Yes; she’s a baby boomer. 1946 - 1964. Refers to the huge increased birth rate following WWII. 

Absolutely agree with you. For me, MFP bogs down too much with all the ads (admittedly my internet connection can be slow.) And the crowd-sourced information can be inaccurate.

I learned about Chronometer several years ago from an MS, RD that I trust. It’s what he uses in his professional capacity. (Though he doesn’t…

Was there a legit business reason for that or just an over-controlling management?

We had those where I last worked. They don’t work in a low-wall, close-quarters environment. I started using white noise on noise-cancelling headphones for the last few years prior to leaving.

Not being part of the coffee-shop-camping crowd, I was wondering about the lure of free wifi nowadays. Seems like it might once have been a big draw, but I wondered if the awareness security risks and the increased personal options makes it less critical to campers. OTOH, I knew I could be underestimating people’s…

Oh, FFS. I’ve been on these sites for many years and out of the gray in some for just as long. How does one get ungrayed under the current management? I keep asking politely, but also under the current management there is a ridiculously long lag time before the articles show up on my feed. This one as a for instance.

As a woman in category 1, I can attest that there is some crossover into category 2.

I’ve seen a lot of people say that about not leaving WF. I’m having trouble imagining how much hassle it is. I say this from the prospective of having them steal money from me, and that was an actual hassle.

Is it because you have to go to the bank in person? Or is it because of the transition of pending transactions?…

I guess that’s why this confusion happened. The first must have originally said $4.

I agree. I am driving my second Camry, because the are reliable and long-lived. I’m considering whether it’s time to replace it, but I just cannot with those grills. Even downgrading to a Corolla or upgrading to an Avalon (or even a Lexus) isn’t an option, because they also have those hideous grills. (Designed to…

Junior high (1960s) with a manual typewriter and, initially, charts up at the front of the room. It took me a long while several years ago to stop automatically double spacing after a period.

Yes. Not only does the myth ignore tip reporting rules, but it seems to equate not getting caught committing tax evasion with the income being non-taxable. No people. Committing a crime and getting away with it does not somehow render the act legal.

I wondered, too and looked it up. Apparently, it speeds up the dissolving and isn’t an imperative. I typically use superfine sugar anyway, so it dissolves pretty readily.

I think the post-WW2 tract house in So Cal that I grew up in had a loquat tree planted by the builder. I don’t think my parents had any idea what it was, so we always ignored the fruit. My mother wasn’t a canner, so I guess that might be why, but still seems a shame. I’ll have to locate some at a farmer’s market and…

Thanks! That also looks like a perfect solution the next time I make a Detroit-style pizza.

Hahaha. I had my daughter convinced that I had super powers, because I also knew the patterns of her behavior. Once she tried to convince me that she was sick and threw up. I knew she didn’t, because she was incapable of stepping into the bathroom without leaving the bath mat in a crumpled heap and it was in pristine…

I agree. It’s a really flawed system that’s made worse by customers who ask questions that have been repeatedly asked and answered. I answered only questions that I could give accurate information about. However, after getting the 5th question in as many months asking if a mason jar lid will fit a particular volume…

Yep. The last year before I retired, I negotiated a half-time schedule. As a director with a staff in addition to many other responsibilities, part of that negotiation was to have many of my responsibilities handed off. (I was going to be retiring, and having peers learn those responsibilities while I was still there…

Haha. I was the same in my algebra and geometry classes. Top of the class because I could do the problems, but I had no idea what I was doing. The 14 year old brain is not yet fully developed. It all became much more clear as an adult.

I’m with you. I think lemon is a newer combo. And I prefer the almond. So, I’m definitely going to try this recipe as written. If need be, I can add some almond extract to a second batch.
