I toss my sponges (I usually have two in use at any given time) in the dishwasher every time I run it. I don’t see how I’m wasting valuable time, water or cleaning supplies to do that.

I believe it goes back to why we crawled out of the sea in the first place.

I have a mop similar to the one on sale, and it’s great for wood floors. I wet the pad and fill the reservoir with Bona and it’s incredibly easy and fast. I toss the pads in the wash afterward.

I literally dump two cups water, one cup short grain white rice into a one-quart Creuset pot, stir, heat to boil, turn down the heat, put the lid on, and ignore it for 20-25 minutes. No butter, salt, or oil. Perfect rice every time. That’s how my mom learned to cook it from her friend who was Japanese. 

Yes and no. A crowned ruler who is a woman would not necessarily lose control over her lands. This is often spelled out in the marriage contract. It was also common in marriage contracts among the nobility that a woman’s inheritance could remain in her control. This was a big part of the hostilities between Eleanor of…

There’s a difference between being granted a title and receiving a coronation.

A queen has historically been considered a consort (thanks, Patriarchy), so when she receives the title as the wife of the king, she’s basically given certain authority, but the king is still the ruler and running the show.

It’s basically people who believe in the Bible, OT and NT—but really love the abusive, punishing parts of the OT—and try to hold it up as the correct and only way to believe. It’s supposed to mean the tradition established by God with the Jews and transferred to Christians.

That’s not what she said:

Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover.

You’re assuming she does one wedding a week. You’re making an assumption with basis or knowledge.

She did offer to write off the $125. The couple decided they’d rather be assholes and destroy her.

I would think that would depend on the jurisdiction. People have been arrested for dickie dunkin’ in their homes where it could be seen by people on the street or in their homes.

I can see this going either way, because fair rides are usually not as big or complicated as park rides. You don’t have giant roller coasters or hanging rollercoasters. Rides at a fair simply cannot going be as physically large as park rides.

Not a lawyer. Over time, I’ve found: It’s jurisdiction; it’s the law; it’s the cops. All three play a part. Who the cops believe also plays a part.

In front of others, into a napkin, discreetly. No one wants to see your saliva-coated gum. Also, nobody wants to see it in the office garbage either. And the janitors will hate you.

Get ensorcelled locks for all doors and windows. It will cost you at least 15 gold, but it will be a good long-term investment.

Why is she still invited? You don’t invite her. Your boyfriend doesn’t invite her. Your roommate doesn’t invite her. If she shows up, tell her you’re bummed—and it will have to be you or your roommate, because your boyfriend can’t seem to handle it—but you have plans, then shut the door.

I would, but I’m old and can more easily get away with things like that. Just do it in a private way. Call up your probable thief of a gift-giver--or text--and let them know you tried to use the card and it didn’t work. Ask politely if they have a receipt you could get to take to the store and prove the card’s…

You say, “That’s great, but I’ve got to get this report in/call Dave/go see Mary/whatever. We’ll talk later.” Then immediately turn away and do whatever you need to do. If Chatty Cathy comes up to your desk, rather than speaking, you can stick up the “just one minute” finger (yeah, I know the middle is more tempting),…
