Yes, it’s because you put them directly on the countertop, which sucked too much of the heat away from the pan too quickly. Depends on your material but granite is very cold, wood is very absorbent and can stain, and laminate can scorch and melt. You should never take anything out of the oven and put it directly on…

Oh my god, shingles?!!?!? I’ve never had it but my mother’s boyfriend did and she said she’s never been more worried about him. He would just sit and sigh/moan in pain. He got it on his head and it was inching toward his eyes so they were very concerned.  Glad you got drugs too.  Which reminds me, it’s almost 12…

Always look to Mr. Rogers:

This is way more appropriate for me this week than the normal “accomplishment” thread that is often posted.

Nothing. I have accomplished absolutely nothing this week other than wasting all my money on cold meds that aren’t working. This is me:

Did he?!?!!?  Thank you for saying so, I always felt so bad for that kid that even his grandpa wouldn’t believe him.  Glad that the old guy apologized.  I’ll have to check out that podcast for sure.

Actually, yeah a lot of people do care, which I find weird. I’ve never understood the whole “this is my job and it’ll be my job until the day I die dammit, and I don’t want to ever have to change or train for any other job ever” idea but there are a lot of people out there who believe that. Ask anyone who works in a…

“. . . my son, my only child”

Yeah, those are the only rankings that matter, I guess.  Not being raped is definitely better than actually being raped.  

Do you seriously not know that there are varying degrees of sexual assault according to the law already? There are varying laws and statutes in place and varying punishments for that law. Everyone knows this except you apparently.  And if you read those laws, they apply to any PERSON committing the crimes, not just…

I don’t get the whole need to repeatedly rank sexual assault, as though it matters? “Well, marrying an underage girl isn’t as bad as kidnapping a girl at a bus stop, and groping a woman at a bar isn’t as bad as groping a woman at work, blah blah blah.” What’s the psychology there? Do they think people don’t know the…

No but I’m sure they put essential oils on the wound so that’s about to the same thing.

Jaguars gonna jaguar.  Obviously this woman has never owned a cat.  She’s lucky she just got gouged with the claws.

I’ve had bonuses dangled in front of me as incentive to work harder as an individual and as a team and even though goals were met (and then some) those bonuses never materialized. The company always had some reason they couldn’t pay, usually tied to the economy, losing some major client, needing to open a new office…

Also, this:

Yeah, cuz I’m sure “Shakopee News” is really hard hitting journalism.

You want to load boxes for however-many-hours with no bathroom breaks?  

Amazon pays more than I make per hour but I wouldn’t work in one of their warehouses for all the tea in China. Have you not read this site’s numerous articles on how awful it is to work there? Lack of bathroom breaks, long lines to leave at the end of the day because they require bag checks and that time is UNPAID,…

And wait until he gets only slightly older and realizes that he didn’t actually have to go through any of that pain and fear. His parents could easily have prevented it if they had gotten over their own egos and put their children’s safety and health first.  He’s going to have to live for the rest of his life knowing…

But that’s not the kind of cashing-in we’re talking about here. He’s talking about book deals and reality TV deals and getting famous. Who do you know who has ever gotten that out of their accusation (lie or truth)?
