I saw this idea on another blog but do you have any Thanksgiving HCs?
Second time writing this, because I accidentally closed the app and lost everything I wrote the first time—
I had a lot of fun coming up with these though!
Cyno and Tighnari usually spend thanksgiving together, just the two of them - neither of them enjoy large gatherings, and like quietly celebrating holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving at home, in each other's company!
I could keep all my headcanons this fluffy, but I am a sickfic blog, so let's get to the good stuff.
Cyno almost always overeats. We already know he loves food, and Thanksgiving is a day he considers an opportunity to eat good. Maybe a little.. too good. He won't eat to the point of throwing up, but he'll be uncomfortable, sore, maybe even a little nauseous. He gets a lot of indigestion.
The first time they celebrated thanksgiving together, Cyno was the one who cooked. He adores spicy meals, so of course he used a lot of spices in his cooking. Tighnari does not have much of a spice tolerance — he had an upset stomach all night.
Kazuha and Gorou usually spend Thanksgiving with one of their families, more often Gorou's since he has a larger family who usually expects him to be there. So to Gorou, Thanksgiving almost always equals a long drive. A long drive equals car sickness.
On the rare occasion they do get to stay home and celebrate it with just the two of them, Kazuha loves cooking elaborate meals. Usually he'll also elaborately set the table and light candles... Only for them to end up eating on the couch in front of the TV, because why keep up appearances when it's just the two of them?
Lumine and Aether always spend thanksgiving together, which means either Lyney and Lumine fly over to spend it with Aether and Albedo, or vice versa. When it's Aether and Albedo visiting them, the group is significantly larger as Lyney's siblings join them.
Albedo doesn't like thanksgiving. To him, thanksgiving means people will be making lots of food with large portions specifically for the occasion. He has a small appetite, but feels like he has to finish what is given to him out of politeness. Usually he won't be feeling well following dinnertime.
Lumine and Aether start to reminisce about their childhood and spend a large portion of their time together. Lyney and Albedo, as a result, feel like they are constantly third wheeling. They bond over this.
There was a food poisoning incident once, and all four of them got sick at the same time. It's not a fond memory.
Lyney's food gets cold while he shows off magic tricks at the dinner table

Front page of The New York Times, July 30, 1923.
After spending nearly the entire month of July 1923 in Alaska and Canada (the first sitting President to visit either location) as part of his “Voyage of Understanding” across the continent, President Warren G. Harding was forced to cancel stops in Oregon, Northern California, and Yosemite National Park when he fell ill in Vancouver and Seattle on July 26th and 27th.
From Seattle, Harding’s party, which included First Lady Florence Harding and several Cabinet members (including Commerce Secretary and future President Herbert Hoover), traveled directly to San Francisco. Despite his weakened condition, the President refused suggestions by his doctors and aides that he be transported via wheelchair from his special railcar, the Superb, to a waiting limousine. Upon arriving at the Ferry Building in San Francisco, reporters who briefly saw him said that Harding -- who was only 57 years old -- looked “old and worn.” As he and the First Lady headed to the limousine waiting for them on Market Street, someone snapped the last photograph ever taken of President Harding alive.
Tumblr media
When the Presidential party had left Seattle and word first started to circulate that Harding was ill, White House doctors announced that the President was suffering from “ptomaine poisoning” and acute indigestion, “due to eating crabs or canned food.” While they decided to head directly to San Francisco, only the events of the next few days, including his planned trip to Yosemite, were canceled. But by the time the President arrived in the Bay Area, it was decided that Harding’s condition was more alarming than previously believed, and the White House scrapped all events scheduled for California, announcing shortly before midnight on Sunday, July 29th that “the President is reluctantly persuaded that it will be necessary to cancel his entire California program” and apologizing to the people of the state expecting to see him. 
No further information about Harding’s condition was officially released at that time other than the fact that the President was expected to remain in San Francisco for the next two weeks to rest and recuperate, but according to the New York Times on Monday, July 30th:
Outside of this statement and the bulletin by [Brigadier General Charles] Sawyer, his personal physician, no other information was authorized. It is learned, however, that General Sawyer was apprehensive late this afternoon of a turn for the worse in the President’s condition. While he was hopeful that a good rest would overcome the violent attack of ptomaine poisoning from which the President is suffering, he was careful to make no predictions. By some of those in the Presidential party this attitude was attributed to professional overcaution, but events tonight appear to have justified General Sawyer’s course.
As this dispatch is written (at 5 A.M. New York time) members of the corridor on which the Presidential suite is situated in the Palace Hotel. All of them show signs of being anxious. The theory of the President’s friends is that acute indigestion has affected his heart action. The President is conscious and is much concerned over the serious turn his illness has taken.
Mrs. Harding is at the President’s bedside and is greatly helping him by her calm and cheering attitude. She expresses confidence that Dr. Sawyer will be able to bring Mr. Harding back to health.
Harding’s “Voyage of Understanding” had come to a sudden halt and his planned trip through California had been canceled, sidetracking numerous public engagements and likely eliminating Harding’s much anticipated private deep-sea fishing expedition with William Wrigley off of Catalina Island. Over 5 million people were expecting to listen to Harding deliver a major speech over the radio the next night about foreign policy and American participation in the International Court of Justice, but it would instead be published as he recuperated. As Warren Gamaliel Harding rested in Room 8064 on the 8th Floor of the Palace Hotel in San Francisco on Monday, July 30th, his doctors were cautiously optimistic and First Lady Florence Harding was hopeful. 
But the 57-year-old President of the United States had 72 hours to live.

I admit I was a bit surprised the current conception is that compassion would universally "taint" the fossil ghouls food. I assumed because of how the Fossil Ghouls need to make things feel personal so victims don't just dissociate, a little mix of positive emotions or bittersweetness (with a Fossil Ghoul that imitates dead lovers or something), might occasionally beneficial to Apothis. Like a vitamin or mineral or something but still needs all the negative emotions to make it go down smoothly.
Well, I chose Borax for the example because you can eat a lot of borax and not die, as seen with Poison Squads of the early 1900s. You just wouldn't want to eat it, and you wouldn't be able to live off it long-term. Apothis's digestive system treats anything that isn't "evil" as either indigestible matter or as toxins to be filtered out.
The Ghouls each have a mortal virtue (as the Dinos all have a character flaw), they just perceive them as vices. They interact with aspects of "good", and the whole point of them is that they can understand it intellectually enough to manipulate it, whereas Apothis understands evil the same way a hummingbird understands the chemistry of sugar.
But the core idea is that they're feeding on evil, and natural evil is the lowest kind of evil. An accident or disease that has no cause, animal predation, natural disasters, etc are all just 'bad stuff that happens.' There's suffering to it, it produces some entroplasm, but it takes a sapient being that can understand malice, callousness, superstition and greed to produce food-grade wickedness.
Apothis slams himself into planets with sapient life at or approaching the industrial level because that's a greasy buffet table compared to a pile of iceberg lettuce (a world of non-sapient animal life).
A mismanaged care home would produce a lot of fuel for a ghoul. One run well is empty calories at best, poison at worst.
The ghouls have a bit of these elements left over, partially so they can still understand mortals enough to do their jobs and partially because just a scrap of mortal virtue means they're monsters, not natural disasters.

Redstone: 5/5. A genius. A monster.
Building: 4/5. Would be 5/5, but he gets bored halfway through too much. The buildings he makes are honestly so incomprehensible they kind of fail at being buildings but they’re really cool.

