Well....it is much nicer not to look at toilet water, or drops on the rim, so seat AND lid down is "best practice". Not to mention, when you flush with the lid open, you're spreading plumes of bacteria and fecal matter into the air, which then settle on your toothbrush, etc. |

My time I spent cleaning the shitters in college taught me men are worse overall with bathroom cleanliness. I mean, smearing their crap and snot on the walls (farmer blows), peeing all around the toilets and urinals (but not in). It was like cleaning up after monkeys at the zoo, really. |

I knew a guy that had to wade up to his neck in sewage because nobody else would do it. He was reluctant to do the job but it had to be done and the guy that should have done it refused. The great thing about wading up to your neck in shit, is that after that, cleaning up after monkeys at the zoo is a real snap. |

It has now been about 15 years since her mother died and she came down to clean out the house. He mother was a bit of a back rate. As far as I know, rather than clearing the place out and getting rid of the crap she has managed to fill it with even more crap. A lot of it is old newspapers, books and magazines, none of which will ever be read again. One time she came down because there was some sort of assessor coming to see the house and she had to clear out a passage down the hall for the guy. A fire would save her a lot of work. |

I get a lot of my produce from Food Basics, a discount grocery store with a name for good produce. They sell a lot of misshapen peppers. They may not be perfectly symmetrical. They may have pointed ends instead of nice round ones. You can't count on seeding and slicing them easily by cutting into them flattening them and slicing off the ribs, but they still taste the same. They cost about half as much. |

It was a working minimum security county prison. When I say working, I mean the inmates maintained gardens and engaged in animal husbandry. It was a self-sustaining county prison. They raised, picked, and slaughtered the food they ate. And also prepared and served it. A snippet about Shelby Farms: "Penal farm: From 1929 until 1964 Shelby Farms was used as a penal farm, in which the prisoners of the Shelby County Corrections Center were involved in agricultural labor to provide food for inmates and staff, or to sell overproduction for profit on behalf of the state of Tennessee.[7]" Parts of Shelby Farms are still used as a semipenal farm. Some inmates of the Shelby County Corrections Center as well as individuals sentenced to community service are required to do yard work to keep Shelby Farms fields in shape or to pick up litter on nearby streets. It was self-sustaining until some rights activists asserted it was "cruel and unusual punishment" to require prisoners to actually work on the farm. I guess now they just sit around and wait out their sentences. Better? Heh. Jill |

Sometimes it is a lack of training, and sometimes it is just a personal trait. They aren't cut out for the work. I have a friend who I have known since university. She has some mental health issues. She suffers from anxiety. She has never worked. She can't handle the stress. Just about everything caused anxiety for her. She would be an extreme example, but there are lots of people out there who just can't handle things the way other people. Some people can go through a combat situation and come out of it feeling like a winner while others are horrified by what they have just been through, and then there are those who are just as stressed at having to deal with rude customers. |

| tert in seattle <tert@ftupet.com>: Mar 07 06:16PM technically hot pockets are on topic because they need to be microwaved I am only very recently woke to hot pockets because I was reading an interview with Jim Gaffigan and they had a youtube video of his hot pockets routine embedded in the article I asked my sister if she every tried them and she said they're good but Jim Gaffigan describes them as "let's take a pop tart and fill it with some nasty meat" and "they make vegetarian hot pockets for people who don't eat meat but still want the diarrhea" so I'm just looking for other reviews here but I'm afraid I'll have to try them myself because I'm really curious now my sister says she likes the cheese hot pockets |

I used to buy the Ham & Cheddar Hot Pockets to microwave as a quick lunch at work. IIRC they come with a crisping sleeve. I never did care for the pepperoni ones that pretended to be pizza. I've heard of 'Lean Pockets' (vegetables and sauce in a crust?) but have not tried them. No interest. I haven't bought a Hot Pocket in a very long time. I wouldn't recommend you waste your money.

Don't listen to what other people have to say about Hot Pockets - find out for yourself. I like Patton Oswalt's shtick about KFC's Famous Bowl. I find that Famous Bowls suits my style - it's like a TV dinner piled in a plastic bowl. https://www.esquire.com/food-drink/food/a17984/patton-oswalt-sadness-bowl/ |

I had a friend whose mother sometimes made them with sauerkraut. I have a neigbhoour with a Polish and Ukrainian background. She has a huge family and often hosts large family parties and includes friends and neighbours. She will spend a day or two preparing hundreds of those tasty little things. |

I have to wonder if perhaps supertaster is a misnomer. I had assumed that it meant that they had a superb sense of taste. Perhaps it is more a matter of lack of tastes. If supertasters run a risk of cancer because they don't eat enough greens because they find them too bitter perhaps they have a deficit in the taste sensors for the compliments. Perhaps they taste only the bitter because they don't sense the umami, sour and/or sweet. |
