Please reblog for larger sample size. C:

Ok a poll:

(For context I was inspired by a local restaurant releasing a thanksgiving themed sandwich with turkey, cranberry sauce and stuffing on a SANDWICH and I literally gagged and I can't imagine anyone paying money for that kind of food)

Large Num-Num

(carissa macrocarpa)

Not to be confused with num-num (carissa bispinosa)

Also known as natal plum or amathungulu

Often grown in coastal areas, the large num-num is native to southern Africa. The flowers of this species bloom throughout summer and autumn, together with its oblong, plum-resembling red fruits which are used in pies, jams, jellies, and sauces. The fruits are said to taste similar to cranberries and are often used as a substitute for them. Carissa macrocarpa contains latex and because of the similarities to other plants with milky sap it's often thought that the other parts of the plant are poisonous. According to the University of Pretoria this is not true and they have classified the species as harmless.

You're not gonna see the poll that triggered this post for a few days bc my queue is backed up af right now, but it reminded me of something, that reminded me of the post talking about disagreeing that saying the phrase "I love you" so much, waters it down

I vehemently disagreed with that post but could never put it into words why. I don't think I necessarily have the words now, but I feel I'm close enough to try.

The "sign of mental illness besides 'old soul' or 'pleasure to have in class' in childhood" that I had that nobody picked up on, was

Being labeled a crybaby.

I know now that they were meltdowns due to overstimulation and the stress that developed my complex ptsd and dissociative disorder.

I knew they weren't normal, but I didn't know what to do about them. All I knew is that nobody believed that they were genuine.

They didn't think this bc they thought I was lying. They didn't think this bc they thought I was faking.

They thought this bc I cried too much for what they considered normal.

Of course instead of coming to the conclusion that I needed actual help, they just decided I should be ignored, which was also shitty of them, but the point is that

My emotion happened too much for them to believe it was genuine. To believe that it meant something serious, anymore.

Now that was a shitty thing to do to a child, but the grain of truth to their instincts was that love bombing is a thing, where too much emotion is used as a manipulation tactic.

I am unfortunately very familar with love bombing as well bc of the other reasons I developed complex ptsd and a dissociative disorder.

Ironically the dissociative disorder allows me to do the thing of holding two truths at once like this.

An emotion you express can be very real to you, but it doesn't mean the same thing to the person you are expressing it to bc of what is normal to them.

In a meeting of peers, it's not really anyone's fault when these things are genuine. It's just a different sort of incompatible access needs situation.

Bc in those kinds of situations, you're not going to be hearing each other. You may be speaking the same language, but the way you each perceive normal, changes the meaning of almost every word in subtle ways that you don't notice, bc its like the shifting of continents.

It's a hard thing to realize, but I am thankful that I know this. It makes it easier to tell when to stop wasting my energy on an argument.

I didn't want to be thankful for anything during this time of year out of spite for all of the things wrong with the usamerican holidays.

It's bittersweet.

Like I imagine cranberry sauce is, bc I've never tried it, and if that seems really abnormal to you, then that's a good sign to not waste your energy on an argument here.

This post is a spiritual experience, and every addition makes it even more holy.

P.S. They do sell Ocean Spray sweetened cranberry goo in a can in Canada as well. Also bags of actual uncooked whole cranberries in bags with an Ocean Spray logo.

[Of course, we see it in early October each year, because unlike those heathens south of the border, Canada celebrates its harvest festival close to the end of the actual harvest. But I digress.]

However, while I’ve met Canadians who’ve served Ocean Spray cranberry goo in a can at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and even Easter, I’ve never met anyone who served it exactly as it comes out of the can. The people I know zap it in the microwave until it’s hot and losing its shape. Then mash it with a fork until it looks like actual cranberry sauce.

It still doesn’t taste like actual cranberry sauce after it’s been nuked, of course, but at least it looks the part. And saves perhaps 3 minutes out of the whole 10 minutes of prep it takes to make real cranberry sauce with frozen Ocean Spray actual cranberries.

However, I cannot rule out the possibility that Canadians I have not yet met serve it straight out of the can, cold, and still in the can shape. I’ve never met anybody who will admit they want Pierre Poilievre to be our next prime minister, but opinion polls tell me there are many such people. Therefore there must also be can purists lurking in our midst.

We are a nation of 40 million people, after all. There could be Canucks who engage in barbaric cultural practices like letting the sweetened cranberry goo slide out of the can and serving it exactly like that. 40 million people leaves room for lots of cranberry torturing weirdos.

