I have always hated milk and when everyone was gone from my household I stopped buying it. Cannot imagine chugging down a glass of it.
I drink flavored creamer in my coffee but if there is nothing else I will reluctantly resort to a bit of milk or cream and sugar.
I have been known to take my own powdered creamer on long trips just to avoid the need to confront the milk issue.
I used to drink it black but stomach issues surfaced and a bit of creamer seems to satisfy the rumblings so far.
I choose a friendly local pilot who’s well known in town. Armament shouldn’t be necessary.
I’m wondering where that question came from. Is there a back story? I don’t want any of those with me, though.
If I liked my job, was in good health but was retiring just because of age, a 4x salary bump would probably bring me back, at least for a few years.
I know well and can easily sing the first stanza of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” I know I’ve seen the other verses but don’t remember them at all.
I took Algebra and Geometry in high school and struggled with both. Never been a math guy. This shirt and this pretty much speak for me.
Out of all those math-oriented doohickies, I only have a calculator. My dad loves gadgets and had one of the very first Texas Instruments calculators, back in the Seventies - it was the size of a paperback book and set him back several hundred dollars.
I have three sons, and would want any of them to be brave and do the right thing, leading to freedom for many others and an honored place in history, rather than do nothing and live. But of course it would be up to them to decide, and proud as I’d be of their courage and self-sacrifice, it would break my heart to lose any of them.
I shower every morning (more frequently if I get really sweaty) and shampoo my hair every time.
We drink about a gallon of skim cow milk in our house every week. I like it with baked goods like cookies, cake or pie, and of course on cereal. I’ve tried some milk substitutes like soy and don’t care for 'em.
Just as well, because there isn’t one on the ballot this year, at least for either of the two biggest parties (Trump’s been a Floridian since 2020).
The home state of either of the top two people on my party’s ticket makes very little difference to me, although I’d be pleased to have an Ohio Dem on the ticket sometime. But there are probably a fair number of low-information voters for whom it might be motivating.
My phone is my calculator. I’m not sure why that wasn’t an option. There may be some scientific calculator stuck in a box somewhere from when the kids were in high school.
Something else for the milk poll. It would be strange for me. I only use milk in cereal and recipes that require it. It’s been so long since I drank milk I don’t remember it. I must have been very young.
I was in both Apache and Cobra units. I went with the Cobra for its old school flair. Love the Warthog but would prefer more loitering ability
But you knew which candidate I was referring to, didn’t you?
No, I had no idea whatsoever. That’s why I posted as I did. 
I’ve driven past Gary, IN on I-90, but we didn’t stop.
I know the Jackson 5 are from Gary, Indiana, but that’s about it.
Many of you are shampooing too often, Most only need to shampoo once a week. Ymmv.
I have mild lactose intolerance which I have kept under control with probiotics- I can eat cheese, yogurt etc with impunity. But a whole glass of milk? nope.
I have washed my hair daily all my life. I am 66 and my hair is still full and thick. In fact I have to get it trimmed every 8 weeks as it gets too bushy.
I don’t feel clean if I don’t wash my hair every day.
For now that’s my routine.
I often wash my hair separately. I just find it very unpleasant to be soaking wet head to toe. I can shower in like 3 minutes if I ignore my hair, and washing my hair also seems to go quicker when done separately.
Some of the possible reasons, depending on age is changes in milk types and productions. Lots of complaints from my older family members about excessive homogenization and high-temp pasteurization killing any flavor, closely followed by the 80s+ trend to demonize fat and insist on ever-lower percentages of milkfat. To the point that to me as a kid in the 80s, I always felt skim milk was all but imperceptibly different from water anyway.
As an adult, I buy whole milk for my cereal (as a kid, I’d steal some of the adults 1/2 and 1/2 they used for coffee and add some to my skim milked cereal!) - and I’m much happier, even though I have to count the calories.
And of course, if you’re in an area where you can get local dairy products that do a longer but less high-temp pasteurization, the milk is much more flavorful. Generally costs more though.
NOTE - I do not advocate raw milk, even though it’s theoretically the peak of flavor, there are just too many risks and chances for something to go wrong. Your choices are yours however.
Because everyone has a phone and a calculator in it, so that answer is not interesting. I was interested in what pre-phone calculating tools people might still have.
I’ve never lived in Gary and never will, but I have actually spent significant amounts of time there, on purpose. Didn’t see a poll option for that.
I know where IN is but I had to look on a map as to where in IN Gary is in the state; turns out I went thru it in < 6 weeks ago; wasn’t notable enough that I even remembered passing thru, though
Yeah. Skim milk just tastes like bad water to me. But even modern “full fat” doesn’t taste quite right. – it’s only 3.25%. I wonder if we weren’t getting Jersey milk when I was a child, which runs more like 5% (and is also higher in protein); my mother would pour the top off to put in coffee and it still tasted richer. Some of it may indeed be the homogenization and ultra-high temps. Or maybe it was the higher protein. Most milk on the market is from Holsteins because they produce so much of it – but they produce so much of it partly by producing a higher percentage of water.
I don’t think I’ve ever been to Gary, and so voted; but I took a trip driving around the country for a year in the 1970’s, and while I remember some of the places I was clearly, I’m sure I’ve forgotten a lot that I just drove through and maybe made a pit stop at.
I also wonder why on earth @Velocity thinks you’d need air support to go there.
I’m pretty sure Gary has a reputation as a crime ridden “war zone”, so I assume it’s because of that. I have never been there, so I have no idea if that reputation is deserved or not.
I don’t know if it’s deserved or not but I won’t turn down free air support. If for no other reasons, helicopters are cool.
Helicopters can be fun to ride in, but they’re very loud. I don’t want to be followed around by one.
