You are about to embark on a great journey. Are you ready, my friend?

I know what you mean, I stepped in a pothole a year ago and got a great case of plantar fasciitis; my foot didn't even hurt until the next day and after that it was like I was that game meme of the guy who caught an arrow in the foot or something, the pain was fairly constant and excruciating..

Was actually referred to a podiatrist / sport doctor who showed me how to tape my foot properly, had to wear the boot at night, and a few months later I'm like 90% pain free but it comes back to haunt me if I twist it just wrong, or if I get up too fast, or the sun comes up that day

it's not too bad, there is some bruising and swelling, but nothing dramatic.

i'm looking forward to playing the game of "is this going to be better in a week, or is this just something i have to live around forever" though.

This is our first Halloween in the new house and the town hasn't really posted anything about trick or treat, so I just bought a poo poo load of candy assuming we'd have a huge amount of kids going through. It turns out they do trunk or treat at the nearby park so we had like 10 or so total people come up to the house. So I ate a lot of candy today. Now I feel like trash. What the gently caress.

Parents check your kids' Halloween candy very closely. I opened this bag of circus peanuts and there were circus peanuts inside

All the Rivertowns near me decided to do that, one town held it in the commuter parking lot next to the train station.

You visit the trunk of people you know and stay away from vans

I remember taking my kids with me back when I was in Brooklyn and having a blast but was tired the next day from all that walking

Think those are the Goldenberg peanut chews, those were responsible for making one of my kid's fillings drop out, they're pretty vile

Same goes for Bit O'Honeys and Oh Henrys.. people keep those for friggin years then hand them out as filler after they've ossified

I mean it's fine. I figure it's safe, keeps kids away from moving vehicles and it's covid-proof. There just wasn't really any info about it easily available so we got caught off guard.

Circus peanuts and candy corn are on the same trash tier for me. They were clearly invented by someone who did not accept Jesus as their Lord and savior and knew they were going to hell no matter what, so they chose to inflict pain on this mortal coil.

its like nougat and chocolate, its completely inoffensive. Having strong opinions about charleston chew is like going to the mat over vanilla ice cream.
