    Create your own action figure

    Some people have been generating action figures of a local politician who is currently under federal indictment for fraud, money laundering, etc. It's pretty funny. The images contain packs of money, a cell phone, and a yacht where the FBI video'd the guy taking bribes in a sting operation.

    Odd question from another autistic

    I think you're confusing fetal alcohol syndrome with autism. They are not the same thing.

    Odd question from another autistic

    You're lucky. I nearly died from taking aspirin, ended up in the emergency room and was shot full of epinephrine to enable me to breathe. That's an acute allergy that can cause death.

    That should be an Olympics competition event! Balancing an umbrella is fun, too.

    Thoughts on grocery stores? (I have a grocery store special interest)

    I just mailed our income tax returns and a check to the IRS at the local post office :( and then went next door to the Dollar General and bought a nice cauliflower and a couple of other things there. The little town I went to is basically a "food desert" so it makes me glad to see that Dollar...

    Chocolate poll.

    I love to go to the Ghirardelli factory, too! And wander around Fisherman's Wharf, eating seafood, looking in the shops, and then catch the trolley to Chinatown to eat some more and look in the shops there. San Francisco is one of my favorite American cities. Like New Orleans and New York...

    Did there used to be?

    Americans want more "personal space" than many other cultures. I don't want anyone standing a foot from my face and talking to me. I don't want anyone to sit squeezed up beside me unless it is unavoidable. I need my space. 🪐🪐🪐⭐🌟⭐🛰️🛰️🛰️👨‍🚀👨‍🚀👨‍🚀

    Recent news stories have been published about lead and other heavy metals in chocolate. Be careful where you source your chocolate.

    POTS and Orthostatic Hypotension

    For what it's worth - you can eat some saltine crackers and drink some fresh orange juice to get the same key electrolytes that are in commercial electrolyte drinks. Staying hydrated by drinking plain water is essential.

    Thoughts on grocery stores? (I have a grocery store special interest)

    I shop at Kroger for most of my groceries and occasionally shop at Costco for meats which I have to repackage in smaller portions for the freezer and to stock up on shelf-stable stuff like coffee and flour. My favorite stores to just wander around and look at everything are the local Asian...

    List just one thing you did today

    Compared with my house, your place looks so organized, neat and clean, and everything matches. I used to do better when I was younger. These days, I just can't get motivated.

    Tourette Syndrome...?

    I have trouble reading some posts, too. There are many possible reasons for what look like a random mix of words, including English is not their first language and language processing issues. Sometimes others' cultural references are unknown to me. I thought Tourette's affects spoken...

    List just one thing you did today

    I understand you! Our dining room table currently is covered with: Husband's project glueing together something or other made of wood, my self-watering microgreen seed tray, vases and flower frogs from flower arrangements, Easter basket stuff for g'kids, seed packets that I need to plant, two...
