commemorative stemless wineglass because it is also plastic and therefore difficult to break

Ah, yes, an exception to my "stemless wineglasses, WTF?" stance is the plastic stemless wineglasses for camping. (I mean, I would just drink wine out of my coffee mug while camping -- and have done so because I am SO CLASSY -- but if you're stocking your camping kitchen gear, those seem cool to have.)

The problem with fiber supplements is that they cause gas and cramping in some people.

Citrucel is supposed to be the best for not causing gas and cramping. (Source: I have IBS. I have taken a lot of fiber supplements, and Citrucel was the best of the bunch in terms of no gas or cramping.) (YFiberMV.)

Thanks, everyone. I also reached out to my mom, as she's dealt with this, and largely converging with you guys. B's all " I'll just drink lots of fluids" and I'm, ummmmm.... One DAY of minimum opioids was gastrically unpleasant for me and I drink tons of water. His dosage is like 10x mine per day. He's bigger than me, but still.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have a Lexan stemmed wine glass for camping. Which is presently kept at my cubicle because camping equipment and office supplies overlap to an unnatural degree in my brain.

I don't always drink wine, but when I do, I generally drink it straight out of the bottle. Or whatever resealable containing I bought it in.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

As to wineglasses, I wouldn't care if it was stemless for a red wine, but would dislike it with a white wine and with champagne it would be NO.

It's all about your hand warmth on the glass warming the wine. Champagne is much better cold so you hold the stem of your flute.

Red wine you can drink from a tumbler. No biggie.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

If I'd known wine was such a big part of it, I would have wanted to go camping before now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

How much are you really holding the glass when you're drinking at home, though?

I'm being aggressively sat on. But he's gonna be booted in a moment so I can go to market.

Just realized I'm getting on a plane in 2 weeks. Wait, what? It's the crazy season already?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Benefiber is what I've used before but I do think Citrucel is way more mild.

Grace has a cold (it's that time) and my throat hurts. I don't want to be sick.

So, one of my classes has created art lessons for the kids in our lower school. We have been working with 4th-5th grades and 2nd-3rd grades and one K-1st class. It's funny because when I walk through the lower school quad, the littles yell my name or come up and hug me. There is such a divide between upper school and lower school that all last year I remained unknown. There should be a way to bring us together to work more often.
