Just read through it. I’m heading to the grocery this afternoon and will try this tonight! Thanks for looking out for our hands and fingers!

So, it’s not just beets. You apparently know everything. ;)

I feel bad that I LOLed, but damn. Slicing yourself enough with a plastic knife to need an ER? I can’t even imagine how he was maneuvering that bagel. On the other hand (yuk, yuk), I’ve cut my hands badly enough for stitches three times. Every time, I was handwashing dishes. Maybe I need a basic home-ec class?

Into this technique and I’ll definitely try it if I ever see a perfect avocado. Alas, I’m in Kentucky, so it’s rare to see a perfect avocado. We mostly get guac-ocados - ones meant for flavor, not necessarily beauty.

Pretty much anything to lessen the amount of dirty dishes. I feel this!

Even if you’re stuffing it, I can get close to perfect looking halves by scooping with a larger spoon.

“Swing tap” is the perfect way of describing that motion. I’m often more nervous about getting the seed off of the knife than I am getting it on. Which is why I usually ‘swing tap’ it again on the side of the sink and it falls right off.

Thank you! That’s how I’ve always done it and so far never cut myself - at least not on an avocado.

Wait. Peeling an avocado? What?

Agreed.

I can only hope that his testimony under oath can be proven to be false and that will be enough to get him out. Obviously, his unspeakable opinions on women aren’t enough.

We are Girl Scout people! I get a bit frustrated because it requires a TON of time, and after you mix in soccer and tennis or whathaveyou you end up feeling like the whole week is taken over. But my daughter is so proud to be a Girl Scout, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’m definitely crying. Not even gonna deny it.

But hopefully we aren’t. Count this as a little human prayer.

I think that my general wanting to die would be nullified by people wanting to watch.

I think it has to do with whatever flavor of “juice” you’re vaping. I don’t believe the chemical that causes popcorn lung is in all of the oils. No clue if e-cigs are any different. I just went back to the American Spirits, but I don’t think I’m ever going to stop trying to quit. Well, maybe once I’ve actually quit I…

I did the vape thing for a while until I started reading about popcorn lung. That scared me sufficiently to give it up and go back to cigarettes. I’m such a fucking idiot.

I’m going to check this out, but only because I respect the fuck out you all. I don’t have the best track record with British humor. Either I adore it (AbFab) and it becomes part of my DNA, or it falls completely flat for me and I feel like rather than just missing out on the joke, I may be the butt of it.

HAHAHA! Thank you!

I was such a goth in high school. It never goes away, it’s still hanging back just under my high rise mom jeans and clogs and PTA meetings.
