I do this too. I thought it was a normal thing because it’s something my mum taught me to do to get the sneeze out so I thought it was like a common thing that worked for everyone. Until I told my husband to try it and he said no that stops the sneeze. So I googled it and found out it’s a minority thing! It’s like your eyes quickly adjusting to the bright light somehow makes your nasal passages freak out too.

Try the CeraVe SA cream. It’s got urea in it which is realllly good at moisturising dry skin without greasiness. I’ve got a big jar of that stuff and use it all over my body and face. A little goes a long way and it’s lasted me ages. You can pair it with their other creams for an extra moisture boost too!

No bans of chocolate chips on anything will ever be issued. You have my word.

As someone who uses a Nintendo switch and an Xbox, the A and B buttons should be in the same place on all game controllers.

In England we call it pop. Or fizzy drinks. E.g. “what fizzy drinks do you have?” “We have Coke, Fanta, Lemonade”

There are so many good Neil Peart lyrics it’s hard to choose a favourite.

This one is definitely in my top 5:

Subdivisions

In the high school halls

In the shopping malls

Conform or be cast out

Subdivisions

In the basement bars

In the backs of cars

Be cool or be cast out

Any escape might help to smooth

The unattractive truth

But the suburbs have no charms to soothe

The restless dreams of youth

It could have been a Williams pear. They ripen from green to yellow. Some even have a pinky peach blush. They’re so soft and sweet and juicy when perfectly ripe.

In the uk we commonly have Williams (yellow) or conference (green sometimes with a brown skin)

“You can’t make a silk purse from sows ear” means you can’t make something nice from rubbish. “You can’t get blood from a stone” means attempting something difficult, if not impossible and futile”. E.g. “trying to get my kids to tell me about their school day is like trying to get blood from a stone.” It doesn’t matter how hard I try I get nothing.

Am I missing something or is there a setting for marking a post as red on viewing an image?

 

I’ve got my theme set to Embark but it’s not changing the colours. It was fine until a few mins ago. I opened the app and the theme has reverted to the default, but the selection is still on Embark.
