Under heavy, heavy Covid restrictions.

If you are using a realtor, then that person stays in the house, not you.  The realtor will report back what comments are made and you can be guided by that.  If there is a flaw, people may be reluctant to tell the owner, but they will tell a realtor.  Your bright, purple walls with the sequins... potential buyers…

Sometimes you’re trying to avoid the buyer lowering his offer by $30K. Also some houses just won’t sell without some minor upgrades and you have the joy of being stuck in it for months, paying utilities, maybe HOA assessments, taxes, etc. while the house you wanted to move into gets sold.

“...it’ll save around 0.25 gallons per flush—better than nothing...” That’s a 25% savings - a quart on each flush. You wouldn’t want to go too much further than that in order to remove waste.

“That said, I couldn’t imagine going to Disney as an adult, without a child.’ No...... that’s the best way. No kid to water and feed, no one whining in line, no kid who is out past his nap time and just plain screaming. I went there about 35 years ago and I had chance to talk to the staff and learn how thing work. …

Isn’t that why newpapers and new shows have editors? 

There’s a lot happening on that table besides the cat- a third person’s plate, a soda siphon, probably a bottle of port and a decanter, another decanter between the lady and the unseen guest, an overlarge plant, I think that’s a crystal teapot, another decanter, salt and pepper, looks like 3 glasses each, flowers,…

White soy sauce... is this something I should expect to find in an American market? Is it something I have passed thousands of time without noticing?

“...6 large best-quality hamburger buns” That’s not what in the lead picture. Then we should oil it and cover it with sliced tomatoes 1/2" and a teaspoon vinegar..beans...tuna or anchovies...artichoke hearts... then “drizzle with an equal amount (two more tablespoons) oil ...”

Of course the potato absorbs salt and some liquid. It just doesn’t absorb enough to accomplish the miracle that people need after a mistake. The sodium ions are going to try to achieve stasis across all components.

This is a nice, pointless gadget that gives you something to find and then an additional thing to wash. It also probably won’t go through the onion the way you want it to.

I would hope that there were insufficient microbes to change the flavor of a meal. Supposedly we’re not making cheese here.

Once in a while I use a can of cranberry sauce in the stuffing for my turkey. It’s not awful, or off-putting. The stuffing/dressing will be darker than you’re used to, but the mixture of the savory and the sweet is quite nice.  You’re risking about $1.25 if you try it.

He never looked around and noticed that nobody else was wearing clown-plaid suits?     Never?

She has such a crummy blender that it couldn’t liquify a piece of tissue while it was liquifying fruit?  I believe we have evidence of Le Scam.

“...the administration has had months following its electoral victory...” go  back and read the papers between November and January - the previous admin resisted efforts at turnover and stalled at every turn waiting for a definitive vote count” and other stupid stuff. Meanwhile the companies were making a lot of…

“....But simply put, “than” is used to help us compare things...” It helps us compare like things, especially in size, “chair larger than that chair, rock heavier than that rock, etc.” When you compare something that is a different type of object you should use “from”. “This drum is bigger than that drum, and it is…

IIRC - If there is leavening in your house doG will strike down your first-born,.

I think the pots are rinsed, so it would just be water droplets - not dirty.

How big are they? I guess they’d slide off a fork, so they’d have to be stabbed or chop sticks-ed.
