Take a bath. Tidy-up (maybe that's a BRITISH expression, I'm not sure). Vacuum your room. Take a pain killer. Indulge - stream a really good movie. Have some chocolate.

R56 Were those tortillas the Mission brand perchance? The Keto Twins swear by these, and they're not any different to regular Harina tortillas to my taste. They still do contain wheat, so they're technically "dirty keto"... which makes them sound all the more sexier. I've tried making several recipes for home made, and they were vile, and somewhat stinky.

I started to buy those, R74. I opted for a brand called Nutri-Ricas Carb Watch tortillas with flaxseed. Only 4 net carbs. They looked healthier than the flour ones from Mission. I do like their regular street tacos; the flour and corn ones.
I was looking for La Banderita Low Carb Street Tacos.

R88, I have a bad habit of leaving kitchen cabinet doors open. For 10 years I lived with a bf who would come behind me and close all the doors. He complained about it constantly. One time as I was working in the kitchen, I'd open a cabinet door and he would stand next to me waiting for me to get what I needed out and then shut the door immediately.
Years later when I was living by myself, I noticed my kitchen cabinet doors were always open and I thought "who the fuck is leaving all these doors open?!"

My Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner (upright) isn't that old and it started to make a LOUD noise. I tried to use the online chat (Dirt Devil), nobody there. So, I called. The lady told me to turn it on and she listened to it. She said it is the belt and I hung up the phone. I undid 5 screws, removed the housing for the roller and belt. The belt was in good condition. However, I removed it and repositioned it (the belt) and the LOUD sound seems to have gone down. It was always loud compared to my old vacuum.
Anyway, now I wish I hadn't gotten rid of my previous vacuum (which had also gotten LOUD). I probably could have just replaced the belt. That vacuum was OLD and the belt was probably snapped.

Remember my downstairs neighbors with the multi-level bird feeder? Well, the squirrels have been eating most of bird seed. The top of feeder is near the first floor roof so they just jump on it. I woke up this morning and the feeder pole is at a very precarious angle. I don't think it's from the squirrels, although they should join WW. I wonder if a bear tried to pull it down. It's at an angle that makes it look like a vehicle backed into it.

^Not trying to be argumentative here, but I am a serious cherry aficionado. I tried, years ago, to freeze cherries so that I could enjoy them after the season ended. I tried doing them without water, and by freezing them IN water (to protect them from freezer burn). Both techniques failed: the cherries emerge, thaw out, and are nothing but tasteless, soggy mush...You MIGHT be able to use them ground up in a blender in a smoothie after freezing, but I don't think you'll get much out of just eating them as is.

During times of great stress in my life, all my lower eyelashes fall out. It happened the first time during Hurricane Katrina (I lived in New Orleans) and they grew back eventually, but the pandemic wiped them out completely. I'm a guy so I don't care about my eyelashes that much (and for whatever reason, my top eyelashes don't fall out). But this time my eyebrows also started thinning out.
So my doctor prescribed Latisse for my eyebrows and I'm 5 weeks into trying to regrow my eyebrows. I think it's working , but won't really know until 12 weeks.
It's a fun experiment. But I really gotta address the underlying stress, because one day it might be a heart attack instead of my eyelashes.

Are you watching "The Odd Couple" on Decades, R254? I discovered just last week that I get Decades, which made my happy because the cable company had stopped carrying Me TV. Early this week, I watched a couple of the "Honeymooners Lost Episodes" and discovered that the "trip to Europe" one-hour musical episodes from 1966 that I remember seeing as a kid (with Sheila MacRae and Jane Kean as Alice and Trixie) were color remakes of hour-long musical episodes broadcast live (in black and white) in 1957, with Audrey Meadows and Joyce Randolph as Alice and Trixie. They just recycled the scripts.

