Does anyone happen to know if Oltre pulled out of the States entirely, or are they planning to open up somewhere else?

Honestly, the price tag on this is just offensive considering what you actually get in the box; it doesn't even come close to being worth it, let alone meeting basic expectations!

I’ve always picked up my skinny jeans at Gap,
but from what I hear, those stores are closing down everywhere... 🙂

Does anyone know where I can find some good plus-size denim?

Check out Old Navy in the States... honestly, just look there, they have everything from petite to plus size and the styles are actually pretty solid.

If you don't mind, that would be incredibly kind of you🙂 , thanks!

I honestly can't find the points chart anywhere, can someone help me out? 😠

Lucky you, honestly. I’ve been stuck on a round of antibiotics for an entire month now and I still haven't managed to shake this E. coli. So, naturally, my doctor just handed me a prescription for another three months of meds. 😕
It's total war until we wipe this thing out once and for all.🙂

I actually went through that whole process at the Mayo Clinic a few years back too, just to see how much my field of vision had been constricted because of the eye pressure

Nicole Miller said:If getting cash legally was actually that easy, I don't get why there are so many desperate people out there trying to "fix" their credit through those shady middleman schemes.

Well, it's because they’ve already burned through every legitimate avenue available to them, and honestly... god, it's sad. Most of the people turning to those kinds of tactics are just folks who have hit rock bottom and see it as their absolute last shot at seeing any actual cash.

Eric Newman65 said:I spotted some earplugs over at the Turbo grinder... I have no clue what they're actually like or if they'll even work for you..

Honestly, my biggest fear is that they’re just selling those cheap silicone earplugs designed for swimming..
I spent years hunting through every pharmacy in the US looking for actual silicone earplugs, and I could never find them anywhere; everyone just kept telling me to try looking abroad, though I really doubt anything has changed lately...

A physical therapist I used to see over at ExxonMobil once told me that people dealing with psoriasis don't have to worry about cancer
I mean, who knows if there's actually any truth to that, but honestly, when you're living with psoriasis, it’s still pretty nice to hear that you might be spared from something like that

Congrats on the win and the sheer guts it took to pull that off!

... because honestly, putting everything you've got on a single shot is pretty damn brave...

Man, it really hurts...
It’s funny how it works, though—sometimes I have to deal with some seriously messed up digestion before things finally start moving again, which is just great, isn't it? Just my luck, I guess...
I honestly just want to lie in a hot bathtub for hours, but then I start wondering if that’s actually a smart move. Still, it feels amazing, probably better than anything else right now...

David Flores9 said:Oh, but you shouldn't chop the chocolate too finely. It’s actually way better if you just grab some of those pre-made chocolate chunks. Instead of walnuts, you could toss in some hazelnuts or even raisins, and if you want to swap out some of the flour, oats work great too.

Thanks for the recipe, I'm definitely going to give this a shot.

(I haven't seen any of those ready-to-go chocolate chunks around here lately...
where on earth am I supposed to find them?)

David Flores9, tell me honestly, do those little chocolate chunks actually stay intact inside the cookies once they've been through the oven?😍

😵 Honestly, those Hershey's bites with the little chocolate chunks inside are absolutely legendary... I would give anything just to get my hands on their secret recipe...

Honestly, it’s your classic sports injury right there.
Once you’ve tweaked that ankle, you're basically looking at a massive risk of stretching those ligaments all over again if you aren't careful or if you make any sudden, clumsy movements with that leg.
The only real way to handle this is to be way more mindful of how you land—you really need to watch your footing on impact—and, more importantly, you absolutely have to start wearing a high-quality ankle brace.
You can pick them up at any Dick's Sporting Goods, usually running somewhere around $35 to $133, give or take, though you might also find some decent options at a local medical supply shop if you want to browse... just don't go back out there without one. I mean, it hurts like hell as it is, not to mention how you end up being practically useless and stuck on the couch for a few days...

James Bond said:Me and I have been juicing oranges a lot lately, especially now with everyone getting sick. Honestly, I’d rather just eat them because it feels like you get more out of it, but we ended up buying this batch with super thin skins that are impossible to peel, so everyone just ends up juicing them instead. Probably isn't the healthiest way to do it, but I usually grab a white coffee first thing in the morning—thoughts?

You want my thoughts?! Fine, here they are:
If you've got oranges with those stubborn skins where you try to force them open and end up just mangling the fruit and spraying juice everywhere, don't bother juicing. Just take a sharp knife, slice them into quarters, and pull the segments away from the skin by hand to eat them properly... forget juicing... you're basically flushing all the most nutritious parts of the fruit right down the drain...

I actually found this snippet somewhere, check it out:
When you eat citrus fruits, peeling and tossing the rind actually destroys an incredible source of vital nutrients (think Vitamin C, bioflavonoids, calcium, etc.). Real foodies know to dry out the peels from oranges, lemons, or tangerines in the sun and then grate them into baked goods so you can actually save most of those goodies.

Gerald Rivera17 said:I’m not really feeling it either 😉 but I usually spend my mornings squeezing out some fresh orange juice, maybe a lemon, or occasionally a grapefruit if I’m feeling fancy.

Then comes breakfast.
Then the first cup of coffee.
And then, finally, that first cigarette. 🙂

👍 moving from healthy toward slightly less unhealthy 😉

I honestly don't get the logic behind this whole thing—like, why on earth would someone bother squeezing fresh orange juice first thing in the morning when you could just eat an actual orange?
where’s even the fun in that!

Dermatitis might help take the edge off the symptoms, but cellulite? I’m afraid that one's a lost cause.
