Late Night Cravings

Trigger warning: brief smut, pregnancy, fall, Andy Barber, fluff

Summary: Andy finds you in the kitchen, eating late at night. You both have an idea.

"Sweetheart?" says Andy, as he rolls on his back.

He goes to roll you into his chest. You and Andy recently returned from your honeymoon, and right now, you both wanted to sleep. Except, Joy had a different idea.

Pregnancy wasn't taking a lot out of you, like it did at first. You were sick for the entire first trimester. You had hyperemesis gravidarum, now you just wanted to eat. You and the baby needed all the calories you could get.

You fixed yourself some Stouffer's French Bread Pizza in the Supreme flavor. You had a hot fudge sundae with whipped cream, nuts, and a maraschino cherry on top. You also had a glass of grapefruit flavored sparkling water.

Andy was looking all over the house for you. He finds you in the kitchen, knitting, while waiting for your pizza to finish baking.

"Sorry, sweetness. I'm so hungry. The baby had another idea," you say.

Your pizza finishes baking, and Andy takes it out of the oven. He puts it on a plate, and serves it to you. You eat the pizza.

"I didn't know where you were," says Andy.

"Andy, as someone who's been through this before, you should know when late night cravings hit," you say.

"Finish up, and meet me in the living room," says Andy.

You couldn't argue with that. Whenever you finished what you were craving, you also had the urge to make love to your new husband. You couldn't wait because when you weren't hungry, you were horny as hell. Plus, you and Andy were newlyweds, so you two just couldn't keep your hands off of each other.

You eat your late night meal and late night dessert. You finish your drink, then go upstairs to the bathroom, pee, then brush your teeth. You also find the sexiest lingerie that you could find that would be enough for your four and a half months pregnant belly.

You come back downstairs wearing the silk robe that you got when you and Andy moved in together. You always wanted a silk robe, and with Andy's job, and your salary, you could afford one. So, you bought one.

Andy is sitting on the couch, waiting for you. You grab him, look at him, make eye contact, and start.

"Hello, my gorgeous sexy husband," you say.

"Hello, my beautiful, sexy, pregnant wife," says Andy.

You and Andy make eye contact, and you kiss him lovingly and passionately. Andy goes ahead and removes your robe.

Andy keeps kissing you, then breaks it. Seeing you, in sexy lingerie, and your bump on display causes him to become aroused. You go in for another kiss, and you start to slowly remove Andy's pajama pants. When you do, you see that Andy is starting to have an erection, and you can see it in his briefs.

You start to pay attention to Andy's more sensitive spots, and you stop for a minute to remove Andy's shirt. You start again, and after a while, you remove Andy's underwear. He's now sitting on the couch, his erection on full display.

Andy removes your bra, then he removes your panties. You kiss him passionately again, and you line yourself up with him. You lower yourself down on him, and you both proceed to make love. After a while, you let go, with Andy following.

But, you two aren't done. Andy, gets up, with you still on him, and you wrap your legs around him. He then switches so that he can lower down on the couch. You start to rock your hips, and Andy starts to move. You let go again, with Andy following. His warm, white liquid fills you. Andy is kissing you in the spot that makes you see stars. When you Andy make love, it's always been special. it's beautiful. Your love making is now even more intimate with you being pregnant, and the intimacy of making love to your husband is one of the beautiful and special things in the world. Being pregnant with his baby is even more special and beautiful.

You and Andy were also in love, so that even added to your lovemaking. It was amazing just to be underneath your husband. Eventually, you two are worn out. You both snuggle on the couch, underneath a blanket, and fall asleep.

Tomorrow morning, it will be Saturday. Andy and you generally went grocery shopping in the morning, but Andy didn't mind going by himself. In fact, his plan was to let you sleep.

Andy wakes up, the late September sunlight spilling through the living room window. Andy kisses you on your forehead while you're still sleeping, and turns on the coffee. He puts on his clothes, then goes upstairs and showers. He's dressed in sweats and his hoodie, and he has on his tennis shoes. He's already made a list last night, and he's already eating some scrambled eggs and toast. He'll fix you some breakfast when you wake up. For now, he lets you sleep.

Andy goes grocery shopping, and you're still out. It'll be a while, but you're still out like a light. The sleep was a welcome change, seeing as how you were basically sick 24/7, and were hospitalized a few times because of it. Andy felt it was best that you got all the sleep you could get. You needed your rest.

Andy comes back after an hour, and he unpacks the groceries. You wake up, the late September sun spilling on your face. It's a nice, cool day that will be 65 degrees. So, you're just going to wear your pajama pants, and one of Andy's hoodies. You're not even halfway done, and the baby already prefers Andy's clothes.

