  • I think the pools next to the river (the greenish ones) is where the water is hot, not the river itself.

    I’ve been to different hot springs in and around Colorado. Some are swimming pools with warm water. Some are muddy (and smelly) holes in the ground. Some are absolutely lovely. But yeah, the temperature is naturally hot! I think they’re usually by a river, and people seem to have isolated/mixed the hot part with the cool river just enough to give a human-friendly temperature.











  • I enjoy the food and the recipes have a pretty good variety. They tout the fact that you can keep the recipes and make them again with ingredients you get the old fashioned way, but there’s always that one obscure ingredient (of which you only need a little) that makes it tricky. They expect you’ll have some ingredients on hand, like butter (lots of butter, actually…)

    And of course, with the preparation of dividing things out, extra packaging, shipping, etc… It does get expensive. That’s a large part of what held me back from getting it routinely. I also remember some pricing/customer service shenanigans that were annoying but can’t remember what.

    But when my daughter was in NICU long-term (doing well now!) a friend abroad got us a gift card or whatever to help us with meals. It was pretty nice for that unique time.


  • Oh, please. People who have never left their home in their entire life probably wouldn’t. Why would someone who stopped leaving their house lose their favorite? I haven’t lived in my hometown in 20 years, but I still have a favorite park from there. My vegan friend once said she misses lobster. Someone who lost their hearing could still have a favorite song.

    Just because life circumstances change, doesn’t mean they have no memory of how things used to be.