Sugawara sickfic
Tw: emeto, non-graphic diarrhea
Sugawara didn't get sick often, but he wasn't the kind of person who got sick only once in his life. In general, Suga was ordinary. During flu seasons, he could get sick, or he could bypass the virus. But at the same time he could get sick in the summer, so... being sick was not unusual in his life.
Therefore, when Suga woke up from a suffocating pain in his stomach, he was not surprised. Well... maybe a little. The boy felt his stomach churning and seemed to growl piteously at him, trying to digest what he apparently did not like at all.
Sugawara groaned through clenched teeth, wrapped his arms around his stomach and curled up in bed, crawling on the white sheets. His hair was disheveled from sleep, and Sugawara slowly put his hand to his forehead so as not to upset his already agitated stomach. There is no temperature. So it's just indigestion or poisoning.
"Well, it could have been worse," Sugawara thought, but at the same moment his stomach painfully contracted, and the boy hissed in pain.
School and training were out of the question.
Parents will be either late in the evening or in the morning - their schedule was tightly packed, so Suga could not count on someone else's help.
He had to write to Daichi that he wasn't coming... But the fear that it would bring even more pain took up.
His stomach let out another gurgle, forcing his arms to tighten into a ring around him. Sugawaru felt bad. It looks like it's a pretty strong case of food poisoning. What did he eat so bad yesterday?
Overpowering himself, Sugawaru somehow reached for the phone on the bedside table and wrote a short "I won't come" to Daichi, dropped it on the pillow.
From such a small movement, his sensitive stomach rose, and Sugawara felt a metallic taste before bile splashed onto his tongue and filled his mouth. Suga's pupils narrowed convulsively, and the boy swallowed a disgusting mess from fear and unwillingness to spoil the bed linen. Nausea settled in my stomach like an unpleasant lump. His stomach rumbled angrily and for a long time, as if warning him that he would regret what he had done later. But Suga didn't care - he was overcome by a sharp drowsiness.
The last thing he remembered was a stomach ache and a white sheet.
***
Sugawara was jerked out of his sleep by a low gurgling sound coming from his stomach. It wasn't like all the sounds before, it sounded low and rumbling. A strong cramp went through his stomach, knocking the air out of his lungs, and Sugawara understood.
He jumped up abruptly, ignoring the nausea rising in his body, and hurried to the bathroom - his stomach was making a heart-rending noise, and his brain was screaming about danger.
In the bathroom, Sugawara allowed himself to exhale with relief, take off his pants and sit on the toilet. His stomach was tense and sore-very sore. A low gurgle escaped from his stomach again and he rumbled loudly, filling the bathroom with sound. Sugawara clutched his swollen stomach, hissing painfully and bending almost in half. His stomach rumbled, gurgled and literally growled, writhing under his fingers. My God, what did he eat?.. The only thing that came to mind was ice cream from a cafe where he wandered by pure chance.
"I will never come there again...", Sugawaru thought as his stomach made another piercing sound. The boy was very ill.
And it was at this moment that he felt a rancid taste on his tongue, rising again from the bottom of his body.
Sugawaru groaned out loud, frantically searching for a trash can in the vicinity.
When the bucket was found, he stared at its bottom and waited in the wings. He had already come to terms with the fact that cleansing from one end of his body was not enough.
I didn't have to wait long. His stomach heaved as bile and yesterday's food filled Sugi's mouth mixed with saliva. Sugawara spat a stream of thick, beige-colored vomit with green streaks into the bucket. His stomach felt terrible. He was still gurgling low, warningly, so that Suga would definitely not dare to get up from the toilet for the next couple of hours, and the vomiting was making its way to his throat again, not giving the boy a break. Sugawara vomited again, already watery slime, and he already felt empty, as his stomach painfully rumbled, starting to clear again.
"This will never end..." whimpered Sugawara.
It took about half an hour when Sugawara was finally able to let go of the bucket and flush the toilet. He was still sick and his stomach hurt terribly, but at least he could get out of the bathroom for more than three seconds before returning to the accompaniment of a loud rumbling stomach.
Sugawara, taking a bucket with him, lay down on the bed and relaxed as much as his condition allowed. He should have gone and taken his medicine, drinking water along the way, but he didn't have the strength left. And when his stomach rumbled low again, finally without the urge to go to the toilet, he didn't care at all.

Funny thing actually, following the Japanese folktale that beans ward off evil spirits and oni. Itto has a severe bean allergy, and it's routinely brought up throughout the game. There's also a small story bit where Itto challenged Yae Miko, the head shrine maiden to a ramen eating contest. But the tofu was made of soy beans, Itto was so competitive that he kept eating despite his allergic reaction. He won in the end, but at the cost of being bedridden for like a month afterwards.
Now, see, I WOULD find that appealing if I hadn't been bedridden with what was either a very nasty case of gastric flu or possibly food poisoning not so long ago. As it stands, I just feel bad for the guy. Seriously, what do you people who like indigestion and such get out of seeing the poor big eaters suffer, anyway? I can tell you from experience, it ain't fun...

Is Rosemary Safe for Hamsters? Balancing the Benefits and Risks
Rosemary, derived from the Rosmarinus officinalis plant, is a fragrant herb known for its piney aroma and flavorful leaves. While it offers potential health benefits, it's crucial to understand the delicate balance between advantages and risks when introducing rosemary into your hamster's diet.
Tumblr media
Can Hamsters Eat Rosemary? A Fragrant but Risky Herb for Hamsters
Rosemary contains compounds like carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid, showcasing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, its volatile oils can be toxic in high doses. Moderation is key; small, occasional servings are generally safe for hamsters.
Introducing Rosemary to Your Hamster's Diet
When incorporating rosemary, consider its aromatic leaves and the beneficial compounds it brings. In moderation, rosemary can contribute antioxidants, soothe digestive issues, and support various aspects of your hamster's health.
Benefits of Feeding Rosemary to Hamsters
Rosmarinic acid: Offers antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects.
Carnosic acid: Acts as an antioxidant, combating free radical damage.
Borneol and cineole: Soothe indigestion and related issues.
Flavonoids like hesperidin: Promote immune system functioning.
Carnosol: Aids liver function and helps metabolize toxins.
Essential nutrients: Vitamin A, calcium, and iron support vision, bones, blood health, and energy levels.
Risks of Feeding Rosemary to Hamsters
Despite its benefits, overfeeding rosemary can lead to:
Liver or kidney damage from excessive oils and acids.
Irritation of the mouth or gastrointestinal tract due to abrasive leaves.
Reproductive issues linked to camphor toxicity in large doses.
Nutritional deficiencies if rosemary replaces a balanced diet.
Increased toxicity risk from concentrated oils and acids in dried rosemary powder.
Symptoms of Rosemary Poisoning in Hamsters
Watch for signs of overconsumption, such as lethargy, weakness, or digestive issues. If poisoning is suspected, seek immediate veterinary attention.
How Much Rosemary Can You Give a Hamster?
Limit rosemary to 1-2 times per week, offering small portions, either dried or fresh. Monitor your hamster's response and cease if any adverse effects occur.
Alternatives and Supplements
Consider other herbs and greens like basil, dill, parsley, carrot tops, and arugula as healthy alternatives. Quality hamster foods from reputable brands provide a balanced diet.
In Summary, Can Hamsters Eat Rosemary?
Yes, in moderation. While rosemary offers benefits, it should be a supplemental treat. Carefully observe your hamster's reaction, gradually increasing portions if well-tolerated. Balance is key to ensuring your hamster's well-being when incorporating rosemary into their diet.

