My husband is quadriplegic, has been our whole marriage, so travel has been very difficult, and as we’ve gotten older (that toddler’s 30 now) it’s pretty much impossible. I agree with your point though, too many people put off traveling for retirement and then realize they’re not able to enjoy it.

I think you got autoincorrected from “deployable”

Well I will agree with you in principle, and stick to showers at home. The most enjoyable bath of my life was when I was about 8 months pregnant and we took a weekend at a very swanky hotel, our room had such a big closet our toddler set up the foldout bed in it as her own room. The bathtub was enormous, the hot water constant, the suds delightful, and I floated blissfully free of gravity. And yes, being able to just drain and rinse and refill so the toddler could swim in it, and know someone else would clean it for pay was a big part of the enjoyment.

Brilliant. Now help me figure out how to relax in the tub without thinking about how I’m going to have to clean the tub when I get out

That’s horrible.

If you have a bank of mailboxes that sticks out from the wall, you could try perching the “return to sender” envelope on top of the boxes, with maybe a post-it that says “Outgoing Mail” on it.

Since it’s important for health to consume some of the green stuff, it’s helpful to find out how you dislike it least. For instance, cooked spinach is just as revolting as raw, but you only have to swallow about a quarter of the amount because of shrinkage. Broccoli and Brussels Sprouts are better if you roast them until they mostly taste like brown. And shrinkage happens there, too.

Zucchini is a green vegetable that’s less offensive imho, and can hide in a spaghetti sauce without ruining it.

Don’t go with any recipe that “celebrates the delicious flavor” of anything you don’t already like.

You can also be your own mom and puree veggies into the gravy/sauce of your meat.

Anyway, good on you for eating the veggies first. It’ll also start filling you up, so the steak will feel more satisfying.

Maybe if you think real hard about a person going into a seizure and flinging themselves backwards, it’ll pop back in your head the next time you go to type “seize” and help you remember.

If you have all the lights on, that one little light won’t bother you as much because your pupils aren’t dilated.

I don’t know where you live but in California, the crows are native species.

Edit: so if they eat a sparrow they’re defending the environment

“Mysagonist” misogynist… Typo or am I missing a joke about agony under Stalin?

I’m not really part of this discussion but for a lot of people brought to the US as little kids, they don’t know anyone in Mexico, maybe don’t even speak or read Spanish well enough to get settled there on a moment’s notice

The fact they kept the lid the same size probably helps the deception, especially once there’s no old cans to compare it to. This could actually work out to be a good thing if people buy fewer sugary sodas while thinking they’re drinking about the same

The asses’ milk would moisturize skin. I assume a water rinse though, because old milk stinks and could cause a yeast infection.

The asp was legendarily her choice to commit suicide, though it was probably an Egyptian Cobra, if it was a snake at all. (Asp bite death is slower and much more painful than cobra bite death.) I have a theory that the asp legend depends partly on the fact it’s easier to rhyme “asp” than Egyptian Cobra. As for snakebite in general, I note that male artists have universally portrayed the snake biting her on her bare booby. That’s not actually a good way to get the venom quickly to the heart/brain/lungs, because boobies are mostly fat, but it makes good pornArt.

Should we be shaming him for his genderhumanoid-affirming care?

Oh don’t you hate that? Happens too often, especially typing on my phone and the cat or the spouse needs is asking for something so I’m rushing to finish and BLARGH! It’s ruined!

I guess I got here too late, but in a case like this perhaps the most helpful thing you can do is call ahead and warn everyone “the migra are coming, the migra are coming!” like some kind of modern Paul Revere. That way, the legal citizens can be ready to stall and be unhelpful while anyone with reason to fear can scatter. And if someone is legal but brown they can grab the papers that prove they’re not supposed to be scooped up as well.

Jokes aside, warm or hot horchata is yummy

Even Jon Stewart stopped short of actually saying “Nazi salute.” I was yelling at the screen “it was a fucking Nazi salute, SAY IT!”
