klemptor,

I fucking love this, how cozy! Better than freezing my feet in cold stirrups.

I've never tried a Pumpkin Spice Latte. Tell me all about it!

So I keep seeing these referenced in various media formats but I don’t recall ever seeing one on the menu where I live (Australia). Maybe they are sold under a different name? Maybe only in some places and I wasn’t paying attention? I don’t know, but I sure know I’ve never ordered one....

klemptor,

Pumpkin spice products generally don’t actually contain pumpkin - they contain the spices used in pumpkin pie, usually at least cinnamon and nutmeg, but also could include things like cloves, star anise, cardamom, allspice, and ginger. These warmish spices pair really well with hot coffee beverages and cream, hence the popularity of pumpkin spice lattés. But it’s not just lattés - you can also buy pumpkin spice flavored coffee creamer to use in a regular cup of coffee.

In the States (or at least the Northeast where I’m from), pumpkin spice is sort of emblematic of the start of Fall. As the weather turns cooler we get into the spirit with things like big comfy sweaters, decorative gourds, chrysanthemums, and scented candles (apple pie and pumpkin spice scents are popular!), but spiced food is also a huge part of it: for example, gingersnaps, mulled apple cider (which uses a lot of the same spices as pumpkin spice), and of course pumpkin spice lattés.

A lot of these spices are used throughout the rest of the year because we’ve got Thanksgiving in late November (pumpkin pie is a staple for this holiday), and for Christmas there tend to be spiced cookies and cakes, plus spiced tea and mulled wine. And there are also spice-scented air fresheners and potpourri, so whether you’re at home or out shopping there’s a nice warm cozy scent.

klemptor,

Pumpkin pie is really a cinch to make; you should give it a go!

Bowie’s got big glasses because he’s hoping for BIIIIG treats

Should I just quit urban and social life for a rural and lonely life?

I’m majoring in CS related-field, and I used to have tons of passion for it and underlying tech, and worked as full stack dev, but my mind was very different in a good way (better at logical/cognitive demanding tasks, creative, productive, etc). Things happened, and I just can’t stand living in society, experiencing all this...

klemptor,

You’re probably underestimating how much hard work it really is to live off the land.

klemptor,

Hello gorgeous boi!

klemptor,

Not everybody could pull off such a loud print but Bowie’s got that next-level cool, he can get away with it. 🧡

Thank you, these look awesome and I can’t wait to make them!

klemptor,

Don’t forget Kira. Her uniform was pretty much a catsuit after the first couple of seasons.

klemptor,

Despite her skepticism she should’ve treated him like a sentient being, since there was a clear chance she could be wrong.

klemptor,

Seriously, this was soooo over the top. What were they thinking?!

klemptor,

Not offended, just sore eyeballs from all the eyerolls this episode causes.

klemptor,

Oh hecc I’m first in line for assimilation! 😊

klemptor,

I mean SkyNet’s been self-aware for 26 years now so basically good luck to Bard, it’s a guppy vs a shark.

This has got a very Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark vibe

After nearly 30 years, Pennsylvania will end state funding for anti-abortion counseling centers (apnews.com)

Pennsylvania plans to end on Dec. 31 its longstanding contract with the nonprofit Real Alternatives, the first organization in the nation to secure significant state and federal subsidies to support anti-abortion counseling centers. Under the program, Real Alternatives distributed the state and federal funds to dozens of...

klemptor,

Ugh I’m so glad Shapiro won

klemptor,

Aw this is so cute :)

klemptor,

At first I was thinking this is a great price for a historically important home in Princeton, and you can actually get land pretty cheap a little bit north in Hunterdon County, but jeez, what would it cost to relocate and update that house?!

klemptor,

REI is my crack

klemptor,

I was raised Catholic and the distinction was always made between Catholics and Christians. I didn’t really understand that Catholics were a subtype of Christians until someone pointed it out to me when I was a teenager - I just thought Christians was a catch-all term for non-Catholics that believed in jesus.

klemptor,

I’m from New Jersey

Ah merci pour le lien!

Poor Harry. That knobhead Tom Paris got busted down to Ensign and back up to Lieutenant, meanwhile Harry Kim is a perpetual Ensign and has to be Captain Proton’s sidekick.

My mother-in-law lives with us and has been diagnosed with Alzheimers. We've been dealing with it for about a year but things are progressively getting worse. What are options for care?

She gets social security, and we don’t have a lot of money ourselves and are no longer able to be with her 24/7. We are in Maryland, and are scared of what we can do. Will her medicare do anything? Is it too late for something like long term care insurance? We have no idea where to start....

klemptor,

I forgot to mention - CAPABLE is just one example and IIRC it’s more focused on the person with dementia than on caregiver support, so I believe it’s more applicable for people with mild impairment. If your MIL is more than mildly impaired, I would look for programs geared toward a caregiver-patient dyad. These are specifically designed to improve caregivers’ ability to effectively manage the disease and therefore alleviate some of the burden of caregiving (reducing stress and depression).
