I’ve got one too and it really does seem to help a bit. It probably isn’t a ridiculous difference, but quite often that day or two can be the difference between using something up and throwing out half a head of lettuce. 

My nephew has done it to visit his grandparents across the country. He was 7, but yeah, it’s not all that uncommon and usually goes off without a hitch.

Well, it ended up going pretty quickly, actually. it said 34 minutes when I joined the line but it ended up being a little less. I just let it sit open and hit refresh every couple minutes while I did my actual work.

lol I have over 13,000 people in line in front of me. I’m thinking most stuff will be gone by then.

I bought one jug so I could have it to mix the concentrate in. Now I buy the frozen when I think I’m getting sick or want mimosas, those are the only two times I drink it.

heh, I’ve never seen this episode, but I’ve totally done this. It works really well, it’s basically a mixer/ice combo that doesn’t water down your cocktail..

I believe that. I think the main reason frozen so often tastes like crap is because it’s reconstituted with too much water. I know my mom used to just fill up the pitcher and not measure the water at all and it was usually pretty watery. If I make frozen juice I actually measure the water and it’s pretty much the same…

Lucky. I’m also in NorCal and my neighborhood is having a mosquito festival or something. I got three bites just last night and all the windows were closed. I have no idea how the bastards are getting in.

It depends on where. In San Francisco, for street parking DTP or SFPD needs to issue a ticket and call impound. That happens... Most of the time. I think there is a clause for emergency situations or something, but that is what should happen if you are parked on the street.

You probably have at least one senate seat open in your district, you don’t care about that going to the tea party or some other conservative BS way just because of Bernie? What about local stuff, there’s a lot of that too and in some ways it affects things more than the presidential vote.

I’m as pale as all get out and I love this one too. It’s really so very flattering! It also lasts for freakin’ ever.

Yes. Thank you.

Wet burritos are wonderful... But very much an eat-in experience, at least if you are anywhere near as food-clumsy as I am.

The funny thing is, they are the opposite of dehydrated- they slice up a raw spud and immediately throw it in oil. Other fast food places’ fries are semi-dehydrated and frozen then fried.

I had a friend unfriend an ex and she took it as basically a declaration of war. It was SO bizarre, like this girl actually checks her friends lists to see if certain people are gone if she doesn’t see them post for a while and takes it as some major personal insult. After he unfriended her (it wasn’t malicious, just…

My favorite was when they would ask “Is this ad relevant to you?” and I would click “no” because, well, I don’t have kids and it’s for toys and will never be able to afford a luxury car or whatever and then the very next break they show the exact same ad AGAIN! Why are you asking if it doesn’t really matter ?!?!

Second writer:

That’s so awful. I’ve dealt with that too. The knowing just where the line is so they always have enough deniability. Ugh, It’s almost creepier than just having someone full on grab you- at least you can solidly point that out as wrong and they can’t meal-mouth their way out of it.

I do think you’re right about at least being ready. Sadly even though it isn’t likely it is possible someone will lash out when you confront them this way. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it, just do it with people around, just in case, and be a little ready.

Our society tells girls they should be “nice” and “sweet” pretty much from day one. There isn’t a set point it starts, we all get it from the very beginning. When you (universal you, not you you) tell a toddler boy “don’t hit.” but tell a toddler girl “play nice” you’re doing it. It’s so weirdly woven into everything…
