I'm not sure about burner phones. From what I've deduced from TV, I have a burner phone, since it's non-contract and pay as I go. Or am I confused?

I grew up with noon as lunch time and 6 PM as supper time. Dinner time if you're hoity-toity. But I believe some people call lunch dinner? Or is that supper?

do you know what the term "burner phone" means
The Wire, baby. And, CBS Mysteries. And CSI. And The Closer. And Court TV.
You get the idea.

Always Anti-fascist!
Wirefiends, represent. I actually had a burner for a while, but I couldn't even use it cause its number got collection calls from some chick named Carmen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All cash?
Burner phone seems reasonably pop culture education, along with the start of the Miranda rights, cops have to say "yes" if you ask if they're undercover (sic), sort of social studies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You buy a burner phone at the convenience store, not the phone store.
How do normal people cook/eat dinner?
I don't know about normal people, but I have to do stuff in bulk ahead of time, or I just eat popcorn. I have several days' worth of salad in my fridge right now! And yet, am going out for dinner.

I am staring low glycemic load failure in the face if I don't make some new habits quick stick. I found some menu plans that are helpful, but there's a lot of stress on weight loss--I don't need instructions like hot water and lemon.
Also, do I have to lower the fat content in my yoghurt? Surely just switching from vanilla to plain is the key change? Also--agave--low glycemic enough? Does the fructose thing make it too problematic? I don't need a lot of sweet, but I do want some.
I really need to work out the difference between low and lower. How much whole is good enough? Can I get low load granola? Gnargh. And no, I don't want to start seeing a nutritionist. That would make, what, five specialists? Too much.
No suggestions for a metaphor that's less linear?

Why do you have to be low glycemic?
And what's your metaphor question again? You're looking for a continuum that's not a line? I dunno.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I am so tired of thunderstorms and grey skies. True, it's been a little cooler than usual for this time of year(not very much, though), but I'm feeling kind of down, and the lack of sun may be a factor.
