A Quick and accurate overview of a common illness
For an illness that affects so many people, doctors are horribly ill-informed and unprepared. Since me/cfs is often a result of a viral infection, the pandemic has only made it worse. You probably know at least one person who has it, and you can get it yourself any time, no matter how healthy you are now.
I've rewatched Haven several times. I love everything about it, the characters, the acting, the writing, the music, and the overall vibe. It somehow manages to be tragic, terrifying, and wholesome, all at once.
I like to refer to using the bidet as cleaning my undercarriage.
Also, a can of cheap shaving cream to spray on the tub wall. It's a fun, soothing distraction for a little one. I used to sometimes defuse my kid's tantrums like that.
Mrs Bradshaw's Handbook, by Terry Pratchett comes to mind, although I suspect you aren't looking for a book about a train journey through an imaginary landscape.
I was just thinking recently about the time I got a faceful of strychnine as a small child prowling through the hall closet while my grandma's back was turned. It was just sitting on the shelf, white powder in a little glass jar, no safety cap, no Mr Yuck sticker. It might not have even had a label. I happened to knock it over, and I can still remember the taste nearly sixty years later. We used to live so dangerously.
Tasting American trees
Such a fascinating project this guy is doing. He's making the most unusual breed study I've ever heard of, making ice cream from the trees of every US state. Plus woodworking.
My sweetie and I are going to fire up the pellet smoker. We bought a whole bunch of ribs, beef and pork, and they're currently salted, and resting in the fridge (always dry brine your meat.) We'll divide most of it into vacuum seal bags to freeze, so we can enjoy BBQ meals for a few months. A wonderful Valentine day tradition.
