I judge the need for oil based on the shine of the pan after cleaning.

Just fried chicken in a fair amount of oil? Dump the oil, wipe, rinse, dry, back to bed in the oven.

Did I cook something that left a residue? After hot water and maybe some salt to scrub if the finish looks flat, I'll rub on a little oil.

By providing an environment where a parent can afford to stay home and spend time with their child, instead of crossing their fingers that the worst their kid does when left alone is look at porn vs setting the house on fire while the parents are working extra jobs and extra hours for a roof over their heads.

I've got the feeling that Epstein probably made a routine of getting himself close to other rich and famous people for the purpose of befriending and trying to see who would take the bait. I doubt he offered children to everybody who boarded his plane, so he probably started with little things (like a foot massage) then guaged the person's reaction and offered from there. That someone flew on his plane I don't think automatically makes them guilty, but I would look closer at the people who flew in his plane multiple times.

Side note, as a massage therapist toenail fungus is extremely common. Also, the presence of sock fuzzies suggests a brand new pair of socks. If anything, most of the people that I've met that have toenail issues are extremely self-conscious about the way their feet look and aren't very comfortable exposing their feet to strangers. According to the article it was Epstein's idea, so that just makes me wonder if it was part of his game to put Growing in a compromising position for future black mail.

Scrolling during an in person meeting. My God this one tested me 🤣.

Bonus points - she throws some left leaning Democrat "friendly" under the bus at the same time, creating a bigger distraction. "Trump did nothing wrong, but take a look at what THIS guy did over here..."

Don't get me wrong, all the guilty in this mess need to burn. All of them. Whoever they are or wherever they're from, it doesn't matter. But I can absolutely see them cherry picking the right flavor of guilty person to take the heat off of Trump for the time being.

Not their responsibility, but if they do speak up people should fucking listen and do something about it.

I do find true crime terribly interesting and have watched Forensic Files, Dateline, etc for years, and liked that there were podcast forms of these shows and more (Crime Junkie.) Every now and then though I get a recommendation for a new show and 15 seconds in I feel echoes of the "murder muffin" sentiment and I just feel gross. No thanks.

At least he was old. Did they really have to throw in Theo Huxtable?

You mean like during the COVID lockdown? It was amazing. I wish people learned more lessons from that time.

I work in hospice, traveling to patients homes. I'd be more than happy to work from home, but the logistics of getting dying bed ridden people to travel to me has been tricky.

Your heart pushes water and nutrients out to the extremities and then the lymph system returns excess water and waste so that the liver and kidneys can filter it while making the cycle again. When circulation is poor or the heart is weak or other complications, the body has a hard time returning some of that fluid back into circulation to where the body can get rid of it naturally. This is the result. It can just sit there leading to skin breakdown, or even infection.
