I have both allergies & food "intolerances". Often, it's easier to just say I'm allergic to a food than to explain my various food "intolerances" of certain ingredients ... as those ingredients all will send me (as a minimum) to the bathroom (to ๐คฎ and/or ๐ฉ) with PAIN if the food has too much of an ingredient that I'm "intolerant" of. Sometimes, it's EXTREME pain (as in, feels like a heart attack) that can also send me to the ER (but only on rare occasion, like a few times a year). So, foods/ingredients that I have an "intolerance" for, I might still eat in small doses, when at home ... where I can (a) control the amount, (b) be near a toilet and (c) already be prepared in case an ER visit is required.
Great! I spent months of time documenting an underperformed, putting her on PIPs, giving her poor performance reviews when she failed to meet the minimum requirements of the job. Only to have bosses refused to back me up & changing UNSAT reviews to ACCEPTABLE & then not backing me even when there was eye witness accounts of her harassing her male assistant. If the tables had been reversed (her claiming sexual harassment by a male), he would have been fired without proof. Ultimately, she's partly why I retired early. And now, she still is employed, just being moved from one department to another, continuing her incompetence.
Googleโs parent company Alphabet is seeking EPA approval to release 64 million bacteria-infected mosquitoes across Florida and California. The male mosquitoes carry Wolbachia bacteria which makes them unable to reproduce when they mate with wild females, slowly wiping out disease-carrying mosquito populations. Biggest open-air biological experiment in US history and nobody voted on it.
@BobbyPJohnson@benryanwriter I'm a prolific reader - read 2-5 books per minth. I read to both my kids. Multiple books a night when little. Made them read 1-2 books per week when in school. Beyond that, neither "likes" to read, so now, as adults, they read very little. ๐ข
@stats_feed Tamales for a meal. But biscochos (Mexican wedding cookies), especially my mom's specialty chocolate biscochos ... Just perfection on the tongue!
