When no one shut down your grandmother's Facebook after she passed and you get notifications of her birthday or past posts you had with her.
meh.

My state is on fire. People are losing homes, and before it's all over I'm sure there will be loss of life. Naturally, the political big wigs (who cut the rural fire service budget by seventy-five percent this year) are blaming... the Greens for fearmongering. While homes are burning and livelihoods are going up in smoke and ash.

@Tinuviel Upvoting out of solidarity and support, not out of liking that there's a fire.
-
@Ghost That has happened to me but.. it is reminding me of nice things.
-
@Tinuviel It is incredibly stupid.

Ugh, if you really must go on and on with a 90s WoD mush description level of wording describing about why you decided to like this recipe and what it means to you, and how virtuous and pennypinching (or granola or farm to table or WHATEVER) you are could you please put that at the END of the actual recipe instead of the beginning.
-
@mietze And here I will list the ingredients...
It was a warm summers day when my golden tresses fell below my lean and narrow shoulders that I came across this particular wonderful vegetable..

I'm struggling to have the patience I must have with my students when I just want to curl in a dark corner and cry because I'm so worried about family issues that I can hardly think straight.
Being an adult sucks. Being an adult who has to have their shit together to teach little people how to keep their shit together is worse.

Of course, the week that the head honcho of my husband's company (he telecommutes to the UK, we live in the US) decides to come to the US for the first time in...a really long time, so my hubby needs to actually meet up with this guy in order for some face to face stuff....my youngest comes down with hand, foot, and mouth disease and is now excluded from school for the rest of the week. Thank goodness my job has pretty generous sick leave benefits and nobody is already out for vacation (we are a semi-skeleton crew). Now hopefully hubby won't contaminate his boss in time for his trip back to the UK...:P

You are!
It's like... a way to hold your phone? I have small hands and all phones are big now. I rely on mine a lot.
They also tend to be like, $10 and I got mine on sale for $4 so it's like gdi. -
Being a supportive sibling, I was like suuuuure, I'll try keto with you. It's fine. We can do this together.
Ignore the fact that my job LITERALLY is baking sweets, pastries, cakes, pies, cookies, and all the carbs daily.

You can do it!

In the last 24 hours, I have found not one but two pimples tucked into the little crevices where my nose meets my face.
I get pimples exactly once every never. Even as a teenager I didn't have acne. The only times I would ever get them was when I was insanely stressed and then there would be one the size of a small moon crater tucked in the same spots as now.
But I'm not a teenager. And I'm not stressed.
What the fuck is this, body?!?
-
I have that exact zit right now and it is driving me batty.
ETA: And my acne is finally cleared up because my hormones are under control! It's infuriating! So I totally get it.
-
@Sunny Right?! I think what I find doubly annoying is that I actually have pretty dry skin. When I get a zit, I can usually feel the damned thing stretching against the surface and only discover it because I've looked in the mirror to check on the source of physical discomfort.
So not only do they look red and icky, but they are uncomfortable, too!
-
I have no clue how old y'all are, but um. I never had acne as a teen or even while pregnant/postpartum but starting in my late thirties I started to have minor blemishes out of nowhere and started to react to cosmetics very differently). It lasted for a few years and then finally disappeared for other kind of even more annoying things. (Not hot flashes yet at least). I still break out more than I did as a teen but luckily not quite as often as I did!
-
Thankfully, I have pimples rarely. Unfortunately, the tradeoff is seborrheic dermatitis. I look like a zombie half the time, with my skin all sloughing off.
