What renovations does it need and how much will they cost?

We do not.

It’s an old question but still a good one I think. Do we really need this? Or is it just the industry?... the one ever on the lookout for the next money moo-moo?

Providing someone goes through the steps stated above, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the advice given.

Only if you filled it up to the brim then capped it with a lid that could not be moved by the force of water expanding.

Typically the temp differences have to be extreme, like taking the glass out of the oven and running cold water over it (broke a Pyrex dish this way...) or taking glass out of a freezing cold place and putting hot water. I crackled a vase this way. It had been left out over night in the frost and I brought it in and…

Organize my people? As though as a white woman, all other white women are my people? Not only is that statement is not in any way helpful to the progressive cause (as white women are not given magical powers to convince the worst of white society to change their minds), it also serves to create a false division…

It is not about alienating Russia, actually. Putin has shown a clear disdain for international norms, such as invading Ukraine, menacing the Baltics and Poland. It would be one thing if Putin wanted to respect their neighbors’ autonomy, but they do not.

Is there data on which of these methods works better for food safety? What about shelf life? Seems like the European method would be more economical and environmentally friendly but I’m sure American consumers would have a hard time making the switch.

Our cat absolutely WILL NOT keep a collar on. We have bought more for her than I can count. After more than a dozen “safe” collars were taken off within minutes, we got her the old fashioned buckling kind (in spite of my fears of her hanging herself on a fence); she broke out of it within a day. We’re responsible…

Back, oh, 10-years ago or so, Yahoo had it happening. Customizable home pages with various modules you could ‘plug-and-play’ with. Custom tailored news, info etc., great mail functionality, and so much more. But, for the past 5-8 years, it has turned into a failed internet cespool of ‘what not to do’, and if they had…

The truth is that nothing close to your worst case scenario will ever be realized.

Nope, nope, nope. I am an exceptionally empathetic person, and I have exceptional distaste for sad music. But, I also do not enjoy feeling of melancholy and/or sadness. I do not like to ‘feel’ them fully. No thanks. I enjoy angry music, and fun music. And also on occasion, classical. I feel that sad music may be…

So I get invited to meetings sometime and the one lady at the table gets interrupted frequently (enough for me to notice). Is it too awkward from my position to interrupt the interrupter and say “What were you saying, Rhonda?”

She seems to roll with the punches, but it mildly pisses me off when it happens

My favorite is to just wait until they’re finished and let the convo continue until someone asks me for my thoughts because now I’ve gone silent and am usually at the heart of the issue because I started the convo. I start with, “Well, if I could have finished my sentence...” or “Those are some good points I was about…

The one area I need more fat in and my body just won’t work with me. 😣

WOW! I have 257 unread emails at Yahoo!

If I ever needed a legit reason to quit Facebook, that would be it.

...this isn’t to remove debris (like leaves and twigs)..

I have to admit I inherited it. Not only can I make things grow, I can see the difference in a plant that is loved and nourished. I could do the same physical things to a plant, give it the same water and light, but if I don't cluck over it and pull dead things off and talk to it, that plant will be so much more…