Unfamiliar Territory
You both like ineffable husbands, and ineffable wives.
Stranger: ((Fem A / C. Sort of Human AU. Aziraphale accidentally finds out she's a witch, and whats worse, summons a snake lady that declares herself Aziraphale’s familiar. She wants no part of this, witchcraft is clearly demonic and scary. So she just has to get rid of Crowley, and forget this all happened. The problem is, she won't tell Aziraphale how to get rid of her.)) If you wake up, do not leave the shop. In fact, don't leave whatever room you're in. I'll be back later. A
You: Of course, angel. Anything you'd like me to do while you're out? C
Stranger: No, don't touch anything a
Stranger: *anything. A
You: Alright, just trying to be helpful. C Just let me know if there's anything you need. C
You: What are you up to, anyway? C
Stranger: I'm trying to find a bookstore or library with anything about things like you. Specifically thr removal of. A
You: Aw. I can tell you there's not very many of those. C Most witches find familiars rather helpful to have around, you know. C
Stranger: I'm not a witch. C
You: Then how would you explain all the odd happenings around you? C
Stranger: You're the only odd thing happening around me, thank you very much. C
Stranger: *A
You: I can sense the power that you're keeping pent up inside you. C It gets easier when you learn to channel it. And that's what I'm here for. C
Stranger: I don't want to channel anything, I'm not a witch, I'm not interested in a familiar, and I need to get rid of you! C
Stranger: I don't see why you'd even want to stick around. A
You: You don't have to use the label, but like it or not, you have magic. C And that can be a wonderful thing. You can use it to bring light to those around you. C I know this is unfamiliar territory for you, but I'm here when you're ready to embrace that. C
Stranger: I don't want magic either! Not under any label. C
Stranger: What do I have to do, ignore you for a decade? A
You: Even if you do, I'll still be here. C
You: [...] I'll also admit I found something to tidy, so I did break that no-touching-anything rule. C
Stranger: What did you do. A
You: Just took care of the dishes in the sink. And I cleaned the rest of the kitchen while I was at it. C Sorry, I just got so restless... C
Stranger: You don't have to do that. A
You: I wanted to. C
You: Any luck with your search? C
Stranger: Not yet. But I'll find something, I have to. A
Stranger: Do you need to eat? A
You: I should be alright for now. C
Stranger: But you do need food? A
You: I've been taking care of your rodent problem, actually. C I doubt you'd want them causing damage to any of the books in your shop, after all. C
You: I do appreciate the offer, though. C
Stranger: I had rats?? A
You: A few. C
Stranger: Ugh. I guess I'm glad I got a snake I'd nothing else. A
You: Happy to help where I'm needed. C
Stranger: *if nothing
Stranger: Eating mice won't get you sick, will it? You're not entirely a snake, after all. A
You: I've never had an issue before, but your concern really is sweet. C
Stranger: I just don't know what I'd do with a sick snake. A
You: I mean, even if those rats were baited before with something poisonous, it might just give me a bit of indigestion. C Not your average snake, after all. C
Stranger: Hm. I'll bring dinner home anyway, if you don't want yours, you can just put it in the fridge. A
You: What did you have in mind for dinner? C
Stranger: I'll probably just stop by the chip shop, I don't have the energy to stand in a restaurant. A
You: I might have a nibble then. C Does that mean I should expect you home soon? C
Stranger: Not for another hour. A
You: Alright, good to know. C
Stranger: Maybe thirty minutes. I've been reading too much. A
You: Maybe you can tell me a bit about what you've learned? C
Stranger: Nothing. A
Stranger: Maybe you can tell me what you already know? A
You: Oh, you'd like to learn about your abilities? C
Stranger: I'd like to learn how to send you back. A
You: Nah. There's no guarantee I'd be tied to anyone half as interesting as you. C
Stranger: I'm not interesting. A
You: Of course you are. C
Stranger: I am truly not. A
You: I think you are. C
Stranger: Well, you can't be right all the time I see. A
You: I see a woman who holds a great deal of kindness toward others, who always tries to do so much good in the world. C And yet when she's unlocked the ability to do even more, she's terrified of her gift. C I'd like to know why. C
Stranger: I've not been kind to you. A
You: Because you're scared. C
You: I want to know what's been frightening you. C
Stranger: Not you, I'll have you know. A
You: So I'm not the one scaring you, that's good to know. C Can you tell me what has been? C
Stranger: No. A
You: If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. C But if you ever do, I'll listen. C
Stranger: You won't be here for much longer, so there's not much point. A
You: If you're certain about that... C
Stranger: I am definitely certain. A
You: Do you know what will happen if you figure out how to dismiss me? C
Stranger: I'll have my peace back? A
You: Because sure, there might be a book out there that tells you how to do that. But it won't stop any other familiars from coming along. C And dismissal isn't exactly a pleasant process for either of us. C
Stranger: Another one would show up?? A
You: In all likelihood, yeah. C
Stranger: That's not fair. A
You: Welcome to having abilities, angel. C
Stranger: Take them back. A
You: I didn't give them to you. C
Stranger: How do I stop another one from appearing? A
You: Again, why is this an issue for you? C
Stranger: I just don't need this added to my plate. A
You: From what I can tell, life likes to put things on people's plates that they didn't ask for all the time. C And right now you have a couple of choices. One is to keep trying to ignore this new aspect of your life, and it can keep causing a hindrance to you. C Or we can work on this together. See what it can do for you. C
Stranger: It's going to get my in trouble! A
You: What sort of trouble? C
Stranger: *me
Stranger: The annoying and difficult trouble. A
Stranger: Family trouble. A
You: What sort of trouble with your family? C
Stranger: My siblings mean well, they just want me to be on the right path. They can be a bit pushy, or pubchy, when they think I'm straying. A
You: [...] Did you have a religious upbringing by chance? C
Stranger: Yes. A
You: That makes /so/ much more sense now! C How often do they check up on you? C
Stranger: It's random. Sometimes I won't see them for a year, and sometimes they show up twice in one week. A
You: Got it. C I might have some sort of idea. Something that could help as a temporary measure. C
Stranger: What do you mean? A
You: Well, while I can't exactly take away your magic, I might be able to hold onto some of it. C If your family ever visits, it could help make things look more normal. C
Stranger: You can? A
Stranger: Hm. But what do I tell them about you? They'll have questions. A
You: Maybe. I've never tried it before, but I've heard of it being done. C But to them, I can be your new flatmate. Or just a friend who needs someplace to stay for a while. C Whatever makes the most sense. C
Stranger: They'd lecture me about money I they think I need a flatmate, and they won't believe I have friends. A
You: Then maybe we met at a book club. I could be trying to get out of a bad situation with my ex. C You seem like a kind enough person to let someone stay while they get back on their feet, right? C
Stranger: Right. Okay. I just don't want them to get the wrong idea. A
You: That makes sense. C I'm willing to play into whatever story you think they'd be okay with. C
Stranger: I'm not sure which they'd have more of a problem with, magic or me having a woman as a live in partner. A
You: Having a flatmate of the same gender is completely normal. C As long as there's very clearly two separate bedrooms, they won't suspect a thing. C
Stranger: They would suspect. Sorry. A
You: And yet living alone is something they're completely fine with? C
Stranger: So long as it isn't with a woman. A
You: So, if a man were to suddenly start living with you, they'd still be fine with it? C If anything, that would strike me as worse... C
You: I'm assuming living with you as your pet snake would be completely out in that case... C
Stranger: Right, so long as it is my a woman, or a man I wasn't married to. A
Stranger: They might try to kill you. A
You: They can certainly try. C Maybe I could be your new employee? C
Stranger: Oh! That's perfect. A
You: Great! Okay. I can definitely do that. C
Stranger: Just don't touch the books, or actually sell any of my books. A
You: How about organising your books? Is that alright? C
You: At least getting some of the piles off the floor, anyway. C
You: Wait- I thought the point of a bookshop was to sell books? C
Stranger: I will occasionally sell, if I have two of something. A
You: So.. it's more of a collection then? C
Stranger: No, it's a shop. A
You: Right... C
You: So, what would you like me to do as your employee? C
Stranger: Get rid of annoying customers? A
You: Shouldn't be a problem. Anything else? C
Stranger: Not really. Don't organise things, I'll get to it eventually. A
You: Dusting? C
Stranger: No. A
You: All I will say is if a sibling of yours comes in and sees me just standing around, they'll either thing you're an awful manager, or that you should fire me on the spot. C
Stranger: Just look busy, they don't know what goes into running a shop. A
You: Alright, I'll pretend to do inventory, or I'll doodle behind the counter. C
Stranger: Do you like drawing? A
You: Sometimes, yeah. C
Stranger: What else do you like doing? A
Stranger: Aside from breaking and entering. A
You: I like causing harmless mischief from time to time, like gluing pennies to the pavement from time to time. C I haven't had the opportunity to stick around with anyone long enough to really dive into new hobbies, but I love the idea of caring for houseplants, and subjects like botany and astronomy have always fascinated me. C What about you? I can tell you like to get cozy with a good book, but is there anything else you like to do? C
Stranger: I like good food, and wine, or scotch- but only the single malt and it has to be chilled, but no ice in the glass or it'll get watered down. A
Stranger: I've got quite a few little hobbies, nothing I'm particularly good at though, which my family never fails to let me know, heh. A
Stranger: [...] That sounded pathetic. Ignore that. A
You: I wouldn't listen to them. Do what you like to do. As long as it makes you happy, that's what matters. C What are some of those other hobbies? C
Stranger: Right, well, I like learning languages, though French isn't exactly my strong suit. Slight of hand magic was fun, I think I was alright at it. I used to dance. A
You: Well, I'd love to see if you every wanted to show me. C I know I love dancing, but I'm not sure I'm any good at it either. C
Stranger: I'll only bore you. A
You: Nonsense. C Besides, maybe I can help you with a bit of French as long as you can teach me another language you know. C
Stranger: I would be up for that. A
You: I think it could be fun. C
Stranger: I guess if you really are staying. At least until you get sick of me. A
You: I doubt that would happen. C
Stranger: It's what always happens. A
You: Maybe if you tried being friends with stuck up people before. I think you're wonderful, though. C They don't know what they were missing. C
Stranger: I think your have to think that. A
Stranger: Some sort of familiar thing, I'm sure. A

