Ay caramba, no need to call me out like that

I’m not sure, and I know it depends both on the severity of a person’s IBS and the type of magnesium supplement. But I drink a ton of water so I’d hate to have it supplemented with magnesium!

Magnesium can cause diarrhea so, as someone with IBS, no fucking thanks.

I’m not OP but here’s a sweet potato & lentil turkey chili that I make in the crock pot. It’s easy and really good!

Pineapple with red onion, black olives, and jalapeños

Baked chicken breasts with seasoning of your choice (tonight I’m planning to do a blend of smoked paprika, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper)

Salad (mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado; for dressing I do blood orange olive oil with fig balsamic vinegar)

Farro cooked in spiced chicken broth (I use reduced-sodium broth and add paprika and a small amount of onion and garlic powders)

Freshly brewed iced tea with mint

This is not the first time you’ve posted about Ashlyn. She’s a 14 year old so there’s a high likelihood that she’s genuinely intolerable. But aren’t you in your twenties? Maybe don’t fixate on her so much. Lena needs to figure this out for herself.

Is this your ex Sam, who you posted about only one week ago, asking whether it would be a mistake to get back together? And the general consensus was to stay away because he’s clearly not into you?

Tori Amos - Yes, Anastasia

Ouais is more like ‘yeah’, not ‘yes’.

No, they both voted for Harris.

The thing is, my in-laws have plenty of money in the bank, plus two adult children who are very successful and would help them out if needed, no questions asked. It’s not entirely rational - I think it’s the uncertainty more than anything that has them scared. Which really sucks. :(

Didn’t you already post about this?

It’s really sad - my in-laws are in their mid-to-late 70s and are currently applying to jobs because they’re convinced that Social Security will go away. I hate to see older folks so scared by this lunacy.

I go grocery shopping once a week, and I’m buying just for two adults. Most things I get at Aldi, and some things at Giant if I don’t like the Aldi version, or Aldi doesn’t sell it. I do make a list ahead of time, but I buy mostly the same things every week.

A typical aldi trip includes bananas, berries (rasp or blue usually), avocados, some kind of fresh green veg for dinner (typically spinach, asparagus, or green beans), bread, jaffa cakes, coffee, low-fat cheese, laundry detergent & fabric softener, windex, dishwasher pods, toilet paper, canned fire-roasted tomatoes (soooo many easy recipes with these!), sparkling water, eggs, egg whites, almond milk, yogurt, and pierogies. Then I typically get my meat at Giant (most of Aldi’s meat is pretty gnarly), plus things like toothpaste, evaporated milk, sugar packets, paper towels, canned lentils (my Aldi doesn’t carry these???), and a little bouquet of flowers. And then some random things I buy on Amazon, like my tea (yorkshire gold), farro, protein powder, low-fodmap ingredients, etc.

I spend about $150 a week unless I’m out of something expensive like paper towels.

Thank you!

Yeah I’d be interested in seeing that.

I think bird flu is a convenient excuse for price gouging, just like we saw during pandemic. He could easily address that if he wanted to. He just doesn’t care.

Girl. Have some dignity and kick him to the curb because it’s clear he’s not really interested in you. He probably wants you on standby in case his dick or his ego need stroking. Don’t make excuses for someone who’s mistreating you, especially at such a young age - you’re just inviting dysfunction. You can and will do better, but not if he’s in the way. Good luck.

I think you mean the fedivwrse?
