I, too, have been thinking of putting up a screened askbox sticky and doing an ask meme to inaugurate it.

>>If I wore anything besides t-shirts and sweatpants, though<<
Every so often I see people refer to T-shirts and sweatpants as being generic casual clothing, and I always find it odd. How does that work? The outdoor temperature ranges at which I wear T-shirts and at which I wear sweatpants do not overlap at all, unless I'm going for a medical procedure for which they need easy access to my arm (in which case I put a hoodie over the T-shirt as *well* as the winter coat, so it's almost like wearing a suitably wintery shirt but easier to take off when you get there).
I can handle indoor sweatpants pretty well unless it's a weird indoors, but otherwise I overheat wearing sweatpants if it's more than about 55 - 60 F.
(And for that matter, I don't get how anyone wears any pants *other* than sweatpants in winter: if it's below freezing or so nothing else will do, at least not comfortably or for long periods of time. On days when it's only a little below freezing I walk to work in my uniform leggings and suffer (sometimes jogging just so I can reach the warmth faster), and on particularly cold days I wear snow pants on top of the leggings.
...maybe the lack of sweatpants in cold weather would make more sense if I wore jeans? Are jeans good at dealing with cold?)

>>I'm trying to eat low-carb because of the diabetes, so my snacks are... interesting.<<
Would you like some ideas from my mom's selection of diabetic-friendly recipes, and if so, with what restrictions? (Like, almond-cheddar biscuits are great, but almond meal is a bit expensive (and so is cheddar if you don't replenish your cheddar stock during sales) and there is some mixing and baking involved.)

That was a very strange month, yes. At least you got to participate in Rolling Up the Rim to Win during what little time you spent in the vicinity of a Tim Hortons.
