Anyone else here still holding onto childhood?
I have a few hundred Yu-Gi-Oh! cards consisting of a couple pretty aggressive / defensive decks. I never play them anymore, I was in my late 30s when I got into it for about 6-9 months. My card protectors are even My Little Pony, everyone thought I didn’t know how to play and people hated losing to me... like I wasn’t taking the game seriously. :D
I’ve also amassed a collection of 27 LEGO sets. Consists of all the police sets from the first Lego movie with other larger sets from the movie as well. None of them are opened, I just own them. I have a couple from the Lego Batman movie, one is open / built, the rest still sealed. The only ones I would build out were the Star Wars sets, there’s 6 of those assembled or partially assembled.
I have no idea why I own this stuff anymore. It just seems to take up space. Lately I’ve thought I should sell this dust collecting plastic to free up some closet space.
Currently the pile of Lego sets is sitting obnoxiously in the corner of my living room taunting me to sell them.
Prepare for a similar post in the Making Beats thread regarding my collection of controllers that also collect dust.

We hired a new part time nanny recently, and she has been amazing for the last two weeks, taking care of our son and teaching him so many new things. A great relationship in the making and I couldn't be happier! A couple of days ago she sent me a text asking if she could make us dinner, which we have never asked her to do and never even considered asking. I called her, and after a quick discussion we agreed she could make something that she specializes in as long as it didn't interfere with taking care of our son.
After work, I get home, and I can smell something amazing when I stop off the elevator. Sure enough, it's my apartment, and she's there with my son, and dinner is made, and the kitchen is spotless, and I'm beyond excited and happy. Nobody has ever done this before for us (except mom). So we have a wonderful evening, eat this spectacular Dominican rice dish, and are able to spend more time interacting with our son instead of cooking and cleaning. We feel rich.
Then, a few minutes later, a headache slams me like I've never experienced before. This intense throbbing at the back of my head, and it hurts bad. I tell my wife this, and she says she feels the same, so we take the rare Tylenol, drink a lot of water, and we feel better by bedtime.
The next morning, the nanny returns and I tell her how amazing it was to have dinner prepared and that I couldn't be more grateful. I said that the dinner tasted incredibly good, and asked if she was able to find all the seasonings in my cabinet (I keep this thing stocked), and she said she had to get a few things, which she proceeds to show me. All three seasonings she added were basically pure MSG. She didn't know it, she was just doing what her mom always did.
I didn't say that we all got insane headaches, but I'm pretty sure it was the MSG. Until this happened, I was of the concrete belief that anyone who reported MSG caused headaches was just making shit up, part of the placebo effect, but now I'm a solid believer that it does indeed cause dehydration and headaches. Yikes!
- Presumbly the times you've used your three MSG-containing seasonings, you've not suffered headaches? Implies quantity used, more than anything.Nairn
- if she used shit-tons, you'd have a high sodium load, but because it's not chloride, you'd not notice 'til it was (very quickly) absorbed.Nairn
- i thought this was going somewhere else entirely. (that's what you get when you re-read all of miller's books)Gnash
- MSG is found naturally, especially in Kelp seaweed, I'm not convinced it's the cause. More like the preservatives / colourings / 'Natural' flavourings...shapesalad
- Not quite - glutamate is indeed found in seaweed (and cheese, tomatoes, etc), whereas the manufactured stuff is bound to sodium to make it chemically stableNairn
- The unhealthy side of MSG is, as I suggested above, probably just because people double-dose sodium in MSG and then table salt.Nairn
- Nairn, I didn’t have msg in my cabinet. She bought it. Shapesalad, that was my thinking before this.monospaced
- We limit our table salt intake becuase the chloride has a very strong taste - MSG doesn't have that, so it's easy to OD.Nairn
- Like I said. I still think it was quick dehydration from the addition of too much msg. Not something I believed until this truly blind test.monospaced
- Ah yes, quite right - I misread that part, mono.Nairn
- She added Goya Sazón (pure msg and preservatives) and an msg based bullion, plus Goya Adobo seasoning, which is pure salt basically. Probably sodium overload.monospaced
- Jesus :\ The sad thing is, a lot of those short-cut products completely mislead in their presentation - implying natural stock ingredients, but are barelyNairn
- Lol.. I was half expecting this story ending up with you sleeping with the baby sitter..autoflavour
- I didn’t read who wrote it until the end.. not a personal dig.. just felt like that was the direction it was takingautoflavour
- I think it's the iodine that gives table salt it's strong flavour. Try seasalt/kosher salt. It's way smoother.monNom
- Thanks monNom but I always use kosher salt and that’s all I’ve got in the house.monospaced
- MSG hands down the worst thing... if doesn’t affect you now, it will later and it is debilitating, head explodes w/ blinding migraine fun!prophetone
- Stay away from sketchy soups as well like wonton soup base as it’s like mainlining it right to your brain, on like a light switchprophetone
- I had a bowl of pho today. Pretty sure that has msg in it. We will see.monospaced
- Man.. please make sure she doesn’t ever put any on your kid’s food.maquito
- Dude. Kid ate some of the rice. But he slept like a dream so...monospaced
- It could eventually catch up... first 30 yrs of my life was 100% no prob w/ wonton soup etc - if I consume any MSG now it's pulling the pin on grenadeprophetone
- I think I repeated myself, only because for me it's like the one thing that will take me down hard, it's in A LOT of food products, always reading those labels!prophetone
- Why not do an A/B test here and mention the MSG headache and ask her to use your spices that would me a similar match.BonSeff
- It would be an interesting experiment