Andy comes back, and you're already in the shower, and you're washing yourself when Andy comes in. He brings in everything, and he starts to unpack. He leaves out the eggs, the sausage, and he leaves out the bread, butter, and jam. He's not even worried, when he sees you gone from the couch. He had a feeling that you were in the shower.

You come back down in your pajama pants and one of Andy's hoodies. This actually feels comfy for you. You have on your nice, fuzzy socks, and those things are not only warm, they're comfy.

"Good morning, sweetheart. Did you sleep well?" asks Andy.

"I had the most amazing sleep," you say.

"I'll make you some breakfast. Just sit here," says Andy, leading you to the couch. He gives you your knitting bag, and you pick it up, and work on the blanket for your daughter. It's already a nice, sunny yellow with pink accents. You had an inkling that you were having a girl, and your instincts have been right. Everyone that was pregnant with a girl-with the exception of your mother-had been just as sick as you were, both of your aunts were, your sister-in-law was, so were your co-workers. A few weeks later, the ultrasound confirms that you and Andy are having a girl.

Andy makes you breakfast, and you eat it. You're hungry, and your stomach was growling.

"Thanks, Andy. You are one amazing husband," you say, in between bites.

You pull out the slow cooker, brown up the beef, and pour in the ingredients to make chili for dinner. Lunch was going to be homemade Italian subs that Andy made. He would make sure to heat up the meat until it was steaming, and then you would eat your subs. Andy would have his sub hot, too.

The slow cooker is making the chili. You're knitting again, while Andy is next to you, reading his book. You'll put on a movie later that the both of you will watch. You both plan on watching Knives Out, a movie that gives fall vibes.

Plus, you want to make Andy a Ransom Drysdale sweater, and you're going to do that when you get the materials at the local yarn shop on Monday. You know Andy will look great in one, and it will be gift from you and the baby. You're hoping to get it done before Christmas.

The rest of the day is spent with you knitting, and Andy and you are watching a bunch of movies while you wait for the chili to heat up. Eventually, the chili is ready, and both you and Andy have a bowl. Andy has even gotten some cornbread to have with chili.

Eventually, you and Andy clean up the kitchen, then head up to bed. and you both read for a bit. You're teeth are brushed, your face is washed, and you and Andy are loving this new stage in your relationship. You and Andy kiss each other good night, and you both fall asleep in each other's arms. You wake up a few times because you need to pee because of the baby. You and Andy wake the next morning staring into each other's eyes. Andy fixes his coffee, and makes a decaf coffee to your liking.

Things in American Supermarkets that are not worth buying.

Just in case anyone was planning to stay for a while and was getting catfished by the advertisements.

Boxed scalloped/AU gratin potatoes. These potatoes are dehydrated so they’ll keep in the box, and they never rehydrate to the soft texture you want when making these sides. Buying an actual bag of potatoes is a better deal because you can prepare them any way you wish, and you don’t have to use the whole bag at once.

2. Digorno pizza. Not all frozen pizzas are bad, in fact I’d recommend Red Baron because the crust actually gets to a consistent crunchier texture, and the middle is warmer. Digorno’s is bad because the thick crust is lukewarm and dough-ey in the middle. Red Baron also comes in a big 3-pack if you go to Sam’s Club.

3. Frozen TV meals in general. Some things are ok, like the Stouffer’s lasagna, but most dishes do not translate well to being frozen and reheated. The meats in the standard meatloaf, chicken, and Salisbury steak meals are pretty mediocre, but passable. Noodles are usually mushy and not satisfying to eat. A good rule of thumb is not to buy anything that sounds too experimental, like a dish from another culture or something with a gimmick, like celebrity frozen meals.

4. Canned soup as a meal. There are two good reasons to buy Campbells meal soup; for a child or for someone who’s sick. Their cream of soups are ingredients that can be used in casseroles, and they work well. But canned soups meant to be eaten as a meal have mushy noodles and potatoes that are too firm; and some supermarkets have fresh soup for you to take home and heat up. Go for the fresh stuff in the plastic containers near the pre-wrapped deli sandwiches.

5. Hamburger Helper. Supermarket dry pasta can sell for as little as a dollar for a pound, and there are a variety of sauces to choose from. You can even make a casserole using cream of soup and partially cooked dry pasta.

Hamburger Helper is made in a skillet, so there’s always pasta getting stuck or only partially cooked, leaving you with inconsistent and unsatisfying textures when you eat it. College students who aren’t cooking for a crowd usually indulge in this boxed pasta, which is understandable. But you can also freeze your leftovers or meal prep when you make a pasta dish yourself.

6. The cheap snack cake brand donuts. I might get some flack for this, but they aren’t worth it in my opinion. America has a plethora of actual donuts that you can buy, that are the right texture. Krispy Crème donuts are commonly found in convenient stores, and some supermarkets have their own donut case next to the cake and bakery bread.