You: I mean, my purpose is to serve you, simply put. As long as you're happy, then so am I. C
Stranger: [...] I don't know what to do with that. A
You: Anything you'd like. C Even if it's just being a friend to you, I can do that. Doesn't have to be only things pertaining to magic. C
Stranger: A friend? A
Stranger: Hm. Alright. Maybe that would be nice. A
You: I think so, too. C
Stranger: Just give me a warning if you want to leave. A
You: I doubt that would happen. C

You: Of course, angel. C
Stranger: Angel? A
You: Well, you're sweet like one right now. C Plus your name is angelic anyway... Is that alright? C
Stranger: Yes, that's fine. The name was on purpose. A
Stranger: I mean. Not my purpose! I didn't choose my name. A
You: You're cute when you're flustered. C But it's alright, I get what you mean. C
Stranger: I'm not cute! A
You: What makes you say that? C
Stranger: Because I'm not. A
You: Well I think you're adorable. C
Stranger: That's ridiculous. A
You: Maybe I am. But that doesn't change how cute and adorable you are. C
Stranger: Enough enough, that's not necessary. A
Stranger: [...] Snakes are sort of cute too. A
You: Not many people would say that... C
Stranger: Well I'm not many people. A
You: You really are sweet, angel. C
Stranger: I just said snakes in general were cute! A
You: But do you think I'm cute as a snake? C
Stranger: [...] I guess so, yes. A bit intimidating with the size. A
You: You know I'd never bite. C Not you, anyway. C
Stranger: I don't know that. A
You: I'm still me when I'm in my other form. C I promise, you're always safe with me. C
Stranger: I used to really want a pet snake. If you want to, you can be like that. When people aren't here at least. A
You: I'd love that. C What are some things you'd like to do with me as your pet? C
Stranger: You're not a pet. A
You: Fair point. But if you feel you've missed out, I'd like to help you make up for it. C I could hang out with you while you read. I'm sure I enjoy cozy spots as much as you like that. C You can also hold me, whatever you'd like. C
Stranger: [...] If you want, I wouldn't mind. A
Stranger: Snakes like warmth, right? I've been told I run pretty warm. A
You: I was just about to mention, I might be tempted to cuddle in that case. Though if I ever cross a boundary, you can always move me, or just tell me no. C
Stranger: Just don't bite or strangle me. A
You: You know I'm also meant to protect you, right? C I'm supposed to bite and strangle anyone who means you harm. C
Stranger: Oh. Well, no biting or strangling my family, please. A
You: I'll resist the urge if it arises. C
Stranger: So I have a guard snake? A
You: Basically, yeah. That's one of the typical duties of a familiar. C
Stranger: Please just be careful. I don't need to get in trouble because of an aggressive animal in my shop. A
You: That's why you have your employee specialising in customer disservice, right? C
Stranger: Quite right. They can be a bit pushy when they want something. A
Stranger: Oh but let the university students be! They're allowed to read the material here. A
You: Yeah, students are usually fine. But I just can't sell anything. C
Stranger: Correct. A
You: Got it. C
Stranger: You're really being much less judgemental than I thought you would be. A
You: Why would I be judgemental? C It's clear you care deeply for your books. C
Stranger: It's a silly thing to care so much about. A
You: But you do care about them, and they're important to you. C
Stranger: [...] Thank you A
You: Of course, angel. C
Stranger: Not many people seem to get it, so it's nice. A
Stranger: I'll be home soon, two plates of food, as promised. A
You: Thank you. I'll see you soon. C
Stranger has disconnected.

