Wait wait wait, for real? I’m 42, how did I not know this?

The real LPT is always in the comments.

That works if the sheet only has elastic on the corners. The last few sets of sheets I have bought have elastic all the way around the edge of the fitted sheet. Does well on the bed but damn they’re impossible to fold.

I’m honestly not sure it has ever occurred to me to treat deodorant like perfume and cycle through scents. But maybe now I’ll try it…

Oh yeah except I pretty much only like lavender scented deodorant so I’ll probably just stick with it.

My dog doesn’t insist on joining me in the bathroom, but one of my cats always does, and another often does. (I have 3.)

Not fair to cats, lol

My husband is this way. I take advantage of it regularly. I used to consider myself tech savvy but I went into the arts and the tech world left me behind. I used to try and muddle through it, but eventually I just stopped trying because I’d be doing everything “right” without success and then my husband would look over my shoulder and suddenly it would work. So now I swallow my pride and ask him sooner.

On Reddit (sorry) a million years ago, someone posted an image or maybe a gif that made it super clear for me and I’ve never had trouble with it since. It basically explained where in the process to turn your wheels. That said, I was an okay parallel parker already but my skills improved after I saw that gif. I’m not finding it on the web though otherwise I’d share it happily.

Strangely enough, I went to high school in a downtown area and often parked on the left side of a one-way street and therefore my parallel skills on the left are better than the right.

All that being said, I find trailer skills to be awe inspiring!

It sounds like this guy was on board, if he wants another. But being on board with the ideal is different than being on board with whatever is actually gonna happen when those kids are in the picture. I’d say the same thing about a lot of things, namely marriage and relationships. A lot of people seem to only dream about all of the “good” parts without being realistic with themselves about the less rosy parts.

True dat

I do have a scale, but a lot of American recipes don’t give the weights, just volumes. As an American myself who likes to bake, I have generally switched to using the scale when my recipe has the measurements.

Awesome, this looks perfect!

Dang it! 😅

This one is probably older than six years, but it also replaced an identical one that also lost its printing over time, hence why I decided to ask here.

Thankfully we have a pretty good handwashing setup for the things we do not put in the dishwasher; I’m just not eager to add to the list.

I had heard this too. We generally like our Oxo stuff, I’ll look into it!

Oh I definitely put them in the dishwasher… there are certainly some things I don’t put in there, like knives and non-stick pans, but if I can put them in there, I do. Maybe that’s my problem. Sigh, another thing to handwash maybe!

Now that you mention it

I’m only 42 but I hope to be brave enough one day to be such a “sweet old lady” who kicks some ass.

I totally read those stats differently, that black people are more likely to be murder suspects (not convicted necessarily but let’s be real) because of systematic racism. White people can’t possibly be murderers, right guys??? But I also am not familiar with the meme background so maybe that’s skewing my reading of it.

Apparently it’s the hose that’s the problem, something about it breaking down or whatnot.

As a Californian, this is how I react to earthquakes.

This is interesting. A popular squirrel deterrent for bird feeders is to put spicy stuff on the seed. I’ve been trying that lately and the squirrels have completely left my bird feeder alone. So there must be something rodents don’t like — unless squirrels are just built different?