Cheap snack cake donuts are dry on the inside whether it’s the powdered sugar or chocolate variant, so you always need something to wash them down with. Actual donuts are fluffy, soft bread on the inside, with a good glaze, frosting, or filling for sweetness. There are better snack cakes than these.

#American supermarket food #food #unhealthy foods #amateur advice #The texture is usually not what you hope for based on the image on the box. They want you to hope though.

Her dad's advice on depression? I don't like peanut butter enough to have used it as he described, but I can't lie and say I've never ate my way through an entire package of Stouffer's mac & cheese as a way to self-medicate.

youtube

"I did not grow up in a household that was very, like mental health-conscious. Like, we were very religious.

I don't know if you've ever tried to tell your conservative dad that you have a mental health issue. It doesn't go great.

When I was in high school, I was like, "Dad, I think I'm depressed." And he was like, 'You just need some protein. Get a scoop of peanut butter.'

Yeah, there's a lot of dads out there just white-knuckling it through life right now, clinging to a jar of chunky Jif like it's the answer, just a bouy in the storm. 'It'll pass!'

~makes bobbing motions like a sea bouy~

The only mental health advice my dad ever gave me is I was having panic attacks in high school. And I didn't know what they were, and I was very stressed out. And I was, like, 'I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do when I feel like this. I don't know what to do.'

And he goes, 'Alright. All I can tell you is that when you feel like this, get as far away from the people you care about as possible … until you feel different.'

Which is advice you give a werewolf, like 'Just run into the woods until you're not a monster anymore. Don't let them see you change. They won't accept you for what you truly are.'

If you're feeling like a werewolf, please do let your friends know. They'll either accept you and try to help you through your problems (even if all they can offer is some beef jerky and some chunky Jif).

And if they think you're a monster? Maybe fuck them a little.

“And I don’t think anybody should feel bad if they get diagnosed with a mental illness, ’cause it’s just information about you that helps you to know how to take better care of yourself.

“Being bipolar, there’s nothing wrong with it. Being bipolar is like not knowing how to swim. It might be embarrassing to tell people, and it might be hard to take you certain places. But they have arm floaties. And if you just take your arm floaties, you can go wherever the hell you want.

“And I know some of you are like, ‘But Taylor, what if people judge me for taking arm floaties?’ Well, those people don’t care if you live or die, so maybe who cares? Maybe fuck those people a little. I don’t know.”

Taylor Tomlinson, Look At You (2022)

Eating with Class (systems) (Prompt 6, post #8)

Growing up my favorite food to eat was chipped beef and gravy, sometimes referred to as ‘shit on a shingle’. My dad would make the Stouffers TV dinner for me and my brother on days that my mom worked late, and when he didn’t feel like cooking. To me this is the epitome of a comfort meal, to others it may be seen as a lower-middle-class meal.

How does my class affect the food I eat and vice versa?

As of right now, I live with my parents who are lower middle class. Between Nursing school and health problems, I only work side jobs, so I don't have a huge income. My parents are fully supportive of me as I get through school. My parents would cover all costs for me if they could. They house and feed me, and I pay for my schooling, doctor's appointments, gas, and anything I choose to do in my free time. I am very grateful for this, however, my family is not rich and I have learned to live within and below my means. While I am currently secure, I have a looming fear of all of a sudden having this support system taken from me. This anxiety and my lower-middle class have certainly shaped my relationship with purchasing and food.

For one, I try to spend as least as possible. I will choose options less appetizing because thye are more affordable. Recently my friends and I went to a new restaurant and I ended up getting an order of shrimp, not my favorite but still really good, because it was cheaper than the $30 medium pizza.

This has essentially changed my outlook on food. Rather than being something to enjoy every time you have it, food for me is more of a fuel. That isn’t to say I don’t eat food I love. I do, very often. It's just that I’d rather eat a more nutritious or affordable meal rather than splurge on something less nutritious.

It also has shaped how I consider my food purchases. While researching for this prompt, I came upon an article depicting what higher-middle-class families eat for breakfast. The meals they included ranged from ‘politically correct Colombian coffee” to “imported cheese” on homemade bread with butter (Miller, 2010). With the time and resources I have available, these 'correct' concerns never really crossed my mind. I personally don't drink coffee, but my parents drink Walmart brand donut shop, nothing fancy. Who knows if there is controversy surrounding their coffee. Many families in America don't have the option to choose their foods as ethically as possible. They choose food based on low cost and their families' preferences, much like my family.

My mom enjoys cooking, so we are very lucky to have frequent home-cooked meals. Many working families will have cheaper and less time-consuming alternatives such as frozen dinners and take-out. Having less income requires families to choose generally unhealthy foods to meet basic needs (Wikipedia, 2024). So while we aren’t rich, we can afford to make healthier choices. This has also shaped my food relationship, as I strive to continue to make healthy choices as I grow older and more independent.

