I know there are a few posters who avoid quoting him so others won't see the posts. I don't think anybody expects everybody to do that. And in some cases the response is pretty amusing, so there's that.

Reminds me of the BRAT diet for when you're recovering from an intestinal virus-along with flat ginger ale. And butter on saltines is awesome.

Coming soon: A new documentary called John James and Me. (actually think it would be interesting)

I definitely do my best to support companies that are more in line with my values, when I can. There are so many 'small' companies that are actually owned by much larger ones that it can be hard.

She definitely seems to not be in a good place right now.

The combination of Botox needing to be retouched, and the lack of makeup could definitely explain how she looks-though I also wouldn't be surprised if it was 'touched up' or taken in a light so as to make her look older and/or more tired. A lot of women are unrecognizable without their makeup. It's a bit frightening TBH. As for the effects of long term use of Botox, or any other cosmetic procedure to take care of wrinkles? Let's just say I think that growing old gracefully should make a comeback-based on how they look to me, since I don't know of any studies.

The only thing I can think of is they're afraid of the competition.

That's what I don't understand, either. And some people would be happy to round up ALL immigrants, regardless of status.

Same. I'm old and cranky and if I had a lawn I'd be yelling at people to get off of it-so some things aren't worth seeing. If somebody wants to accuse me of 'not listening to somebody else's point of view' then so be it. Did someone say there's a way to make it so you don't see quotes of a person who you've blocked?

I have a hard enough time keeping track of NY/NE politics, tbh. But if Governor Healey were in Italy on a 'work trip' and decided to party it down with a group of Olympic athletes I'd be embarrassed.

Not only that, but the food will most likely be much, much, better

You mean those comments about his health that sound suspiciously like something he would have written? LOL.

Even though most of us know that Trump would never use up so much of his finite energy.

That was my top guess, based on what a couple of people I knew with vertigo went through. Let's hope something ends up working. I know how important hearing is to you!

Isn't Patel supposedly in Italy for a 'work trip?'

That really sucks MCS. Has anybody given a guess as to what it might be?

Sophie and Hans Scholl, of the White Rose resistance, were executed by guillotine 83 years ago today in Munich.

Oddly enough, I can't find a link to the actual study-and I do recommend going right to the source whenever possible (I can think of a couple of cases in which the paper that supposedly 'proved' something didn't exactly do that). And it looks like I either mis-remembered the study (I remember discussing with my doctor one that found that between 2500-3000g of sodium per day is fine for most people, but my memory often leads me astray). Here's the link to a summary of the study: https://www.phri.ca/the-lancet-publishes-sodium-results-of-pure-study/

Interestingly, it has been found that the upper limit for sodium (for most people, there are some who are genetically more sensitive to sodium than others) to remain healthy is a fair amount higher than the RDA.... and yet something tells me that restaurant food triples even that.

Yikes! I can't figure out if this should be read to circus music or the theme song to Soap. I guess the latter, so it can end with "Confused? You won't be after this episode of Soap."

I think most people still see eating out as a once in a while treat, even though many people eat out or get takeout more often than they'd care to admit. So with that thinking, they treat restaurant meals as a 'cheat' meal.

Sorry to hear that really sucks... I hope the epidural helps.

And this is not just here. In Europe, there are fake videos of "Islamists" cooking and eating-you guessed it-cats and dogs. Sound familiar? What's scary is that there are some who believe they're real.

I met him once when he was campaigning for President in the 80s. To say that he was a larger than life presence, and a powerful speaker, is an understatement.

Theoretically, I believe Auschwitz was designed to hold about 50,000 prisoners-keeping in mind that most of these prisoners were destined for the gas chambers. Something that holds 100,000 people is either going to be a city in itself or horribly overcrowded.
