The version of that in my house is “where did the teen put the dog’s leash?”
Definitely not hanging on the coat hook by the front door, it’s on the little shelf in the bathroom of course!

My kid lives in Siddall Hall and sent me these yesterday. First is what was put up by the school, second is the students’ alteration of the administrations’ cowardice.

The salt! The nitrates! So so gross.

It might have been a milk-based gravy but we aren’t southern and there were no biscuits. I’ll have to ask my cousin (one of the grandkids/victims)

Haha. This was an original inspiration I believe. He never cooked but had to make a meal, last minute, for the grandkids. He cooked the hotdogs in water, then proceeded to make gravy from the, erm, broth? He felt all meats needed gravy. Everyone else was equally amused and disgusted.

An elderly relative once made hotdog gravy for his grandkids. (Much to the amusement of grandma, and just about everyone else)

If you have a “quesadilla maker” in the back, why not just use that on my order?!? We were there for tortillas and cheese, not problem solving, so she made two taco-sized ones for my kid because the large was just not allowed.

I had the most baffling chipotle interaction. Me: quesadilla pls.
Them: you can only order that online for pickup.
Me: ?? Are you out of something?
Them: no, the quesadilla maker is only for online orders.
Me:???
Them: <shrug> I don’t make the rules
Me: (or the quesadillas)

The Trail of Tears was named for the tears of joy when the Cherokee got to move to Oklahoma.
Ethnic cleansing leaves you really clean! It’s right there in the name.

Say what you will about Pol Pot, but he really reduced the ranks of middle management.

I never thought I’d have to know about trump-themed grocery store/night club that will make your 14-yo use a urinal with a woman’s* face on it.
*you know which one

I sincerely doubt they were horny texts. Rape threats for sure.
Which I guess probably makes these creeps horny.

Is there available office space for all of these people? And relocation allowances for the out of state/region remote workers? (I know the point is to get them to quit)

This conversation is the only reason I know if it’s existence! I’m excited to read it after reacquainting myself with the first

The timing of the release of that book and the long delay of the series has been one of the (very small) heartbreaks of my life. Reread is long overdue.

Hey Nome, my bird-loving teen was feeling pretty bad about *all this*.
I showed them this thread and it worked wonders to pull them back to the light. Thank you.

My kids’ school had a scheduled in-service day today so they didn’t get the emotional high of a true snow day. Haha

Am I hallucinating or wasn’t there 3 days of discourse during the invite days that rice cookers are the downfall of civilization? Using one makes you evil?
(I’m cool with evil if it means my rice is perfect every time)

I recently acquired the one that plays twinkle-twinkle when your rice is done. I get perfect rice and a banging soundtrack with the push of a button.

This is exactly right.
Also what kind of complaining 20yo isn’t expecting unsolicited advice from the old?
my teen wanted to try the burrito hack (where bros buy chipotle, disassemble & cook it to make a bigger, better burrito). As an old, I can’t let him pretend it’s cheaper.
The cycle endures.

I was so happy when my kid’s HS added and requires a financial literacy class. They covered the ec of home ec (not the cooking and sewing, sadly) as well as loans, banking, mortgages, etc.
