@LargeInStature_ I'm thinking about posting images of me in a cod piece or singlet and asking if it's garment friendly.
English
A nude bodysuit over your garments. That's wild ngl. I would have never thought to do something like that in a million years.
I steered clear of the conversion up until now. I saw the photos. I was like, how can she possibly call that garment-friendly.
Seems sus. Like those Jewish people who have all the tricks for getting around their commandments.

@StraightFlorida I can share what my Dad (1928-2016) did. He grew up in Card Sound. He grew up eating mantee, sea turtle (he made us kids taste it) and gator. Etc. He brought a little (3-4 ft) dead gator home for us to look at 1975 ish.

Real Floridians only.
What’s the most Florida thing you’ve ever done?
Don’t be shy — I already know half of you are guilty as hell 😂

@RetroCoast You'll need to add peanut butter, sauerkraut, and potatoes for a complete diet for the kids. Or maybe a cheap multivitamin.
But clearly you are on the correct track.

End SNAP.
Replace it with monthly distributions of dried beans, powdered milk and rice
See how quickly people go back to work.

@JackLinFLL @RyanWeather My husband is the same way, I like to run the ceiling fan on and off during the night - love remotes

@IrisOcala @RyanWeather The ritual at every sleep over growing up was swim until 10pm or the neighbors complained lol. I'm good in any heat for hours as long as I have been in the water 5 minutes. I hate fans. Waking up with a dry nose and mouth is worse than sweating to me!

Temperatures will push into the 90s in London, England by Mon/Tues as "heat dome" suffocates Europe with oppressive, dry air.
Few in Europe are allowed air conditioners so any hours of brutal 90°F heat may overwhelm infirmaries.
Drink plenty of fluids (minus alcohol)

@SecKennedy @ONC_HealthIT When my gyn retired I could have my records sent to a new dr for free but they they were going to charges me $100 or so to send them to me. That was crazy.
English
As a patient, you have a right to access your medical information. If a doctor, hospital, or other health care setting has blocked access to your medical record or test results, you should let HHS know and report it through the @ONC_HealthIT's Report Information Blocking Portal at healthit.gov/report-info-bl…
Your voice is important as HHS cracks down on health information blocking.

@JackLinFLL @RyanWeather I also grew up w/o AC in S FL, I remember going to bed w a big cup of ice water and fighting w sis over the fan. Our rudimentary pool (no filter system, we drained it every week) was a life saver. We lived in our bathing suits over the summer.

@RyanWeather Pre-AC Floridian here. Don't they have pools in jolly old England?

@NoblestCalling We've done a menu every week for years. We don't always stick to it 100% but it's a starting point for grocery shopping and we know what we have to work with.

I actually do think this is a big factor. If you weren't thinking about dinner earlier in the day then figuring it out when you're hungry and tired feels like a much much bigger task and you're more vulnerable to your cravings
Kayla@caryatis
people have this belief that their eating must be governed by whim. they must ask themselves what they "feel like" eating. follow the urge, pay no attention to the cost. obey the craving
English
Incredibly brave and selfless men like this were common once upon a time and no one would even consider what they did special. Just men being men.
Make Humanity Great Again.

La notizia più potente di questa tragedia non è soltanto il recupero dei cinque italiani morti alle Maldive. È un’altra. Gli speleo-sub finlandesi che hanno affrontato il buio della grotta… hanno chiesto di non essere pagati. Fermatevi un attimo a pensare a questo. Sono entrati in uno dei luoghi più pericolosi al mondo. Hanno rischiato la vita tra correnti, profondità e oscurità assoluta. Hanno visto da vicino ciò che nessuno vorrebbe mai vedere. E quando tutto è finito, non hanno chiesto soldi. Niente. In un’epoca dove molti farebbero qualsiasi cosa per guadagnare visibilità, loro hanno scelto il silenzio. In un mondo dove quasi tutto ha un prezzo, loro hanno dimostrato che esistono ancora persone che agiscono solo per umanità. Sami Paakkarinen. Jenni Westerlund. Patrik Grönqvist. Tre persone che ci stanno ricordando cosa significa avere una coscienza, un cuore, un’anima. Perché riportare a casa quei cinque italiani non era un lavoro qualsiasi. Era una missione umana. Era permettere a delle famiglie distrutte di poter dire addio. Era dare pace a chi era rimasto sospeso tra speranza e disperazione. Era trasformare un vuoto infinito in un ultimo saluto possibile. E certe cose non si fanno per denaro. Si fanno perché dentro di te senti che è la cosa giusta. Oggi viviamo circondati da gente che urla, ostenta, pretende applausi per qualsiasi cosa. Poi arrivano persone così. Persone che rischiano tutto… e non vogliono nulla. E allora forse l’unica reazione giusta è questa: stare in silenzio. E dire grazie. Grazie Sami. Grazie Jenni. Grazie Patrik. Perché avete ricordato a tutti noi che l’umanità vera esiste ancora. 🌊❤️ - Resilienza

