Weddings are the worst ones, but I usually make sure to clearly communicate that while it sounds amazing and I wish I was there for them, there was no way I could afford it.

I always think of this in these situations:

That’s exactly my thing with this, and the reason I’ve taken the stance of being perfectly okay with what happened. The site is BILLED as “hey, come cheat on your spouse”. There are many other dating sites out there where people can go and open state “I’m in a commited but open relationship and I am looking for a…

This makes a lot of sense to me. I recently left one job and started another and this summer has seemed to take FOREVER, yet as I’m getting used to the new job, and familiarizing myself with it, time does seem to be moving faster.

Mine specifically stated that it was safe for dishwashing in the paperwork, but upon further research I do agree with you it might not be best. There seems to be controversy as to whether or not it can significantly damage them, people suggesting it’s fine if you put them on the top rack and keep other stuff cleared…

Thank you for that, I’ll give it a try!

Having recently received a set of stainless pans as a gift, the primary way I’ve heard of to get them spotless is with what’s known as Barkeeper’s Friend. They tend to remain cloudy otherwise, but at the same time I haven’t found that to be overly harmful. Another boon is that they’re perfectly dishwasher safe and in…

I think it depends a lot on how the fish was handled prior to you cooking it (if it was frozen it’ll be safer), and the ones you’re naming off are larger fish. Usually your larger fish, especially if it’s a thick cut, I’ll cook to be somewhat underdone in the middle. Tuna I’ll cook like a medium-rare beef steak if I…

Raw fish used for sushi was frozen at some point for those reasons precisely. Any time you see packaging stating the food is “safe” for sushi it’s because it was frozen which killed off as much as could be killed without cooking it. That being said, I prefer tuna steaks to still be somewhat raw in the centers, and…

It has depended on what was being delivered and how eager I was for it. A larger item I know I couldn’t mess with like, say, a computer would likely go to work. Something that would fit into the mailbox, however, tended to go home. Plus, like I said, most things I’d want to mess with and that’s pretty distracting at…

That was my thought exactly. I’ve never once had unused pizza dough.

I was very tempted to do this, as I’ve had times I wanted to make sure I got a package from my mailbox while I was at work a little over 7 miles away. Basically, I don’t like to leave packages in when I know no one is home and I lived close enough to drive home on my lunch break to snag it and put it inside... okay,…

Except that, as I said, I want to try and upgrade two copies, but I have no second computer at the moment. What I’m trying to find out is whether there is a way to do this without installing and activating another copy on a trash computer for the sole purpose of upgrading. If there is, awesome, if not then I guess I…

If anyone can please explain this portion to me I’d be incredibly grateful. I bought two copies of Windows 8 when it first came out because of its discounted price and the fact that I like to keep a spare copy for rebuilding computers/dual-booting Macs, etc. I ALSO have a brand new computer that came with a copy of…

This was my thought as well, I knew I’d read something similar somwhere, thanks for explaining it better than I could have.

I had a pretty good laugh at that, myself. Always find it amusing when people are pointing out a fallacy and make a common-place mistake of their own.

That actually makes a lot of sense. The funny thing about that, to me, is that what I want to delete are things such as mailing list emails that shouldn’t matter much to their data mining since they’d still have record of me receiving it, so what does it matter if I delete it? Oh well, I can always just keep using…

I really wish they would make it so I can change the “delay” feature to “delete”. I’d like to be able to archive or delete with a swipe one way or the other. That’s literally all I do with an email once I’ve read it. If I actually need to review it again at a later date I can simply search for it. I don’t need…

Wow... that’s one way to completely misread what I said and give a piss poor example of one time the approach would not be even remotely applicable. I didn’t say let a child make all mistakes, big or small, let them hurt themselves, and ignore any and all disabilities they may have, did I? I don’t think I did. Let me…

Yeah, I definitely am more referring to actual physical acts, such as breaking a toy, bumping his head, etc. I doubt I’ll be nearly as hands-off as my kid gets older because the mistakes get a lot larger. And none of this is at the exclusion of education. I teach and explain things to him repeatedly before finally…
