I wash the towels every couple of weeks. I have no idea why someone would use one just once or twice. When you’re drying yourself, you’re clean.
Well, dont skin flakes come off as you’re drying and onto the towel?
I mean, you leave skin all over your house. Right as you step out of the bath you’re certainly leaving the least skin of the day. Well, assuming you bathed well.
The house I lived in before this one had a proper root cellar. I loved it, used it, and miss it. – I wouldn’t describe it as “less crude”; it was properly designed to do what it did. That does include having a dirt floor – but it also had, in addition to shelving some of which hung from the ceiling for a different temperature range, an outside double door with air space between for insulation (1800’s house), that could be opened for ventilation when the weather suited or to load something like a lot of large bags of potatoes; as well as a door into the concrete-floored cellar which had stairs up to the kitchen, so you didn’t have to go outside to get into the root cellar.
The current house has what might almost be considered a root cellar as the entire cellar, except for two things: one, the central heating steam boiler is in there, so it runs too warm; and two, the mice, and sometimes other critters, can get in. The second can be dealt with by closed cabinets, but there’s no really fixing the first; at least, not without major surgery on the house (the heating ducts run all over the ceiling in various directions, so it wouldn’t work just to wall off a corner.)
– my Lightning connector is for an iPad. I don’t know whether it’s the same one as for an iPhone, I don’t have one of those.
– I dithered between “thrice” and “four or more times” but decided the latter’s probably more accurate. In any case I don’t count – it’s more ‘it’s time to do laundry, is it about time to do the towels and will they fit in today’s load or had they better wait for the next round?’
I’m a man, yes I am
And I can’t help
But love you so, no no
I felt the need to comment on that question because now I have that song stuck in my head.
I did decide to liven up the lying poll with two bailout options (plus the paradoxical one for those in the mood for some mischief), but I can imagine lying if in a relationship of convenience or to avoid the wrath of an idiot supervisor or something. Anyone care to elaborate, even if you didn’t choose those (but would have in the past or have known someone who was in such circumstances).
I used to lie at work all the time - well, I was extremely “tactful,” anyway - but now that I’m retired, I don’t have to sugarcoat reality for anyone anymore.
For the cables, Mr. Legend has been a computer engineer and something of a hoarder since the mid-70’s, so we have almost every type of cable on earth (and a MITS Altair 8800b) in the office and garage. We don’t have all the Apple ones, though, just ones for iPhones.
Except for a handful of pistachios.
The old nineteenth century farmhouse my mother grew up in had a root celler. It smelled funny. It was part of the main, crude celler. I don’t recall whether my grandfather ever used it - probably not, as he had a hard time taking care of himself after his wife died.
I also have a bunch of composite cables - the red, green, and blue ones that were used before HDMI became ubiquitice.
There is a Buc-ees opening down the highway from us, from the news stories and the chatter on the town facebook page, you’d think Jesus Christ himself was coming to hand out hundred dollar bills. Otherwise, I’m happy with the independant corner store in town. I’d rather give a local my money than send it off to some corporation.

Composite cables were the yellow RCA ones, along with red and white for the audio. I know because I always got them confused, too.
I always get the names reversed, like purple and orange, and washing machine and dishwasher.
I blame the brain damage.
How DARE you make me choose between blue cheese and parmesan! Outrageous. Both are wonderful cheeses.
I’ve been on some big planes but never, IIRC, a 747 or other four-engine plane.
Peanuts are clearly the best, followed by cashews, then pecans. It is known.
My life has been threatened, but no one’s ever actually tried to kill me. Knock on wood.
Ryan Reynolds is my top Ryan, for the Deadpool movies, his charm and his snarky public image. Ryan Gosling was good in Blade Runner 2049 and La La Land, but meh in First Man. Ryan Phillipe I could take or leave.
At home in cold weather, I’m usually in slippers. In warm weather, sandals or barefoot, most often.
Our house in the mid-Nineties was an old one which had a root cellar with a dirt floor. It was dark and a little spooky, and I always worried a little about breathing the dusty air down there.
I hate lying, and avoid it like the plague. Even white lies make me uneasy. I really do strive to tell the truth all the time.
Yeah, ugh, all of the named candidates would be terrible Presidents. With any of them in the White House, I really would fear for American democracy. I would pick, if I had to, a South Carolina friend who’s a gun nut and mild MAGAhead but still not a bad human being, all in all. He means well and isn’t mean-spirited, and he’s smart enough and level-headed enough to be a decent President, if it came to that.
Do they bristle at bad accents in Bristol?
They’re all really the same cable with different labels. e.g, you could use 3 composite cables for component video YCbCr, or 2 of 3 component video cable for LR audio.
This.
If anyone’s ever tried to kill me, they were unsuccessful.
Slippers always, indoors.
True, but it would get confusing looking at them later, even when you’re the one that did it.
I know what Sheetz is, though I think the closest one is several hours’ drive from me. Given that that one’s on the list, I could take a wild guess as to what sort of place the others are, but don’t recognize the names. Didn’t vote, as there doesn’t appear to be a choice for ‘I only know what one/some of those are, have never been to others and so have no preference.’
What happened to smoked gouda? To pepperjack?
I did vote on those choices, as on most of them I do have a preference under most circumstances though it may vary depending on what I’m doing with the cheese; but did so under the presumption that we’re talking about plain Monterey Jack; although in practice I eat a whole lot more pepperjack than I do feta, if only because, while really good feta is available around here, I can’t afford it very often.
Yeah, I’ve had to use 1 1/2 RCA LR audio cables for component video when I was short a cable, and I labeled the channels using sticky labels so I knew what was what later. Not ideal but it worked.
The one that really gets me is an orange coaxial audio cable, which is completely different from any other “RCA” cable, yet uses the same connector.
Making the “i” disappear is the entire point of Buddhism.
I voted for Swiss, but I can only buy it in Switzerland if it’s labeled as Emmentaler.
And cheddar definitely has a large range. Montgomery is my favorite, but I won’t say no to Tillamook.
I actually know somebody from Gouda.
How many pockets I’m carrying things in depends on the time of year. In winter, I’m wearing more layers, so I have more pockets, so things get spread around – plus which, I’m more likely to have gloves, which need a pocket or two when I take them off indoors.
So the answer is more “most of them” than a specific number. (I don’t usually have things in my hip pockets; or in breast pockets if I have any of those. If I’m out in a field, though, there may be tools in my hip pockets; so even that is relative.)
