And you know, you don't even have to be a kid to enjoy these things! My family has always been about stretching out Christmas gift opening, and as everyone got older and the general number of gifts dwindled (at least, from when we were kids and would have like 10-15 little-medium toys and one or two "big" gifts) down to a handful of nice things each, we needed something that went beyond one-at-a-time gift opening as a group and started this despite the "kids" being in our 20s at the time. My mom handled all of the clues for the first few years, but then in the last two my siblings and I have started stepping up to do it ourselves and put our own creative spins on it (this year was my year, so I wrote a song that set up a story about an evil elf that escaped from the north pole and stole a bunch of our presents and continued that narrative in longer-form rhyming clues than we normally do).

Like, two of us are already in our 30s with the youngest not far behind, none of us have kids, and we still look forward to it every year. Also helps that once the gifts are found and gathered, we break for mimosas/bloody marys and breakfast before getting into the actual opening. It's just fun to have a Christmas morning that lasts a few hours rather than 5 minutes when people are just tearing into things on their own.

I recently had 2nd knee surgery and surgeon said arnica gel was showing good results on speeding healing. I used it and def seemed to make bruise yellow earlier than my 1st surgery when I didn’t use it.

I dropped 90lbs a while back. It was always very encouraging to hear that people noticed. But when they would say things like "ah well ya carried the weight well." I always thought "my knees, feet, and back didn't think so."

2fa, 15+ character password, and not a fool about where I put my credentials into = I’ve never been hacked.

It’s really not that hard I don’t understand how people get hacked so often.

Another tip is if you’re going to use passwords multiple times, never use your important password(s) for sites that you don’t have a lot of trust in, security-wise.

>If your email shared a password with any of those accounts on compromised sites they would have access to your emails too, and be able to get to the 2FA and delete the email before you even knew it arrived.

Nope, it was different. That's what got me so perplexed. Maybe they just stole all pw saved on browser still doesn't explain lack of 2fa mail.

And how does one get tricked in to giving 2fa lol. The same kind of people who share CC details with strangers.

One of my other email was hacked too, and the hacker is still trying to get in, it was a burner account so I don't care but steam keeps sending me 2fa mail which was conspicuously absent for my main account.

Steam guard is too much of a PITA cuz steam just keeps kicking the account off from phone and I had to re-login every time, I had it for a couple of months but then went back.

That's better than throwing away the cat. Good idea.

Several essentials oils have been studied and found to be helpful with bruises and pain. Lavender is probably the most common. Arneca, turmeric, frankincense as well.

My husband had a NASTY bruise on the top of his foot. Bruising covered almost the entire top of his foot and he could barely wear a shoe. Lavender essential oil help dissipate the bruising quite quickly.

Side note: Never use essential oils undiluted.

Better yet sot for an hour, talk 20 minutes and inspire 40 minutes of memories from before you were around

If your email shared a password with any of those accounts on compromised sites they would have access to your emails too, and be able to get to the 2FA and delete the email before you even knew it arrived. With Steam Guard though, it's not connected to email or a phone number, it's an app on your mobile device, so the only way to get in would be to physically steal your device first. Edit: or trick you into giving them the 2FA code, as another user said.

A bag of frozen peas and some rest should do the trick

Most topical relief is only mildly effective. The best recommendations here are rest, mobilisation for blood flow and gcold therapy for inflammation.

I don't know how many times I've got to say it. Seeing as though it was the most random password going and wasn't reused. The only plausible thing would be steam leak. But again doesn't even matter with 2FA. I also don't know how obvious I have to make it, before anyone else comments on having a keylogger, that I don't have a keylogger. Because once again, I've only ever had this issue with steam

That’s exactly what I thought lmao

Sorry to break it to you. If you are getting log in attempts on Steam with 2fa, someone has your password. Either you got phished, your password was reused and leaked from somewhere or you have a keylogger.

Happens with my Venmo. I finally decided to change my password. But for days I was getting attempts to log in.

Which is fine I always delete my bank account and or card info when I am done using those types of account. I rarely use them.

I hate having my cards or account attached to a bunch of apps or services.

I see u smoke otherwise youd say stronger equals better.

If you have a kung fu school nearby they might have a bottle of Dit Da Jow they can sell you. That stuff will disappear a bruise overnight.

There is a near equivalent to Jow on the market in the US, called Absorbine jr.

Its a similar formula using American herbs instead of Chinese ones, but I never tried it on a bruise

Idk about that. The longest lasting toy for my pit is a squeaky crusaunt that she treats like a baby and cries if she makes the toy squeak lol she carries and hides it everywhere!

Well, I tell my kids I'll just get my saw out of the garage, but they never take me up on it.

It's just a bruise. It'll heal up on its own.
