I need product recs for helping them grow and get strong.
The Colombian stuff I got at my nail place really worked, but it's made of formaldehyde, so maybe you don't want that....
Harrow: You didn't have to wound that man. Mal: Yeah, I know, it was just funny.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

...so, I may have full-sized feet, but I do voluntarily put formaldehyde on my hands regularly.

I hung my stained glass. Now to decide if I want the frame flush with the window frame (thus no direct light to the top of the glass) or full sunlight which means bottom window pane comes partway up the glass. Hmmm.
I'm kinda tired. Ever since I went out today, I've been going. Grocery shopping, target, laundry started, swam 54 laps, more laundry, clean front room floors, go through mail, make bed, hang glass (power tools!) and now....must relax.

From this I have learned that the Empress Dowager Lu is officially the historical personage I would least want to have as an enemy as evidenced by her treatment of the rival Concubine Qi. (I won't even link to it. It's too horrible.)
This story is in The Cartoon History of the Universe (a series of books I highly recommend). In the book, Lu's son, upon seeing what his mother has done, says, "Mother, this--this is inhuman!" Lu humphs and says, "Could an animal have thought of it?"

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I would imagine generations of women said something along the following line with absolute sincerity: "I went though this and, though there is pain sometimes, I am better for it. And it will be the same for you dear one. Don't I always do what's best for you? There's a good girl."
Also FGM. It's always the women who perpetrate this atrocity on the next generation. I get a glimpse of some kind of logic once in a while. But it goes away in all the horrified inability to conceive of deliberately disabling anybody's child.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yesterday I went Bed Bath and Beyond shopping for, amongst other things, a 3qt nonstick saucepan. Cheapest one I could find (most were in sets) was $80. I see cheaper ones on Overstock (although search/organisation isn't being very helpful) but I'm leery of buying a pot I haven't had a chance to handle.
What's a reasonable price range for that sort of pot?
I did get a great-looking 8" "green" skillet that I'm way too excited about. I need to make omelettes soon.
