I’ll have to try this since I don’t like mayonnaise. Tho if the tuna is flavorful enough it covers the taste. Actually I rarely make tuna salad any more since I discovered Jersey Mike’s.
Ah, but some of us don’t claim that mayo is a “necessary evil”, but that it’s beautifully compatible with the taste of tuna salad. Also necessary with any sandwich that involves lettuce and tomato. My personal fave is Hellman’s. This site rates it near the top but notes that the variations among the good brands are very much a matter of personal taste. Maybe those who claim they don’t like mayo have it confused with Miracle Whip. In the above taste test, it was rated dead last, consistent with what other folks here have said.
Mayo, (real mayo not Miracle Whip) is an absolute necessity for certain things.
But the caveat is moderation. Too much is gross, not enough is sad. And mayo does not belong on burgers!
Miracle whip is an excellent exfoliant. That is the only reason I buy it. Great face mask.
Soooooo so SO. I retired when covid hit, and live off of my IRA investments. For those who have been watching, the stock market has been tanking big time, and all evidence points to continued tanking. It is within the realm of possibility that, if my accounts were to continue to shed value at this pace, I would no longer expect to live off of them. I would have to un-retire. This does not make me happy. At all.
Who the hell talks like this except for stupid corporate leadership?
“Myself and our engineering leadership team will also be hosting…”
Gah!!! I hate to read shit like this. If they would only use the rule of leaving out the other people, they POSSIBLY would see how dumb it sounds. “Myself will be hosting…”
Ok. Carry on.
I woke up rather early this morning feeling like I had swallowed/inhaled concrete. It was just mucus but I felt very yucky. After a hot shower, I got a bit more cleaned out and felt marginally better but I wasn’t sure why I was so congested.
Then it hit me. Trees. The damn trees are doing their annual mating dance. Fuckin allergies.
Yep. Plants gotta bukkake everyone and everything.
We should get a restraining order.
Agreed. I think part of the reason it’s so damned annoying is that it’s a double stupidity – first, it’s an entirely unnecessary and pretentious attempt to sound formal, and second, it’s an incompetent and grammatically ridiculous construction.
Maybe he should also add: “Myself will require yourself to attend.”
Maybe it’s SovCitSpeak for “I.” My self will not create joinder with you.

For those claiming mayonnaise is a necessary evil for tuna salad, etc., try making those with plain Greek yoghurt instead.
Greek yogurt is an excellent substitute for mayonnaise or sour cream.
I use avocado to make tuna salad. Way better than Satan’s Semen.

That must be why my allergies were AWFUL last night. One of my eyes was itchy and stinging like it had hot sauce in it, and I kept sneezing when I tried to go to sleep. If not for antihistamines, I probably wouldn’t have slept at all.

If not for antihistamines, I probably wouldn’t have slept at all.
And this is part of the problem of why I didn’t sleep well. I don’t have any non-expired antihistamines in the house that aren’t for children. I don’t think it would be a good idea to try to figure out the right adult dosage for an adult of bubblegum flavored liquid Benadryl.
Adult is usually 50 mg.

Are you stuck in the house? Any drug store sells antihistimines over the counter. The packages usually tell you which brand name they’re the equivalent of, if that helps.
I’ve got enough Chlorphenarimine (generic CVS brand) to get me through “Sexy Tree Time”. Oh, that’s the same as ChlorTrimeton, I sometimes use Cetrizine (same as Zyrtec).
Services like InstaCart or DoorDash will fetch pharmacy items to you if you’re willing to pay a delivery fee and tip.

Are you stuck in the house?
No, but I haven’t had time to go out and get medicine. I’ll go after work. I should have asked my husband to go last night but I, naively, thought I had good stuff in the house.

I got a gigantic bottle of tiny pink generic Benadryl pills from Amazon for a pittance.

We hoped to retire early to mid 2023, and things were looking pretty good financially for us. But now - ick. I was just starting to not GAF about some projects at work but now I’d better buckle down and try to act professional again. Who knows how long I’m going to have to keep doing this.
