No bans of chocolate chips on anything will ever be issued. You have my word.

As someone who uses a Nintendo switch and an Xbox, the A and B buttons should be in the same place on all game controllers.

There are so many good Neil Peart lyrics it’s hard to choose a favourite.

This one is definitely in my top 5:

Subdivisions

In the high school halls

In the shopping malls

Conform or be cast out

Subdivisions

In the basement bars

In the backs of cars

Be cool or be cast out

Any escape might help to smooth

The unattractive truth

But the suburbs have no charms to soothe

The restless dreams of youth

Have you been to Disneyland Paris?

It could have been a Williams pear. They ripen from green to yellow. Some even have a pinky peach blush. They’re so soft and sweet and juicy when perfectly ripe.

In the uk we commonly have Williams (yellow) or conference (green sometimes with a brown skin)

“You can’t make a silk purse from sows ear” means you can’t make something nice from rubbish. “You can’t get blood from a stone” means attempting something difficult, if not impossible and futile”. E.g. “trying to get my kids to tell me about their school day is like trying to get blood from a stone.” It doesn’t matter how hard I try I get nothing.

I’m currently using Memmy and having no issues at all

Definitely have a go of the CeraVe SA smoothing cream. A little goes a long way and it will work miracles for dry skin. You can use it all over your body too. I’ve got a big pot of the stuff and it lasts ages. They also have moisturisers with SPF which you can use together with the SA cream. The foaming oil cleanser or the hydrating cleanser would be great for you.

Another vote for CeraVe here. I have oily skin and still at the age of 40 get some acne and their blemish control cleanser and the SA moisturiser keep it under control. My skin has never been better.

What’s your skin like OP? Is it dry or oily? Do you work outside? I can better recommend some products if I know what you need.