I attached a video that discusses further and in-depth how socioeconomic status can affect nutrition. This video highlighted many factors and choices I didn't realize were a reflection of social class, so it is very insightful.

FANCY FNAF MOVIE ➵ Ch. 9

"Glad to see the house is still standing."

Mike said as his little sister ran up to him. "Can I come with you to work tonight?" "No." Mike didn't hesitate. He looked to Fancy.

"Hi." He said softly. "Thanks again for watching her, like I said, I'll pay you... eventually."

"Mike it's fine." "Well if there's anything I can-" "Actually there is." Mike raised a brow at her, he wasn't expecting her to respond so fast or urgently. "You have a VHS player at work right?" Mike nodded. "Yeah why?" "Can I use it?" Mike sighed. "Yeah... yeah I guess so." he replied.

"Why does she get to go to work with you?" Abby complained with a frown. "Because... because she's weird and I have to keep an eye on her to make sure she doesn't commit some kind of felony." Fancy giggled.

"I have to get ready for work anyways." "Oh Mike, there's still some Alfredo left over from dinner if you want some." "Alfredo? What happened to Stouffers?" "If you thought I was going to feed that garbage to your sister then you're actually crazier than I am."

"Garbage?" "I made Alfredo. It was easy and I cleaned up. So you have nothing to worry about, and your sister ate something healthier than flash frozen lasagna." "Okay fine whatever."

Mike walked off to go find his sister who had run into her room with his vest for work. "Abby- no don't take that!" He shouted as he sped his walk into a run. "Abby-" Fancy could hear him from the living room, their banter heartwarming.

"Abby why are your polly pockets in your lizard tank?" "Fancy and I put them in there because they committed tax fraud."

"You- you what?" He sighed. Fancy giggled from the living room, overhearing their exchange. "Do you even know what that is?" "Sure, Fancy told me. It's when you don't give the government the money they want. Do you think we can tell the police that aunt Jane does that? That way we don't have to worry about her anymore?" Mike sighed again. He pulled his vest out of her hands.

"No, Abby, we cannot accuse your aunt of committing tax fraud." "Hey!" She cried. "I want the vest!" He walked out of her room. "Did you really teach my little sister about tax fraud?" He asked Fancy who was holing in a laugh. "Maybe." She replied. Mike Rolled his eyes. "Look, Max is here and I'm running late." He checked his watch. "Come on, Fancy Drew." "Did you just-" "I did. Now let's go."

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

"So what did you need this VHS player for exactly?" Mike asked, the two of them entering that same familiar office, this time together at the same time.

"I have a tape from the police department, it's of some kind of interview from the investigation with the five missing children. It's part of the case file, you probably aren't supposed to view it-" Fancy shrugged.

"I hardly think Officer Hayden Hurst will care." She did a fake professional gruff accent when she said the name of the officer who was supposed to be observing her internship. Mike chuckled.

"So he really is a jerk like Vanessa said?" "Oh my god, Mike you don't even know. He's just awful. Misogynistic and just ew." "Just ew, huh?" "yes! And he makes me call him sir! He's not even like thirty! And he makes me call him sir!" Mike laughed again.

"What?" Fancy asked. "What is so funny?" "Nothing nothing it's just-" "Just what?" "you're so weird." Mike said as he shook his head.

"One second you're acting like a literal lawyer, spitting out technical terms that I can't even hope to comprehend; you're researching serial killers, and now you're sitting here gossiping to me like some sort of 'it girl'. It's just, not what I was expecting." "I'm not what anyone expects." "That's for sure." Mike replied as he shook his head and Fancy pulled the tape from her bag.

"Now for the main event." She said as she wiggled the tape in the air, excitement in her voice. Was it sad that she got excited about these things? She couldn't tell anymore. She reached down and placed the tape in the player, pressed it closed, and then pressed play.

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

Static.

Static rushing between sides of the scream and the screaming of mushy groaning pure sound- TV static. It only lasted less than a minute but it felt like the static looked into her soul, reaching and grasping for that tiny locked box in the back of her mind.

No.

No it couldn't have it. She couldn't open that box with those memories, not here, not now, not with Mike present. He didn't need to know. He couldn't know. Shouldn't know. The static cleared and the TV showed the downward view of an interview table.

A table in a room with three men around it. On one side sat two officers and on the other sat a man that Fancy didn't recognize. One of the officers cleared his throat and tapped his stacked documents against the cold metal table. The sound echoed across the room and through the TV and straight into Fancy's ears.

"Alright, Mr. Patrick," He said, his voice sounded so tired.

Fancy imagined he was, absolutely exhausted. She put herself in his shoes, the unnamed officer assigned to the case originally when it was in it's prime days of investigation.

Every lead he followed turned up cold. Nothing had worked out for this man in 1983 and it wasn't working out for her either. She was reaching the same roadblocks that he had. No evidence.

