Seeing domestic violence in a movie or tv show, or hearing about it from news. After over 50 years of being free from it in my life, I get what I guess are PTSD flashback reactions...very unpleasant.

I'm looking for a really good coleslaw recipe. Anyone?

AnneWimsey comments on Aug 19, 2018:

I find to make great slaw you need finely chopped cabbage. Thick or not-uniform chopping makes a lousy one! Good mayo, salt, touch of sugar, apple cider vinegar, and celery seed, or maybe caraway seed.

I've noticed that quite a few people here are awfully religious about their atheism.
