I guess being that small even if they were edible it wouldn't be worth it shelling them and such. I do lament there being no full 5 gallon photo πŸ˜„

I'm here but I'm a Canuck so I can't do diddly squat, sorry

Dumb ass question, but are the seeds edible (like pumpkin or poppy seeds etc)?

Are you doing okay? I feel kind of the same way I think.

I wish you luck trifling toad🀞 Escaping a situation with just people is difficult, with additional animals makes it so much more stressful. Especially cats since they have to be put in a crate and need a litter box etc.

If it's only for a tattoo, maybe post pone it? Are you driving there? Only asking cuz plane ticket cancellation vs driving is different cost wise if you can't get a refund. I guess it wouldn't hurt to call the place and ask them what they think is appropriate.

I never heard of Gene Tierney, I'll look at your links. I can't imagine what it was like for them to know that an ignorant fan caused their child to have such difficulties for the rest of their life. I got MMR booster a couple months ago and my husband is currently getting bloodwork done to see what his titre levels are too. There's been a concerning uptick of cases where we live and the MMR booster is in shorter supply now so our doctor doesn't want to give them out unnecessarily if he doesn't need them.

Thank you very much for your well wishes, it was nice reading a kind comment (even if I am 2 months late).

They're still suffering? Why does it matter about USA funding the military in regards to what I am saying.

At least 16000 dead this last year in Sudan.. look it up, educate yourself. It's really horrific what those human beings are enduring. I'm also not American yet there's big protests disrupting our cities, so your country providing money to whoever doesn't mean anything to me.

Why do you care about the Palestinians or Israelis or whatever but you aren't putting the same effort into caring about the Sudanese suffering? It seems extremely hypocritical.

I guess my point is more that it's hypocritical for all these big protests over this one war but they aren't caring about this other war.

I want you to stop and think about something. The same indifference you are showing towards the Sudanese is the same indifference that a lot of us North Americans trying to live our life feel towards this stuff happening in Gaza.

You don't "care" about them (unsure of wording, maybe "don't think about them" is better?) the same way we don't care (or can't gather the mental energy to worry about what is happening across the ocean when we are struggling to take care of our families with high rent and high food prices and our own problems). We have our own life issues and while it's no where near as awful as what's happening to the people in either of those regions, it's hard to gather energy to care beyond "oh that's terrible" when you are struggling in your day to day life.

Stopping up a major bridge isn't going to help anyone. If they want to make a difference perhaps going to the place the politicians are would work better. Screwing over normal citizens trying to live their life isn't going to make any of them care more, it will have the opposite effect, people who are tired or don't care won't suddenly be sympathetic. They'll get angry at the protestors for making their day even harder. Disrupt the politicians lives, they're the ones who actually control this stuff.

I wish they cared this much about the people suffering in Sudan right now... Where's the mass protests for those people..

This is amazing! I hope the research keeps going.

Thanks for taking the time to do that for us
