Got the melatonin… returned it for containing lactose ;-; I’m now checking out iHerb.

Not seeing ingredients on some… Lactose is used to bind stuff into pills so maybe the gel caps might be alright. The gummies I found have ingredients and while not great they might be tolerable.

Does anyone know a good word processing shareware/freeware program? I don't want to give microsoft any more oxygen than I have to. Needs to be able to hold some fairly large files. Compatible with pdf a plus.

I've tried open office, Google docs, libre Office... I've always seemed to have issues with compatibility when someone opens my file (saved as a DOCX by one of these programs) in Ms Word. Paragraphs will be misaligned, fonts are different, headings not recognised etc.... I've been using OnlyOffice recently. I haven't had any issues yet. Limited fonts though.

LibreOffice is probs the major alternative.

+1 libreoffice is great. PowerPoint replacement is still clunky but word and excel replacements are great

I have eaten too many choc coated raspberries. I regret nothing, but I will need to replenish the toilet paper tomorrow as a matter of urgency.

OMG the YouTube algorithm is absolute dog shit.

I agree. It's just so easy for people to manipulate too. Just gotta pay google.

worked hard again today, I'm covered in bruises from the past week doing physical stuff,

and it's just been real weird with fam , it's like I'm living with aliens. Barely a single word out of their mouths makes sense to me.

on a positive note doing all this physical work is giving me some core muscle strength and my posture has greatly improved!! Now to lose another 20 kilos and I'll be feeling great. πŸ™‚

I saw drawings today of Samus levitating pizza with her mind and finally saw the Nintendo Direct for it to make sense. It just reminds me I need to finish Dread
