1) 1%? 90%? Where are these numbers coming from? As to this situation, a quick google tells me FTD (what Willis has been diagnosed with) has a prevalence of 0.01% to 4%. I can’t fault Willis for not predicting he would get it, or Heming for not considering it. Or perhaps they did! Often when people get married they…

Unless, of course, you suffer a catastrophic brain injury or tomorrow. No one is guaranteed good health or a long life.

No kidding. A peeler and a masher are so much easier to wash than a rack. And I’m skeptical of Claire’s claim tip with the ricer. I can see that working with one or two potatoes, but with, say, five pounds-worth, I expect one would have to spend a lot of time removing the skin before squishing the next potato.

You hate me, don’t you?

I just made this recipe (without the peanut butter), and it was quite liquidy, definitely a pourable consistency. I did use an overripe banana, though.

I guess, but “Excuse me, sir/ma’am” seems more polite than “excuse me, you with the purple shirt.” It could be a generational thing.

““If I were teaching my children today, I would teach them to say, ‘yes’ or ‘no’ followed by an honorific (Mr./Ms./Mx.). For example, ‘Yes, Mr. Butler,’” she said.”

I think a simple “I’m lucky to have this opportunity” is probably the best way to go, rather than trying for any self-deprecation. It has the benefit of being true, and it doesn’t make the situation all about you, whereas humble bragging and regular bragging are all about the self.

I suppose you could also do small (but not individual) servings in ramekins. I love potatoes Anna, but no one but me will eat them.

Ha, yes, my mom keeps her passwords in a notebook by her computer. I don’t think she’s ever used an ATM.

I’m absolutely mystified by this lack. I’d be willing to pay a bit more so my mom (fixed income) and my brother (actual monk with a vow of poverty) can share my account. We benefit and Netflix benefits because that’s more money they otherwise would not get.

No, but I liked being able to let my elderly mother on a fixed income share my streaming accounts. If Netflix is going to be anti-sharing, it’d be nice if they offered a compromise, like an additional fee (say half-price) to add another user outside the home. It’d be a win for them, because my mom won’t be able to…

I miss the Volunteer Proofreader.

I use one to store my pastel buttons. Not as exciting as your booze-related uses, but still fun!

I’ve been making a version of this using a mini muffin pan for years now. I’m not a big fan of hot dogs in general, but they do pair very well with (sweetish) corn bread.

Well, now I know what I’m having for dessert.

I loved how the normally sweet, optimistic Kitty was the one to see her daughter for who she was.

Love your username.

I’m not going to see this movie, but I thoroughly enjoyed the review!

I haven’t seen enough to call it garbage, but yeah. This is not what I enjoy about the Ant-Man movies.
