'Trash'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Do you eat oatmeal? (Do you like oatmeal?)
I've worked here 9 months and 5 of my 25 coworkers have lost a parent in that time - one of them, both parents. Does that seem like a lot? Maybe it's just I have a lot more coworkers in their 50s than I have at previous workplaces.
It's 46 degrees and I've been so reset by polar vortices that I washed my car. Even had to take off my fleece. And it doesn't feel 'cold' outside to me.
It'll get all salted up within days, but it was making me nuts.
I have my fancy new sander! But now I'm dreading the dust.
I'm more concerned with the unregulated collection and aggregation of data done by the corporate world than I am the gov't's attempts to do the same. I know how (in)efficient and disorganized the gov't is.The corporate world has a much bigger, soulless incentive.

So true. And applies to pretty much everything they do, not just data collection.
Personally, as a relatively young and basically healthy woman, I wouldn't take a statin. I refused them when a doctor wanted to put me on them a decade ago (I was 40). They are hell on the liver. But IANAD.

Probably that, but still sad.
Also, stores track you by your cell phone. That was the other thing that was creepy.
I put on lotion today so I need to re-shower before I go get my mammogram.
Oy. Unconnected friends are debating in the comments section of a Facebook post. One of them flounced and blocked, and the other is all, "Would you just tell her that . . ." And, no. It isn't junior high. I won't be the go between so you can win the debate that you shouldn't have started in my post in the first place. We're all in our 40s, for goodness sake!
Yeah, a quick look at the NIH website about statins & red yeast rice is not reassuring: [link]
Effective RYR contains a statin and should be prescription only and could damage your liver. Or so I gather. I'm not enthusiastic.
I'm hoping that if I cut out dairy/red meat and eat even more steel-cut oatmeal (which I like, and I eat frequently) I can bring it down. Still, it's a drag. I suspect it's genetic, unlike my blood sugar levels which are high because I have an incurable sweet tooth.
I tell you, it's not the NSA we should worry about. It's companies.
Yeah, I guess I knew that. I does make me want to game the system a little more, so at least it's to my benefit. This requires thinking about what I'll want to buy next week, but I can probably manage that.
I could almost literally not be more proud of myself for changing the chain on my ceiling fan light. Go team doing stuff!
Not just the NSA. I worry about both. And line between the two is not as clear as it might appear in any case.
