What’s your most controversial opinion?

I work in healthcare insurance, in IT.
The company closes for New Year's, Christmas, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving and Black Friday (Because October is fucking hell!), July 4th, and Labor Day. We can take the others off if we wish. I work the others because I can catch up on my work LOL with people thinking we're like banks: CLOSED

I've always worked Veterans Day because I am not a vet, and if I work, a vet or a family member can have it off. Restaurants and fast food I was popular for that.

And I do NOT nor never will celebrate Lost Italian Day!
insurance is a different animal from direct patient care. frankly I barely consider healthcare insurance healthcare. It would all be better if the for profit model went the way of the dinosaurs.

(maybe I would trade for dinosaurs?)
 
There are definitely places peanut butter does not belong (eg deodorant) - but I'll keep my chunky peanut butter of nutella and vegiemite all day long. Not that either of those are bad... I think part of it is what you grew up with. Peanut butter on toast, apples, bananas, crackers, PB&J (total classic and my hubs says I make the best), and at times, just straight peanut butter right out of the jar. Now - I will allow that there is a range of peanut butter quality - a lot of the big brand names are way to sweet for me.
Take my extra crunchy peanut butter away from me over my dead body. (LMAO)

My primary care physician.
My endocrinologist (diabetes doc)
The dietician I see (to exchange low cal substitution recipes with)

All agree: Tablespoon of peanut butter, right out of the jar, is a great way to increase my protein intake!!
 
That is just ... absolutely bloody wrong. Ruining good vodka like that!

I hate nuts so the smell is what gets me. But I just can't believe how much PB there is in everything. When @SassySheDevil took me to the supermarket, I couldn't move for products with it in. I think someone mentioned a PB pizza too!! 🤮

Not-for-profit company here. Since I'm in New York state, most of what we do is paperwork and reports, showing where EVERY nickel and dime go. We just changed our urgent care reimbursement: now to 90% since most of the centers haven't raised their charges LOL

Well - there is no accounting for what triggers you as a terrible smell so I get that. And there is a lot of pb in many products commercially in the US.
However - we used to have a restuarant in my town that made a thai pizza that had peanuts on it (not peanut butter) and that was totally delish. Miss that place.

Sometimes I wonder if it's just me. I'm an extremely fussy eater and I don't like a lot of things.

Just don't tell me you put pineapple on pizza and we can be friends.
 
love your hugs darling

hugs out to (((((((((@aussiegeekygal)))))))) too

and to all those struggling here there and everywhere. Actually - to EVERYONE 'cause last I checked we are ALL struggling.
I'm struggling to find Elmer T. Lee but other than that, I'm pretty good. 😁

If everyone keeps an eye out for Elmer, that would be awesome.
