Freedom from hayfever.
Take antihistamines, run air filter in house?
I assume you don’t suffer from it. Even with the house closed up, the AC on, multiple air purifiers running 24/7, and regular antihistamines it’s still a fucking bitch during pollen season. Hell even adding a Sudafed while venturing outside doesn’t fully negate the effects.
You learn to deal with it, but it’s still sucky.
I used to get bad sinus infections from Sudafed. It took me years to figure it out. Apparently it causes inflammation that was obstructing the natural flow of my sinus passages, and the stagnation resulted in frequent infections. Just sharing in case anyone else is struggling with the same.
Daily non drowsy + steroid = not enough
There are now exactly 3 antihistamines I recommend, for different reasons…
- Cetirizine Hydrochloride
- Desloratadine
Those 2 are a recent-generation of antihistamines, & both are remarkable compared with the make-you-incompetent-to-fucking-walk-straight antihistmines I grew up with.
- Benadryl
I’ve read that immediately chewing your max-dose of Benadryl can help with things like allergic-reaction to bee-stings, snake-bite, etc, & therefore should be in one’s 1st-aid kit.
Now they’ve got liqui-gels?
Maybe I should fix my 1st-aid kit, then…
Oh, from what I’ve read, the Desloratadine is better than the Loratadine: it has been noted to produce fewer side-effect harms, in studies.
ttbomk, Loratadine requires more biological processing by our bodies, to do its work, so its biochemistry cost is higher, to the one taking it.
I’ve found the generic brands of Cetirizine & Desloratadine work fine, for me.

Temperatures between 14 and 25 degrees Celcius.
We have that in Imperial Beach. There are no vacancies.
Egg nog.
Homemade nog is the best, and you can make it any time you want!
All you need is an egg and a nog
Pretty sure you can make that anytime you like?
Cold evenings with warm cat cuddles.
Don’t like how unpleasant these are for much of the year
It’s not even summer yet and I’m already contemplating if I can afford to move to New Zealand for half the year.
Ripe fruits!

Cadbury cream eggs
Goodbye teeth, hello diabetes.
I’m pretty sure that those are available year round. I tend to see them throughout the year. If your local retailer doesn’t carry them year-round, you can just order 'em online.
Yeah they’re around all year
ya’ll buyin 11 month old creme eggs
Stale peeps are the bomb tho. I can only assume creme eggs are just as good.
McRib
I tried it once. That was enough. Underwhelming, much like most of their menu.
While we’re at it, McGriddles at all hours of the day
They did this actually, and it failed miserably. Around 2105isj
2105? Bruh you’re in the wrong century
Also please let me use the time machine
Well, fyi they tried it again 90 years later. It failed then too…
It has more to do with how they do shit than the fact they offered breakfast all day.
None of their competitors have issues serving everything on their menu at any time they are open, but none of those other restaurants are that picky about burgers, sausage patties and eggs being cooked on the same griddle.
The craziest time of day at the McDonald’s locations I work at is the switch from breakfast to lunch, because they have to practically transform the kitchen. It’s ridiculous.
Well, I mean, they cook at different temperatures, that’s the biggest reason. The tradeoff for speed is that everything there has to be accurate, down to the second for cooking. The clamshells I remember we had to switch them to different modes, fryer had to heat to a different temperature, etc. Then you need to be able to keep all of the other stuff at temperature before serving too, and all of the other ingredients. Not defending them, but I do understand what it takes.
Ah yes, nothing like [product] for a nice [diseases].
Girl scout cookies
My closest grocery store has knockoffs that are available year-round.
It looks like various companies have also done so.

I imagine that if they aren’t available in your local grocery store, that you might be able to order them.
Though, of course, you’re not making a donation to the Girl Scouts that way, but you can just do that directly, if you’d like.
Those things should just go away. It’s basically sawdust at this point.
Snow
butternut squash
If you have room to stock up they’ll keep for months, I still have a squash or two from our last summer harvest.
Wish I did. Thanks for the tip though 😁
Cinnamon butter! It just tastes better when a megacorp makes it.
I must ask… what is cinnamon butter?
Butter with sugar and cinnamon in it.
Ahh nice, so simple
Shamrock shake?
Along with a big slice of Cookie-o’puss
Well, if that’s not terrifying, I don’t know what is.
Based on this, looks like you can start with a vanilla shake, add mint extract, and add green food coloring.
This is basically it, yes, but sometimes I’m drunk-ordering 40 nuggets and a milkshake and adding the mint myself is enough effort to make me reconsider my reckless disregard for my wellbeing.
Peppermint hot chocolate.
… Swiss Miss with a shot of peppermint schnapps?
(Also try it with Sailor Jerry’s spiced rum instead of the peppermint schnapps, though that’s totally different)
(I should note that I make SM with water, not milk, so if you make it with milk and it sucks, don’t blame me. Though, on the subject of white liquids, eggnog with peppermint schnapps is also good)
(Maybe I should try eggnog with Sailor Jerry’s to round out the set. What? You say that’s a thing people do already?)
This one is trivial to make at home thankfully. Go pick up a bottle of peppermint extract!
Blue Jay’s staring through my window in the morning
And their death screech to say good morning :). I like BJs too but fine with the robins winning the territory this year.
