don’t bother ordering an extra-dry martini. Save yourself the money and order cold gin.

You’re gonna have to do prep no matter what, unless you’re just throwing cans of stuff in the slow cooker.

As many hear would testify, get a pressure cooker and don’t waste time with a slow cooker. A PC out performs a SC any day of the week, and what would take hours with the latter only takes a half-hour with the former.

I have had very similar experiences. Sometimes the same size/type of Levis will vary from pair to pair. One fits like a glove, the next will feel like I’m in some sort of Medieval torture device.

Oh, of course I wouldn’t try it at home. Eating raw chicken in the US is a all but guaranteed trip to the hospital. Japan is pretty good about not letting meat providers poison their customers.

Ah, but there is chicken sashimi. I’ve eaten it in Nagoya, Japan - they’re famous for their chicken dishes, and raw is often on the menu.

Clean your apartment as you would clean your body before an intimate encounter: pay attention to the things that can be seen and/or smelled.

Not dismissing anything in the post, which is great advice. In my experience, neighborhood bars are full of people ready to make your acquaintance. People go out to have a drink because they want to be social, especially on the weekends. Sure, there are some who want to have a drink at their local and that’s it... but…

I’m surprised bars got barely a mention.

Your joke is funny, but I disagree. Sake, raw eggs and oysters sound amazing.

Everyone thinks they’re Steve McQueen the minute they sit behind the wheel of one of those.

One should note, though, that once the egg touches hot sake, it is no longer raw.

I use this:

Great. Next time I’m in Macedonia, I’ll jump on the monkey bars. But the country I was referring to was the US.

Farts and bananas

In a lot of the country, adults aren’t allowed in a playground without a child.

People who do that look like they just came out of the bathroom and accidentally tucked part of their shirt into their pants.

Fair enough!

As a former smoker, I can’t stand the taste and throat feel of vaping. Am I the only one?

I smoked for, oh, 20 years or so. I gave it up about 2 or 3 years ago. Just put ‘em down and that was that. I’m one of the very lucky ones who just didn’t have an issue.
