A purge, wipe-down, and plastic containers worked in a jiffy for me. I did spot stragglers for a little while but I think that was just because of stray eggs continuing a little development. Since my issue with them, I have kept things like flour and cornstarch in the freezer or fridge which I think helps (if space…

Yes, Monster had voice, performance quality, and charisma all going for him. No complaints from me on his win and he probably had it in the bag since mid-season. Gladys deserved better than this though!

I thought Donny’s song choice was awful. It wasn’t exciting or exhilarating (at least not in this context), it didn’t highlight his singing whatsoever, and it was just a very thin performance. I didn’t even think the showmanship was particularly great. Gladys’ song choice let her be Gladys in all her glory with no…

Yeah, I’m not sure about laws in the US (possibly different by state) but I have always worked in places with policies against working alone. I would guess that Family Dollar has such a policy, but maybe they can get away with staffing a cashier and a stockperson. They wouldn’t be much help to each other in an…

On top of the pump break issues, I’m alarmed that she had to post a sign that she was ALONE in the store. Maybe there are some other people working who are not authorized to use the registers, but I would be absolutely terrified to work storefront completely alone and then have to advertise that fact.

Hopefully the OJ-puke just smelled like OJ :) I was once on a subway with a group of young Navy guys toting their mostly-passed-out friend home. He woke up enough to vomit up about a gallon of whatever he had been drinking- I’d guess strawberry margarita by the not-unpleasant smell.

I was living in Boston in the winter of 2015 and had just gotten a car to commute to a job outside the city. I happened to work Sunday-Thursday nights, leaving work around 1am. I was disinterested in that particular Super Bowl (ugh Patriots), so I worked a regular Sunday shift while all the locals called out. Because…

I’M HOOKED. I think the peacock is Hasselhoff! Deer is 1000000% Bradshaw.

I had a recent bit of horror when I randomly thought of a guy I went to high school with and thought I would see what he’s doing for work now. Googled his name and location, and it came up with article after article about him having been caught with loads of child porn. Enough that he was sentenced to prison for 10…

As a kid getting shots and IVs, I learned strategies to be doing some other little thing at the time of impact, as it were. I had a nurse once teach me to take a deep breath or start talking to a family member the same second the injection would happen (nurse had to give warning). It worked amazingly well, much like…

When I was younger, I had many many ER visits with required IV injection, and I got quite used to looking. Usually though I preferred to not look for the initial puncture and then watch while they wiggled around and sorted it out. I haven’t needed that in about 15 years though so now I look away with injections. I…

I have never wanted to have a baby, but sometimes I wonder if I will have any sudden maternal desire if my hormones go goofy or something. I’m pretty sure you just killed whatever latent maternal instinct might’ve been in there with your SIL’s story. So thank you!

Yup, gonna make that recipe this week (with turkey). Thank you!

ME TOO. I had to go back to double check after reading the blurb.

God Threenuts is just the very best. This was exactly what I needed today.

Hmmm. Claire Foy’s shoes appear to be asymmetrically sparkly. I like the idea but I don’t think I’m on board with the execution here.

I dislocated my hip by reading a book.

That photo of Macron very oddly reminds me of Christoph Waltz, with his cheesy “That’s a bingo!” smile. 

Fun and/or pedantic fact: that bacteria is called Serratia marcescens, and develops the pink/red pigment called prodigiosin when it grows around 25 degrees C (approximately room temp) but does not develop it when it grows at 37 degrees C, body temperature. Handy for us to spot it in our bathrooms! Sorry, my former…

Yeah! I’ve watched a few times, but it’s one of those things that I don’t want to watch 4 episodes in a row, I’d rather just have it on tv once a day while I putter around. Either way, it’ll always be worth a re-watch!
