He can prepare all he wants. With his history of tangents and literally throwing away prepared speeches, I doubt it’s going to go as planned.

Probably because plastics can break down over time. Pure, unadulterated plastics tend to be extremely rigid and brittle, which is not ideal for water bottles. Chemicals called plasticizers are added to make them more flexible and stabilizers are added to slow down degradation. It’s these additives that can leach into…

I have made the mistake (one too many times) of touching my face after cutting jalapenos, and that spot starts to burn. After trying milk, I broke out the heavy cream and gave myself a facial with it. It helped so much!!

They smell like ball sack to me. There is a definite yeasty-ness to the smell. But then again, I live blocks from an Italian bread factory which smells heavenly. Maybe it’s a combination of both?

Years ago, my mother sent out a payment for the daily newspaper subscription. Back then, you got the canceled checks back. She took a look at all the checks that came back, and on that one, someone used white-out to cover up the addressee and put their own name. Their bank took a check that has white-out on it!!! How…

When my sister and I were teething, my mom would give us frozen peas and carrots mix to munch on (she took out the lima beans though). The pieces were small enough where they weren’t a choking hazard and the cold would have helped to numb the pain (by the time we could coordinate our hands to our mouths, they weren’t…

I need to send this to my sister. She bought a house in Connecticut last year and has too many of them. I finally convinced her to keep the ticks she finds on her. She flushed the first one down the drain, after I told her not too. Now she bags and tags them and puts them in the freezer. But this may be a lot easier.

Same at Red Lobster this past weekend. No salads for the foreseeable future. (don’t judge, they have damn good biscuits!)

And here I thought the Post Office finances investigation was a distraction from Comey’s book. If it’s both, then Comey’s book must have tons of juicy details!

My first foray into cheesy goodness was at a Swiss restaurant in NYC (I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the place). It was traditional fondue, with the bread and the veggies, but I also ordered an addition of air-dried beef to dip. So freaking delicious! I’ve since visited The Melting Pot a number of…

I agree. We have a freezer that likes to overfill itself, setting off the “high level” alarm. Of course, the mute button doesn’t work, so someone (I haven’t found out who) has been shutting the power to the freezer off to stop the alarm. Pissed doesn’t even begin to describe my emotional state!

Coming here to post the same thing! I hate SurePost for the sheer fact that once it’s delivered to the post office, that’s the end of UPS’ or FedEx’s responsibility. Then, the post office can deliver it when ever they feel like it. I vaguely remember telling this to an Amazon rep when my item showed up late. Two day…

More like have someone do the emailing for him, so he can claim “plausible deniability” when the shit hits the fan.

Chop and throw in while cooking. But you have to use fresh, not dried.

I love thyme too. Have you ever had scrambled eggs with thyme? I had it at a bed and breakfast, and it was divine! Now I have a little thyme bush that I keep just for my eggs.

They are good with their own money. They never said they were good with other people’s money.

I’ll bite:

I think he was confusing the 1996 Australian massacre with the 1996 British school massacre. But, like the Australian response, the British responded by severely tightening gun laws.

I feel the need to highlight the fact that it’s 36% effective in PREVENTING the flu. Meaning that you have a 36% chance of not getting the flu at all. But that doesn’t take into account that the shot is extremely effective in making you less miserable if you actually do get the flu.

Makes sense. I guess Palmerston got tired of the quiet intrigue and decided to take matters into his own hands (paws?).
