askye, if you can make bread, you can make pizza dough. Keep trying!

Steph, I don't know if you've heard this already, but the Alzheimer's Reading Room, while badly formatted, has some great information and a lot of supportive commentary for dementia caregivers. I recommend it to you and Tim's family.

For those thinking about cannibis, I just learned that there's a real big difference between the effects of the TCH strains and the CBD strains, and apparently the CBD pot is much better for anxiety and pain than the other stuff. I would post a link, but my friend's discussion is flocked. So, FWIW.

I just filed my taxes, and my quarterly estimates were so close that the federal government owes me $13. Awwww yeah me. I didn't owe any state taxes, and now I need to do my city taxes, but they should be pretty damn close, too. Woo!

But then I have to write my check for 1st quarter estimated taxes. Here's the backstory you need to know: since I started freelancing, I really don't mind writing that large check to the government 4 times a year, because there are so many, many things that our taxes fund that I believe are important. Until now, with the current POTUS. I resent the fact that I have to pay for his fucking golf trips and goddamn wall of racism, while he wants to cut everything that I *want* my taxes to support. I resent it so deeply. I don't want to write this fucking check, because fuck that man and his administration.

But I know that's how taxes work. I got NASA and the EPA, and now I get to pay for a brick in the wall of racism. Fuck that guy.

My brother (who is both a pothead from WAY back and also a resident of Colorado, where it's all legal) concurs on the CBD being much better.

Timelies all!

My folks are here. The tv downstairs is up too loud because my dad is hard-of-hearing and won't get hearing aides.

Mayonnaise works very nicely as an egg substitute in a lot of baking - I actually prefer it for making corn bread. I do not recall having tried it with meatloaf, but I can't think of any reason it would not work.

sumi, how sad for your friend. I'm glad you got good news for yourself, though.

Mayo is just egg+oil, right? Makes sense!

My apartment is now torn up because all of my walls needed to be painted, post-electrical work. Good thing I wasn't planning to have people over for Easter!

Yeah, I've used it in a pinch for baking. Things were a little crispier.

I laugh at my child, y'all. He thinks 15 is good for him to stay at a friend's house with no adults present. 15!! lands.

hell to the no.

The frozen egg stuff is super handy when you don't need them much. I'll have to try the mayo trick.

I think I'll go for the liquid egg, if I can stash it in the freezer. I'm not sure about the flavor of the mayonnaise in meatloaf.
