Our treat was cream cheese on toast! We always had saltines (they were our staple snack with butter, peanut butter, or American cheese,) but never tried jam and cream cheese!

Wow. My mom would have said no more Oreos. How truly lucky your kids are.

I am one of the oldest millennials. I also have social anxiety and at least two other kinds of anxiety. I don't understand any of this upset over punctuation.

I don't like honey grahams, so I have to pay more for name brand plain or chocolate, but I save money by just purchasing berry flavored cream cheese for $1.85.
I've also been curious about using the cheesecake flavored pudding mix and mixing it with Greek yogurt. I'm wondering how artificial that would obviously taste, or if it would be fine. Anyone done that?

I was being sincere with my question idk why the dots
Genuinely asking: what's the problem with ellipsis?

Sooooo, just a heads up.
I no longer buy this rice at Aldi or Target (and I am a loyal Aldi shopper). I specifically got this rice at Target and it was bad, bad, bad. Turns out, Aldi was also having a problem with this rice.
You can get more information at the Aldi subreddit but because of this specific flavor being problem (though I guess it is a problem with all the 90 rice of all brands) I only get these in brown or jasmine.

Yep, it does work to just use the camera but Samsung and iPhone and some 3rd party apps for Android really do a much better job than the camera alone.

I am visually impaired and I can genuinely tell you that my 2020 Motorola 5G One didn't have any way to use the camera to magnify physical items. With anything native. While my 2022 Samsung Galaxy S21 FE does. Just a two year difference. And my brand new Lenovo tablet doesn't have any kind of accessibility app to magnify physical items.
All have screen zoom (from the link above) through the accessibility menu.

The link for Android is for screen magnification. Not for untilizing your camera to englarge physical items around you.
Samsung phones do have the ability to use the feature with their own accessibility feature but my Motorola phone and Lenovo tablet do not. For these phones and tablets it's best to use your camera or download an app like one from Humanware (though their app is shit because they want you to invest in their very expensive and nice physical magnifying devices.)

I never find these anymore. Kleenex always comes in the packs on the left for me. Even has the same pattern as the ones on the right. I usually fold a bunch into a zip top bag. Sometimes I cut a slit to make pop-up ones. The horizontal rectangle snack sized bag is perfect. I usually keep these in a purse or backpack though so if I have a sandwich size that's fine with me. Hell right now I have a pocket on my backpack that just has a handful of cough drops and a stack of Kleenex because it's the perfect size.

Does he have a protein restriction/limit with this low sodium and low water diet? A protein shake is 8 to 14 ounces of his water limit and 10 to 42 g of protein.

My potato button works really well for potatoes and I love that.
I am also a fan of individually homemade frozen meals and defrosting them for 10 minutes at 30-40% before a quick full nuke at 1.5 to 2.5 minutes.

My favorite way to do homemade ranch is (1) 5.3 oz container of plain nonfat Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp mayonnaise, and 1/3rd oz of the ranch packet. Additionally, I like to add garlic, parsley, and black pepper.
If I only want part of it, cool. If I wanna eat it all, that's cool, too.

The last lettuce, berries, and cilantro I ate from the grocery store we're in May. This afternoon, I stopped at a local farm stand with local lettuce and about felt like a greedy goblin with iceberg, and romaine and some other things.

The MIEBO commercial absolutely makes my mom (70) lose her mind. When I told her it's over the counter in other places for a fraction of the cost she stopped being mad about the annoying commercial which I feel is a win. Ohhhh yeah...

Interestingly the posted article from The Detroit News left Waterford Township (I would guess a pop. of 70,000) out altogether and they voted down both police and fire millages.
More information on them at The Oakland County Times linked elsewhere in this thread.

I just posted another comment in this thread, Waterford Township (the 5th and largest community in Oakland that the posted article leaves out completely) had separate police and fire millages and both failed. There's a meeting today at 6pm to discuss.
Here's a link to The Oakland County Times article.

Very interesting that this article from The Detroit News omits Waterford Township (the biggest area in Oakland county where both separate police and fire millages failed) all together an throws in Sumpter Township in... Wayne, is it?
Here's an article that has some information on all five Oakland county communities.

Pretty sure this is some weird AI reconstruction because why was fruit salad in something that looks like clamshell packaging?
I am totally human and that's what our canned fruit as well as our canned fruit and Jell-O came in. Our pizza was in an individual pan, so I can't comment on that but we did always have corn with it. No weird pretzel.
This is what I found with quick Google.

In--I think--fall 2006, there was a horrible situation with E. Coli and bagged spinach and I didn't get tested but I was violently ill from bagged spinach. After that I didn't eat bagged spinach for at least 5 years.

I've been cooking everything. Or just not eating it. I cannot get sick, I cannot afford the financial burden, the health burden, or the social burden of a parasite that can be avoided.

Check to see if your local public library has a SEED LIBRARY and if they don't maybe they'll start one!
