I play dumb, drag out the full manufacturer’s repair manual and ask them to show me what they’re talking about....

Even if you’re not planning on using cloth diapers, go ahead and get a pack. If you have a washing machine, it’s a life-saver when you realize at 2 in the morning that you didn’t have that second box in storage after all. Plus, they’re great multitaskers.

I’ve had a large box of disposable diapers in my pantry for clean-up purposes: e.g.
1 in the glovebox of the car because nothing soaks up a giant spilled drink faster.
When anyone in the house has a stomach bug, they get a cardboard box lined with a garbage bag with a diaper in the bottom in case they can’t get to the…

Lazy way for a week of oatmeal:

So...would this be Leo faced with a woman his own age?

Or clean air! Breathing’s overrated!

My worry is that with the knee issues, he’s had limited mobility and gained weight. While it’s a perfectly understandable thing to happen, you can imagine how that would effect him emotionally.

I usually travel at the speed limit in the right lane unless I need to pass someone. But I still deal with tailgaters on a depressingly regular basis.

The early 1900s is a particularly bad example to hold up when you’re talking about healthy diets. Food contamination and adulteration was rife. It got so bad in the US that they formed the FDA to deal with it.

This is pretty amusing.

I think that’s their point. They don’t like abortion, but think that cutting access leads to all kinds of suffering.

Soooo instead of bread and wine at communion, we could just have burritos and cover both flesh and blood?

There’s a pizza place in my hometown that actually makes an edible whole wheat crust. It can be done.

Did they then try to sell you special peppermint oil? There are a lot of folks who’ve fallen for the essential oil MLM scam and will suggest all kinds of bizarre oil based remedies.

I actually use some herbal remedies, but peppermint oil on your feet?

It’s just a TV show set in the 50's/60's but the reality of good care from midwives is more like what you see in “Call the Midwife” than the half-assed version of care siryouleanblue describes.

Your setup sound like a good one. I’ve got to admit that I ended up getting rid of the very nice stainless and nonstick frying pans that I had cluttering up my cabinets when I realized that I literally hadn’t used them in nearly a decade. :) I usually tell my young relatives that they’ll never regret investing in Lodge

People here in Texas keep complaining about the asshats who get elected, but only about a third of eligible voters turned out for the election in 2014. I do what I can to encourage folks to vote, but so many just don’t take the time.

The original Ecto-1 was a Cadillac too.

It’s funny, but despite her role as the everyperson, I kind of feel like her character is more like Ray than Winston. She seems to be enthusiastic about exploring and engaging with the paranormal world. Plus, not being an academic is an advantage, as Ray said, “You’ve never been out of college! You don’t know what…