And they look out so hard for the well being of the spiders AND the dolphins

Thanksgiving dinner

The centerpiece of contemporary Thanksgiving in the United States and in Canada is Thanksgiving dinner (informally called turkey dinner), a large meal generally centered on a large roasted turkey. Thanksgiving could be considered the largest eating event in the United States as measured by retail sales of food and beverages[1] and by estimates of individual food intake.[2] People often consume as much as three or four thousand calories during the course of the dinner.[2][3]

Along with attending church services, Thanksgiving dinner remained a central part of celebrations from the holiday's early establishment in North America.[4] In a 2015 Harris Poll, Thanksgiving was the second most popular holiday in the United States (after Christmas), and turkey was the most popular holiday food, regardless of region, generation, gender, or race.[5] At Thanksgiving dinner, turkey is served with a variety of side dishes which can vary from traditional, such as mashed potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce,[6] to ones that reflect regional or cultural heritage.

Given that days of thanksgiving revolve around giving thanks, the saying of grace before Thanksgiving dinner is a traditional feature of the feast.[8] Many of the dishes in a traditional Thanksgiving dinner are made from ingredients native to the Americas, including turkey, potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin and cranberries. The Pilgrims may have learned about some of these foods from Native Americans, but others were not available to the early settlers. The tradition of eating them at Thanksgiving likely reflects their affordability for later Americans.[9] Early North American settlers did eat turkey, but the lavish feasts that are frequently ascribed to Thanksgiving in the 17th century were a creation of nineteenth-century writers who sought to popularize a unifying holiday in which all Americans could share.

If you eat oatmeal, do you add water or milk to it and what’s your favorite flavor? Water, and I love the peaches and cream

Have you ever been brave enough to cut your hair in a very different way and if you have, did you regret your decision after? Actually, just this year back in June I did something I never (and no one who knows me, family or not) would have ever thought I’d do: I shaved my head. I have a really big head due to a rare form of cancer I have, plus skin tumors/scars from removals of them scattered on my scalp as well so now that’s all out in the open. But my hair had gotten so matted and damaged I could barely wear my all day-every day ponytail I’ve done for decades now or wear a hat over it to hide the dirty mess....so I decided to bite my near panic attack at the thought and shaved it all off completely (pulling a complete Demi Moore in GI Jane) so my hair could regrow itself healthy and strong and I immediately felt like a badass! I couldn’t stop running my hands over my head and it was so liberating! It’s gotten longer now but still short and sticks up everywhere cause it’s at a weird length, too short to do anything with cause I’m due for a trim/shave in certain spots but I surprised myself at the fact that I was so cool with it and didn’t feel as self conscious as I feared I would and had no regrets at all! Huge stepping stone for me!

What was the last book you had to read for school and did you enjoy it or were you just trying to get through? Oh lord, I graduated 11 years ago so...umm I think it was The Great Gatsby in senior year cause I had to take a sophomore level English Lit to make up credits from moving through so many high schools before that. I loved it, very intriguing book with unique and diverse personalities and had some really good messages throughout, both boldly in your face and underlying in symbolism.

Has anyone you know personally ever won the lottery and if so, how much did they win and would you or have you ever played the lottery? No sadly lol and yeah I’ve played some numbers but obviously I never hit shit :P

What was the first election you were able to vote in and if you aren’t old enough yet, will you vote in the first election possible? Well I turned 18 in 2010, so Obama was only in for 2 years at that point which means my first time to be “able” to vote was at his 4 year mark so I was 20, and I didn’t vote. Damn sure didn’t vote for the last two either. So basically I’ve been legally allowed to vote for 11 years now, almost 12, and still never set foot in a voting booth/poll. I can’t stand politics, never could and never will.

When you come across a word that you don’t recognize, do you look it up or try to use context to figure out what it means? Look it up but I do usually think it over to try and figure it out beforehand/during given my curiosity

How many friends have you hung out with in the last week? None, just fiance and members in my IOP group 3 times a week plus meeting a new group of people at AA

If you were going to be a teacher, what subject would you teach and what age group? Hmm...either English Lit or Social Studies, always had a knack and drive for them. I’d prefer to teach an older grade so high school age

What was the last thing someone has sincerely thanked you for? Sticking through a month as of today of not slipping with drinking...longest I’ve been sober since the addiction took over 8-9 years ago

If you could only own a hair dryer, curling iron or straightener, which one would you choose? Don’t need a straightener (hair is poker straight and thick as all hell, always has been), and can’t curl it even saturated with hair spray and mousse so...I guess hair dryer

If you aren’t religious, do you feel awkward at social situations when there’s a benediction, prayer, etc. and if you are religious, how often do you pray? Never been religious, I refer to myself as spiritual as I have my own beliefs and yeah it’s awkward in a prayer/religious setting but I don’t judge or mind...just as long as you don’t try to shove the book down my throat like a lot of people do

What’s your favorite type of art to take part in? Music and writing

What band, celebrity, etc. do you know the most information about and who would you like to learn more about? Definitely Alexz Johnson and Eminem for knowing most about...but I’m not celeb crazed like that so I’m not gonna actively look into every detail of their personal lives
