I feel you. We had a dog and a cat both lose their hearing. It was tough, ngl. We think we mitigated some of it by giving them extra cuddles and attention. The hardest part was adjusting our actions so that we didn’t unnecessarily surprise them while they were looking away or asleep.

If you need to grate softer cheeses (mozzarella/colby jack/etc.), popping them into the freezer for 15-30 minutes will firm them up so they shred more cleanly.

Partner and I both got our flu/covid vaccines yesterday and kindergartner is home from school today and tomorrow with hay fever or whatever kindergarten crud is going around this time. Kiddo was also awake for about three hours last night around 0230 and struggled hard to get back to sleep. It’s been a long 36 hours

I’ve been using a paid account on Pandora for well over a decade. I hadn’t realized that LiveNation bought them. That’s disappointing on a fundamental level. Would definitely explain a bit.

Unfortunately , I don’t know. It was 20+ years ago and I never got the chance ask specifics. I just remember my friend mentioning it and then hearing it drive off after a quick visit.

The MR2’s were woefully undersold. At least in my neck of the woods. Always heard they were a ton of fun. A friend of a friend put a JDM engine in his first gen and it sang very nicely.

‘Tis the season. Roasting green chile is (nearly) in the air. Makes me want to swing by El Modelo to stock up the freezer.

Yeah, looks closer to red chile to me, but the lines blur a lot around these parts
