I had real, knock-down, drag-out flu in like 3nd grade.

Still remember the beginning, not the ending and being ill part.

Hope it helps!

Salt and feermentation can be a yes.

Also an absorb-able form of magnesium can help? Like Magnesium Glycinate?

I have Paula Red, Macintosh, and Arkansas Blacks in my fruit drawer. Hoping I get to eat them!

Could you take something to control the histamine response?

Feel better soon!

Beta reading for @patriceauthor.bsky.social for a new Gravesyde Village Mystery.

Of COURSE there are bodies cropping up. This is a Regency mystery with a dollop of romance. 🌸

Love all the silos Pat jumped into, adding so much true history to the story. (Yes, some Gravesyde Priory folk show up!)

I haven't gotten to her first yet! :(

That, and the Mystery Writers' collection Wilson did the cover for, definitely brought him to my attention. I loved the illustrations in "Night."

An addendum to yesterday's thread: I specified food stamps as opposed to SNAP yesterday because when I was a kid, all the "fraud" bogeymen were people selling their stamps. They were physical things that could be sold or stolen, and couldn't be traced.

This is a real point.

This might be a bad time to get on an airplane in the United States.

Well, Lancaster has a serious problem. No one looked it up on Wikipedia?

I'm looking for clean air places to move to, and now I have to look carefully for this 💩 in the weeds. :(

I hope leaders in the city jump on this with both feet, hard. The bishop needs to dig out some things.

. . . . Can't say this is wrong, exactly.

Say, 8/10 no public notes. . . .

Shopping for ACA health plans this open enrollment? Here's what to know This year, with Congress in a stalemate about subsidies, Affordable Care Act marketplace consumers will need to be more informed than ever to navigate their health coverage choices.

I thought there was some good advice here.

Biggest thing (for me) was--what are the one or two things you MUST have from your insurance? That would break you? I chose 100% hospital coverage at a certain point. My ACA was based on that. But I didn't have any Rx or kids.

Have a snack cat. Chip mattress!

Note on people coming up with reasons the restaurant business can't lure folks back.

Some of us cannot come back until air circulation in restaurants is better. Yes, that lame old "sick people out there" line.

I know people who don't mask--but they avoid inside events when they can. Events=sick

Not for people who once had WP and didn't kill their email when they stopped their subscription.

If it doesn't say GIFT ARTICLE across the top when I go in, it's a conditional share. I just read the first paragraph they show me and close the window.

Metaphor! They were taught since infancy that their fathers were this man, and to look for it.

But in the real world they work in, all the Tells they subconsciously notice are right there. They shouldn't date these men, but aren't meeting men who would be better partners? (I need to read this.)

Was the cover too humor for him? I could see wanting a bit of the edge of the tale on the cover, too. But this made people pick up the book even if they didn't know Roger's work.

Marketing's job is, catch the eye.

A friend says do a second cover layer, the nuance. But it often doesn't happen.

Actually, I may be a crazy person who hasn't interacted with civilization for years. Not intentionally, but Life, Interrupted & current US medical/insurance dance.

Plan to return from the wilderness with Discoveries.

Stay tuned.

Yup. They may once again be the key to stopping this.

At this point, is the topic just going to make them meaner and more frustrated? Because their paradise is splitting at the seams as we watch.

So yes--the big S is the right word.

Thanks for mentioning--

I cancelled wapo so will look for it. My first thought is--the Evans raised the men and women to certain molds. But the men are not being raised as their dads were. So if the women were indoctrinated to that 50s man--they're looking for him.

Evans created this problem.

I have some large distances, in theory, to travel the next six months, and it's like every door is closing.

No blame to the controllers, their situation is nuts. But it does feel like a wave of people are going to be getting on trains. And there's risk there, too. :(.

Hope not. At this point I will run to Dreamwidth and buckle down to pay and learn. Sigh.

I thought we had that feature. In stages, even.

Delighted to say that an updated and expanded version of my series on one of the most extraordinary acts in aviation history will be running on The Up Front over the coming weeks.

And even better: it's now completely free to read.

I kinda hate to have my tree nabbed by someone for an ad or something, I don't have software to watermark it. But I can pop you a section of tree via DM, if you'd like. :)

Or not. Whatever makes you smile tonight. It's been such a year for us all, and it's not over. I Get It.
