toe (chronic groin problem) let alone sit cross legged.

K, riffing on rain. Sorry, on a tangent, but this will work for me:

Purple Rain" by Prince “November Rain” by Guns N’ Roses “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” by Creedence Clearwater Revival “Rain” by The Beatles “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35” by Bob Dylan “Here Comes the Rain Again” by Eurythmics “I Can’t Stand the Rain” by Ann Peebles “Rainy Night in Georgia” by Brook Benton “Rain King” by Counting Crows

Only one missing is the REM song.

Ok. This is a perfect start to a playlist. I’ve never heard the Ann Peebles song.

Get more depressed and add intense anxiety to the mix.

If my depression is bad, but not suicidal bad, then I overeat. If it’s suicidal bad, I stop eating.

I think your comment is the source of a lot of people’s problems with sticking pasta. If there pots aren’t big enough and stove not powerful enough, a large amount of pasta can cool the water enough to stop the boiling and the pasta will stick if not stirred.

I do this to not waste even a drop of the precious liquid flavor gold that are egg yolks.

Satan

I will NEVER not watch that link when it’s posted.

Yes!

If only. We can dream.

We put a cotton ball in the dogs’ ears when giving them a bath to prevent water going in their ears, and we apply Vaseline to the exposed part of the cotton ball - makes the cotton ball waterproof. I thought you were describing that when I started reading your comment.

Make that red a little more brown and you got it.

Terrifying

There aren’t a lot if you consider your immediate social circle, but social media allows us to reach millions of people and increases our experience database. In all my social circles of maybe a couple hundred people over the last 40 years I have 2 acquaintances that were considered dangerous. One was a husband that fell into meth use, and another was a narcissist boyfriend they couldn’t take no for an answer. My extended social circle ranges from nurses and doctors to hairdressers to real estate agents to retired PD to cancer researchers to the trades to high tech folks and everything in between.

Your general practitioner MD has no clue what to do about backs. Go find a physiatry specialist, no need for a referral unless you’re on an HMO. They’re the most knowledgeable MDs (not chiropractors) for spine problems. The professional sports teams use them. They’ll definitely do an MRI first and then prescribe PT. Next would be cortisone injections, and their last resort is surgery.
