Warfarin blood thinners.
Wouldn't be surprised if we find later that after decades of use that someone's body can gain resistance to it. I'd be fucked since I'm on the blood thinner train for life*.

I'm so nervous I'm going to find out aquaphor is bad. I've been spreading it on my baby's diaper area since they were born. I know she's absorbing it right into her little body.

I've been mad about UHT milk ever since I discovered I can't make clotted cream with the ultra high temperature stuff. I don't want unpastuerized milk but ffs, let me have some texture I can work with!
You make clotted cream from milk? Doesn't that take like a week? Don't you usually start with some form of cream?
I mean, I made it once from double cream, but they don't sell that here in the Netherlands, and it's so not worth the time compared to just buying a jar of clotted cream.
More power to you though!
