I was just reading that the most highly addictive foods (milk chocolate, ice cream, half a dozen other junk foods) almost all have the same ratios of sugar, salt, and fat that is contained in breast milk. So basically the reason they're addictive is they use the same chemical pathways to make you feel as soothed as a baby is from nursing. As is evidenced by health trends worldwide, long term eating highly processed foods will kill you. But I bet short term it does make mental performance better.

So what you are telling me is that I could replace my coffee with ice cream! Message received. 😁

It's storing a squillion different passwords. I have three email addresses (and I know DS's as well), online banking x2 (plus the PIN for my debit card), a meal planning app, a volunteer training site account, at least one medical, the library, social media, an online course site, a charitable giving site, my church... Same brain cells, different alphanumeric codes.

It seems to me, who doesn’t really like board games but hangs out with a bunch of people who do, that there are several board game subcultures.  There’s the poly gamers, the nerd board gamers, and the Calvinist board gamers.

No no no. What it means is put your bowl of ice cream in a big coffee mug and pour your coffee over it.

My brain cells know what my parents house phone number was when I was 18 (last time they had it) but seriously struggles to remember of that other stuff.

The struggle is brutal real.

lol, yes!  I just told DH his old home phone number that we haven't used in 32 years!  I remember mine too - also from about 32 years ago.  But I dialed DH's number a lot!  ❤️

I use my first phone number as the password to my phone and tablets (mine and the kids that I have a password on). I’ll never forget the number and no one else remembers it.

Yep. I can remember 3 of my childhood phone numbers plus the number of my high school best friend's parents house yet I'm constantly having to look up my passwords.

My kids iPad passwords have always been phone numbers so they would memorize them.

This is more like the way I make it — ice cream and espresso (non alcoholic): https://abeautifulmess.com/how-to-make-an-affogato/

Sooooo good.

17 winters ago, I was having one of my weekly coffee playdates and this new homeschooling SAHdad showed up. I’m in the kitchen and say, “I can get you some coffee or maybe you’d rather have hot cocoa?” And he said, “Can I have both?” And my mind was blown bc it just hadn’t occurred to me to be so decadent and I knew we were going to become besties as I made two coffees with hot cocoa added.

True story. He’s godfather to half my kids and we still have coffee every week.

I keep good instant coffee on hand just so I can offer to make a quick bit of coffee for affrogatos in the summer.

I still remember my first childhood phone number, and most of the second one.
I struggled to remember our phone number when we lived in another town for a year.  That entire year, i struggled to remember it.  As soon as we moved, it was gone.  I doubt I could tell you any of the numbers in it.

We now have a resident therapy dog at the high school where I work, although he is a golden retriever not a lab. It has been a huge hit and he is super calming for stressed students. He belongs to one of the school counselors.

Can confirm!  I met one Friday and had a weirdly long conversation with her owner!
