If we can stop things ending up in the Gulf, instead of polluting it -
Stop fertilizer runoff and disappear oil rigs, move all hotels back from the beach by a quarter mile or so.
If that option is unavailable, Ron Desantis, Rick Scott, Ashley Moody and Beth Bondi, Citizens United, and the gerrymandered voting district maps.
I use plastic produce bags to cover rising sourdough.
Always use the peels of the pineapple to make tepache!
Yes, the height of black and white men averages close to 5’10" here, and the height of black and white women around 5’5" I think, we do just have a lot of everyone here, except apparently not Dutch?
My husband & I are both about 5’9" and he says he feels dead average because sometimes he goes out and is taller than all the guys he passes, and sometimes goes out and is shorter than all the guys he passes, but usually doesn’t notice, I feel tall because I don’t notice if all the women I pass are shorter than me but really notice if many are taller than me.
What a nice tail your cock has!
I had a Scottish boyfriend, he visited me in Florida in the summer and I remember him saying "mind you, the heat does make ya horny, don’t it?’ (about himself) so I guess I buy it.
No, political wife is not what I signed up for. Unless I was too afraid to leave, in which case I would try to secretly work against him. Which is also terrifying but at least useful.
I am actually living less than a mile from where I was born, like some middle ages peasant who never traveled, but have traveled. I’d like to have been born here, but in the timeline where Al Gore waited for the ballots to be counted and won.
I like to have a drink but hard NO to doing it before anything important. I strongly prefer to feel clear headed for those moments.
I’ve not been to many, but have had people repeatedly tell me our wedding was the best they’d ever been to, so I guess ours was the best by some measure. I have an enormous family, husband and I got together as adults so both had kids too, some grown, we ended up with 50 people only inviting immediate family (brothers, sisters, their partners and kids, our parents, our kids) the weather cooperated, we had open bar and only one person got too drunk, DJ not great but not bad, so much dancing, it was nothing super fancy nor bare bones, I would say nice enough so everyone could feel comfortable and not more.
If anyone is wondering, the things I think made it good - open bar, kids running around, good music, enough structure but not too much (a cocktail hour then ceremony then reception with music & a first dance, then food, then more partying, food left out for people to get more if they want, no assigned seating, tables pushed to edges so big dance floor and again I think open bar is a non negotiable, make sure there are plenty of non alcoholic options at the bar too)
I guess I’d die. It’s never either of those where I live. And crops would fail either way.
In terms of personal comfort:
If the only triple digit temp was only ever exactly 100, then I guess triple digits.
If it can be Celsius, 9 is so cold but not kill you cold, I would be sad but not dead.
You know what’s funny? I have experienced the inverse of this. I run pretty cool so always take warm or hot showers, but one time there was a cold snap and my water heater broke. We had well water so it was very cold, and down here we do not really have heaters designed to handle actual cold so the house was freezing too. So I had what was probably the most uncomfortable shower of my entire life, shivering and teeth chattering so fucking cold, thought I would die, but when I got out? The air felt almost warm, it was so pleasant not just because it was over, but because it somehow blunted the feeling of cold. I don’t understand how chilling my core somehow warmed me (it usually works the other way) but it sure did.
At night here I do shower hot, I think the theory is that then when you lay down, your body temperature is dropping and that makes it easier to fall asleep.
You know, when I got my current job, the people in my department said"we tried to find your Facebook but couldn’t" and I said 'yeah that’s because I don’t have one."
13 years later, still don’t.
Though honestly even our work teams chat would probably be too spicy for these motherfuckers. They just want a pretext to keep out anybody. Like some law impossible to follow, that they can selectively enforce.
Of songs that other people like?
I hate Dust in the Wind, and House of the Rising Sun, and I never need to hear Stairway to Heaven again, I have used up my quota.
If I had them, I’d process the strawberries by generously cutting the tops off (don’t throw them away!) then putting them on a parchment lined sheet pan to freeze, then once frozen, into freezer safe bags. With the tops, make kvass. Put them in a pitcher with a lot of sugar and some spices, fill the pitcher with boiled and cooled water. Cover loosely with a towel and stir twice a day until fizzy. I have some in my fridge right now and it’s delicious!
OP, do you have an air conditioned library or a cold springs near you? When I was living without AC I found that getting really cold at some point in the day chilled me off for quite a few hours, made the rest of the day feel better. I had a friend who would get in a cool shower then not dry off just lay in the wind from a fan.
Huh? I sit outside, with a fan on, in up to 35/95F in the shade. And it’s humid here. Outside hot does not feel as bad as inside hot, and you do learn to be still and cool enough. It is not weather to go running, but sitting, in the shade, with a fan? No problem.
Not disagreeing but none of my kids are at all fat and one is so hot-natured, it’s not always just insulation. One of their cousins, too, she was just never cold and always hot.
I did always joke with my ex that I was built spare because I am from the hot part of the world, and he was padded because he was from Michigan.
The wasted space bothers me more. If I am bringing milk for my own coffee, I decant it into a small container. If bringing lunch that needs refrigerated, I take it out of the insulated lunch bag before putting it in the refrigerator! I see huge insulated lunch bags in there, are you literally insulating it against refrigeration, and do you need to take up a cubic foot for your sandwich and apple?
Series-es that I found so much better than expected:
Preacher
Scavengers Reign
Warrior
Movie I found much better than expected:
Wicked Little Letters
Oh this is going to sound like my mind is in the gutter, but there have been a couple of NSFW collaborations between smut posters who met on the NSFW then made some posts together. I find that just delightful.
