From last week’s MMP: > [@(Old) Find the Good in the MMP!](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-find-the-good-in-the-mmp/1007008/254): > > How was the sad oatmeal? Sad, but not because of the apple. I normally make oatmeal with approximately 1.25:1 ratio of milk to water. But I didn’t have enough milk, so it was 1:4 milk to water. Still edible, but not my best effort. > [@Misnomer](#): > > He’s now on display next to R2-D2, in the new “Lego Corner”: Holy Lego, Batman! That’s a lotta Lego blocks. Nice work! > [@Misnomer](#): > > Apparently they are [the state food](https://wvtourism.com/state-food-pepperoni-roll/). And like every other state food, there are different variations. Sounds like a road trip is needed. For testing purposes, of course. > [@Wheelz](#): > > They were gone for less than half an hour, and sure enough, that’s when she passed. Seems to happen rather often. My mom took her brother for a coffee and their dad passed while they were both gone. > [@LH75](#): > > This leaves me with four weeks with nothing to sew, so I started a new project to fill in the gaps. Nice of you to pick up another project so you can share more pictures of your wonderful handiwork. > [@FairyChatMom](#): > > I said it was just changed, but she insisted that once you have to depend upon/impose upon others, that’s it. My grandmother had a similar thought. She had always been the person who took care of everybody else and she didn’t want to be the person who had to be helped. I think it’s just how some people were raised, because my other grandmother was quite happy to be waited on. We thought we could have breakfast as the Starbucks down the street, but it didn’t have any seating. Took us a bit, but we finally found one with seating. Downtown Boston is not as empty as San Francisco, but the sidewalks are fairly empty. The CVS even had toothbrushes locked up, which was a first for me. Going to dinner to a place that says they have a business casual dress code. Guess we’ll find out if jeans pass the test, since I had no idea there was a dress code until the person who made the reservation mentioned it today. I’ve yet to see a dress code in a Swiss restaurant, so I wonder if this is more American Hopefully we’ll manage to stay awake through dinner - the 6 hour time change gets tougher every time. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-its-a-brand-new-mmp/1007336)._