What Kind Of Food You Should Avoid When Dealing With Gastric Issues
Gastric problems, such as acid reflux, gastritis, and other digestive issues, can significantly impact one's quality of life. The discomfort and disruption caused by these conditions can make even the simplest tasks challenging and uncomfortable. However, it is important to remember that dietary choices can play a crucial role in managing symptoms and facilitating the healing process. The foods you consume during this time can either alleviate or worsen your condition, underscoring the importance of making informed decisions about what you eat. 
By gaining a comprehensive understanding of which foods are beneficial and which ones to avoid, you can take control of your diet and actively support the health of your digestive system. In this post, we will delve into the recommended types of foods for individuals with gastric problems, offering valuable insights that will empower you to make informed decisions about your diet. By incorporating these guidelines into your daily eating habits, you can effectively ease discomfort, promote overall wellness, and regain control over your digestive health.
Foods to Avoid While Experiencing Gastric Issues
If you're experiencing gastric pain, it's important to choose foods that are gentle on your stomach and won't aggravate your symptoms. Here are some foods that you should avoid when dealing with gastric problems.
1. Spicy & Acidic Foods 
If you have a gastric issue, you should avoid hot and acidic foods. Spicy meals, such as chili peppers and spicy sauces, can irritate the stomach lining and increase symptoms such as heartburn, indigestion, and stomach pain. The capsaicin element contained in spicy meals can stimulate the production of stomach acid, causing discomfort and inflammation. Similarly, acidic food such as citrus fruits, tomatoes, and vinegar can cause acid reflux and increase gastric acid output, increasing the symptoms of gastrointestinal problems. 
These foods can weaken the lower esophageal sphincter, which normally stops acid from leaking back into the esophagus. By avoiding spicy and acidic foods, you can help lessen the danger of worsening your gastrointestinal difficulties and allowing your stomach to heal. 
2. Fatty & Fried Food
Fatty foods, such as greasy meats, deep-fried snacks, and high-fat dairy products, take longer to digest. This can result in bloating, pain, and an increased risk of acid reflux. Furthermore, fried foods are frequently cooked at high temperatures, which can result in the production of potentially toxic chemicals and poisons that irritate the stomach lining. These meals can also cause an increase in stomach acid production, causing inflammation and worsening of gastrointestinal symptoms. 
By avoiding greasy and fried foods, you can help relieve the strain on your digestive system, reduce inflammation, and encourage healing. Instead, choose lighter, nutrient-dense foods like lean meats, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, which are easier to digest and contain critical nutrients for the body's recuperation. 
3. Carbonated Beverages 
Sodas, sparkling water, and other carbonated beverages can worsen stomach symptoms and slow the recovery process. These drinks have a carbon dioxide gas infusion that produces bubbles and gives them their distinctive fizz. After ingestion, the carbonation can cause stomach distension, which could result in bloating, gas, and discomfort. Additionally, carbonated drinks can lead to an increase in stomach acid production, which can make problems like acid reflux and heartburn worse. Some carbonated drinks' high acidity can also irritate the stomach lining, resulting in inflammation and additional pain. Drinking non-carbonated, non-acidic beverages like water, herbal teas, or diluted fruit juices is advised in order to encourage better digestion and relieve gastrointestinal symptoms. 
4. Avoid Caffeine
Caffeine should be avoided if you are experiencing a stomach problem. Several drinks, including coffee, tea, energy drinks, and some sodas, contain caffeine, a natural stimulant. It might be harmful to the stomach, causing symptoms to worsen and making the healing process more difficult. Acid reflux, heartburn, and stomach discomfort can result from caffeine's ability to make more stomach acid. The lower esophageal sphincter, a muscle that typically prevents stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus, might also relax. This can aggravate and worsen acid reflux. Additionally, caffeine is known to have a diuretic impact that could trigger the body to become dehydrated and possibly aggravate stomach problems. You should switch to decaffeinated or non-caffeinated beverages instead, including herbal teas or water. 
5. Avoid Alcohol 
Alcohol use can harm the stomach and make gastrointestinal symptoms worse. First of all, alcohol is known to irritate the stomach's lining, causing inflammation and increasing the risk of developing gastrointestinal conditions like gastritis or ulcers. Additionally, it has the potential to increase stomach acid production, which can make conditions like heartburn, indigestion, and stomach pain worse. Alcohol use increases the possibility of acid reflux and discomfort by weakening the muscles that govern the passage of stomach contents, notably the lower esophageal sphincter. 
Alcohol can also dehydrate the body, which can reduce stomach motility and perhaps aggravate digestive disorders. Prioritizing hydration and choosing non-alcoholic beverages are essential for promoting the healing process. 
6. Peppermint & Spearmint
Avoiding peppermint and spearmint is advised while dealing with gastrointestinal problems. While mint is frequently thought to have digestive advantages, many plants can actually exacerbate symptoms and interfere with the digestive process. The volatile oils and menthol found in peppermint and spearmint can relax the gastrointestinal tract's muscles, notably the lower esophageal sphincter. This ease of breathing might worsen gastrointestinal symptoms like heartburn and indigestion as well as promote acid reflux. Mint also has a cooling effect that may momentarily calm the stomach, but it may also hide underlying problems and postpone getting the right diagnosis and treatment. 
7. Raw Onions & Garlic 
Garlic and raw onions both contain substances that can harm the stomach lining, causing more irritation and pain. In addition to causing symptoms like heartburn, indigestion, and gastric discomfort to worsen, these substances can encourage the production of stomach acid. FODMAPs (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols) are fermentable carbohydrates that are known to be present in onions and garlic and may induce bloating and gas in some people with sensitive digestive systems. If you still want to include onions and garlic in your meals, think about thoroughly cooking them to help break down these compounds and make them simpler to digest. 
8. Avoid High-fiber Foods
Although fiber aids digestion, persons who already have gastrointestinal issues may find it increases their symptoms and creates discomfort. In addition to being more difficult to digest, high-fiber meals like whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and some fruits and vegetables can also make you feel bloated, gassy, and uncomfortable in your stomach. In people with sensitive stomachs, these foods may cause diarrhea or loose stools because they can bulk up stools and promote bowel motions. Additionally, some high-fiber foods contain insoluble fiber, which can be harder to digest and aggravate a digestive system that is already under stress. 
Final Words
Maintaining a healthy and balanced diet is critical for effectively controlling stomach disorders. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution, consuming certain meals can help reduce symptoms and improve digestion. Eat foods that are easily digestible and low in acidity, such as lean proteins, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and probiotic-rich foods. Furthermore, maintaining hydrated and avoiding trigger foods such as hot, fatty, and processed foods will help to maintain a healthy gastrointestinal tract. It's crucial to remember that everyone's digestive system is different, so seeking individualized counsel and guidance from a healthcare professional is a good idea. You can get advice from a gastroenterologist, such as Dr. Preetha Thomas, for making informed food choices that can relieve and improve your overall well-being.

