Drusas

It’s super common in Japan. I wasn’t a fan…

New Jersey uses taxes and tolls.

If you do, you should take a leisurely kayak or canoe trip down one of the little rivers in the Pine Barrens. Very relaxing and somewhat unique in that the water has a red tint from the cedar trees (what we call “cedar water”).

Tuna with saltines or rice or in sandwiches is pretty affordable, too. That was my good go-to. Then of course there were things like toast with butter and garlic powder. Maruchan ramen, naturally (none of that Top Ramen nonsense). Oh, and french fries! A potato is cheap.

I use one to protect my bread products from pets.

I had to switch to using a bread box because my dog would eat anything on the counter, and I didn’t really have anywhere else to store my bread/bagels without really rearranging my limited cabinet space.

When I was in college, I was hit by a car. I was poor and had no health insurance. That led to endless calls from debt collectors. That led to anxiety related to the sound of a phone ringing. I have not answered the phone to unknown numbers since then. My life is better for it.

I only occasionally listen to voicemail, and most of the time, it’s a doctor’s appointment automated reminder. The rest of the time, it’s usually spam. No point listening.

Anyone who knows me and needs or wants to get in touch with me knows how to do so and knows not to do so by phone call. Anyone else is unimportant.

Women get ovarion torsion.

They ruled that, for tax purposes, it counts as a confectionary because of the high sugar content. They did not rule that it is literally cake.

I also have the same clock. It works perfectly.

A sun lamp is even better to wake up to, as long as there’s no one else in the room who you will be waking up with it.
