At the very least, definitely invest in index funds. Though tempting, do not sell when the stock market takes a dip.

One thing that has helped me when using paper towels in the microwave is to drench it, squeeze out water, and place it on top of your food. This kiiiinda rehydrates the food too. Blocks splatters from happening too :) 

Her book is called Safe and Sound: A Renter-Friendly Guide to Home Repair. She’s great and gives easy to follow practical advice which works for renters and homeowners.

Mercury Stardust, the Trans Handy Ma’am, just came out with a book on DIY home repair, with emphasis on rentals.

Hell yeah! And nothing wrong with Bisquick; it’s a fine product!

I’ve always done this; I even used Bisquik one time when I had a major time crunch, and based on my guests’ comments, you’d think I had made the finest of pastries. Maybe I’ll make strawberry shortcake this weekend!

Agree with the last bit... Actual peanut butter - the stuff with one ingredient on the ingredient list - kinda needs to be stirred up a bunch and set in the fridge. It won’t separate then, and stays easy to spread.

My day one question is a slight variation: “What is at the top of your wish list of things you want me to accomplish now I’m here, the thing you want to happen more than anything?”

Yeah, I tried this, and all I got was a “Sorry this is the rate other apartments in the area are at.”  Because Indy is f’in expensive.  I really wish I had started house hunting in 2019, even with no money to put down.  I would have been in an house in 6 months flat and gotten down payment assistance.  :(

OMG, most of these are just horrible suggestions.

Melamine sponges clean via abrasion. Wet or dry, they clean by sanding a fine layer off of whatever you are attempting to clean. That fine layer may be dirty crud, or it could be the object you are attempting to clean.

Pepper jack!

Eight is not enough.

Your wife works in a hospital but keeping tradition is worth more than her potentially spreading a deadly disease to all 20.

Not understanding what is so damn important about eating out in a restaurant. I am all for supporting the businesses, but at this point it is ridiculous.

You’re right but idk how you’re going to convince most people of this when restaurants are open.

My area just started to allow indoor dining again a few weeks ago; it’s really hard to convince people to take precautions for one very important meal that they aren’t even being asked to do for normal stuff.

We’re how many…

I know, you think you’re special and it’s everyone else who is driving the spread of COVID.
