I canceled my prime membership and stopped using Amazon entirely after I ordered something that turned out to be drop shipped straight from Walmart. But online shopping in general is a nightmare these days.

yup, I made minimum wage at a Krogers back in 2010 and the folks working there now are making the same $7.25 I was back then.

Oblivion, actually. Skyrim didn't come out until that November.

Wow, same here. I gave up June 30, 2011.

It's from Generations.

It's called a ticked tabby pattern! My last kitty had it, as well. Each individual hair is striped!

Since that lima bean didn't want to read what you wrote, I just wanna say I really appreciate it and you.

For those who can't read music, the song on the poster is (of course) the TOS theme, specifically the iconic part following the voiceover where "STAR TREK" appears on screen. In other words, what you expected it to be. 😉

First of all, you're making great steps by changing your diet and asking questions like this! Small steps are sustainable steps.

Canned beans and veggies will definitely retain a lot of their salt regardless of rinsing because of osmosis. You should be able to find low salt/no salt added versions of more common items like tomatoes and black beans - try tasting the difference for yourself! Properly salted things don't taste salty, because salt will boost other flavors before you taste it. I'll also echo the recommendation of frozen veggies, and if you have the time and patience for it, dried beans are super cheap and easy to make. But the most important thing is knowing what you can handle as a routine, so if canned is what works for you, then don't be ashamed.

I love flatties. We had one who even managed to befriend the extremely territorial cat we adopted later in her life. It took her a few months, but they'd cuddle on the couch and follow each other around. So sweet.

I agree with you. T'pring really shows a lot of care & compassion here, and I think it makes her decision at the end of the episode make more sense. We obviously know how this relationship works out in the end, but it really has me interested in how/if Chapel affects the outcome in further SNW episodes. (I'm choosing to believe T'pring hadn't already scoped out Stonn as a partner by this episode because that seems too cruel for her, but I guess we'll see.)