Building Up Your Survival Skills
One of the most important- and most constantly overlooked- aspects of planning out-of-door peregrinations is to insure that you have sufficient training in survival chops to give you the maximum chance of maintaining your well being in potentially dangerous or indeed life hanging situations. Survival chops are basically ways to insure that all your introductory requirements- food, water, sanctum, safety, and warmth.
 For illustration- are met indeed in a hostile, strange or delicate situation. Numerous people regularly plan hiking, trekking or mountaineering peregrinations, but many take the trouble to educate themselves about indeed the most pivotal of surviving chops.
The first thing you need to suppose about in any out-of-door passage is how to fulfill your introductory requirements when out in the nature. The most critical need will, of course, be the procurement of food and water.
In a survival situation, it's stylish to search for comestible shops, as they contain a sufficient quantum of carbohydrates and can be attained without too important trouble or skill.
The essential skill involved then's secerning between comestible and indigestible shops. Wild mushrooms should be avoided unless you can appreciatively identify them as comestible, because numerous of them are poisonous. However, it would be a good idea to carry a text on comestible factory foods, if you're foraying into areas with heavy foliage. Still, in thirsty areas, you'll have to calculate on either non perishable food particulars you have with you, or on raspberry eggs, creatures and indeed insects.
Numerous experts recommend that you put away you prejudices against insects, because their fat rich bodies make veritably good survival food! As far as stalking is concerned, it isn't judicious to try to hunt if you have o previous experience of it; it can be dangerous to provoke wildlife you have no knowledge of. The need for water is indeed more critical than that for food. In a timber, water can be carried from colorful shops indeed if you cannot find a brume or rainwater pool.
For case, green bamboo, if cut duly, releases a lot of clean, potable water. Several other trees and shops contain water and this should be delved before venturing into similar areas. In comeuppance, damp beach indicates near water, and so does foliage. Generally if you gain water from a sluice or swash, you may need to purify it before drinking
One way is to boil it over a fire, and if that isn't possible, also you can use water sanctification tablets. Norway, ever use blood, alcohol, urine or seawater to quench your thirst, no matter how thirsty you're- these substances actually beget your body to lose its remaining fluids indeed briskly, and blood and urine may contain dangerous substances.
Another pivotal nature survival training skill is to find sanctum from extreme rainfall conditions or from wild creatures. In a timber, you can climb a large, lush tree to cover you from dangerous creatures or inordinate heat. In extreme cold wave, you must know how to make a snow sanctum. Igloos can keep you veritably warm, but bear some skill to make. Snow canopies combined with redundant robes are an easier option.
 Secondly, you must know how to inflame a fire in a cold terrain. Keep leak proof matches with you along with a stout cutter or other armament to cut wood. Eventually, you must know how to gesture and transmit your position if you lose your way.
Learn to use SOS, or signal fires, and indeed candescent, reflective accoutrements can be used on a sunny day to attract attention. Hence the nethermost line is that you must be educated in survival chops according to your plan of trip, and must prepare mentally and physically before setting out, to insure survival under trying circumstances.
Survival skills are essential abilities that help individuals survive in emergency situations, natural disasters, or wilderness environments. Here are some survival skills:
Fire making: Fire provides warmth, light, and the ability to cook food. Knowing how to build a fire with or without matches is an essential survival skill.
Shelter building: Building a shelter can protect you from the elements and provide a safe place to sleep. Learn how to build a shelter using natural materials or a tarp.
Navigation: Navigation skills are essential to find your way to safety. Learn how to use a map and compass, and how to navigate using the stars.
Finding and purifying water: Finding and purifying water is critical for survival. Learn how to identify sources of water and how to purify it to make it safe to drink.
For aging for food: Knowing which plants are edible and how to find and catch animals is essential for survival. Learn how to find and prepare wild edibles and how to fish and hunt.
First aid: Injuries and illnesses can occur in a survival situation. Knowing basic first aid can help save lives.
Improvisation: In a survival situation, you may not have all the tools or resources you need. Learn how to improvise and make use of what you have.
Mental toughness: A survival situation can be mentally challenging. Develop your mental toughness by practicing mindfulness, meditation, and other techniques.
By learning and practicing these survival skills, you can be better prepared for unexpected emergencies or situations.

A bowl of simmering mushroom soup is an exquisite treat on a cold day. Now you might think about whether it’s safe to share this with your four-legged canine friends without causing them any harm. Can Dogs Eat Mushroom Soup? The answer is yes if one follows certain instructions. Dogs can't eat any canned mushroom soup from the store, nor is it safe to feed dogs mushroom soup you cooked for human consumption. This is because ingredients safe for human consumption don’t mean they are secure for pets either. There is no way for dogs to determine what's suitable for them and what's not. Due to this, the owner is solely responsible for feeding them healthy meals, which is important for their overall development. Before feeding your dog any food, soup, or juice, purchased from the market, always check the ingredients, whether they are safe for consumption by pets or not. Mushrooms varieties that are safe for consumption by dogs? A) Shiitake mushrooms Shiitake mushrooms come from East Asia and are loaded with nutritional value. They contain copper, iron, selenium, and zinc. Both dogs and humans can consume Shiitake mushrooms once they are properly cooked. The allergic reaction can be nasty if it's not cooked properly. B) Maitake mushrooms This perennial fungus blooms for several years. Your dog will benefit from its medicinal properties, such as reducing cholesterol, controlling blood sugar, and boosting immunity. C) Lingzhi (Reishi) It is found in China and has similar effects to maitake. Dogs can feel better after eating it, their allergies might go away, and it also helps in strengthening their immune system. D) White Button Your pet’s health gets a boost after they consume white button mushrooms, as they are rich in copper, potassium, vitamins, etc. Mushrooms varieties that are unsafe for consumption by dogs? A few wild mushrooms to avoid completely: Jeweled Death Cap or Amanita Gemmate Death cap or Amanita Phalloides Gyromitra Esculenta, or False Morels. Galenira Marginata or the Deadly Galenira Clitocybe Dealbata Fool's Funnel Pleurocybella Porrigens or Angel's Wings Funeral bell or Galerina marginata The most sensible action is to treat every wild mushroom as poisonous. Contact your veterinary professional immediately if your pet starts showing any signs of distress after eating wild mushrooms. Health Benefits of Mushrooms for Dogs? Amino acids and proteins: help in the biological building of blocks. Riboflavin: increases fat oxidation and energy production Manganese: prevents weak growth and abnormalities of the skeletal system. Iron: A healthy growth rate is promoted by iron, and it also prevents anemia. Phosphorus: promotes bone development in dogs. Selenium is great for healthy skin, arthritis, and heart health. Vitamin C: A dog's immune system is boosted by vitamin C. Potassium, sodium, copper, and phosphorus are minerals vital for your dog's good health. Furthermore, mushroom consumption helps in? Protecting against bacterial and viral infection. It helps in maintaining blood sugar under control and enhancing metabolism. The improvement of renal and liver function. Lowering cholesterol and weight. Things to consider while preparing mushroom soup for dogs? While making soup for dogs, ensure to put only organic store-bought mushrooms in the dish. Mushrooms pick up toxicity from their environment, so consuming non-organic mushrooms is not recommended either for humans or their pets. Make sure you use mushrooms in small quantities to prevent upset stomachs and indigestion issues in your pet. Mushrooms should be finely diced before being added to the soup. This will eliminate the choking hazard. Avoid adding ginger, garlic, onion, excessive salts, seasoning, and any item unstable for dog consumption. An excess of olive oil in the soup may make your dog's stomach work harder to digest it, causing discomfort. So, try to use an extremely low portion of olive oil.
Do not serve dogs condensed soups purchased from the market. Besides being high in fats and sodium, they also contain added preservatives and additives. All this is harmful to dogs. Watch out for any negative reactions, such as vomiting or diarrhea, when feeding mushroom soup to your dog. If you observe any sigh of illness, Stop the feed immediately and report it to your vet as soon as possible. What if dogs consume wild mushrooms? Dogs generally use their excellent smell to identify toxins in food items. Despite this, it is unlikely that they will be able to distinguish a good mushroom from a toxic mushroom. Symptoms of mushroom poisoning in dogs? Poisoning symptoms vary depending on the consumed variety. A few are mentioned below: Presence of excessive saliva while drooling Abdominal Pain Gastrointestinal Issues Diarrhea Ataxia Lethargic Behavior Seizures Symptoms of Coma Liver Failure If you observe any of the symptoms mentioned above, you should immediately contact a qualified veterinarian. When complications arise, it is best to take care of the problem without losing any time. How To Prevent Your Dog from Eating Wild Mushrooms? By rewarding your dog with tasty treats once they follow a command, you can teach them to drop objects in their mouth or to follow any other instructions. It also acts as a great preventive measure to make them drop poisonous and unwanted items they have in their mouths. If you find wild mushrooms growing in your yard, take care to dispose of them safely. As you walk through an area known to be home to a thriving population of wild mushrooms, keep your dog on a leash, lead them and keep a close eye on the ground. If feasible, then altogether avoid taking your pet in damp or wooded areas. Conclusion Can Dogs Eat Mushroom Soup? A store-bought can or condensed mushroom soup is not suitable for dogs unless the packet specifically mentions Dog/Pet Safe. It is safe for dogs to be given mushroom soups made at home, as long as we use fewer unhealthy ingredients. Consumption of wild mushrooms may lead to sickness, and if eaten in excess, then the situation might even turn fatal. Some dogs might have allergies related to the consumption of mushrooms. It is always wise to consult your veterinary expert while making a diet chart or adding new food to your pet’s meal.