Wait, did he say Mr. Patrick? As in Ness?

"You willingly came in for this interview, correct?" The man across from them nodded. "I just want to help my community." He said. that voice. She knew that voice. But from where?

"Can you tell us what you know about *RETRACTED*."

Seriously? They were going to play this game? Give her the interview but not the top suspect's name. Fine. she knew who they were talking about anyways. But Mike didn't. Or maybe he did? The retracting of the name was probably for the best anyways since Mike most likely wasn't even supposed to be viewing this. Private police property, confidential, you know?

"Oh I know *RETRACTED* quite well. We're poker buddies. Every Wednesday evening we used get together at my house, his house, or Henry Schmidt's place. That was our group, the three of us. We used to play poker for hours and hours." "Would you say you knew *RETRACTED* pretty well?" "Yes I would say so." "So what can you tell us about December 30th 1983?"

"I can tell you that *RETRACTED* was at my house playing poker until 11:30pm. Roughly, of course." "Was Henry Schmidt there as well?" "As a matter of fact, he was not, he and his wife were out of town for some reason. I can't remember what exactly but I'm sure he could tell you himself if you really wanted to know." "So it was only you and *RETRACTED*?" "Yes." "What time did *RETRACTED* arrive at your address?" "I'd say about five thirty, uh ish."

One of the officers wrote something something down.

"Are you aware of the circumstances under which we are questioning you?" "The missing kids right?" "yes. Do you know anything about the missing children?" "I do not." "Do you know if *RETRACTED* killed them?" "He did not. He was playing poker with me." "Do you know where the bodies were hidden?" "I do not."

One of the officers sighed and shuffled his papers as he leaned back in his chair. "Alright Mr. Patrick I think that's all we have for you. You're free to go." "Thank you." Mr. Patrick said as he stood. "Uh, Mr. Patrick, one more thing," the other officer asked as he stood.

"Would you say that *RETRACTED* has a good poker face?"

"Yes."

I got into bed feeling relieved that the storm was going to miss us and I didn’t have to worry about it waking me up. But what should wake me up instead? A power failure of course. Tom still can’t see that something sure as hell at least seems to be cursing my sleep. That’s 3 times in a week. I might as well be back in Citrus Heights. It’s like something is using other things to make up for the lack of traffic waking me up.

As far as we can tell, no storms are predicted for tomorrow. So if there isn’t another power failure, I guess I’ll just have to have a nightmare instead to ruin my sleep. I likely would have slept only one more hour, but being shorted sleep is being shorted sleep whether it’s by 5 hours or 5 minutes. I would have woken up before the power failure if my body felt it had enough sleep. It’s going to be hard to fully evaluate how helpful the new bed is with other things waking me up. That’s why I’m marking when storms or other things wake me up. It otherwise does seem to be helpful so far when I weed out all the wake-up calls.

I don’t think I’m gonna have the energy to get on the road tonight. I left off in Angola, NY.

I really like the new speech-to-text setup in Windows 11. Definitely want to upgrade my old desktop because it’s so old that it’ll only go up to Windows 10. It might be several months before I do, though.

I thought of the New Mexico thing some more, and I both do and don’t like the idea of it, just like I do and don’t like the idea of remaining in Florida for the rest of my life. That doesn’t mean it would be a bad thing if we did stay here forever which I think will be the case. It would have been bad if we couldn’t have gotten out of Oregon or California.

Right now, I’ve got a couple of chicken wings, corn on the cob, and snow peas going in the slow cooker. I’ve got parchment paper on top of the chicken to separate the veggies from the meat. That won’t be ready for about 6 hours. For now, I have a jumbo potato cooking in the oven. Should be ready soon.

I got a two-pack of French bread pizza by Stouffer’s to share with Tom earlier because I wanted to see if it made me nauseous and crampy, and it didn’t. So maybe it isn’t about grease but dairy. I don’t know what to think, but whatever it is can’t be serious. If it was my liver, I would likely have other symptoms.

The way this speech-to-text works is so awesome. I feel like I could go on and on, and I would like to, but I just don’t have anything else to say. I love how I can pause for a bit and think of what I want to say next and it still keeps running. It’s going to be great for titling, which I want to eventually do with all my LJ entries.

he's all that I've got (don’t take that sinner from me)

(steddie | explicit | 8k | AO3)

“Edward Joseph Munson, 23 years old, 5’10, brown hair and eyes, was last seen at the borders of New Orleans, Louisiana, wearing black jeans and a black shirt. He’s been accused to have murdered Chrissy Cunningham, Patrick McKinney and Fred Benson in spring of 1986 and has been on the run ever since. He is probably armed and considered very dangerous. If you see him —”

Steve turns off the TV with a defeated sigh. Very dangerous, right. Well, he thinks, his smile had been dangerous, and his big brown doe eyes had been dangerous. His way with words, the joyful and uninhibited laughter. The way his hands cupped Steve's face and pressed into that sensitive spot where his ear meets his jaw had been dangerous too.

