Absolutely.  Nosy questions don’t require a polite answer or an answer at all.  Mom was the sort who made up whatever answers tickled her fancy.  After two long pregnancies, she had gotten tired of being asked, “How’s the baby? What? You haven’t had it yet?” that she added a few weeks to my brother’s due date. …

Before you print out stuff, check and see if you can get a used copy of the (probably) textbook they are reading. I often got used copies of textbooks (in better shape than the school’s copies) for my kids in primary and secondary grades. Doesn’t help when the edition used in e-book only of course.

Or velcro tape (when you replace an item you just need new tape for the new item, not the desk).  YMMV

Steam the cabbage instead, then fry in bacon grease quickly.  Yellow turnips also benefit from frying in bacon grease to cook out some of the moisture.  

actually, while it has plenty of calories (about 100 per shot) it doesn’t have much in the way of appreciable carbs. Distilled liquors (not liqueurs) generally have almost all the sugar converted to alcohol. What’s left doesn’t really raise blood sugar, and in some individuals can actually lower it. Of course, the…

Back in the early 80s I used to order take-out hot wings from a Mexican restaurant as “tell the chef its a challenge”.  Clearest sinuses I’ve ever had, but my roommate stopped picking up our order because carrying it back to the apartment the vapors blinded him.  

You MAY be a good candidate for allergy shots. If your allergies are severe enough, it may be worth it. From infancy to my thirties, I went through various allergy medications (Chlor-Trimeton anyone) and suffered along. They got worse over time, till I was somewhat miserable from March through October (Wash DC season)…

Long - we can fix. Short? Not so much.

Or common objects that you have with you. In the US, paper money is very close to 6.25 inches. Hence, folded, 3 1/8. I forget the other dimension.

If you don’t drive, have direct deposit, are unlikely to get carded for alcohol/tobacco, etc, the need for a state issued ID goes way down. Alternatively, I know a few folks who have their drivers license and main credit card with their phone, cash in a butterfly clip in front pocket, and everything else in their…

And, if you add the coffee from a great enough height, no additional agitation required at all. No dirty spoon, no accidental splashes from over-swirling your cup.

Just yesterday, Google notified me, via email, that IFTTT will no longer (as of 31 March 2019) have access to some data in my Google Account since they have not yet complied with new privacy rules Google announced last October.  I assume I got this since I do grant IFTTT access to my Google info for various IFTTT…

Amazing how they recognize the allergic folks and then trap them, isn’t it.  

Yup, this one. I’d order them a little differently, but that’s me.

smoke/CO detector batteries (unless they are the ones with 10 year batteries). And check the dates on the bottom, while many jurisdictions require the detectors to be less than 10 years old, you’d like to know which are 9.5 years old as opposed to 0.5 years.
Check dryer outlet has been cleared out recently. Check that…

Can’t upvote this enough. Stopped by friend’s apartment as they came home. Sat on couch, ignoring cat. Cat crawled into lap and started purring. Friend calls out from other room, “Don’t try to pet Fluffy. She hates strangers and is likely to scratch you badly.” Came out to find cat rolled over in my lap waiting for…

Fermented then distilled.  Same calorie count as the other hard liquors.

Absolutely true. Laundry at our house is a shared task (whoever is handy is conscripted to sort all the laundry, and cycle it through washer, dryer, fold it, hang it, etc. Part of sorting is turning things right side out and CHECKING the POCKETS. The number of women’s clothes that have no pockets, have false pockets…

Shots can work very well, at least in my experience.  However, it’s not a minor process.  After the testing, you generally start a schedule of shots.  At the two practices I have used (moved part way through, over 400 miles, had to start over), it was once a week for 6 months, every two weeks for a year, every three…
