This gives me the same feeling as being carded at the grocery store

They're a great find, I hope you like them!

In my opinion, yes. They're like really garlicky spinach. I spotted them in the woods behind my house when I was taking a second tour trying to decide between this and another place... They were the tipping point.

Yes, those are ramps! Mine are popping up too.

They are wonderful sauteed, or creamed like you would do with spinach. They freeze well if you blanche then first, too. I also like to make ramp butter, chop them really fine and just mix them in raw with heavy cream, a pinch of salt and a little bit of lemon juice. Mix and mix and mix until all the fat and liquid is separated and you have delicious green butter and buttermilk. The buttermilk is great in biscuits... Damn, I love ramp season.

... If it's three days or less, do you just not brush your teeth?

Those aren't ads, Coca-Cola™ is just so crisp and refreshing that we can't help talking about it naturally!

My daughter refused to sell her teeth, she still has them in a little jar. She fully believed in the tooth fairy, but didn't think the transaction sounded fair.

The most absurd thing I've seen a man refuse to do because of toxic masculinity is just scroll past an innocuous comment without replying a bunch of misogynistic bullshit.

I did cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia years ago, and at the time had the same issue with waking up and then laying in bed for hours trying to get back to sleep. It led to a horrible cycle of anxiety about whether I'd be able to sleep, which of course made it harder to sleep. The most important rules are to try to go to bed and get up at the same time every day. If you're awake in the middle of the night and can't fall back asleep after ten minutes, get out of bed and do something quiet with no screens. I recommend hand washing dishes, dusting, or folding laundry. This is productive, calm and quiet, and boring enough that you will be happy to go back to bed when your body says you're ready. When you start doing this, you're going to be even more tired during the day. Just suffer through it, don't take a nap and don't try to counteract it with caffeine or other stimulants! That will only exacerbate the cycle of insomnia. I also recommend keeping a journal of when you go to bed, every time you wake up, and when you're finally up for the day. You might find that you naturally wake up less if you give yourself a different bed time window.
