The kids that I set timers for would all be so transfixed by there being a screen on and available that they’d spend the entire timer zoning out instead of accomplishing what it was that they were supposed to do.

They should rig up a system like in city council meetings where you only get a specified amount of time to speak and if you go over you get yelled at/removed.

I’ve actually seen this done before - at an Alton Brown tour show he took live audience questions via Twitter and the people backstage handled the filtering. The approved questions were tossed up on the screen and he handled it from there.

My grandpa (WWII pilot) liked to say that a great landing is when you can reuse the plane.

In all fairness, my friends would go down and put their hands on it long enough to get a suction waffle pattern on their skin and and then show me to enjoy my torment.

My problem came from my mom telling me to stay away from them as a child.  I had long hair and kids were legit getting caught and drowning so my mom’s advice was founded, but darnit my brain took it too far.

Ok, so the only thing in life I am actually scared of to phobic levels is pool drains. I have to find every single one before I will enter a pool. There is a corner of my community pool that I have never been to and never will because there’s a little fucker sitting all smug up on the wall.

I saw Japanese tourists HIKING in heels in Hawaii.  I was impressed that they’d even attempt it, but oh my gosh, that must have been so painful.

I’m raising my nephew - this is a tough place to be in with only four hours’ notice. I had three days and I thought that was short. All the hugs! I wish I had cash to give as well - the finances were really tough until we got his benefits sorted out.

I troubleshooted and fixed my oven by my own damn self!

Just wanna show off what I finished up this week :) The red book panel went to my nephew’s wonderful teacher who did so much to help him learn to read this year and the blue book panel is going up on Etsy!

Is anyone here comfortable talking about poop? ‘cuz I’m totally messed up and need help. Lotsa TMI.

Long story short, for the past few weeks IF I go it’s not normal. A lot looser than it should be but not quite the runs. It’s also rare that I have the urge to go - it’s almost like there’s nothing there? And when I…

As a pedestrian it’s also important to remember that cars have massive A pillars now, which means a really big forward blind spot for drivers. If you can’t make eye contact with the driver because of their car’s A pillar keep a reeeeeeeeeeal good eye on that car and what it’s doing until you can. Chances are the…

If you’ve got a chill HOA it isn’t so bad, but the hard part is you often don’t know what you’re getting until escrow has closed.

My dad saw one of those plates ages (easily 20+ years) ago and it’s still in his regular Dadspeak rotation.  Gets the point across simply.

I’m a graphic designer and came to the conclusion of “probably something to do with copyrights” before even reading the story, lol.

They likely just grabbed an image from Google and thought swapping out the grille counted as the mythical “30% change” necessary to not get sued.

The purchase of my Honda came down to “which color do I dislike the least?” And now, looking at purchasing another next year, I am asking myself the same question.

Honda really needs to fire the people who pick out colors.

I would have burned the house down.

Lol, I always want to ask those people what’s in memory of their loved one...the filth on the rear window?
