I thought so. I didn’t want to offend this person since she put in a lot of effort to make it and was so happy she did it.

I know someone who makes their own fruit “cellos”, but it always has an faint aftertaste of isopropyl alcohol. I find that as a bummer with the lovely forward taste of the fruit. Any recommendations of how to remove that aftertaste?

Small Claims Court means:

Just curious: what is the average lead time needed to order a new car?

This will not work if you have a professor who:

Ugh. What annoys me the most about Common Core is that there are usually more than one way to get to the answer. Just like real life. Or there are no [good] answers (like real life). Besides the fact that their process makes no sense to me (and I also took a s***ton of math courses).

No luck with resurrecting a hybrid post-flood (it was under four feet of water). I heard from my insurance agent that some of the Priuses went up in flames. [Not Harvey-related, happened a few years ago, different circumstances.]

I’m in the “it’s not your problem” camp. Unless this person is actively doing something to make CC uncomfortable. Then CC should take it up with their supervisor. If this is your supervisor, see if there is someone above or lateral you can talk to. (CC is unclear on those points.)

I got this idea from a friend who entertains: a basket full of hand towels underneath the bathroom sink. This way, there are always a fresh one when needed during the party. It doesn’t need to be expensive: they just have to be clean towels and not ragged.

Even if you have TSA Pre-Check/Global Entry, they randomly pick people for additional screening. So, no one will have an easy time of this. Be aware that ANY electronic device will set them off if you are one of the lucky-lotto-winner to be searched.

During the week, Wallaby plain whole milk yogurt + fresh berries (in season)/frozen blueberries + bananas + nuts/granola + cinnamon. Dump together. Mix. Eat.

Bottom rack because heat rises (that’s my logic).

Or do it sangria style as the weather turns warmer with berries, slice of orange, etc. That was what one hotel in London did when I was there one summer.

I love my pizza stone: works wonders on frozen/left over pizzas, and as a bonus, it holds the heat in the oven if you’re baking. It does more than one thing and doesn’t take up counter space.

Eons ago, I went to an Amway sales pitch because a friend begged me so I could be used as the bad cop of leaving early/not buying. I was curious on the pitch, so I went. Didn’t buy anything, wasted sometime, and I got to be the bad person who said, “No way. Not interested. Let’s go.”

This particular worker had demonstrated, over a long period of time, the inability to perform the tasks necessary for the job, under several people. So, lack of trust is the least of the problem.

Sometimes, it’s because the person working for you isn’t suited for the job. Example:

Very useful. Thank you! Although, I must say the list did start to remind me of being back in chemistry class... and Wired magazine when they went through the components of Cool Whip. (I never touched Cool Whip again afterwards.)

And for descaling coffee/espresso machines. Very effective.

Is there any way to modify the dragon lunge? I have prior knee injuries that prevents me from doing deep lunges. Running is OK; lateral lunges, not OK.
