Hey y'all:

I have a 1960s Del Pilar that was crafted for my grandfather in the 1960s in New York, was the guitar I heard my Dad playing when I was growing up, and is now in possession after he has now passed. It's been in a chipboard case for 60 years, but I'd like to get it into something more protective. I also would like to start playing it more, so this isn't a stash it away situation. I live in Kansas, I'm wondering about any kind of moisture control and if I should get some kind of specialized case or just grab a Gator. Thanks for your help!

I'm a child of the 80s and experienced the trends as such: margarine, synthetic fats, etc.

It seemed like the research got to the point where it made a lot more sense to eat "good" natural fats, so I pretty exclusively use butter, avocado oil and olive oil in my cooking.

However, I currently started calorie tracking in an effort to do what I can as I enter perimenopause and I'm a little surprised how crazy over in fats I am all the time. I feel like I eat pretty healthy, and I'm sure a big issue is that I view cheese as an awesome thing.

How big of a deal are fats as a macro and in calorie counting?

Just finished Crypt Custodian and enjoyed it very much! I haven’t replayed Sheepo in a couple years so I’ll probably start there.

I keep up on most stuff on this sub, but I’m always curious what I might be missing, especially new stuff. What should I play next?

Pretty sure it’s going to be Portland, but open to other ideas outside of Denver (ironically the Nuggets are our team, but we’ve spent a ton of time in Denver already).

EDIT: duh! It’s Breaking the Girl by RHCP. I was kinda mashing it up with Burden in My Hand in my head. Thanks for all the suggestions. Never been here before so dunno how to get the solved flair lol.

I might just be having a Shazam situation. Anyway.

What’s in my head but I can’t quite place: I swear it’s Soundgarden or Pearl Jam or someone that sounds like them. Six eight time signature. Driving beat that is toms based (but could be conga, I’m started to lose the thread).

I listened to a bunch of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam and couldn’t find it. Help lol.

That thread always makes me feel better so here we are!

I have two dogs: a 6 year old golden and an about to be 1 year old shepherd mix. Lately, the shepherd mix just isn't interested in her kibble. She's still very interested in treats, and will eat it if she's hungry enough, but she's kinda whatever about it.

The issue is, we're pretty sure she has chicken allergies and we have celiac in the family so we need gluten free if possible. She's been on PPP sensitive skin and stomach puppy (for now) which is not gluten free until we can transition her to PPP Sport 30/20 (which is "gluten free" it at least doesn't have wheat, barley or rye in it) which my golden is on. But PPP is pretty much the same in terms of everything else and she's just not into it. I tried switching her back to the PPP Sport puppy with chicken in it, but she was just more itchy and still not that stoked about mealtime.

I've tried adding some toppers, and she likes the toppers, just not the kibble. I'm wondering if there's a food I'm missing, or if we just go with it and she'll get hungry enough to deal. I really do believe the PPP Sport is the best food for her and for us long term, but I'm very open to suggestions! The great thing about PPP Sport is it still has grains, just not gluten.

I've been doing some work on recognizing my feelings and being honest about the root of them.

While my motivation is a billion percent pain and discomfort avoidance, I've only recently come to see clearly that the root of much of my anxiety is fear of pain because I made the wrong choice or got it wrong. Doing something "wrong" personally feels like death when I dig down. Which is a very 1 thing. And since I go to 1 in stress, and the thought of really feeling the feelings stresses me out, it all makes a lot of sense.

Not sure where to go with that info, but hopefully the recognition will help. And I would LOVE to hear from healthy 1s how they have found ways to deal with that fear.

Hi y'all! I've been using the methodology in Taking Charge of Your Fertility successfully for the last 17 years to not get pregnant. I will say, I believe my husband and I aren't very fertile, for we've done a good job with the methodology but haven't been perfect and no pregnancies.

I'm definitely entering or am in perimenopause (I'll be 44 this year). My cycles are getting a bit shorter, but I'm still ovulating and able to use my temp shifts to follow the methodology.

BUT I am now starting to freak out. Because I know at some point things are going to get even wonkier and it's going to get harder for me to fully know what's going on with my fertility. We very much do not want to get pregnant and I do not want to abort (I also live in a state where that is increasingly difficult to do even if caught very early).

I'm wondering about other's experiences? Do I push my husband to get a vasectomy? Do we just keep using the TCOYF method as I'm pretty good about paying attention to my body at this point? I feel silly for not thinking this more through before, but here we are. Thanks in advance!

Where I used to live (Fort Collins) had a spot with an amazing tempeh burger.

Got me wondering if there's one to be found in KC? I see a lot of impossible burgers, but I'm looking for tempeh or maybe black bean. Any places to recommend?
