Do what you gotta do. I also suck my thumbs to sample everything I touch. If anything it has made me immune to almost every disease. I have literally not been sick once in 20+ years no matter what/who I've been exposed to. I never get shots or see doctors. Even going to another crowded country like Japan, I never got sick...my friend was very ill the first ~2 weeks.

Maybe you should write a book or something. I shit myself for a week pretty much every time I travel. It's. Awful.

Last time, I LITERALLY came within seconds of shitting myself at chicago ohare.

Consider this fair warning:
Do not combine sour cream with chili sauce for an egg dish.
Wife tried it and well let's just say a pizza call ensued.

I've eaten it. It's actually quite good. It tastes like scrambled eggs, a bit firmer with a few rubbery bits where the cartilege is.

People need to get over that not all food looks nice and neat.

Whats the recipe? I regularly add a spoonful of sour cream when making scrambled eggs. It mixes better than milk into the beaten eggs and gives it a slightly sour tang which I like. It sets up the eggs perfectly for the addition of a spicy tomato salsa after the eggs are served.

Yeah, doesn't seem too bad to me either. Deviled eggs use sour cream as a substitute to mayo, which isn't half bad, and the chili sauce should go at least decently well with the eggs.

My mom keeps old food and desperately tries to salvage things I'm trying to throw away. She uses the same excuse about her immune system, but she simply ignores all the times she has been sick or doesn't remember.

LOL I was typing up a huge response...page 3 I realized there's no point.
I have not been sick for decades. I have not had any fever or muti-symptom sickness, or even a single symptom for more than a day or two. I have not forgotten or ignored it.

I will say I have sneezed, I have had a headache, a runny nose, I even have an occasional cough. I do not consider that being sick.

I suggest you check again. The maximum gross income you can have is like $1,245 and you get $189 a month in assistance.

I checked at the beginning of the year when I had to sign up for stupid ass healthcare. I may indeed check again soon...I want to try to reduce these stupid insurance costs too. It just takes me a long time to figure out this kind of crap.

I don't know what I could write...other than to say constantly introducing pathogens in small amounts over time keeps your immune system active and well adapted. I've been through several busy airports without issue, and many busy places too. I had a family trip to Disney World in Florida for a few weeks, then did my own trip all over the state criss crossing over 5,000 miles checking out everything and then traveled from the Keys to Seattle. Lived out of my car for a few months during all that, stopped at lots of nasty rest stops and bumped into lots of people...and never got sick.

What?! Sour cream and hot sauce is totally fine. And totally normal on eggs too.

They do disqualify students, so if you are a student there is likely another program (from the school you attend) that would help cover costs. That would be, at the least, 1 full meal a day.

Completely agree.

I drank the local water in Mexico and didnt get Montezuma's revenge. I went to visit my family in Italy who live in a remote farm in the hills. The have a well complete with a bucket that you use to fetch water. They have city water now piped to them so they well doesnt get much use anymore as it did. But anyway, I drank the well water for an entire summer and didn't get a lick of diarrhea. My sister on the other hand tried it once and had food poisoning symptoms.

I'm not a student, I just knew that was the case because I know others have been denied for stupid crap like that. I don't think they gave me a specific reason last time, just a generic "sorry you suck to much" kind of thing.

I didn't mention it because its delicious.

Heh, I'm not a huge fan but I have made it and I do eat it from time to time. Sometimes the egg is a bit too developed.

I put it in because this will gross out a ton of folks who will not touch it with a 10 foot pole.

Yeah you really have to buy it at the right place. Too developed = not tasty. It has to be hot too. I can't help but think all of these "dare" stuff on the radio and TV shows have it cold.

This is a true story. For my birthday my wife, baked me a cake. Now the back drop, when we first got married we shopped only at places like BJs so everything we bought was in bulk. It was just the two of us so stuff lasted a long time. Well after 13 years...........no lie she bakes me a cake using oil that we bought during our 1st year of marriage. LOL, now when you got next to the cake, you could smell like this off putting odor. And when she cut that cake it looked like extra shiny.

So I said, pumpkin why is it so shiny. She said I maybe put too much oil in the mix. I said, what oil? She said this oil, pulling out the bottle, I started laughing. Soon as you took the cap off you could smell the oil had turned rancid. I showed her the date it was literally almost 15 years old.

And no I just avoided putting that in my mouth. I had to run downstairs to tell my daughter not to eat it..............oops too late. When I got down there she was spitting it out with this grossed out face, I was cracking up.

I'm sure your wife is a lovely person, and a loving wife, but you might want to have her get her sense of smell checked out. Although for our comedic enjoyment, you could pop in from time to time and let us know when you've gotten food poisoning. :awe:
