Bloody Mary is often made with Angostura or Pechaud's bitters. In a Virgin Mary, these can be replaced by nonalcoholic bitters.

Nonalcoholic bitters include citrus, herbal, and Swedish versions.

Homemade V-8 juice includes recipes for canning or this V-12 variation. Here is a fresh tomato Bloody Mary mix.

Garden smoothies typically rely on greens and vegetables. Enjoy recipes for tomato and green smoothies.

The best hangover breakfasts include things like Yogurt Parfait, Allbran Buttermilk Banana Nut Muffins, Allbran Breakfast Cookies, Allbran Oatmeal, Peanut Butter Banana Sandwich, Vegan Breakfast Bake, and Soft-Boiled Egg Over Vegetables and Toast.

Instant microwave oatmeal can be made with Strawberry Mango, Date Walnut, and Blueberry Banana flavors.

To poach eggs in a cup without sticking, put in a big blob of butter or olive oil (better for hangovers as it's dairy-free). The egg will float and poach in the fat, which adds flavor, but you don't actually have to eat the fat.

Whole Multigrain Bread is a healthy and flavorful option.

Roasted Vegetables make a nice addition to breakfast.

High-protein foods include venison. Nuts add fat without grease. This recipe for Venison Sausage is similar, but most of the pork fat has been replaced with nuts. Chestnuts and piñon nuts provide healthy fat.

Pemmican is a historic trail food.

The toiletries kit includes a comb, toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, dental floss, razor, shaving cream, soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion.

Woodsy fragrances are popular for things like body wash and soap. Most use essential oils. The Backwoods Blend is a gender-neutral mix of bergamot, oakmoss, pine, patchouli, and honeysuckle.

The Winter Harvest Handbook by Eliot Coleman explains four-season farming methods.

Alcohol screening questions cover problem drinking and binges.

A coping skills questionnaire may cover brief topics. This one asks about facing a current challenge, and this one contrasts healthy and unhealthy methods. Here is a longer one.

Learn coping skills with worksheets or a list that's sorted by type. This one has a self-list. Reduce stress with your senses. Call on your coping skills with this worksheet.

This is a typical module on coping skills designed for use in short-term therapy. Such things are widely available at community centers and mental clinics in Terramagne-America. A problem caused by lack of skills is often straightforward to solve by learning new skills. See the Introduction, Tools to Help Solve Problems, How We Think and Feel, Coping Strategies, and Setting Goals.

Aging metals can make them look older. Antiquing jewelry makes it look vintage. Blackening can be done in various ways. Tarnish paste even comes in colors. Watch a video of multicolor application.

Enjoy some healthy campfire recipes and tribal recipes.

Flying monkey on your back -- an addiction to zetetic substances or devices, or superpowers. This can be even more difficult to break than ordinary addictions, which is where the phrase "monkey on your back" came from.

Gate-R -- a psychoactive drug that reduces feelings of shame, guilt, and anxiety so people just don't care about what's wrong in their lives. It tends to cause scar tissue inside blood vessels, and can literally make people's arms and legs rot off, but it also does enough nerve damage that they don't always feel it. Occasionally it causes people to develop patches of scaly alligator skin or other reptilian traits. Carl Bernhardt was involved in creating a number of street drugs based in part on animals, including Gate-R.

H-Force -- a zetetic street drug designed to enhance muscle development and speed, based on material from horses. It can also cause muscle spasms, fragile bones, and respiratory problems. Occasionally it causes people to develop Super-Strength, Super-Speed or primal traits. This is a second-generation drug inspired by the work of Carl Bernhardt.

MOOVE -- a zetetic street drug intended to cause intense sexual arousal, which works on both sexes. It is based on material from cows. Unfortunately, it has a variety of unpleasant side effects, like random lactation and allergies to dairy products. It raises the risk of problems in the sexual organs. It can cause some people to manifest bovine traits. Most manifestations happen to the user, but it also increases the chance of giving birth to an infant with animal traits.

"It Gets Better" is highly charged because some people love it while others hate it. Sometimes it actively makes matters worse. That really comes down to how people feel about both the phrase and their situation. If it resonates with them, like it does for Tarnish, they may find it a valuable life preserver. For others, it works more like a brick. A key point is that life doesn't get better by chance, it gets better by choice. That means people need both the tools and the power to make meaningful changes in their lives.
