Can’t catch a break
Oh no, the police going bankrupt. The horror!
Are you American? If so, know your rights. Most debt cannot be passed down to surviving children. If the amount of debt exceeds how much their estate is worth, the lenders are not entitled to you paying them. They will try to make you pay, don’t do it! Do not give them even one penny or agree to anything, or you will have then “assumed” the debt and now it is yours.
The exceptions are loans where your name is on them (joint or cosigned iirc) or medical debt in certain states with filial responsibility laws.
I think “IBM doily” is my favorite term for these.
I think my sweater is broken. My reindeer’s head looks like it’s melting.
Finally, a worthy subject of the successor to the movie The Birds.
What really gets me is that I would try to support businesses that made quality stuff. They either cheapened it, got bought by a larger company (who then cheapened it) or went out of business. At least with things that aren’t food, secondhand is fine when I can find it.
Make those with decent construction so every cough and sneeze isn’t broadcasted to all of your neighbors with good design so it’s disability friendly, and that is the dream right there.
Neat, TIL about cookie presses. Sorry it broke on you. That’s just how the cookie crumbles.
When there are lots of seats available, I leave my stuff on the seat next to me. If no one is likely to need it, it is nice for me because it is more comfortable and doesn’t bother people around me. (Unlike, for instance, taking off my shoes and letting the smell of my sweaty feet disturb people around me.)
When it’s starting to be slim pickings, I put my stuff on my lap.
I’ve never had a problem when I asked politely if I could sit in the seat where someone kept their stuff. It’s just nice to give people the benefit of the doubt for something like this.
If someone singled me out for this, I would wonder to myself why they chose to direct it at me. Did my RBF strike again? Was it just random chance? Is this part of a scam? Are they a bigot? If I’m getting a full rant for something small and easy to resolve, I do question how far the person will go, since their reaction seems disproportionate. Are they going to escalate further? How much further? Is this person going to follow me when I get off at my stop?
It was so hard to find something higher than a low rise pant at that time. Frustrating for those of us that wanted our hip bones to be fully covered by our pants. High waisted jeans coming back into fashion was such a relief for me.
What is that? Some tube you put cookie dough in, and you push out cookie forms?
It kind of reminds me of a visual bookmark manager.
Some people will use it to gather recipes. They might even group some, like “Thanksgiving dinner ideas” or “new diet.” When you do this, you can even get a little thumbnail that will make it easier to find later.
It’s not limited to recipes. You can link a lot of stuff, like maybe tutorials on how to build a shelving unit. You could put it in a group called “organizing my garage,” along with other stuff you want to do.
You might not even necessarily use it for links, maybe you have an idea for a costume or a picture you want to draw. You can find picture inspiration. Once you find a picture, it can suggest more you might like.
One can of course achieve this type of thing without Pinterest (I do just fine with my own system) but Pinterest does make it very convenient, especially for people that aren’t as tech savvy.
You ever see in the movies, those teen girls and young women with a cork board full of magazine cutouts? That’s a mood board.
You kind of get an idea for something, like “the ideal vacation” and any time you see something that fits that theme for you, you put it on the mood board. When you’re done, you are able to see your details together in a big picture view.
Pinterest is kind of neat because it gives you the convenience of a digital medium.
Definitely preferable to the cat laying on the keyboard!
But if you make an observation and draw it out for a long time, that automatically makes it funny, right?
I love the way you draw and shade hair.
As someone with allergies, it is fucking infuriating. I go by web searches and whether a drink is physically painful nearly immediately.
