Although I was born in 1980, I had a very rural childhood. The propane man would come every 3 months and if we ran out before then, we couldn't cook at all. If I climbed on top of the propane tank and pretended it was a horse, I would get the beating of my life from any adult present. Same went if I pounded it with my hands to hear the cool liquidy echo. We pumped all our own water into a giant tank. We had to continually pump during droughts, because if the well ran dry, we would be out of...

Yesterday, it's been approximately five and a half months since my last meltdown. Today, it's been zero days since my last meltdown. Several factors have piled up that eventually caused it - and I am a tad bit ashamed to admit that all of them stem from the current global situation. Since I started intensively researching autism, I have come to understand myself significantly better, to the point where I learned to identify, and in consequence, avoid situations or circumstances that could...

In a more dystopian mood, I was given 2 sets of letters today from my oncologist. They were instructions to the police to allow me to leave my home and be driven to the doctor. One is for my father's car, and one is for my wallet. I gave my dad his, and he surprised me by showing me a similar letter from my mother's work, giving her permission to leave the house to be driven to work. THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Not some Soviet Bloc Country. My dad, when he saw my...

My friend showed me this video and it's so real. His words cut into my heart because he's saying what everyone else is afraid to. Please watch it and heed his words.

How to make cheese in the crock pot: Heat up a gallon of milk in the crock pot. Once scalding, turn off heat. While still very hot, stir in 1/2 cup of vinegar. Put lid on and let milk cool for several hours, or overnight. Strain it through a cheesecloth lined colander. The curds are delicious, soft farmer cheese. I lightly salt mine to bring out the flavor. The clearish/ yellow liquid is whey, which can be used in any cooking recipe that calls for milk. I promise it will make it taste...

How to make "vegetarian chicken meat" from gluten. It's called Seitan and is eaten quite often in Asia: It is very nourishing and filling. Good source of high protein.
