Got it a little confused, Jefferson is the one who was obsessed with owning his half-sister-in-law. For Washington I'm talking about [https://www.mountvernon.org/library/digitalhistory/digital-encyclopedia/article/ona-judge](http://www.Ona.com/ Judge) who Washington was particularly insistent on reclaiming up until he died. He may have said he abhorred slavery, but he didn't seem to particularly practice or actually believe that.

Didn't Washington stalk and harass his half-sister-in-law (who was a slave who escaped him) till his deathbed... Ig tbf coulda just been gender slavery rather than race slavery, but idk I'd say he was against people as property.

Was the most weirdly aggressively Pepsi only area I've ever been in haha now I try to make sure we grab him a six pack when we go anywhere new juuuust in case. Haven't run into the situation a second time fortunately lol

Lol my brother is a coke guy. Took him out for his birthday and he's in the bathroom when server came over for drink orders. My brother usually interrogates them if it's real coke which seems kind of over the top so I just said "do you have actual coke?" and got a yes so ordered it for him. He sits down and I'm like I made sure it was coke for you! He takes a sipβ€” it's Pepsi lmao.

Still not as funny as the time we were on vacation in a Pepsi area. Couldn't even find coke in the gas stations. We visit a ye olde touristy shopping center done up like the 1950s. Coke paraphernalia everywhere. I'm like great we can finally get you a coke! Go in a store, all the coolers are coke aesthetic, he's excited. β€”It's all Pepsi.

It's hard up out there lmao. (I understand the frustration though, did once have a meltdown after a lot of driving because I couldn't get tea anywhere that wasn't a cheap grocery store teabag at best lol just want good tea before doing another 8hrs straight driving. Ended up angrily making my own in the parking lot like a madwoman lmfao)

Honestly never occurred to me lol I was 17 and that was Work's Potato, it needed to go home to Work.

Once put one of those plastic wrapped potatoes in my uniform apron to put back in produce at my first retail job (got abandoned in the mac and cheese section). I then completely forgot and took it home. Took it out of my apron and put it on my desk next to my car keys because "I'll remember to take it back". I did not. Lived with me for a week or something when I finally put it in my apron again because I wasn't remembering. I took it to work. I completely forgot about it and never returned it. It made this trip several times. I put it back on my desk because this wasn't working out, surely I'll remember if I see it.

Then I forgot about it for like three months. One day I look over at my desk and it's a shriveled potato with a new potato growing from its own husk...

In essence, potatoes are amazing and horrifying. Just like my short term memory lol.

Had some players that were doing a see who can sleep with NPCs tally check. I had some NPCs do it right back. I gave them both insight checks to realize they were now the game instead of playing the game and both failed. This feels like that lol.

Reminds me of a Japanese "ghost story" I read (dunno how authentic this is, I got it out of the Barnes and Noble discount bin lol) about a man who falls asleep under a tree and isekais into the ant colony around the tree which has a long and storied history, living out a life where he married the princess, has daughters, died and was entombed before waking up and digging up the ant colony to find his own tomb.

I don't like bugs, but I would watch this kind of story around a termite colony...

I think what I like most of this is it matches my decorating skills of random shit I like in no too particular order rather than the curated fairytale house I always tell myself I'm going for and then fail miserably at because "I know it's supposed to be the strawberry room, but it's a pirate bed, it's gotta be in there".

Hello!

I take care of a few hospice individuals and am looking for breakfast ideas! Dietary requirements are as follows:

  • low carb
  • low sugar
  • low dairy

Since most of them have no teeth they need ground/pureed soft food as well (though I can always blender hard foods so I'm not listing it as a dietary requirement, but things like curries or soups are a big time saver for me since I can skip the blender step).

Currently my recipe list is as follows:

  • Shakshuka
  • Frittata
  • Miso Soup
  • Gazpacho
  • Vegetable/Fruit salads (I don't have a specific recipe for this so if anyone has one I'd love one!)

I'm not really a breakfast person so I'm looking for some recipe ideas since right now they mostly just get cereal or yogurt every morning which doesn't really fit the doctors' orders and has to be pretty boring for them.
