Love that trick, @margaret_singh1. I mix them into my soil too.

At 90 feet?" That's terrifying.

Actually, the weekly thing ruins the whole water cooler talk part too. You can't even have a real chat about theories because someone is always two episodes behind and scared of spoilers. By the time the finale airs, half the people you started watching with have already dropped off. Binging it means everyone is on the same page at the same time, so the conversations are way better and actually happen.

My dermatologist in Seattle told me to never steam for more than three minutes. She said that much heat and moisture can actually weaken the skin barrier over time, making redness and sensitivity worse in the long run. I tried longer sessions like you mentioned and my rosacea flared up badly for a week. It might work for a one time extraction, but I worry it's causing damage that isn't immediately obvious. I stick to a warm washcloth now for a minute to gently soften things up.

We had a fifty dollar cash envelope just for the car. That covered a tow or a flat tire without wrecking the whole grocery budget for the month. It kept us from dipping into savings for every little thing.
