You know its nice to have a beauty mark. Adds interest to the face. Hides lack of symmetry in your over all facial look.
I have one. Alas, its under my hair line behind my right ear.
No one knows its there but me. (Well, maybe my hairdresser knows).
I guess I should count myself lucky, if it was at a pleasing spot on my face it would probably be hairy. -
My middle daughter cooked peas for dinner. She’s off the routine. I think we’ve had an inordinate amount of peas recently. She guffawed when I mentioned it.

What exactly is a “guffaw”?

How did Gilligan’s Island have needles for their bamboo turn table?

Four way tear paper towel is really pissing me off. That 1/4 square is not big enough for anything. Since you’ve got the whole sheet already off, do they really think folks are gonna just not gonna use it all? Dumb.

How many Xrays are dangerous over a period of time…say one day?

My daughter removed some of Bayliss’ talky buttons. She took away “wakey, wakey” because it was driving her insane. Do you think he noticed? He knows where the new buttons and removed ones are. So, now he just barks at the shelf. Occasionally. (Ok, he did it once)

Why is it I have 27 tubes, jars and vials of moisturizing creams and lotions?

The Twin boys of my Son are just passed 3. Identical. They have learned to play like they are each other. Mom puts different shirts on them but they are not above switching them out. They did it at school recently. Once. I think. We really have no way of knowing. Twin 2 has a birthmark on his butt. Not always easy to check that in certain locations. Then you have to remember what shirt you put on who. That’s not necessarily easy, either.

Am I the only person who, repeatedly has not seen any movie that is Oscar nominated? Ever. Til way later.

I shock myself sometimes because I know song lyrics of songs I do not like. How is that remotely possible? Its not like I bought the CD or downloaded it. Of course.
Beauty marks are interesting even if they go unseen. I have a big splotch on the sole of my right foot that’s always been there. As I rarely walk barefoot, one would hardly notice. The only interest from others was my doctor’s question when she asked “what is that from - I got to ask?”
You don’t tear the whole sheet off then tear a 1/4 off the loose sheet. You tear the 1/4th directly off the roll.
They’re the ideal size for wiping up the few drops of water that always spray onto the counter around your sink after you use it. Or the teeny dribble after using the water dispenser in your fridge door.
You probably don’t care about those few drips. I certainly don’t. But wiping them up instantly was EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to my 2nd now happily ex- wife. She went through a couple dozen quarter sheets cooking a meal.
For most interesting, I nominate Cassandra Naud, who has a rather large one under her right eye. If you didn’t know better, you might just think it was a tattoo.
Full many a beauty mark is borne to blush unseen
And waste its sweetness behind the desert ear.
Well, now we all know!
Wait…what?
How you gonna tear 1/4 off, easily?
Maybe I got cheapies. The perforations are just a suggestion.
She used Bounty (or is it Brawny, those two names always confused me) tear-a-square brand.
Easy to grasp the paper on both sides of the perf and tear. it takes 2 hands unless you’ve got a towel holder that has a good grip on the bulk roll.
Damned good thing she liked using the 1/4ths squares. I don’t think I could have afforded buying her 4x the astonishing amount of paper towels she did use.
It wound have been Brawny-they do full sheet, half sheet or quarter sheet perforations. Bounty does only full sheet or half sheet. Brawny calls their tear-a-square. Bounty is select-a-size.
I’m actively looking for non perforated paper towel on Amazon.
It doesn’t seem to be a thing unless we’re talking about the brown craft paper towel.
I’m not that dedicated to it.
Thank you. I recognize both names & terms, even know their respective trade dress. But I could never remember which brand was tear-a-square & which was select-a-size. But you’ve given me a mnemonic: the big hunky dude goes with the little dainty squares. Which works for all of us. Or speaking just for myself I could go closer to home with “ex-wife liked / likes lumberjacks, not me.”
I’m a half-sheet guy myself, of whichever brand interchangeably.
Now let’s dissect double rolls versus mega rolls versus … on various brands of TP.
If I didn’t know better, I would advise her to press charges against her boyfriend.
It does look like a black eye injury.
I hope its not hairy. A bit close to the eye for my comfort.
I applaud her for wearing it with confidence, tho’.
I a half-sheeter too, suits my needs and uses well. I do the ersatz Costco Bounty equivalent because then it only hurts once every 2 years or so when. I buy a bale of rolls. Easy for me since I have a house with two unused bedrooms for storing bales of paper towels, toilet paper, Kleenex, paper plates, whittling away at the supply gradually. Not so handy for a meticulously organized apt.
Said tp is whatever version Costco offers as the Kirkland equivalent of mid quality double ply Charmin. Does not need to be the velour version with pretty scalloped perforations, which my daughter does spring for. Sheesh…sometimes I wonder who raised her.
But can they spare a square, Elaine asks?
I feel you.
My girls buy fancy paper goods. Not me.
Mid-grade is good enough.
“This ain’t the Ritz and you ain’t got a royal butt”, I say too often.
I had a fairly large mole on the back of my neck right at the hairline. If I didn’t tell the hairdresser about it first, they would catch their comb on it. It was flat on top.
I had it removed eventually.
I also had a mole on the side of my nose, right about where you would get a piercing now-a-days. It was just a cute freckle when I was young, but it grew
When my MIL died and we sorted thru her stuff, seeing what would be tossed and what would be kept, I ended up with 11 tubes of triple antibiotic ointment, most partially used and only 1 still in the box. In her last months, she was constantly putting in on a small spot on her face. It wasn’t an infection - just something that shows up on old skin. Maybe if she’d lived another 5 years it might have developed into something.
Eons ago, we had a friend who’d pull 3-4 sheets at a time to dry her hands. And she’d do this multiple times while making dinner. This was in the olden days before the small sheets were invented. I honestly couldn’t understand why she didn’t use a dedicated dish towel. She was a piece of work.
And I’m mightily bugged by stockers in the grocery store who plant their big cart in the middle of the aisle as they reload the shelves. It seems like since Covid, stocking is no longer done after hours. And similarly, the big carts with a dozen bags that the staff use to shop for on-line orders - they always seem to be blocking the items that I need to reach.
I get bugged by people who give kids adult-sized servings of food or beverage, then end up throwing half of it away. Such a waste! My daughter does this far too often. I don’t see the grands every day and even I know how much they’re likely to eat, and if I underestimate, it’s easy to give more.
Guess I’m turning in the a grumpy old woman.
But they harrumph so much more daintily than grumpy old men. It’s just adorable.
I don’t harumph so much as “I don’t get mad, I just get even’ and it’s unlikely that you’ll (not you, the generic you) will see it coming and be able to get out of the way.
