Be patient, this too will pass. Those hours last aeons but the years fly by.
Know that for every person sniffing with disapproval at your kids’ worst behavior there’s three thinking, “Oh yeah, I remember how hard that is” or “I’m so glad that’s not me today!”
Yes, and if you GENTLY press on your eyelids you can make other colors happen.
Also if you stare at a clear sky, NOT AT THE SUN, or at a bluish wall, you may see little swirly things, it’s the white blood cells in your retinas swimming around.

Mythical or not, how creatures or people are portrayed in media often has very little to do with how they actually are. Or especially how one acts towards an individual, such as you. As long as it’s not leading you into doing something dangerous, or withdrawing from reality, your version/interpretation is just as valid as the stories someone else dreamed up.
With that untouched surface, you might be able to get a replacement if you still have the receipt. Depends on the store and if you’re polite about it. (You could probably do it by being rude, but I’d hate you.)
Sink. I’d be wasting all that shower water I’m not actively washing with, or I’d be shivering with the water turned to a trickle. When I brush at the sink, I only need to wet the brush, and turn off the tap until I’m ready to rinse.
Wait to carve, but buy them early. They keep well if intact. This year instead of carving, I cut cardstock face-bits, sort of like a Mr. Potatohead, colored them with markers and stuck them on with doublestick tape. Today they’re plain pumpkins again, for Thanksgiving.
Human milk tastes different. Some say it tastes a little like canteloupe juice. I thought mine made my coffee taste…odd. Never tried it in baking though.
I would bet the trucks and store refrigerators at Walmart are kept as warm as legally possible, to save money on electricity.
But those casinos stank just as bad, because stale cigarette smoke out-ranks cheap food
Well I thought the joke I assumed you were making was a good fit for your point, which I agree with btw. Spellcheck wouldn’t catch “shear” anyway, that’s the cutting one.
The see-through one has ee.
Why “sheer” is also the one you meant, meaning utter or complete, I don’t know.
English.
When I say “day” or “today” I pronounce it fully, but when saying the names in conversation, it’s more like “I’ll see you Tuesdy at noon.”
Judging by reactions, it’s just, maybe SoCal? Or maybe just me.
Wensdy.
Are the rest of you out there really pronouncing the a in the days? Even in sentences? The only time I hear myself do it is if I’m listing them and paying attention. Might just be me though.
Heehee concidered and shear. You literally made me go back and spellcheck your whole comment in case I’d missed more.
But have you ever been downtown in any big city with lots of skyscrapers? The subheader of the question asks about those as well, and since the consensus is that NYC can be very windy because the grid funnels the wind (I’ve experienced it myself) it would be interesting to know if an older circular-walled city origin would cause the modern skyscrapers (planted in old lots) to block the wind more effectively, for instance. Meanwhile, The street grid of old Spanish Los Angeles was deliberately laid out at a 45-degree angle to the cardinal directions to maximize sunlight and wind circulation. This was done in accordance with the Laws of the Indies, a set of planning regulations decreed by the Spanish crown in 1573 for all colonial settlements. This older, angled grid is still visible in the city’s downtown core, where it clashes with the standard north-south-east-west grid introduced after the American takeover.
Pretty sure his students aren’t.
Some, but not most. There’s significant nutrition in the phloem (layer under the skin) which is not removed by peeling. And even the center has nutritional value. It is best to peel them just before using rather than let them sit around once peeled, since the peel protects them.
I peel carrots because to me the peel tastes like dirt. As for that whole poop discussion, I’m pretty sure that guano in the soil is not the worst contaminant on the skin of the carrot. E. coli on vegetables for instance usually comes from the hands of someone who handled it. And many carrots have pesticides on them.
I grant you that the skin probably also contains lots of vitamins, although there’s still plenty in the interior. And giving the carrot a really good scrub would get the skin clean.
But I’ve never been able to scrub away the dirt flavor to my satisfaction. So I peel them with a carrot peeler. The existence of which indicates it’s a common enough behavior not to merit an interrobang.
Though I do love an interrobang, so thanks.

It’s a grocery store, I’d rather be able to smell tomatoes and strawberries and rotisserie chicken and bread
