Any towel usually makes me cringe. I have watched too many people leave them on the floor, pick them up and wipe their face, wipe the machine (WTF?!?), and leave.

Dang. I initially saw “Valhalla Supermarkets” and got wayyyy too excited.

I did that as a child because my parents ALWAYS cooked/ruined steaks to well-done and beyond.

ISAMU...

Years ago, I found a tea with senna and persimmon leaves. At the time, I thought persimmon leaf tea sounded delightful...little did I realize that I would be crapping my brains out until I made the connection between the tea and the explosive runs.

...old conservative males, from what I can guess. No one else tho.

That middle photo had a great comment from a 2014 article featuring these photos:

I just kinda figured her singing voice finally assumed a material form and expelled itself.

K-cups are wasteful—and IMHO, do not make a strong enough cup. I use a large T-sac, drop in a few spoonfuls of coffee, then steep it as long as I want. :-) I am lazy, environmentally friendly, AND caffeine addicted.

The other problem with this “smoosh” is that it makes breathing more difficult. That band looks danged painful in several ways.

Heh...back when I lived in an apartment and had enough of my neighbor’s rap (despite going next door and asking repeatedly), I took my speakers, placed them against the wall, and played a bunch of J-Pop (fast tempo, high-pitch Japanese) until he came over and apologized.

That is adulting like a champ.

I agree on the home decorating. I had an epiphany, and threw all of my “decorative” caffeine cans into recycling, then proceeded to declutter the heck out of my house.

I would like to think that is a skill that should be developed while still at home. It is simple consideration for other people.

I recently outright refused my brother’s offer to take apart my gas dryer (to retrieve an object HE dropped into the vent) and paid a professional. Why? Alot of things have gone wrong with this house, I was not about to give him an opportunity to blow it up/set it on fire.

THIS! So much this!! I have been learning lots of things about fixing/maintaining a house—and Youtube is my best friend. (My parents also live out of state and have never visited)

Nope nope nope. I have nothing by way of maternal instinct, know nothing of human larvae, and my friends accept this.

Agreed. If someone were to ask me to change their kid’s poop-filled diaper, I would probably use some not-so-nice choice words for them. I do not have kids, do not want to have kids, so to heck with anyone who wants me to deal with the s*** that is of their own making.

I saw much better with PRK (LASIK, but they scrape off the cornea). I did not enjoy the fact that my vision was 20/400 and I could not even see my alarm clock in the morning. After a decade of contact lenses, my eyes started rejecting the contacts—and things got worse as people would approach me in the gym and I could…

I had PRK (same as LASIK, but they scrape off the cornea for better access), no valium, and definitely smelled the burning. Hell, my brother got a cell-phone video of the smoke coming off my eyes.
