Ms. Eight @ms8.bsky.social · 22/08/2026If you have a hard time swallowing pills then buy a powder form and add to water. A little lemon or lime juice. An help with the flavor depending on how sensitive you are to flavors. You can also take topical magnesium in lotion form or take the occasional epsom salt bath (in addition to oral) 100
Ms. Eight @ms8.bsky.social · 22/08/2026The glycinate form is the gold standard (“bisglycinate” is the same thing). The malate form is also good and can be good for brain/neural stuff, but you’re splitting hairs for most people. Mg oxide is just pointless because you absorb almost nothing. 110
Ms. Eight @ms8.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Former St. Francis alum, too! I appreciate the separation. 020
Ms. Eight @ms8.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I don’t buy those as often but I mostly save them when I do. They just don’t stick around very long because they often go home with guests containing leftovers from parties or dinners 010
Ms. Eight @ms8.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I’m hit. I can’t read the article so I don’t know the details, but I know this: * I use the vast majority of the jars * I recycle them when the lid gets icky or rusty * Just because you rarely use them doesn’t mean they aren’t used * Yes you have used one before: pasta salad for work 230
Ms. Eight @ms8.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Ok fair. I’m just learning that we have confirmation that our depth is… not that deep 111
Ms. Eight @ms8.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Yes, we’re guaranteed to continue even if we lose, but I mean I saw some people getting angry and I’m wondering… how necessary is that really? I think of this as exposure for the guys who wouldn’t normally compete 110
Ms. Eight @ms8.bsky.social · 26/06/2026I just turned it on so I am uninformed: did the US swap out all (or most) 11 players to save them for the next round? The guys around Rebecca Lowe all said that’s what they think the US should do for this game 130

Reposted by Ms. EightBrent Toderian @brenttoderian.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has foolishly cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, and homelessness is predictably now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if lazy political ideology doesn’t get in the way.ysaatio.fiHomelessness on the Rise in Finland - Y-SäätiöAsunnottomien ihmisten määrä on kääntynyt kasvuun.

Ms. Eight @ms8.bsky.social · 26/05/2026But look into “Lyme” disease anyway, because there’s little l lyme and big L Lyme which = chronic infections. 000
Ms. Eight @ms8.bsky.social · 26/05/2026He’s right. You only need 5 seconds outside, and it doesn’t even have to be a tick. A mosquito will do just as well. Or a flea. Doesn’t have to be the specific bacteria that causes Lyme, it can be any number of other infectious organisms (virus, Protozoa, etc). Also look into mold. 100

Ms. Eight @ms8.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Being tall I avoided high heels in my youth because I was self conscious. When I finally stopped caring about that I realized I couldn’t wear most heels because the heel of my foot is not centered over a spiked heel. So casual shoes will always be where I’m at. Ah well 020
Ms. Eight @ms8.bsky.social · 05/05/2026I don’t have bunions, so all my recommendations are about needing arch support and preferably some cushion (I’m tall and big and need the cushion). Vionic and Abeo have been helpful for me lately. And I ofteb buy any shoe with a removable insole so I can add my store-bought (not custom) orthotic. 120
Ms. Eight @ms8.bsky.social · 02/05/2026This sucks and I’m sorry you’re dealing with it. The (hard, they’re always hard) lesson is that your worth is in YOU and not what you do, give, or produce. I hope you can allow yourself peace and respite so you can heal. 000
Ms. Eight @ms8.bsky.social · 02/05/2026I love both of these poppies! My next tattoo will be the golden poppies and maybe an outline of the state. But I can’t find/decide on the artistic style so I get frozen. 020
