6'4" and 5'5" here. Plus, he runs hot and I run cold, so the relative distance from the showerhead makes this a seasonal possibility only - at best - and yes we’d need a platform of some kind. Maybe one of the foldable seats that the shower at my local pool has, but installed near the floor?

Publish the results of a single study at a time, then find a contradictory one and publish that. Tug-of-war keeps the eyeballs coming back!

Good idea!

Good grief, if I couldn’t join stuff alone I’d never join anything. I prefer the anonymity and the freedom to duck out if it’s not to my liking.

I love a list! Now, how do you propose to dispose of any unloved pantry staples without wasting food? Food donations generally seem to have to be in unopened packages.

Where (dare I ask) do we file linguine with clam sauce ?

And in case you’ve ever wondered how lesbians decide when sex is over, it’s apparently when the cat that was hiding under the bed comes out and horks a hairball.

Want to know whether a cup of coffee is good? Drink it black. Where I live, there is no takeout coffee but DD, which is why I get up at 5:30 a.m. to use my French press. So I’m crossing my fingers. I would love to enjoy DD for the coffee as much as the friendly banter and communal bustle.

Wait but food waste? Can you at least purée those mushy veggies to thicken the soup before adding the second batch?

I have questions.
Why was it necessary to order all three dishes in such a short span of time?
Why was the food all the same color?
Why was there a bun involved in that pork blanket?
What became of the leftovers?

I believe you. Since I was diagnosed with hypertension (in my late 40s!) I’ve had to stop buying a whole lotta things. Even ‘reduced sodium’ soups are still pretty egregious.

So in addition to the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, pepper jack cheese, and tater tots, it also calls for ‘Salt.’ Bahahahahahaha

Are we talking alcoholic or non-? because I’ve seen both on shelves recently and I can’t help but think the hard kind might take this cocktail to the next level (and/or put me on the floor).

Yes. And that hair is accurate too, probably, despite the cotton-candy combover.

Yikes. Happy unbirthday, little bugger.

TaxAct has this feature too. I do pay them a fee but only because I’m self-employed and there’s just no getting around it with all the deductions I take. Well worth it, no less so because I can deduct the fee from the following year’s tax liability.

Well I certainly don’t hate you for that, nor myself for wondering why the bejeezus every man in that family, blood relation or no, is a homunculus. What gives??

Oh hell yes I make my son write thank-you notes. First of all, I know my parents care, and their feelings will be hurt if they don’t get written thanks. I extrapolate that assumption to the rest of our small circle. Second, I refuse to let the practice of hand-writing a note and mailing it die on my watch. The world…

#2 is the most compelling reason and the one I will obey. I just got through a horrid two-week cold that hit me right after a transatlantic flight and, lawd, from now on I will do anything to keep cooties off my phone.

I’m the p.i.t.a. who brings food to the airport, whenever I can remember to prep it. I don’t care if it is molested by TSA and piteously squished by the time I get to eat it; lines for/prices and quality of airport food will deepen even the despair of the airport experience.