@BasedMikeLee My grandfather (1894- 1974) was born and raised in Mexico, he was never a citizen of Mexico because they don't have birthright citizenship.

If someone walked into your home without your permission and gave birth in your living room, that wouldn’t obligate you to make that baby part of your family.
You’d be crazy to agree to such an arrangement.
The Fourteenth Amendment wasn’t written by crazy people.

Okay, you all lied. Today I tried my fourth Aldi’s location. The smell hit me on the way in, rotten produce. Went to the cheeses, lots out of date. The bread was cold and apparently thawing. The one nasty cashier was still there but this one had four self checkout machines. I used one, tried to leave, nasty cashier snapped at me to scan my receipt because “people steal.” Bonus: bags were available for 14¢. I got one. It seems thin, it’ll probably rip on the way into my house. No more tries from me. My daughter declared it the worst store ever.

🚨WHAT THE HELL?!!!
A North Carolina school district COVERED for a serial child mol*ster for 26 years...
...then quietly settled the civil suits for a MIND-BOGGLING $7 MILLION DOLLARS
NOT A SINGLE ADMINISTRATOR WAS CHARGED.
NOT A SINGLE ADMINISTRATOR WAS FIRED.
NOT A SINGLE ADMINISTRATOR WENT TO JAIL.
New Hanover County Schools has now paid nearly $7 MILLION for letting chemistry teacher Michael Kelly se*ually abuse MORE THAN 30 CHILDREN over 26 years.
During Kelly's 2019 sentencing, the prosecutor revealed that Kelly told police the SCHOOL DISTRICT had already investigated him for the abuse...
...and CLEARED HIM.
Without EVER contacting law enforcement.
The NC Attorney General opened a FOUR-YEAR investigation into the district.
He confirmed: "Administrators failed to protect children."
...but the statute of limitations had run out.
Every single school administrator kept their job and wasn't even charged.
This is genuinely one of the most shocking cases I've ever read.
The final payout was was nearly $6.8 MILLION... and the last portion of that was just paid last week.
Absolutely horrifying.

@queputasmano @FiredUpCoug I think my Dad graduated HS in '47 and my Mom in '51.

@queputasmano @FiredUpCoug no it does not. I mostly grew up in the 70's. My parents grew up in the 30's and 40's.

What is your biggest piece of advice for a newly married and sealed couple?

On the subject of insane spending habits, once in a due date group I saw a woman ask if $3000 was too much to spend on a 1st birthday party because she had spent that much and her husband was upset.
In another one, when we were still pregnant, a woman asked how many outfits of each size she needed to buy if she never wanted her son to wear the same outfit twice.

@Brick_Suit At the time my husband worked at a small radio station and was able to go to a Freedom Train stop and interview them on air.

Back during the Bicentennial in 1976 we had a thing called The Freedom Train.
Yes I put a penny on the track.

My fellow Latter Day Saints, would you pick up a book with this cover?

@FiredUpCoug @queputasmano I'm 61 and grew up on the poor side of middle class in a family of 8 kids. My parents grew up in the depression. We rarely ate out and then it was fast food. There is nothing stopping the younger ppl from cooking at home.
English
@queputasmano I'm 40, and I live in the same reality as you. The difference is that I grew up in a recession that taught me to be frugal
