@Sassafrass_84 No!

Just had a derp moment with the hubby. Our kitchen sink broke, and the plummer can't be here until Monday. The hubby said to grab a tote and take it outside so we could wash dishes. I really didn't want to do that, and then I remembered.....we have a dishwasher. We have a DISHWASHER!!!! YESSS And I have no idea how to run it. 🤣🤦‍♀️🤣🤦‍♀️ Do you really have to rinse the dishes before they go into the dishwasher?

1 in 10 Americans now has an autoimmune disease. Lupus. Crohn's. Hashimoto's. Type 1 diabetes. Multiple sclerosis. Rheumatoid arthritis. Your doctor will tell you it's genetic. Or bad luck. Or that your immune system just "turned on itself." Harvard researchers disagree. A pediatric gastroenterologist at Mass General (Dr. Alessio Fasano) spent 20 years tracking down the missing piece. What he found changed the conversation. Every autoimmune disease he studied shared the same three ingredients: - A specific environmental trigger - Genetic predisposition - A leaky gut Take any one of those away, and the disease doesn't start. The gut isn't just where food gets digested. It's a one-cell-thick wall - The only thing standing between your bloodstream and everything you eat, drink, and swallow. When that wall is tight, your immune system stays calm. When it's leaky, Undigested food particles and bacterial fragments slip through into your blood. Your immune system sees invaders and attacks. But the particles look a lot like your own tissue. Attack the gluten fragments → attack the thyroid (Hashimoto's) Attack the bacterial fragments → attack the joints (rheumatoid arthritis) Attack them over and over → attack the nerves (MS), the gut (Crohn's), the pancreas (Type 1) This is called molecular mimicry. Here's what people report when they heal the gut wall: Skin clearing up Brain fog clearing up Digestion finally working Joint pain fading within weeks Autoimmune flares slowing down Energy returning after years of fatigue The things that punch holes in the gut wall: Gluten (yes, even if you don't have celiac) Glyphosate on conventional crops NSAIDs (ibuprofen, aspirin) Ultra-processed food Chronic stress Antibiotics Poor sleep None of these are rare. Most people have all seven running on autopilot. I've been saying for 30 years: almost every chronic disease traces back to a broken gut. The science keeps catching up. The good news? Unlike your genes, the gut wall is something you can actually rebuild. Comment RESTORE and I'll send you a free guide on how to heal the gut and calm the immune system naturally. P.S.

@bohopony @17TBIYTC23 What is sweet oil from?

@17TBIYTC23 I use to get bad earaches as a child . My grandma would warm sweet oil and put few drops in ear and a cotton ball to keep it from running out . Then she would have me lay my ear on a warm heating pad .

I posted around 4 hours ago about an ear ache. I did the garlic clove in ear for about 15-20 minutes. Gave it a break for another half hour or so. Then used peroxide in my ear for 30-35 minutes. Feels immensely better. Pain is down to a 2/10. Fullness is down to 3/10.

Whichever diy remedy you use, add Mucinex! When diagnosed with Covid, I lost my hearing in my left ear. It sounded really muffled after round of steroids and antibiotics. It was still there. Used Mucinex and regained hearing. Same thing happened to an 88-year-old man I was friends with.

My right ear is hurting so badly. Tried Sudafed. Tried Zyrtec. Poured some peroxide in. Still hurts. Still feels full. I’ll be damned if I’m breaking my “no doctor visits since 2019” over a friggin ear ache. The dizziness is annoying…and less than ideal. Thoughts?

@ElkinsCattleCo @JoePublicMe Ribeye!

We're asking kids to handle things most adults can't

Being able to grow and work as a productive citizen has been instilled by God. We see that set forth in Genesis. Handing someone a check without their personal sweat and blood investment will be devastating to their self-worth. This will fundamentally change society, and it will not be for the betterment of the country!

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

@witlegit Salt!

I'm making chili but I've tasted it so many times that I have no idea what it tastes like anymore. But I know it needs something.

@ThrillaRilla369 Hmmm…….@aol tops those!😂

If your first email ended in @ yahoo, @ hotmail, or @ msn… you have seniority on the internet.

