Anniversary? It’s not even available yet as far as I’m concerned.

Mildly?

Yeah, I’ve been there. Just make sure you don’t leave it out too long or bacteria will grow. I like Pacific Foods (I think that’s what they’re called) chicken and rice soup. Doesn’t have a bunch of unnecessary additives and mysterious “flavor” ingredients.

When I feel myself first getting sick, I will often make myself a big pot of chicken noodle soup or pho that I can just heat up to get me through it. Have to do so before you’re really sick, though, of course.

Chicken pho is another good one if you have that available near you.

Oh, saltines are good as well.

Chicken noodle soup or chicken and rice soup. Very easy on the stomach and has some anti-inflammatory benefits. If even that is too much, just broth is better than nothing.

There’s also the BRAT diet. Bananas, rice, applesauce, toast.

Congee is easy on the stomach, too. Basically rice with broth.

I think it’s pretty normal and okay to be demotivated when you’re sick. It will pass and you will move on.

Your partner should be able to help you get enough to eat. That’s the sort of thing that partners are for. You should be(come) comfortable asking for help with this kind of thing. It happens to everyone sometimes. If they can’t because they’re sick, perhaps there is another friend or family member you could ask to come help a bit. If not, ordering food is a good option, depending on where you live and whether you can afford it.

It’s not the end of the world if you’re a bit dirty for a week or two. If it’s really bothering you or your partner, you can use bath wipes in place of a shower and travel tooth wipes in place of brushing.

As for entertainment, being sick is the perfect time to rewatch a favorite show or binge something low effort to watch.

Bats have tiny teeth and it’s possible to be bitten without there being any visible mark. You should always go for treatment if you have had an interaction with a bat. Better safe than dying one of the worst ways possible.

Yep. I first encountered it circa 2004 when I was in a Japanese language school in Japan, almost every single one of my fellow students was from China, and they got very antsy about anything critical being mentioned. One of them even took me aside once to explain that if she were to say something bad about the government, it could be dangerous. She did not elaborate and I never brought it up again.

Well yeah, they’ve been doing this for decades.

You sure can make things cheaply if you use slave labor.

Day negative 6? Interesting.

There’s obviously interest in it.

People have allergies to specific allergens, from specific plants. Not all plants/trees are going to give people an allergic reaction.

That is indeed Mount Rainier.

I’m starting to get the impression that maybe we need a separate community for random screenshots of games.

I have a hard time seeing a bird in that sculpture, but I’ll guess them that that’s a bird person.

They know that they don’t have to.

She also has a prior conviction for intentionally spreading COVID.

And enjoy your increased likelihood of heart disease and diabetes later!

Wives’

There are lots of them. They just struggle to make it out of the local sphere and onto the national stage.
