@ATXJane It's okay, I assure you, she gives not one fuck about gender :)

@corlin I miss the days when you could bounce a quarter off my ass.

@corlin Great tip! I used to do similar things when I rode my bike to work in 104°F temps (7 miles). I'd get my shirt wet and freeze it for a few minutes while I got ready to go, then put it on as I was walking out the door. Combined with almost solid ice in my water bottle (an inch of space at the top for just a little water because I'll want a sip before too much has melted) and pouring ice water over my hair, I stopped getting dizzy on trips.

@Oma_Trisha @holon42 The nibs are sugar free 'cause it's just raw unprocessed stuff. I don't know anything about working with them though.

@Oma_Trisha @holon42 Have you ever worked with the cacao nibs? I tried that brand of baking chocolate once, never tried to mess with my own chocolate again, but now I know it's that brand, apparently. The nibs though, I've been sprinkling them on my ice cream, I was shocked they weren't as bitter as the baking chocolate.

@LnzyHou @GaryPoole Oh, I just like causing chaos.

@LnzyHou @GaryPoole Lol, that's what I was going to say.

@ExecutiveFunction404 @Lucky188 This is true, I could only do the bulk thing because of how financial aid is set up. I recognized and appreciated that I could do that, and there have been times a lack of transportation meant I could only use a corner store. I didn't have internet at home either, and had to shop at school. It's a damn shame how many barriers some people have between them and basic needs.

@ExecutiveFunction404 @Lucky188 I wouldn't have been buying those spices though, that's a luxury item I would have done without, but likely the supplier just made the purchase possible in the hopes of more money, like was said. But I bought bulk spices, just not fancy whiskey flavored steak spice.

@ExecutiveFunction404 @Lucky188 Back when I was a single mother living on financial aid, I bought everything I could in bulk. I only got "paid" twice a year, so my lump sums were high, but I had to live off of 4 to 8 thousand a year (rent was free, had to pay electric). Money was so tight I'd compare the number of sheets on toilet paper rolls and number of loads in laundry soap to see how long it would last for everything I bought. I wouldn't have made it without bulk.

A good read.
