Say the correspondent’s out loud.

Yes

How long does it keep once you make it?

Real butter for things where you can taste it. Store brand for things where the other flavors are more overpowering and don’t really notice the butter.

I got a tortilla press and masa harina. I will not buy premade corn torillas again. Masa isn’t that expensive, add salt, water, mix, press, and cook on a dry pan (or super lightly oiled, i put a very light layer on mine since it’s cast iron)

So much tastier than store bought and better texture.

This is what I was going to say. Practice hills.

Practice taking off from being parked uphill.

Practice taking off from being stopped downhill.

People will park/pull up almost to your bumper and give you very little wiggle room.

My parents lived next door to my grandma. Mom would say “wanna go to Grandma’s” to her cat and he’d jump up on a speaker beside the door to be picked up and carried. Grandma would make him a scrambled egg or give him some tuna.

After Mom passed away, I was visiting Dad and thought I’d try “Wanna go to Grandma’s?” He jumped up and let me carry him to Grandma’s and back. (After his scrambled egg, of course) He lived to be 21 so I carried to him see Grandma everytime I visited.

Maybe you don’t remember your hallucinations, since you didn’t write them down? I’m thinking like how a lot people’s memories of dreams fade.

I had a cat I did that to. He waited for me to yawn, days later and stuck his paw in my mouth.

I don’t fuck with my cats like that anymore.

This looks like when he was saying Zelensky should say thank you, to his face. And has been doctored to look like the beginning stages of Violet’s transformation after chewing the experimental gum in the movie version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Gene Wilder.

Women are also fed lies that men don’t need emotional support. Also, women are told constantly that men don’t want to be friends with them and only want sex.

So there’s a good chance his friends that are women think he’s not having a hard time and/or he wants to sleep with them instead of talk.

I’m sorry OP that you are going through this. The advice to join an in person hobby or interest group is probably best. (To supplement your therapy)

Also, it’s also entirely possible, since it’s been 5 months, that everyone is overwhelmed with life and the world. I know I’ve not reached out as often to my friends the last 6 months (I’m stressed by country and the grief of losing my dad a few months ago.)

Also you say it seems like everyone is supporting your ex. Are they really? Or is she holding them hostage with her drama and steamrolling into their lives?

If you are safe from the prisoners and guards, get clean accommodations, are well fed, get outside/gym time for fitness, medical care, time to learn a vocation or study, occasional entertainment time (tv or whatever)… the only thing missing is a romantic partner… honestly, it sounds as good as an all inclusive retreat/vacation.

I imagine not having control over your own life for years at a time would wear one down. But months? If I knew my outside people weren’t suffering because of my actions, it sounds kind of nice.

But I’m an introvert that works from home, so, I’d miss my pets.

It’s not the same (obviously) but it depends.

If I buy a bag of jelly belly candy, I will eat the whole bag until I have a stomach ache, and then eat until the bag is empty. So I buy smaller amounts.

But other sugary snacks? I went cold turkey and cut out all sugar and it was all I could focus on, I craved sugar to the point of being miserable. I bought a bag of chocolates, told myself I could have one a day (like a mini snickers) - what happened will shock!

I ate one a day, and sometimes not even that. Just knowing it was there as an option took away the obsession and I ate overall a lot healthier.

So, yeah, I could do sugar in moderation with chocolate, but not with those tiny jelly beans.

Whatever your addiction is, only you know if you can really do moderation or not.

I know of other people that kept a pack of smokes or a pint of whiskey in the back of a cabinet. Knowing it’s there is enough, and they just keep putting off partaking until suddenly they realize it’s been a year or more and they haven’t thought about it in ages.

This person weaned off instead of cold turkey for the same outcome: cessation.

Moderation would be if they still smoked 2 cigarettes a day or a couple times a week instead of 2 packs every day.

Someone, not a therapist, told me pain isn’t a competition. I don’t have to wait for my pain to be worse than the pain of the people around me before I go get help for myself.

In this case, I had physical pain I put off getting checked because it wasn’t worse than what why partner deals with daily. Turned out I needed antibiotics for a bad infection.

What are the ads for? Who’s paying for them? Is NY and fed buying these ads? Or a PAC? Or someone selling insurance?

I don’t have pics, but after my two were fixed, I had borrowed one of these crates to keep them in for a few hours while they recovered fully from the anesthesia.

One was loopy and just wanted to nap. The other was loopy and in bat mode like the one in this pic. I was afraid bat cat would pop her stitches or fall on her sister.

We ended up carrying bat cat in our arms until the drugs wore off while nap cat slept it off.

Yes, all the time. What if something unwanted goes into my mouth while it’s undefended?

To make up for the Cats movie not having them?
