I do this too. I thought it was a normal thing because it’s something my mum taught me to do to get the sneeze out so I thought it was like a common thing that worked for everyone. Until I told my husband to try it and he said no that stops the sneeze. So I googled it and found out it’s a minority thing! It’s like your eyes quickly adjusting to the bright light somehow makes your nasal passages freak out too.

Try the CeraVe SA cream. It’s got urea in it which is realllly good at moisturising dry skin without greasiness. I’ve got a big jar of that stuff and use it all over my body and face. A little goes a long way and it’s lasted me ages. You can pair it with their other creams for an extra moisture boost too!

No bans of chocolate chips on anything will ever be issued. You have my word.

As someone who uses a Nintendo switch and an Xbox, the A and B buttons should be in the same place on all game controllers.

In England we call it pop. Or fizzy drinks. E.g. “what fizzy drinks do you have?” “We have Coke, Fanta, Lemonade”

The simplest things to do on Android are an ordeal on Iphone.

Can you give us any examples?

Yep, it’s PMMA cable.

There are so many good Neil Peart lyrics it’s hard to choose a favourite.

This one is definitely in my top 5:

Subdivisions

In the high school halls

In the shopping malls

Conform or be cast out

Subdivisions

In the basement bars

In the backs of cars

Be cool or be cast out

Any escape might help to smooth

The unattractive truth

But the suburbs have no charms to soothe

The restless dreams of youth

Have you been to Disneyland Paris?

It could have been a Williams pear. They ripen from green to yellow. Some even have a pinky peach blush. They’re so soft and sweet and juicy when perfectly ripe.

In the uk we commonly have Williams (yellow) or conference (green sometimes with a brown skin)

“You can’t make a silk purse from sows ear” means you can’t make something nice from rubbish. “You can’t get blood from a stone” means attempting something difficult, if not impossible and futile”. E.g. “trying to get my kids to tell me about their school day is like trying to get blood from a stone.” It doesn’t matter how hard I try I get nothing.

I miss Apollo and Reddit too.

Bots?

I’m currently using Memmy and having no issues at all

Definitely have a go of the CeraVe SA smoothing cream. A little goes a long way and it will work miracles for dry skin. You can use it all over your body too. I’ve got a big pot of the stuff and it lasts ages. They also have moisturisers with SPF which you can use together with the SA cream. The foaming oil cleanser or the hydrating cleanser would be great for you.

Another vote for CeraVe here. I have oily skin and still at the age of 40 get some acne and their blemish control cleanser and the SA moisturiser keep it under control. My skin has never been better.

What’s your skin like OP? Is it dry or oily? Do you work outside? I can better recommend some products if I know what you need.

I’ve not been trying to pour the drink over the cap, no. It’s just fiddly and you have to make sure the cap doesn’t flap back over the bottle while you’re pouring. I can’t be the only person who finds them inconvenient in this respect? Surely there’s a better way of keeping the cap attached without it getting in the way?

When they first introduced these, my brother thought it was a defect and ripped it off. It leaves a pretty sharp bit of plastic behind and he cut his hand when he screwed the lid back on. I get the idea behind them (it’s so you have to recycle the cap along with the bottle) but there’s got to be a better way than this. It makes it a pain to pour a drink or drink directly from the bottle.

Breath of the Wild meets Drive to Survive. Netflix are making a docuseries about Link’s journey to free Zelda.

Yep! Had my 3200 compact for about 12 years now. It’s as good as the day it was bought and used nearly every day. Well worth the money.