Steve had never stood a chance against him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Steve is sweeping the floor after the last customer has left, happy to be done for the day, when he sees Nina, his co-worker, approaching. He considers hiding behind the shelves, not in the mood for her flirtatious chitchat. Not today. Seeing Eddie on the news still unsettles him, because it means he has been spotted. It's not safe. None of this is, but it makes it worse. It means he has to go deeper into hiding, where food and shelter may be harder to come by.

Selfishly, he also knows that it means the chances of him getting anywhere near Indiana anytime soon have just dropped below zero.

"Hey Steve, me and the girls were wondering if you would like to join us for an after-work drink at Oak and Alley? You've never spent any time with us outside of work, and we're starting to wonder if you don't like us." She pouts at him from under her long lashes, her delicate hand on his upper arm. In another life, he would have taken her up on what she so clearly laid out for him.

"Sorry, Nina, I already have plans for tonight. Maybe another time, yeah?"

Her hand drops back to her side. "Sure. Maybe another time. See you Monday, Steve." With that, she turns and walks to where Cynthia and Millie are waiting for her, purses in hand, ready to hit the town. Cynthia glares at him over Nina's head and he wonders how long it'll be before he has to find another job. He misses Robin, a fierce pang in his already battered heart.

Coming home around 8 p.m. on a Friday night, he kicks off his shoes and walks into his small kitchenette. He opens the freezer, pulls out a Stouffer's and puts it in the microwave, humming a Metallica song he heard on the radio earlier. While his food warms up, he changes into some sweatpants and turns on the TV, waiting for the obnoxious beep that signals his food is ready. When it's done, he settles back down on the couch, his feet propped up on the coffee table, and absentmindedly digs into his mediocre dinner. It's a familiar dance, as well-worn as the sweatpants he wears.

There's an old Western playing starring Clint Eastwood, but his mind is far away. Memories are the real ghosts, he has learned, not haunting places, but people.

He thinks of Eddie, as he almost always does. There aren't many memories to choose from, too little time spent together and too much time in between. Today, perhaps dislodged by seeing Eddie on the news, his mind replays the day he started living only half a life.

"I don't get it, Eddie. Why can't you let us help you?"

"Stevie, you know you can't. Hopper couldn't. Dr. Owens couldn't. They need a scapegoat and I'm the best they could find."

"Yeah, but they're not trying hard enough!" Steve's voice had broken, and he could still remember the way his heart had followed suit. "Maybe Nancy can —"

"Steve, please. I have no choice."

"Then take me with you."

"We both know that's not possible."

"Why? Why not? I could help you."

"You'd stick out like a sore thumb with that head of hair, sweetheart," Eddie had said, obviously trying to lighten the mood with a forced smile. He turned somber again when he looked into Steve's eyes and saw the tears swimming in them. He had stepped forward, right into Steve's space, taken him in his arms, and with his mouth pressed right against his ear, he had murmured, "You have people counting on you here. You can't just leave."

"Yeah, but you can?" Steve bit out, his face pressed against Eddie's neck.

"I have to."

