I prefer to collect them myself. Had an assistant go out to gather one for me once and next thing you know its all torches and pitchforks and burning windmills.
I attempted to extract an eye from a potato with my thumbnail, and potato jammed itself into my undernail thumb meat, and now my thumb is sore. I did not even end up eating the potato. The eyes were too tenacious, and upon secondary squishing, the potato was a bit too soft.
So they said I would be a better writer if I read more books, but all the ones I found were totally TL;DR and I don't like audiobooks. Does anybody else have this problem? (NEWS FLASH: Here's a real one that I couldn't resist adding...) Our rabbit's favorite imported food from the UK is no longer available, so my wife is upset because she has to order another brand from Japan. So unfair!
Sorry, wasn't intending to be nosy. After thinking about it, I have concluded that I vastly overestimated how much a kg is.
No worries, I was joking. Just some dried foodstuffs, but I packed it in a shoebox, so I think that might be where I went wrong.
We had some more changes at work, which means my schedule changes yet again. They let two people go at one of the other stores so they had to shift other people from store to store to cover the shortfall. Them they hired one new guy- he lasted a little over two weeks. He’s gone already. They have another new hire in training, but I’ll be losing my saturdays off for the foreseeable future.
And the story about Abby Normal is NOT about me. I do not confess. And Ab and Abby are so similar words. And it was dark. And I was in a hurry. And who keeps wrong jars in the right shelf?
If you post it to Liberia and write to to it... "Handle with care. Contains new cellular phones." ...then you don't need to worry about so called relevant authorities.
Or the pack of mince I bought just days before exclaiming in horror at the heaviness of a kg. *Rolls eyes at own stupidity*
Just discovered that the site I've been watching BBT on has messed up the episode order, and IDK where to look for the one I should be seeing. ETA: Just went to the next episode on the list, and that one is right. Problem solved, but I may have to hunt for a wedding episode later on.
Oh! Is that how you use that thing? I've had one since the year I graduated from high school and never knew you were supposed to draw the hook part down to cut the rind.
I remember seeing one of those in one of the kitchen drawers when I was little! I always wondered what it was for!
In grade school we used to bodge something like that by breaking the pocket clip on the clicky ball points we used to have.
Brown sugar, why'd you taste so good (does anyone really believe he was singing about a girl ? There's about the same likelihood of Mr Brownstone being an annoying old man who lived next door to Axl Rose, or Ebeneezer Goode being a party animal the Shamen knew)
Or more pedantically, since the pound is defined in terms of the kilogram, "Since 1 July 1959, the international avoirdupois pound (symbol lb) has been defined as exactly 0.45359237 kg" -- Wikipedia. Similarly, since 1959, the foot has been defined "as equivalent to 0.3048 meters exactly." So. all you good folk in the US who insist we not adopt the metric system: We already have, back in 1959. The government is just hiding that from you by pretending to still use the old units. It's a conspiracy, a fraud more outrageous than the moon landing or the death of Elvis.
