Not blizzard not a hangnail That’s just kicking the can down the road a bit. IME there will be more arguing. Cite: dealt with stubborn men. > [@BippityBoppityBoo](#): > > not a really good invite from Harry to go to the best ever deluxe hunting cabin with 5g. Okay, that was funny. > [@BippityBoppityBoo](#): > > fat rendered away and DISCARDED, preferably poured into used kitty litter Many Southern grandmas just keeled over. > [@SCAdian](#): > > We have four of these (two large,two small): Yeah, no. I’m not plunking two hundred smackeroos on litter boxes. I bring home an appropriate sized cardboard box from work (we go through _zillions_ and 99.9% go into the recycling bin) and use that. Toss as needed. > [@BippityBoppityBoo](#): > > Yes, I know it’s seemingly lots more expensive but that ends up in your favor by encouraging restraint and portion control. Fully precooked bacon may seem expensive There are a few purchases in my life where people (esp. my lovely mother) go, “OMG SO EXPENSIVE!” but when you factor in other costs, it’s … not. Some things are worth the extra cost. > [@nightshadea](#): > > > [@SCAdian](#): > > > > Bacardi 151 and Jolt to make rum & Coke. > > at one point in my misspent youth id of called that breakfast … of CHAMPIONS!! > [@Kitten\_Mitten](#): > > We have 28 cans in the basement and 16 cans in the kitchen cupboard. I feel much better about my soup ~~addiction~~ purchases. > [@Kitten\_Mitten](#): > > **shoe** Hope you were able to get some great sleep so a productive day is had. Sleep? Yes. (I put in earplugs. Holy Moses, nuthin’ wakes me.) Productive? Still TBD. 🙂 > [@Wheelz](#): > > any time any of us is awake, it’s temporary. That was deep, man. > [@rocking\_chair](#): > > Spent some time in the secret room. I would say, “I have questions …?” but I don’t wanna spend time in any secret rooms, m’self, so I will ask nothing. I saw nothing. I heard nothing. I will say nothing. > [@JaneDoe42](#): > > The first raven at the plate ate it all without a care for it’s buddy. … and regretted it shortly thereafter. Wouldn’t wanna be the owner of the car it perched over. > [@JaneDoe42](#): > > shows Bernese Mountain Dogs and has mentioned that she thinks we would be wonderful puppy parents. She has an award winning, super champion female that she breeds once a year and has said that family always gets first pick… Met someone once with a pair of them. Yanno how GG makes normal cats look small? Same, for doggy, but add drool. Not as bad as a St. Bernard (jeebus!) but there’s definitely some 🤤 in addition to enough shed fur daily to knit another cat. Hey, can you spin yarn? If not, you may acquire another hobby with the puppy. > [@Misnomer](#): > > Turns out the show it came from\* ended 3 years before he was born. 😳 I had to explain who The Doors are, not long ago. Jesus wept. > [@Misnomer](#): > > > [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > > > We didn’t have a single order the entire last hour > > Is that as unusual as it sounds to me? In the mid-January doldrums, sadly, not so much. But for most of the year … yeah! > [@Misnomer](#): > > Don’t let the name fool ya: those are not dogs, they are small ponies. Someone came by with a St. Bernard yesterday, and **Backup Manager** was like, “That’s not a dog. That’s a cow.” In the calmest, most matter-of-fact voice you can imagine. > [@Paintcharge](#): > > irst day of working for the museum (still on temp basis) went very well. We got way more done than they thought we would. I think that’s because I kept working while the real employees would start gabbing. Them seeing me work led to more production. I love working with people like you. > [@Paintcharge](#): > > it’ll take me the better part of 2 months to put their shop in order. I thought I was a pack-rat. I couldn’t find a specific tool in there to save my life. “Hey! Your disorganized mess is worse than my disorganized mess!” > [@JaneDoe42](#): > > One of Mom’s stitching friends just lost her stash. Decades of patterns, threads, canvases and all went up in flames along with all of the other things people collect over the years. Jeebus. > [@Sticks\_and\_Scones](#): > > Do you need your cane all the time? Do you use your cane all the time? Because I need more reasons to feel guilty, I worry that people will think that I’m just faking it when I use my cane. I don’t always need it and I normally don’t use it at home unless I’m in lots and lots of pain. But I always use it when I go out… just in case. I think our lovely **Jane** would tell you … sometimes, people need whackin’. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-the-snowed-in-mmp/1012614)._