If there's one thing I hate most about office work, it's the annual department potluck. Lots of lukewarm casseroles, recipes from long-lost church cookbooks that have mutated into an unrecognizable state, that one guy who brings in chips, etc. No kitchen, so the food is either microwaved, cooked hours ago or just plain cold.
An entire meal of foods containing "cream of X" or with a name ending in "salad" that contain no actual vegetables. If you're lucky, someone brings in a party tray from the local fast food place, so you at least have chicken nuggets that (probably) won't give you indigestion or food poisoning.
One year, we had an entire "lunch" consisting of various dips, and that one person who bought donuts the night before, so they were a touch stale.
And that's not to mention that we're still in the middle of a pandemic, so hopefully the "surprise" in someone's casserole isn't COVID-19 or RSV.
Now I'm going to go back to my baked ziti that hopefully makes the car ride to the office before it congeals.

How do I clean my stomach naturally
A gastrointestinal issue is often brought on by gastroparesis. It is a disorder that inhibits digestion by altering the muscles of the stomach, making it challenging to empty it.
Symptoms of gastroparesis include:
Stomach bloating,
Discomfort,
Nausea,
Vomiting,
Heartburn,
Acid reflux, and
Indigestion, among others.
Dehydration, malnutrition, and unstable blood sugar levels may result from this medical condition, which can be minor or severe.
The digestive system ends with a colon cleanse, which aids in the removal of toxic substances from the body. However, if constipation prevents you from emptying your stomach, it might cause a variety of additional health problems.
In this situation, several natural therapies might save the day and assist you in cleaning your stomach naturally, and in maintaining gut health.
Plenty of water
Your stomach's poisons are removed by water. By keeping you hydrated, it preserves gut health. Having a clean, clear colon is facilitated by drinking lukewarm water first thing in the morning.
For hydration and digestive system equilibrium, a person has to consume at least 8 glasses of water every day. Several foods that are rich in water content include:
Cucumber
Watermelon
Tomatoes
Warm water
Yes, this is the easiest technique to maintain a clean digestive system. Your metabolism is boosted and toxins are eliminated from the body when you drink a cup of hot water.
It's the easiest and most natural cleanse you can take for the health of your stomach since it encourages more regular bowel movements.
Herbal tea
The digestive tract may work more easily with only one cup of herbal tea. Aloe vera and psyllium are two plants that may be used to induce bowel movements. To treat constipation and normalize bowel activity, they work like magic.
Despite the fact that these herbs have been shown to offer several advantages throughout the years, it is still important to get a doctor's advice before taking them.
You might also begin including herbs like
Cayenne pepper,
Ginger, and
Garlic into your diet.
These often include antibiotic substances that may combat intestinal flora.
Fermented food
Increase your intake of fermented foods. These meals are a natural supply of probiotics for those who are uninitiated. Additionally, probiotics are brimming with microorganisms that improve intestinal health.
By eating fermented foods, you may enhance your digestion and get rid of bloating, constipation, gas, and other stomach issues. Let us provide you with some recommendations if you're curious in some popular probiotics.
Yogurt,
Kefir,
Kimchi,
Sauerkraut,
Pickles,
Miso kombucha, and
Apple cider vinegar are all acceptable ingredients!
Fibers
The best remedy for issues with the digestive system is fiber. Nutritionists usually advise you to consume more fiber if you want to keep your intestines clean. It's because meals with fiber help to flush out pollutants. Gorge yourself on foods high in fiber, such as
Whole grain cereal,
Fruits,
Veggies,
Nuts, and
Seeds.
Strawberries,
Carrots
Kidney beans,
Lentils,
Chickpeas,
Quinoa,
Oats,
Lemon water and Honey
To achieve a clean stomach, drink lemon water with a spoonful of honey every morning.
Smoothies
Apples, lemons, and aloe vera juice blends are just a few examples of the fruits and vegetables that are included. These liquids help to detoxify the stomach and stimulate colon movement.
Ginger
Ginger is one of the most natural ways to cleanse the stomach. It lowers colon inflammation, is high in antioxidants, and lowers the risk of colorectal cancer. Ginger may be either raw or juiced and added to tea or warm water. Each day, 4 grams of ginger may be taken. However, consuming too much of it might result in
Heartburn,
Tummy pain,
Diarrhea,
FASTING
Additionally, it helps your gut get rid of pollutants. Water assists with colon cleaning; thus, you must consume lots of it when fasting. For optimal outcomes, you may also eat fiber-rich foods while fasting.
Peppermint
It eases stomach discomfort and colon inflammation. It aids in gastrointestinal cleanliness when consumed every day.
Resistant starch
Green bananas, potatoes, rice, legumes, and grains are the primary sources of resistant starch. Similar to fiber, these starches support healthy colon function by enhancing gut bacteria. They lessen the chance of colon cancer as well.
Quick tips on treating stomach gas
Intense gas discomfort may result from trapped gas. Try the following remedies to eliminate stomach gas:
Stool Movement: Stool passing is a good way to get rid of gas.
Eat slowly and avoid swallowing meals whole.
Food and air may enter the digestive tract together, which might cause gas discomfort.
Eat slowly and properly chew each mouthful.
In addition, it will reduce bloating and indigestion.
Avoid Carbonated Drinks: Drinks with carbonation, such as soda and sparkling water, contain gas that may cause bloating and stomach problems.
Quit smoking: It is the primary source of many health issues, including abdominal gas that has not been released. Smoking must be stopped to release trapped gas.
Exercise that helps in bowel cleansing
To cleanse your stomach, you may also do a few yoga asanas and movements, such as:
Sit-ups: They aid with digestive problems including constipation, bloating, and irritable bowel syndrome by causing bowel movements. For at least 20–30 sit-ups, perform the exercise again.
Leg raises, also known as uttanpadasana, are an exercise that strengthens the abdominal muscles. Leg lifts, which may be done 20–30 times, are a useful daily exercise for reducing indigestion and stomach bloating.
Apanasana: This posture relieves bloating and gas issues. You should practice this yoga position 8 to 10 times each day.
Spine Twist: This workout is good for kicking-starting the digestive process.