[ad_1] Bloomberg/Bloomberg by means of Getty Photographs Bloomberg/Bloomberg by means of Getty Photographs Within the first scene of the primary episode of the vintage sitcom 30 Rock, tv showrunners Liz Lemon and Pete Hornberger nervously stroll into an administrative center underneath renovation to fulfill their boss, Gary. They may be able to't see him anyplace. "The place is Gary?" asks Lemon. Simply then a person in a go well with kicks down a wall and barges into the room. "Gary's lifeless," the person says. "I am Jack Donaghy, new VP of construction for NBC-GE-Common-Kmart." Donaghy explains GE has promoted him as a result of "his largest triumph": the GE Trivection oven. It combines radiant warmth, convection, and microwave era, permitting you to "prepare dinner a turkey in 22 mins." His function in growing the oven is "why they despatched me right here to retool your display," Donaghy explains. "I am the brand new vp of East Coast tv and microwave oven programming." 30 Rock completely encapsulated the absurdity of conglomerates, behemoth firms working in a mishmash of unrelated industries. In spite of downsizing within the years since 30 Rock first aired (2006), GE remained the quintessential conglomerate. This is, till previous this month, when GE introduced it was once splitting into three separate firms, independently inquisitive about aviation, healthcare, and effort. Personal fairness corporations are expected to additional select away on the death conglomerate's carcass. It's possible you'll name this the top of the conglomerate age. However, in actual fact, that age ended a long time in the past in america. GE is only one of a couple of lumbering dinosaurs that survived the asteroid crash. However whilst the previous American conglomerates are going extinct, a brand new breed is evolving to take their position on the best of the meals chain: Techglomerates. Firms like Google, Fb, and Amazon had been obtaining firms and coming into into industries they have got historically had no involvement in. Traders deal with old-school conglomerates like they are radioactive, however they are treating Techglomerates like they are Pete Davidson (who it seems that everyone needs to carry at the present time). Name it the Conglomerate Paradox. However are Techglomerates actually other? Or will the similar forces result in their loss of life? When Conglomerates Had been Groovy Again within the overdue Nineteen Sixties, conglomerates had been all of the rage. Take the ITT Company, which, via a frenzy of acquisitions, managed firms like Sheraton Accommodations, Avis automotive leases, Hartford Insurance coverage, and the maker of Marvel Bread. Or the LTV Company, which oversaw firms in aviation, shopper electronics, missile production, wearing items, and meat packing. Or Litton Industries, which started as an electronics corporate and protection contractor, however wolfed up Stouffer's frozen meals, a typewriter corporate, a producer of family home equipment, and quite a lot of furnishings makers. In 1968, The Saturday Night Submit mag declared in a headline, "It Is Theoretically Imaginable for the Complete United States to Turn out to be One Huge Conglomerate." [Editor's note: This is an excerpt of Planet Money's newsletter. You can sign up here.] Again when conglomerate mania was once at its zenith, within the mid-to-late Nineteen Sixties, Baruch Lev was once a PhD scholar on the College of Chicago. "I remember the fact that one of the most first questions within the first finance examination that I took was once: what's the trade rationale for conglomerates?" says Lev, who just lately retired after a few years as a professor at NYU's Stern Faculty of Trade. To many firms, the solution was once easy: it was once some way for them to get larger and extra winning.

The government, whilst actively hostile to many varieties of mergers and acquisitions, was once beautiful lax when it got here to firms increasing into unrelated industries. However, much more importantly, firms believed that by means of branching out into more than one strains of commercial, they may strategically fortify each and every of the ones companies and insulate themselves from the ups-and-downs of markets. If one trade had a foul yr, as an example, conglomerates may just cushion losses with earnings from different industries. "The theory was once that by means of making an investment in different industries, you diversify the money float of the corporate," Lev says. "Other folks mentioned 'inside capital markets,' permitting you to allocate cash from this corporate to that corporate." The buzzword was once "synergy," and the speculation was once that the sum of an organization may well be price greater than its person portions. With a conglomerate, the pondering went, 2 + 2 = 5. Conglomerate Turns into A Dangerous Phrase Lev by no means purchased into the conglomerate hype. "The entire thing was once a sham," he says. The core financial case for a conglomerate was once diversification, the facility of an organization to stabilize and spice up its proportion value by means of branching out into a various array of industries. However, Lev says, traders can do diversification themselves. In case you are anxious that the airline trade could have a foul yr, as an example, you'll put a few of your cash in a healthcare corporate. You don't want some CEO of an airline corporate to shop for and arrange the healthcare corporate. "There may be completely no trade justification for conglomerates, as a result of traders can succeed in — on their very own — the whole thing that the conglomerate achieves," Lev says. This was once particularly the case after the upward push of mutual, exchange-traded, and index price range, which enable traders to diversify possibility and purchase stocks of a various array of businesses very cost effectively. Additionally, traders can do that with no need to take care of all of the issues that conglomerates create. Issues that get up when a bloated company paperwork struggles to supervise an unwieldy collection of companies: deficient oversight, mismanagement, and sketchy choices, like sending the person at the back of the GE Trivection oven to run a tv display. It is why, Lev says, learn about after learn about unearths conglomerates are inevitably harm by means of one thing referred to as "the diversification discount." It refers to proof that a conglomerate's inventory value is round 10 p.c less than it will be if the conglomerate had been as an alternative damaged aside and bought at the inventory marketplace as separate firms. It seems the entire is in fact price lower than the sum of its portions. With a conglomerate, 2 + 2 = 3. Within the Nineteen Eighties, traders wised as much as all this — and there was once a massacre for conglomerates in america. Jerry Davis, a professor on the College of Michigan's Ross Faculty of Trade, printed a study about their dramatic decline. He says it was once facilitated, partly, by means of a 1982 Superb Courtroom case that made it more straightforward for monetary corporations to take over and restructure floundering companies. Through 1990, Davis says, "the everyday company was once far more lean and inquisitive about its core competence." The Upward push Of The Techglomerate Baruch Lev has been running on a guide about mergers and acquisitions, and as a part of that, he just lately analyzed 36,000 company acquisitions during the last couple a long time. He discovered that, during the last 10 to fifteen years, the share of acquisitions that may be classified as conglomerate-style acquisitions spiked to about 47%. "It stunned me tremendously," Lev says. This spike in conglomeration is pushed by means of tech firms. Fb, which just