@JoeDanMedia @naomirwolf Yes! I’ve had this for years! My son had 35K+ back surgery under CHM and only paid $1000 out of pocket

@naomirwolf Last Sept, I had a triple bypass open-heart surgery; bill in excess of $200k Entire bill now paid in full. I use Christian Healthcare Ministries (Christian healthcare co-pay) vs regular insurance. 5 Stars United Refuah HealthShare is a Jewish Torah-aligned healthcare co-pay.

I didn’t have health insurance and paid out of pocket and spent less than $1000 on doctors’ visits last year. I did not mind skipping the endless testing. Now I am applying for medical insurance and it’s $1000 A MONTH with a 5k deductible! What?? Last time I had insurance it was half this price. And there really aren’t’choices’. How does anyone afford to function in this system?

@Rainmaker1973 Yes! When raising my kids, I did that! Also includes in a baby shower gift!🎁

When you have a bad day at work but you don't smoke.

A community college professor taught the same study skills lecture for 30 years, and the video quietly became one of the most watched educational recordings on the internet. His name is Marty Lobdell. He spent his career as a psychology professor watching students fail not because they were lazy, but because nobody had ever taught them how their brain actually works under the pressure of learning something hard. The lecture is called "Study Less Study Smart." Over 10 million views. Passed around in Reddit threads, Discord servers, and university study groups for over a decade. And the core insight buried inside it has been sitting in cognitive psychology research for years, waiting for someone to explain it in plain language. Here is the framework that completely changed how I think about effort. Your brain does not sustain focus the way you think it does. Studies tracking real students found that the average learner hits a wall somewhere between 25 and 30 minutes. After that, efficiency doesn't just decline. It collapses. You're still sitting at your desk, still looking at the page, but almost nothing is going in. Lobdell illustrated this with a student he knew personally. She set a goal of studying 6 hours a night, 5 nights a week, to pull herself out of academic probation. Thirty hours of studying per week. She failed every single class that quarter. She wasn't failing because she lacked effort. She was failing because she had confused time spent near books with time spent actually learning. The 25-minute crash hit her at 6:30pm every night. She spent the next five and a half hours sitting in the wreckage of her own focus and calling it studying. The fix sounds almost too simple. The moment you feel the slide, stop. Take five minutes. Do something that actually gives you a small reward. Then go back. That five-minute reset returns you to near full efficiency. Across a six-hour window, the difference is not marginal. It is the difference between thirty minutes of real learning and five and a half hours of it. The second thing he taught destroyed something I had believed about how memory actually works. Highlighting feels productive. Going back over your notes and recognizing everything feels like knowing. But recognition and recollection are two completely different cognitive processes, and your brain is very good at making you confuse them. You can see something you've read before and feel completely certain you understand it, even when you couldn't reconstruct a single sentence from memory if the page were blank. He proved this live in the room. He read 13 random letters to his audience. Almost nobody could recall them. Then he rearranged the same 13 letters into two words: Happy Thursday. The whole room got all 13 without effort. Same letters. Same count. The only thing that changed was meaning. The brain stores meaning. Not repetition. The moment new information connects to something you already understand, the retention changes entirely. This is what the cognitive psychology literature calls elaborative encoding, and it is the mechanism underneath every effective study technique. The third principle was the one that hit me hardest, and the one almost nobody applies. Lobdell cited research showing that 80 percent of your study time should be spent in active recitation, not passive reading. Close the material. Say it back in your own words. Teach it to someone else, or to an empty chair if no one is around. The struggle of retrieval is where the actual learning happens. Reading your notes again is watching someone else do the work. His parting line has stayed with me longer than almost anything else I have read about learning. He told the room that if what he shared didn't change their behavior, they hadn't actually learned it. It would just live in their heads as something they had heard once and felt good about. He was right. And most people leave every lecture exactly like that. The students who remember everything aren't putting in more hours. They stopped confusing the feeling of studying with the fact of it.