Don't Feel Lost When LOOKING AFTER Your Cat. Follow THESE POINTERS!
A new cat is quite similar to a new child. Among the hardest parts of raising a fresh kitten is keeping them entertained whenever they want to play. A young kitten isn't afraid to wake you up while tangling themselves in your hair. Still, there are improved ways to keep these little felines entertained. Cats like sneaking into small spaces. If you keep a collar on your own pet, getting stuck in another of these spaces can be very dangerous. A collar that will breakaway is the greatest idea for safety. Purchasing you can function as difference between whether your cat lives or dies when he gets stuck. Make sure your cat is well hydrated. Like humans, cats have to drink lots of water. If they don't get enough water, they are able to get dehydrated, develop various health problems, or die. Make certain they always have a plate of fresh and clean water. The bowl itself must also be cleaned and refilled every day. You should also keep this bowl in a single location. If your cat is pregnant, setup a comfortable, safe place on her behalf to have her kittens. A big cardboard box equipped with a pillow and blanket is good. Stick it in the back of a closet or other taken care of place. Keep water and food dishes nearby. Use petting to check on your cat's health. Petting is not only a way for you as well as your cat to spend time together, but it's a great way to find anything abnormal on the body. You can pet them to feel for bumps, lumps, or sores. This is also a great time so that you can check their ears. You really should have a microchip placed into your car. Even an indoor cat may find a means out of your home. A collar and identification tags might help bring your pet back to you. But experts point out that collars that do not snap apart quickly if your cat gets it caught on a branch or even a bush can accidentally strangle your cat. Microchips are tiny and contain all of your contact information. Almost all veterinarians and shelters will have scanners capable of reading the info on these chips, and since they are under the skin, there is no chance of the chip getting lost. Avoid giving your cat any food that's spoiled. This can lead to indigestion and food poisoning, that may cost you a trip to the veterinarian. Always buy your food fresh from the store and be sure to check the expiration date before you feed it to your cat. Do not flush clumpable litter in your toilet. This can lead to problems with your plumbing. Instead just lift the clumps and get rid of them in a trash bag. Remember, moisture is what makes the litter clump to begin with! Avoid doing that to your pipes and just dispose of it properly. Anytime you travel with a cat, their ears ought to be monitored. While you may like the right tunes, your cat will appreciate other activities. So, keep your volume down, or transform it off to provide your cat a better travel experience. If your cat tends to eat your plants, it is possible to stop him. You can either purchase bitter apple spray and spray the pot, or it is possible to put a little bit of clove oil on a cotton ball and bury it a little in the soil. Your cat will avoid both. Do you have both a dog and a cat? Dogs will always try to eat a cat's food. For this reason, you need to keep your cat's food in a higher spot that your dog won't be able to reach. This will ensure they don't fight over food or water, too. The main element to entertaining kittens is simplicity. Most cats love some of the same little games and gestures, while other cats are incredibly unique making use of their own ideas for fun. Unless you want your kitty to grow right into a grumpy, old furball, then allow it have fun and experiment like a kitten should. pet portrait

Regressor!Tamaki Headcanons
(with cg!Mirio)
Tumblr media
Typically, Tamaki falls within the younger end of the age regression spectrum at anywhere between three and six, though most days settling in at a pretty solid four. Although he will insist he's six no matter how little he's feeling, because he is shy about being perceived as any younger than that; his cgs know this and tend to look for his other tells. But when he gets sick and suddenly falls into babyspace for the first time? It scares him, a lot. Tamaki has never been so small since he started regressing, but he just feels so yucky and helpless. Luckily, he has Mirio there to take care of him.
At first he figured it was just some mild indigestion, what with how much food (and a wide variety of food to boot) he has to eat for his quirk, even in the mornings. So Tamaki goes to class against his better judgement, and against the concerned suggestions from both Nejire and Mirio that he take the day off. He quietly tells them he'll be fine—but he doesn't even make it through first period before he starts feeling really hot and his nausea spikes. And much to his surprise, somehow Mirio managed to snag the wastebasket by the door and push it towards him just in time for him to toss his cookies.
The next thing Tamaki knows is that he's slipping hard and fast, thoroughly embarrassed by causing a scene, but he holds it together (though only barely). Mirio is quick to pull him out of class with a rushed explanation to their teacher that he's escorting him to Recovery Girl's office. Nobody stops either of them of course, and once they are alone in the hallway Tamaki starts leaning on him heavily as if he's having trouble keeping himself balanced. As they walk Mirio checks him over, brushing up his bangs to press the back of his hand to his forehead, immediately clocking a fever. And once they arrive at the infirmary, Recovery Girl confirms it. After assessing Tamaki's other symptoms she comes to the conclusion that he's suffering from food poisoning. Nothing serious, but also not something she can really treat with her quirk.
Mirio minds the instructions she gives them, knowing by the way Tamaki is clumsily fiddling with the hem of his shirt that he's not in any state to take care of himself. So he takes the medication that will help with the stomach cramps and fever, along with the pedialyte she insists Tamaki should drink, and leads him back to his dorm by the hand. As soon as the door to his room shuts however, Tamaki can no longer keep it together and he crumbles easily into Mirio's waiting arms as he's wrapped in a firm hug. And at Mirio's gentle soothing and encouragement to let it all out, he does. Tamaki feels so, so bad and yucky, on top of the fact that something else is wrong, so it's no wonder that he starts crying.
While Mirio could already tell he had dropped (Tamaki always regresses when he's sick), he did not expect him to drop quite so hard. Once he gets his crying to slow, it's clear that Tamaki is a lot smaller than usual—for starters he was having trouble with his words which were already few and far between, and there's a scared look about him that is different from the usual anxiety that fills his eyes. Mirio scoops him up and gets him situated on his bed, all the while reassuring him that he'll feel better soon. Wrapping him in blankets, getting him his glo worm, and opening Blues Clues on his laptop for him—all things to make Tamaki comfy and distract him long enough for Mirio to get some pedialyte in his sippy and to read the instructions on the fever medication.
Tamaki is of course confused by his regression feeling so foreign to him, but more than that he's scared. He fumbles with his sippy cup, dropping it several times before Mirio steps in to help him hold it. He's never had that much trouble with something so simple and it's what makes him accept that he's dropped somewhere below three. If he's too little, then he'll be too much trouble, won't he? Too much for Mirio to deal with, when Mirio already has to put up with a lot from him. Or at least that's Tamaki's line of thinking, and so he struggles through the fever and stomach cramps to be big. His attempts don't get very far, what with trying to work through the soft fuzzies in his head, and most of his efforts result in frustrated whimpers. But Mirio doesn't seem to mind, and instead only continues to praise him over small things. Little things along the lines of: "Oh wow, that episode really gave you a case of happy hands, huh? That's awesome!" or "You did such a good job taking all of your medicine!"
It is honestly a surprise to him that Mirio not only doesn't mind him being littler but actively encourages it. And while the added level of care and safety he felt while Mirio was caring for him was nice, Tamaki had figured it was a one time thing. Even if Mirio said it was okay, he doesn't need the the comfort of babyspace that often, does he? After he's recovered however, Tamaki finds himself slipping into babyspace more regularly, as opposed to his usual four. Getting food poisoning had been awful, however it definitely helped him realize he didn't need to try and supress the smallest parts of himself.
