Consider tapering down the sugar. Smaller amounts will be better for your blood sugar without tasting like poison to you. If you add hazelnut or cardamom at the same time you cut the sugar in half, it won’t feel like you’re just depriving yourself of the nice sweetness

I’m old enough to remember people talking about “finding a cure for cancer” as the highest goal possible. (Yeah, nice work on the zebra mussels, but it’s not going to cure cancer, is it?) Here we are. With a glorious victory over cancer. Not just treatment, but real prevention. All praise and honor.

Are chub-rub shorts the same as shapewear? I thought “shapewear” is tight enough, and the cloth is substantial enough, to change your shape a little. Anything that covers my skin will prevent chafing, even my stretchy lightweight long underwear that peels off easily and provides zero support

It tastes like pumpkin to some people? To anyone? I thought the flavor was “pumpkin pie spice,” as in the spices you mix with pumpkin to make traditional American pumpkin pie. It’s very like the “apple pie spice” my grandma used to buy from the A&P.

The first time I voted in NY, 4 guys ran against Mario Cuomo (who there to never ever be a death penalty.) The Republican wanted very very limited death penalty. The “Conservative Party” candidate wanted somewhat less limited. “Right to Life” candidate wanted lots more criminals to get death penalty

Governor Parsons needed to pardon him. The previous governor (also Republican!) put the case on hold for more investigation. Parsons said it was important to stop stalling so the victim’s family has closure. (The victim’s family said they didn’t want the death penalty.)

You’re right about the risk of random generic crud. But grief also gets loaded with perfectly sincere wishful thinking. (I never came out to my dad. I want to believe it would be easy. That he’d understand and not cling to 1980s-mainstream attitudes…but he died in 1987 so I can’t know)
