PSA 3:

Also botulism is no joke. It is tasteless, odorless, and doesn’t off-gas like other microorganisms and thrives in an anaerobic environment and begins to grow within 48 hours of improper canning. It can kill you from a spoonful or even smelling a jar! You will not know from smell or taste!

PSA Part 2:

be sure to ask the canner/gifter the source of their recipe. If they say “it’s a family recipe” I would not eat it and toss it (for your family’s safety!) The ONLY safe recipes are lab tested recipes from Ball or NCHFP or local extension offices- canning is a strict science not an art!

Annual Pre-Holiday PSA from a canner: if you get a jar as a gift ✨REMOVE THE METAL RING✨

The ring is ONLY used during canning and during transport. You WANT the seal to come off if the contents goes bad. You do NOT want a false seal if there is a leak in the jar. YOUR FAMILY COULD GET VERY SICK!

Also going to the movies were like “ummm… which one sounds good- maybe ‘Stop! Or my Mom will shoot’? That one could be good!” 😭😭😭

I don’t think younger people understand just how much time of our youth was spent uninfluenced. For example, I would go to the library and just spend hours reading the backs of books and take them home, check them out, read them, and then realize I hated it after many invested hours. Rinse, repeat.

It was interesting and @comraderobot.bsky.social put his Spanish skills to maximum use! (I heavily relied on Google Translate while being barely conscious)

Yeah that’s what it was like for me also but I was in rural Costa Rica so had no ability to get surgery back then! (Thankfully the stone unblocked itself before it became worse)

Don’t be afraid of gallbladder surgery! Everyone on TikTok will make you think it’s the worst decision ever.
