    Wondering if benadryl would help my anxiety.

    My meds just aren't doing it for me rn 🥺

    If nothing else it should help you take a nap ?? And when I’m feeling all anxious and what not - all I want to do is nap - this prolly doesn’t help if you’re working

    I’d say that’s not a bad worse case if you ask me - I hope to be out no later than 8 lol

    There are things I don’t talk about because they involve people who don’t want to be talked about

    There’s more recent data that backs it up but this is pretty easy to read. It makes me sad that people think they have an insurance policy against loneliness and it crumbles like that.

    You really just never know with ppl man - it’s just easier to trust no one - expect the worst hope for the best kinda thing - idk man - I hate being the cynical old man I’m becoming - I’d like to go back to my naive younger years - ignorance really is bliss

    Ok Americans.... favourite Thanksgiving recipes or traditions please?

    I offered to host our neighbour who is here working at the US consulate (his wife is away visiting her mom so he's solo) and another American friend is excited to come since his wife is Canadian and they don't do two Thanksgivings. Then there's our other friends who we invite to all special meals. So I kinda want to do traditional American dishes although I'll add come Canadiana with butter tarts.

    I prefer ham to turkey - green bean casserole we always have - and I prefer cherry pie to pumpkin- and we also always make banana pudding Paula dean style - good luck

    Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and sweet potatoes are staples every year. (The last 2 years we've also had a venison roast, but you can't always count on that.) We add in different things to round it out. This year, someone is bringing homemade mac n' cheese and someone else is bringing banana nut bread. There'll be a green vegetable and rolls. Pumpkin and apple pie.

    All this plus homemade cranberry sauce using orange juice instead of water.

    My family never had mac and cheese for Thanksgiving!

    Maybe I would have been happier to be there. :)

    But, yeah, green bean casserole, yams, mashed potatoes, sometimes this creamed spinach/corn souffle/baby carrots concoction, pumpkin snd lemon meringue pies...
