@distelfliege I used to think we did a lot of fireworks, but then I spent Sylvester in Berlin a few years ago. Y'all are over the top.

@WelshPixie How cool! I'll be keeping an eye out for it.

@jinksb Oh geeze. That looks miserable.

@ThisQueerBashesBack Oh geeze, yes. Restaurants are so damn difficult. I've got an idea of what places are safe for me now, but for a while there was reading menus online a _lot_. And still do, for new places or ones that change their menus seasonally.

FWIW, I've had really good results from calling ~3pm for dinner, to ask questions, and being put through to the kitchen (often the chef, in fact). Local places, especially, want to help, and I've gotten very good meals that way, that were cobbled together from things in different areas on the menu.

Two juncos circle each other like tiny fencers, with a great flapping of wings and tiny indignant cheeps. All for the territory of my currently seedless back porch.

@Damage Ooooh! I'll have to try that! On a warmer day, anyway.

@ThisQueerBashesBack Ummm...it's been a bit over two years now. Goodness. Hadn't realized it'd been that long.

The shopping changes started when I realized that teasing myself with things I couldn't eat was worsening my depression. Am much better now, but still avoid most aisles unless I'm looking for something particular.

@compostablespork Curious: Did they take trading into account? Lots of seasonings made it to even far-flung areas.

@Damage So true! Very loud ping pong balls, too. 😆

@_knives_out_ @GucciPiggy@toot.cat Not to mention a lot of other foods, I imagine. Celiac is so rough.

@ThisQueerBashesBack It's amazing how quickly I can be in and out of even the largest grocery stores. Kinda love it, now I've adjusted.

@Damage Aww! Such cute birds!

@Ulfra_Wolfe Oh, that sucks. Hope the reaction settles down soon.

Side benefit to having a wonky gut: when everyone else is making panic-runs on bread and milk, I get to skip those parts of the grocery store entirely. #IBSlife

@js0000 Thanks! I'd handle these temps better if it hadn't been so warm all through November--not time to acclimate!

Also, I'm very glad school's still out, so there's no kids outside. Most Okies just don't have good winter gear.

@Yuhllevan Ugh. So much gaslighting in that list. I'm sorry you're having to deal with people saying this shit.
