I canceled my prime membership and stopped using Amazon entirely after I ordered something that turned out to be drop shipped straight from Walmart. But online shopping in general is a nightmare these days.

yup, I made minimum wage at a Krogers back in 2010 and the folks working there now are making the same $7.25 I was back then.

Whoa, neat! Apparently they sometimes show up just as blank spots on the Adult Swim TV guide, which I remember seeing in the past but had no idea what it meant. They even have a Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infomercials_(TV_specials)

Since that lima bean didn’t want to read what you wrote, I just wanna say I really appreciate it and you.

First of all, you’re making great steps by changing your diet and asking questions like this! Small steps are sustainable steps.

Canned beans and veggies will definitely retain a lot of their salt regardless of rinsing because of osmosis. You should be able to find low salt/no salt added versions of more common items like tomatoes and black beans - try tasting the difference for yourself! Properly salted things don’t taste salty, because salt will boost other flavors before you taste it. I’ll also echo the recommendation of frozen veggies, and if you have the time and patience for it, dried beans are super cheap and easy to make. But the most important thing is knowing what you can handle as a routine, so if canned is what works for you, then don’t be ashamed.

I love flatties. We had one who even managed to befriend the extremely territorial cat we adopted later in her life. It took her a few months, but they’d cuddle on the couch and follow each other around. So sweet.

This this. I’m in my 30s and have hopped around jobs for a decade, and now I’m considering going back to school for accounting. My first degree choice was biology, which I still love but it wasn’t at all practical.
