How Long Does Flour Last in Mylar Bags – Safety First
Flour is one of the most essential ingredients in every kitchen, but it doesn’t stay fresh forever. When stored improperly, it can spoil quickly due to moisture, pests, or exposure to air. That’s where Mylar bags come in — a reliable solution for long-term flour storage. These specialized bags block out air, light, and insects, dramatically extending the shelf life of flour compared to regular packaging.

A Centaur Is Never Lonely
The backstory comes in the prologue, where we learn about the tragic death, in 1972, of the poet’s brother, Joshua, who, at two years old, had wandered into a neighbor’s pool where he drowned. The book itself, however, begins not with Joshua’s death, but with Oberman’s father’s passing at 59, in 2006, from lung cancer. Loss thus weaves its way through this book, and Oberman traces how it has shaped his relationship to his father, who, as he makes clear, was taken from him not only in death, but earlier, first through his emotional withdrawal while grieving Joshua, and later through his inability to fully accept Oberman’s gender identity. As Oberman puts it: “I knew he loved me. I knew he didn’t have any idea how to love me. I stopped trying to talk about my gender.”

My Favorite "Power" Foods To Eat & Recipe Changes I've Made While On A GLP-1
In late June, I decided to take the plunge and try a GLP-1 medication. It was something I had debated and talked with my doctor about for quite a while, but I was always a bit nervous to give it a shot – no pun intended. I’ve always struggled with my weight and as I started getting older, I noticed that I was experiencing a lot more pain and inflammation than I was comfortable with. I also have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), which my doctor thought was likely contributing to the symptoms I was experiencing, along with consistently gaining weight year after year. It seemed like nothing I tried or did ever made a difference in my pain levels or helped me drop any pounds. After initially having a rather negative experience with Metformin, I made the decision to give it a try.
