Worst part for me was when the rewards app at the tea shop wouldn’t work.

Could you add a small wireless fan to circulate air and make better use of the heat you have? Sort of a DIY convection?

Still no idea what that means.

There are so many songs that refer to gypsy. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to sing along or not.

Somewhere along the way that became southern engineering. My mom lived in Florida for awhile so it was a good dig at both the locals and the duct tape crowd -though i grew up repairing everything with duct tape and bailing wire. My husband is an engineer - right tool for the job guy. I’m like, "pass me that mallet and a wire hanger.)

I never thought of it as lazy, just kids that gather and maybe cause a little mischief, especially during school breaks.

My family is pretty liberal. Despite that i had a couple of words that i grew up hearing and didn’t realize that they meant until i was an adult. When you know better you do better.
To jew someone down when negotiating a price was one. It was just a word and i didn’t understand it until i thought about spelling it and realized. Yes, I’m dumb.
I work with kids and i often call them squirrels, monkeys, octopus, big dog, etc. i mean it as endearing and didn’t realize that it could be offensive, especially monkey racially.
My grandma worked at a convenience store in very racially mixed, very low income area. She referred to all of the kids as porch monkeys. I thought nothing of it but now realize it can be racially offensive. In her defense, it was a time when kids were sent outside morning to evening and often gathered on the porches of a free homes.

- Comment on What is lunch like in exclusive private schools for rich kids? 3 weeks ago:
Our schools have had that off and on. Seems like they start it and then someone decides it’s against usda so it disappears and then comes back the next year.
- Comment on What is lunch like in exclusive private schools for rich kids? 3 weeks ago:
My kids took tae kwon do with some kids who went to a nice private school - not billionaire money, but known to be very nice. The thing that was really impressive to me was that they had a fruit cart that sat out all day and kids could go get a piece of fruit anytime they wanted. It seems so simple but that idea of stopping to grab a pear between classes blew my mind.

In 120 years the earth will be all new people. That scares my kids. Makes me hopeful.
- Comment on Belfast Books has announced that they are removing all of Stephen King’s books from their website after he posted insensitive and false comments about Charlie Kirk. 1 month ago:
A used book store is refusing to sell books by a very popular author because he made comments about asshole karma? Didn’t Steve already get paid when the books were bought the first time? If there are less used books being sold won’t more people buy new books, which earn him more $?

When she graduates, she will likely look towards others who are closer to her age. Heartbreak sucks. IMO, better to back off on the romance in this situation.

Every new decade is my favorite, but the shoulder and knee issues suck.
Tips from an old person-
When they tell you that you need reading glasses, just go for the contacts.
Podiatrists are real and a $75 orthotic is worth it.
Adult children are awesome, mostly.
Sunscreen is important.

I think it was posted on lemmy a few days ago. I’ll look for it.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
I used to get that a lot. I was constantly carded. Once they wouldn’t sell to me, even with my ID, because I had the babysitter with me and they thought we were both underage trying to buy alcohol. When I was about 25 I started adding10 years to my age when people asked, just to see the reaction.

I use an android phone and an iPad. iPad is all fun - movies, online shopping, duolingo, things when I’m not in a hurry and I don’t care how it looks or how long I have to look for something.

I love cilantro. It doesn’t taste soapy to me.

Why does ‘sweet Thai chili’ sauce in most restaurants taste like dishwater?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Do you think their spouses, children, parents, neighbors know what they do? Do they just say “it’s classified” and pretend that they have a real job?