We send men into marriage with a suit, a speech, and a stag do...then act shocked when they don’t know how to be husbands. A lot of pain could’ve been avoided by a simple letter like this from their dads the night before the wedding. A father’s letter about marriage to his son Son, Tonight you stand on the edge of a new life. Tomorrow you will speak vows that will shape your soul. You won’t just marry a woman; you will accept a mission. You will become a husband, and God will judge you as one. I want you to remember this first: marriage will not run on feelings. Feelings rise and fall like weather. Marriage runs on virtue, sacrifice, and truth. When you love your wife, you don’t merely feel warmth toward her. You will her good. You choose her good when you feel tired, when you feel misunderstood, when you feel tempted to withdraw. That choice will make you a man. Your wife will not need a perfect husband. She will need a present one. She will need a man who leads the tone of the home. When tension comes—and it will—your calm will act like a roof over her head. If you panic, if you react, if you argue like a boy trying to win, you will teach her that the home has no shelter. If you stay steady, you will teach her that she can exhale. So lead with steadiness. When she feels upset, don’t treat her emotion as an enemy to defeat. Treat it as information to understand. Ask yourself, “What is she feeling, and what does she need from me right now?” Name it simply: “You feel hurt.” “You feel scared.” “You feel alone.” That kind of clarity will lower the fire. Then you can move to action together. You don’t need to fix everything in five minutes. You need to make her feel safe with you in the storm. At the same time, do not confuse “being loving” with “being weak.” Love needs backbone. You must hold your frame: your dignity, your boundaries, your direction. Some days she will test you—not because she hates you, but because she wants to know whether you can carry weight. She wants to know whether your strength stays when her emotion rises. Meet those moments with warmth and firmness. Speak slowly. Stand tall. Choose clarity over sarcasm. A man who holds the line with kindness becomes trustworthy. Never tolerate contempt. Never feed it. If she speaks with disrespect, address it quickly and privately. Keep your voice low. Make your boundary clear. Then return to peace. When you allow disrespect, you train the marriage to rot. When you correct it with calm authority, you train the marriage to heal. Build trust through consistency. Keep your promises. Show up on time. Follow through. A wife relaxes when she knows your “yes” means yes. She will forgive many imperfections if she can rely on your word. Consistency will feel boring to you some days. It will feel like oxygen to her. Keep courting her after tomorrow. Don’t let the wedding end the pursuit. Keep dating her. Plan. Initiate. Touch her with affection. Speak admiration out loud. A woman blooms under steady cherishing. Romance does not compete with responsibility. Romance fuels it. When conflict comes, repair quickly. Pride loves delay. Pride loves silence that punishes. Choose humility instead. If you wound her, own it cleanly. Don’t justify. Don’t lecture. Don’t say “I’m sorry you feel that way.” Say, “I was wrong. I’m sorry. I will do better.” Then do better. That is how a man leads: he takes responsibility without theatrics. Make your home orderly. Create a shared mission. Decide what kind of marriage you want to build: prayerful, joyful, hospitable, disciplined, generous. Talk about money with honesty. Run a budget like a grown man. Learn the practical skills that prevent resentment: planning, chores, logistics, childcare. Don’t “help” in your own home. Own your share. Competence is love made visible. Now listen carefully about intimacy. Treat it as sacred. Your body will tempt you to take. Your vocation will call you to give. Lead with tenderness. Pursue connection, not release. Communicate. Learn her seasons. Respect her rhythms. Create emotional safety, because intimacy depends on trust. Guard your eyes and imagination like a man guarding a city gate. Porn and lust do not stay in a corner; they spread through a marriage like smoke. Purity gives you strength; strength gives her safety. Above all, put God at the center. Pray with your wife even when it feels awkward. Go to confession like a man who wants to stay clean. Go to Mass like a man who knows he needs grace. You cannot love her well on willpower alone. Grace will make your sacrifices fruitful. Virtue will make your love stable. Tomorrow you will speak vows. Speak them like a man laying his life on the altar. Then live them on Tuesday afternoons, on sleepless nights, on hard seasons, and in ordinary hours. Ordinary hours will build your marriage. Ordinary faithfulness will make you great. I love you. I’m proud of you. Now go and become the husband God calls you to be. Dad
