OSHA regulations are written in blood (and military regs, for the same reason)

Edit to add: “And it starts when you begin to think of people as things.” (Granny Weatherwax, Carpe Jugulum, Terry Pratchett

Oh please… Sure you get Vegas but you’re stuck with Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and both Dakotas! Plus a shitload of Mormons and desert. Take 'em and welcome. But I suggest you label them all “immigrants” and don’t allow them to vote.

Spicy mayo as a condiment, and looks like clams without the shells

That’s spicy mayo (mayo, Sriracha, lime)

Yeah that’s cray

*palate

It’s the one with “ate” in it, so use it when the mouth is involved.

Pallet is the one made of wooden slats. The ll in the middle is your reminder.

Also, palette has “pale” in it, so it’s the one about color. Bob Ross carries a pale white palette to mix his paints on.

That’s a great idea.

Hah!

Although I could see having snacks to fill out the extra spaces in a laundry-products vending machine by the washers.

Look into volunteering some of your free time. Search for opportunities that put you out among people, do the things parents don’t have time or energy for.

We had our condo re-appraised during the Great Recession to reflect the lower “current market value.” The rate per value remained the same but the tax bill went down. We had to pay the assessor, but iirc we went in with a group of people in our building and he charged a group rate since most of the work was duplicate.

The British series “The Cleaner” and the Australian series “Mr. and Mrs. Murder” illustrate a bit of why it’s expensive and discuss a little about why their characters do that job. They’re comedy/mystery shows, so not completely realistic of course.

That’s a nice fucking website!

By the time a kid is out of car seats, much less sitting in the front seat, they’re old enough to remind the mom to wear hers.

Seatbelts have been a thing since I was a child and I’m old. The crash is on her, but the windshield’s on you.
