It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

Sickening.

Leviticus knew his hot dogs, after all.

Way to cancel a kosher hotdog, right?

Still not sure of the purpose of the cream cheese, but brat and grilled onions are a winning combo, and better than hot dog and grilled onions any day.

I love grilled onions, and have no doubt that I would be able to resist it under the circumstances you describe! But the mechanics mystify me: How do you smear cream cheese on a hot dog bun? A bagel has the structure to handle it…but but…

Would the Supreme Court rule that taking a bribe for a pardon was an "official act" by the president and immune from prosecution? I'm serious. If Trump announced he was selling pardons for $1M a pop, could anyone do anything about it, short of impeachment? (Which carries no prison sentence.)

My husband and I cared for our mothers, an aunt, and a BiL at the end of their lives, and all within the same 5-year window. “Caring for an aging loved one is a journey with no clear itinerary” or end date, and isn’t something anyone really wants to talk about. Article covers the challenges.
