I like the idea of the wooden spoon in the dishwasher because I know for sure that all the germies and stuff are gone. A wooden spoon just seems like it would be harder to get really clean.
I would not wash wooden handled knives in the dishwasher because it can loosen them up/warp them.
The ‘no U-turn’ sign.
Re wooden spoons (or spatulas/turners, or whatever) in the dishwasher, as Ms. Neville’s husband says, it’s not recommended, because it will ruin them. They will discolor, they will warp, the nice polish will be damaged and the wood will get “furry,” and in general, after four dozen washings or so, the utensil will be rendered non-usable.
At which time, I go to Bed Bath & Beyond and get a new wooden spoon for a dollar.
I have very good wooden utensils that do not go into the dishwasher (a hardwood-handled chef’s knife, for example, or a set of handmade chopsticks and dipping bowls), because ruining and replacing them would be expensive (my chef’s knife cost almost $150). The cheap spoons and their like? For a buck each? In the dishwasher they go.
So that’s definitely an instruction that gets ignored.
I bet you also drive heavy machinery with your butt cheeks.
You mean you don’t? 
Come drive in Vermont. The lines mean nothing, legally speaking. People like to say “there’s no passing law” in Vermont, which is almost true. The yellow lines are just suggestions, and it is perfectly legal to pass on a double solid yellow line, but there are no pass zones, but they are always indicated by a sign that says either “No Passing” “No Passing Zone” or something similar.
The reasons are because we have lots of slow-moving farm equipment, and winding roads that might not have a dashed-yellow line for miles and miles, and yes, that tractor might have to go that whole way.
Speed signs -I look at them as more speed suggestions than actual Limits. Like most of the other drivers in CA.
I love this! I can’t wait to see it on an actual garment. “100 percent silk. Hand wash, press with sleeping cat.”
Heavens, no!
I drive with other peoples’ butt cheeks.
Dispose of empty carton carefully.
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Into the green wheelie bin it goes
If I don’t wash twice, my hair is much duller and my head itches during the day.
Please, carry on…
Then why are there ever dashed yellow lines (which there are)?
It’s all just suggestions (unless there’s a sign), telling you when it’s safe or not safe to pass.
I think passing on a hill, near a railroad crossing, intersection, or bridge might be illegal. Let me find the relevant law.
Bammo. If you don’t want to read all of it it:
Nothing about the yellow lines, just what I mentioned (hills, intersections, etc…)
There’s also this add on which basically allows them to declare certain areas no passing zones even if it’s not a hill or whatever, but it has to be indicated by a sign.
O.K.
AHHHHHH!
A friend of mine passed out after drinking a rum & coke with her Darvon and it was 15 hours before we could wake her. Scary stuff, mixing medication and booze. We used to call it a “Karen Ann Quinlan cocktail.”
AHHHHHH!
Wait…15 hours!!! That would be “scary stuff,” to me!! You didn’t take her to the ER when you couldn’t wake her up?! Guys with long-lasting erections are supposed to get help quicker than that!
Also, I’m talking about cold medicine or .25 Xanax before bed.
I’d be more careful with rhe cold medication, at least if it has acetaminophen. That stuff is harsh on the liver already, and taking it with booze makes it worse.
On the other hand, I’ve also heard doctors and health professionals say that the whole “acetaminophen and alcohol” thing is a little overblown. So who the Hell knows anymore…
Still, better safe than sorry, right? I mean, saying “nothing bad’s happened yet!” is like saying you don’t need to wear a seatbelt because you haven’t had an accident yet.
I didn’t say that, did I?
Here’s the scary part: She worked in a hospital! She was taking the medication because she’d broken her nose and her arm in a car wreck driving home drunk from a party at a doctor’s house.
You said, “It was 15 hours before we could wake her,” and it seemed like weird phrasing if you had taken her to the hospital where someone else would take over her care and not the “we” which I assumed was you and your friends. Man, I hope THAT makes sense!
I was ambiguous. Sorry about that. I was shortening the story. We didn’t take her in right away because we figured she was just tired. In fact, it was hours before I even found out there was alcohol in her drink. I had told her she couldn’t have any, so she went to one of the other guys and asked for a rum & coke. He didn’t know what meds she was on, so he made her a strong one, using 151 rum. He finally came clean when we she’d been crashed for hours. I was SERIOUSLY pissed at him.
It can? What do you mean by ‘eject?’
Now I’m paranoid.