How does any of this relate to his paycheck for his TV job?

Coached my sons kindergarten indoor soccer team last night. Nathan (our goalkeeper) would NOT STOP picking his nose. Even with an attack mounting down the middle, he stood firm, unaffected and apathetic as hell.
Fucking Nathan.- Ardent nose picking != apatheticNairn

Cold remedies?
My sinuses are going haywire and I'm just an insane snot factory, so much so that it's upsetting my stomach and in the middle of the night I throw up mucus uncnontrolably. It is disgusting. I can't eat. I forced myself to eat some fruit and half of a papoosa. This only happens to me once a year if that, so because I don't get sick often I don't know what to do.
I bought some Tylenol sinus (got yesterday), Theraflu tea (just purchased), and Zicam swabs (just purchased). I need to kill this sickness now!
- gin and tonic
i'm not kidding. work for me for whatever reason...pango - Hot Toddies and pseudoephedrine.thumb_screws
- +1 hot toddies. I’ll have one when I’m not sick!MrT
- Gargle with hot salt water 2x daily.i_monk
- Theraflu tea (daytime) in the morning + any strong expectorant. Theraflu syrup (sleep aid stuff) before bed. Cured myself in days after week and half of hell.futurefood
- Saline solution in a nasal spray, its in the baby aisle. Trust me, as a dad of snot gobblins. I use it as well. Just stay on it and clear up.BonSeff

Jussie Smollett
he was incredibly stupid.
The two guys worked with him on Empire.
Everybody saw something was off when he claimed that he went to Subway at 2am during the insane cold in Chicago recently. A bunch of his statements didn't make sense and he was saying they were calling him fagg*t and this is MAGA country in Chicago LOL where there is like 95% liberal population voting for Hillary. He said that they were pouring bleach on him etc which is pretty hilarious. What racist white supremacists pours bleach on a black dude to make him white LOL. Completely idiotic. Not to mention shitting on half of the country.
He paid them with a check he signed.
He talked to them on the phone before, and shortly after the attack. Then when police asked him for phone records he redacted the calls he made to the brothers so police didn't really have to work too hard but subpoenaed the cell phone company to just reveal the numbers he redacted.
They saw them on camera leaving the place where they met him and the brothers said they practiced everything and they wanted to use gasoline but ended up with bleach.
They have brothers on tape buying bleach, red hats and noose.
Brothers basically told everything and backed it up with receipts
He previously sent to himself a letter with white powder and drawings about a gun to his head while he was hanging from the tree on a noose. Thus the Feds are involved now too because they can charge him with domestic terrorism using postal office.
He's an idiot and a piece of shit.
- He also kept the noose on till the cops came.BH26