I asked a guy out and he said yes, as soon as his parents leave town.
So I asked "Is this a date?"
And he said "I'd prefer to not date my parents. Things would get messy"
So I replied "I'm meant is this a date for ME with your parents. Obv."
And he replied "Yeah, I think they'd be down for that".
So I replied "cool. I could be your new dad! (Or mom)l
I still don't know if it's a date, but I've had a 3 year crush.
Is it a date? I think it's a date. Unfortunately we're both aggressively sarcastic, so I can't be sure. 🤔

He didn't, r262!
The funny thing is, we tried to go out three years ago and I made the terrible mistake of choosing a crowded bar and all his friends were there. He introduced me to them, but then kinda ignored me, so I said I was leaving and he seemed surprised and I was like "fuck this guy! Jerk!"
But it's been three years and I want to meet him alone, somewhere none of his millions of friends will be. Friends are great, I'm glad he has friends. But I want an opportunity to spend time with him alone first. Then the friends can come back into the picture.
But I want it to be a date. I don't want it to be just a friendly drink somewhere.

The magic spot on my bathroom floor is a place where the floor is very slightly less flat than the rest of it. The floor is large tiles, and there is something about that little area that is very slightly irregular. I keep the scale away from there, it's cheating.

I started listening to my CDs again, on a real stereo instead of as ripped lossless song files in iTunes. I have around 700 CDs, which have been stored in dedicated cardboard boxes for the last ten years, along with an amp and a CD player that I'd also packed away. I bought new speakers in the spring, and now listen to entire albums, something I hadn't done in a long time, except for classical albums.
I enjoy the ritual of opening the CD case, taking out the disc, putting it into the waiting CD drawer, and pressing play. I'm glad I didn't get rid of them when I digitized the collection back in the oughts.
I still have hard drives attached to my computer with all my song files, and I still listen to them because it's just so easy to push a button without getting up from my computer.

I tried making a ginger chicken curry and created a bland meh. I tried to fix it by adding extra horseradish, chili, ginger, and peanut butter.
By the time i settled on a passible taste, I did not want anything involving ginger chicken curry.

I had tried a bunch of different things that didn't worked.
I went on Apple Community forums and started a thread (I already had an account). People offered a solution that I tried, but it didn't work.
Then, I went on Zoom Community forums. (I didn't even know this existed.) I just looked up "microphone" and found the solution. Solution was pretty easy to do.

The acorns are falling a mile a minute. Seems early to me. Western Canadian wildfires are bringing the smoke to New England on the current jet steam, can't smell it but the sky is hazy. I'm already spotting some fall foliage. Next thing I know it will be hibernation time.

Are there rules for posting on the underwhelmed threads? They're called "I want to be underwhelmed" implying that the original OP's intention was for you to post things that would be underwhelming to him, not that you lead a strictly underwhelming life.
Everyone gets underwhelmed and overwhelmed sometimes.
Could someone kindly link me to or provide a copy of the mission statement and bylaws please and thank you?

R521–I refer you to our motto: “Primum Non Superobruo” or First Do Not Overwhelm.
All else derives from this.

The archivist tells me I was too hasty. Superobruo means “Overwhelm” in the sense that Caesar’s legions “overwhelmed” the Gauls. The correct motto is “Primum Non Turbo” and is more correctly translated as First Do Not Whelm

I’m not a science doctor,R523, but “Primum Non Turbo” would be easy to mumble when hungover or sleepy.
Perhaps, it could become a benediction - sending people toi Panera followed by a stop at SuperCutz.

Funny, ‘Primum Non Turbo’ made me think of a really good grilled cheese with smoked ham I had in Santa Cruz, CA about 20 years ago. It was on their breakfast menu and I had waked n’ baked that day…
It was so good, I should go back. I’m hungry just thinking about it.

It's the end-of-the-season zucchini surplus. I keep seeing recipes for various baked goods, including desserts, that incorporate zucchini. All of them sound as though they would taste a lot better if you omitted the zucchini.

Last night on TCM I watched "The Opposite Sex," the 1956 musical version of "The Women." Dame Joan Collins, who played the Joan Crawford role, was on hand to share memories. I had never seen it. If you pretend that it's not really based on "The Women," it doesn't seem as bad, but it still isn't good. In the Mary Haines role (called something else), June Allyson really made me appreciate Norma Shearer.
