Depends. If the possible trigger is something you want to avoid anyway, assume it is a trigger and use it as an excuse to avoid. If it's something you don't want to give up, test it to make sure.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What is even happening?
What Fred Pete said. Is the trigger chocolate, sex, or really yummy alcohol, meara? Is it pretty clothes? A favorite product?

Re: Knives -- I would buy a cheap set, and one nice knife (like a chef's knife) I never realized how much good knives made a difference, and this will help them.
Meara, if the trigger is something that you will encounter fairly regularly, I'd wait until you had some time, say a Sunday afternoon, and trigger. I'm happy to come sit with you while you figure it out. I'll just read a book very quietly :) Not this Sunday, though.

I have some happiness for ita that she went all day without a migraine. That seems like a feat.

Knives: I'd just buy the good ones, since they are the bombdiggity. Cheap ones are just throwing money away.
To trigger or not to trigger: Depends on what you think it is, and if you can/want to avoid it.
ION: Brrrrrrrrr. Chilly morning here at my desk.
