Even the olive 🫒 emoji has a pimento…why did this never become a standard for any varieties of black or any other olive? (I don’t mean the other randomly stuffed olives with garlic or bleu cheese or what have you, just why did pimentos get added to green olives alone?) I know that you can get green olives without the pimentos, but it’s much more common to see them with pimentos. How did a piece of roasted red pepper become the gold standard?

So, I get out of the hospital hopefully tomorrow. I know I’ll need to go home and make dinner, and that non-hospital food will be a real relief. I need something that will be low-ish effort, just enough for 2-4 servings so I can freeze some, preferably NOT soups/stews/stuff that will be hot in a hot kitchen in a hot month. No dietary restrictions, but definitely needs to be budget friendly. Ideas?

I have five items posted on FB marketplace right now, for very modest prices, no shipping. But 3 times in the last week, various people have messaged and asked, “Do you ever come to (location 1 1/2 or 2 hours away)?”

Well, no, I don’t just randomly travel there, and if I’m not willing to ship, I don’t know why you think I’m willing to drive that far. Is this a new scam — lure a person a long distance away and then harm them or rob them or something?

My situation is that I have not worked since 2023. I have been battling cancer, but I am now (finally) in remission and mostly recovered — I even have hair again. What I don’t have is a job, and everywhere I have applied, I’ve been told I’m over qualified. (Have 2 masters degrees) I do use a cane and can’t stand or walk for long…but I’d be perfectly fine for an average desk job. Any hints, suggestions, or just sympathy?

Yes yes, I am yelling at clouds. But why,why, is EVERYTHING, every video, commercial, tv program, etc, ASMR now? I know that is appealing to a niche group of people…but definitely not me. It’s ok if I’m watching a cooking show and a knife clicks or a pan sizzles…but it goes so over the top sometimes! Is it just me?

ETA: I see a LOT of videos on social media specifically marked ASMR…so I don’t just mean it happens while watching TV — but that it is a marketing ploy.
