I commend you for your and your MIL’s patience. As long as you use common sense (I know, that’s hard to come by these days) and keep the grill in a somewhat isolated area away from the house as well as clean out the grill after use, etc., you responsibly cannot catch the house on fire. My wife was like this years…

hates the taste of charcoal

Learning how to make a roux changed my life....for the better.

That was my second question just looking at the photo. How in the hell was she not sent home to change clothes? So beyond unprofessional (next to the inexcusable behavior, or course).

Claire - I love the mug!

I completely understand that people will become panicky blobs of “ohmygeezustheworldsending!” in some situations, but if you can’t calm down enough to answer some simple questions, the 911 operator *CANNOT* get help to you in a timely manor, or possibly at all. People need to realize this, accept it and try to make…

This may be the sad part, but I don’t see this as an insult at all. She stated a true fact. I commend her for tell the boy what place in society he chose by taking the action he did.

I see these people in the world every day. It’s saddening.

Not a holder of a math degree here, but I couldn’t agree more. It’s not hard at all. Just stop and think about it for a moment. That’s all it really takes.

This is the best answer yet. Those that think Common Core is the best way to go, it helps people to understand the basics, but it’s very slow and drawn out. Subconscious mental shortcuts (once your brain is wired to understand the basics) are much faster and just as accurate. Architects don’t use Common Core math…

The list changes between stores, but same here. Plus, I’m an introvert so getting in and out as quick as possible is one of the goals, here.

Tetris scarred me, too. I do all of the same things and cringe watching others load their carts. It hurts my brain.

Hey, Becky was just dumped. She needs someone to talk to. Work is just one of those ‘things’ that gets in the way of the conversation.

This. My local grocers started the self-scan belts for large carts a couple of years ago. My wife gets irritated with me because I organize the cart as we go down the aisles, but when we get to the checkout I have everything bagged up twice as fast as she does, and frozen is with frozen, bread is not crushed under…

Either: A. Lack of discipline/training/common sense/a mentor to teach them, or B. Don’t care, not their groceries.

That sounds very delish. I will give that a try. Thank You!

I was about to say...so simple....almost TOOO simple. It’s a conspiracy. Don’t fall for the trick!

Love it! I hadn’t thought of that, but the extra spice actually sounds great for an especially crappy cold!
