What's on your Wednesday Menu?

just did some googling. The books is called "Tightrope: Americans Reaching for Hope" by Nicholas Kristof.

If I was poor, and wanted pot, I'd just be growing my own.

yes - me too. Although I can't think of any other reason why they'd have a preponderance of pot stores around there.

or maybe it was near the border, and recreational pot isn't legal in New Hampshire? That could be another potential explanation. Recreational pot is legal in Illinois, but not in Wisconsin. I bet every Illinois border town has one...

Just checked. Recreational marijuana is legal in Maine and Vermont - but not in New Hampshire. So that could be the reason, too...

I have family photos from the 1800's and early 1900s. They lived on farms in Ireland and when a photographer came to town they would dress up and have a picture taken. One side was tall and slim, the other side short and heavy. Descendants are pretty evenly split the same way. A lot is genetic and who you take after.

Yep. I remember during my last round of major weight loss the doctor told me I was built like a farm girl and that I'd not make it under 170 because of how big my frame is. I chose to take that as a compliment. I know plenty of women who are naturally super willowy and slender. The women in my family...not so much.

There really is a ton of variety in humanity and it's part of what makes beauty standards so dangerous. I also remember reading somewhere that if Barbie was real she'd have to be over seven feet tall for her plastique physique to work out.