lately rebranded itself as Meta, has purchased firms like Ascenta, a solar-powered drone maker, and Oculus, a digital fact corporate. Amazon has purchased firms like Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, a media corporate, and Entire Meals. Google has been venturing into companies fascinated about the whole thing from smartphones and glasses to self-driving vehicles and podcasting. The inventory marketplace has traditionally punished conglomerates. Even the CEOs of conglomerates like 3M deny they are a conglomerate since the time period is a stinker. However the Techglomerates appear to be getting a go. Baruch Lev believes they should not. For a similar causes that old-school conglomerates blundered into 2 + 2 = 3, he says, those new-school conglomerates will do the similar. Their consideration shall be unfold too skinny. They would possibly not to find synergies of their acquisitions. They're going to mismanage their subsidiaries. The relentless common sense of the diversification cut price will come for his or her proportion costs too. The rationale they have got been skating by means of in capital markets, Lev says, is that their core companies are insanely winning. It is like they have got had a halo, which lets them escape with issues conventional firms can't. They may be able to fiddle with billions of greenbacks and escape with it, no less than for now. "The day of reckoning is coming," he says. However it is usually conceivable that — in contrast to old-school conglomerates — tech firms actually do possess concepts, ability, and expertise that interprets smartly into quite a lot of companies out of doors in their core specialization. Jerry Davis means that perhaps the Techglomerates actually are drizzling a type of particular sauce on their acquisitions. The longer term is cloudy, he says, however the long run shall be tech. It is going to make sense to spend money on firms that attempt to focus on all issues tech, even though they are increasing into spaces out of doors in their convenience zone. Positive, there shall be many duds of their portfolio. However there may well be some giant winners. Davis, slightly paradoxically, pointed to GE's centuries-long reign as a a success conglomerate. The kid of Thomas Edison, GE got here out of the gate as a conglomerate, working in a various set of industries like energy era, lightbulbs, radios, and so forth. GE, he says, was once initially "within the trade of all of the stuff you'll do with electrical energy," and it actually did possess the tips, ability, and expertise that allowed it to achieve a wide selection of industries for a very long time. "Google is the Basic Electrical of the twenty first century," Davis says. "GE was once the stuff you'll do with electrical energy. Google is stuff you'll do with the web." But if Google begins purchasing up cat meals and microwave oven makers or one thing, beware. [ad_2] #splinters #Fb #Meta #Planet #Cash #NPR

Fat Food Frenzy

To the average consumer, names like Kraft Heinz, Unilever, Kellogg and Nestle, aren’t often co-related with a Fat Food Frenzy. However, recent studies by WASSH (the World Action on Salt, Sugar & Health show that "Four of the world's biggest food manufacturers are over-reliant on the sales of unhealthy food despite each claiming to be active in improving the healthfulness of their products." So, if you’re wondering why you see so many fat people in America it’s because deceptive marketing – by these and other major companies – has led the public to believe their products are healthy and safe. WASSH also reported that Kraft Heinz, Kellogg, Unilever, and Nestle are promoting diets high in fat and sugar, which could potentially increase the risk of obesity and chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and certain cancers if consumed regularly. (Scooby Doo HUH?) Effects of Fat Food Frenzy In addition, the consumption of junk food may cause adverse changes in the brain and result in cognitive impairment. And in addition to this we would like to know why are the largest food companies in the world also pushing a 'woke' agenda? Maybe it’s because – like the War on Poverty and the War on Drugs – the Boyz have now shifted to a War on your diet or a War on your body. Or Maybe they don’t want us to know that most grains should be fermented in some way. Because when they say 'highly processed' in the modern context, they mean a lot of industrial **** has been done to it with a lot of modern chemistry. Or Maybe, JUST MAYBE most people are too fat and lazy to learn about how they’re being poisoned by these mega-corporations…kinda like they ignore how Big Pharma poisoning everyone on the planet in the name of profit. Ironically (or NOT) what’s really weird about this is how food plants around the country seem to be going up in smoke…but not junk food plants. Fat Food Frenzy Leaders Sad to say, companies like Nestle need to put “Buyers Beware” labeling on their companies that contain harmful additives and seed oils. Those companies include: Gerber Perrier Poland Spring S. Pellegrino Deer Park Toll House Coffee-Mate Starbucks Coffee at Home Carnation Stouffer’s Hot Pockets DiGiorno Pizza Buitoni Pasta Tombstone Pizza Lean Cuisine Sweet Earth Libby’s Pumpkin Carnation Häagen-Dazs Purina Alpo Fancy Feast Friskies Tidy Cats Go ahead…read the label of ingredients. Hopefully the WOKE agenda will hit these companies where it hurts most…their earnings.
