My 2 extremes are no makeup vs too much makeup.
Too much is not about prostitutes, just too much makeup.
As always, there are many steps inbetween the two
extremes.
 
I don't think black and white. Many shades of gray too.

The ferrets loved me and I loved them. They don't wear
makeup or perfume. Neither do I.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if you wear some "manly" perfume.

I've suggested Brussels sprouts slaw here for years, the caviar of
slaws... best with freshly picked or they can get bitter. I grow
Brussels sprouts so once a year I make somr into slaw. Easy to grow
but a lot of work to remove from the stalk and trim which is why they
are expensive. I grow regular cabbages too, large 10+ pounders, the
tender middles become slaw, the outer leaves are steamed, stuffed, or
become soup... the heart becomes cooks treat.

Every Brussel Sprout I ever tried to eat was bitter to me.
 
But I love broccoli! GHW Bush hated broccoli, but I can't for the life of me figure out why, unless he didn't put enough butter on them, as broccolis are Butter Sponges!

Obviously his tile roof is going to be more expensive than other
materials, but over $100,000 is obscene. My roof is bigger than his. I
had it done a few years back for $4500. As it turned out, they had not
done a good job because they had failed to replace some plywood. I
found that out less than two years later when a tree fell on my roof.
Insurance paid for a new roof, and they did everything, including
sections that had been unaffected. They also replaced all fascia,
soffits and gutter screening. $24,000 for the works. There are other
materials that are better than shingles but cheaper than tile.

Did your contractor return your calls. John has to call his, and he has
to do it early in the morning. Maybe that catches him early enough that
he forgets to check caller ID before answering.

Because clay tiles break so easily is why they are rarely used
anymore... today they have metal roofing that looks exactly like clay
tile and for about 1/3 the cost. They are available in several
configurations to match the different olde tyme clay tiles, with
different textures and many colors... from the ground you can't tell
that they are metal. They are also insulated on the underside to
deaden the sound of rain. Most people here who are having roofing.
replaced are going with metal... can last two lifetimes and goes up
much faster than clay tiles. And the main advantage is metal roofing
adds much less weight to a roof than clay and even asphalt.
Kootchie doesn't have any home owners IQ to spend so much on clay tile
roofing... and guaranteed several tiles will crack with the first
freeze as clay absorbs moisture... probably why that company is
stalling on the installation... clay tile roofing is better for warmer
more temperate climates.

In the early 20th Century, "gay" was used to refer to a promiscuous
woman or hooker!

Funny one, Janet. I guess that's a good scare tactic with
no harm to the little ones. Problem is that even if they
freak out and run, they'll run short and come back again
a few minutes later.

I use lemon scented soap for dishes. I like that.
 
For laundry I use unscented soap with just a nip of
plain bleach. I like the faint bleach smell. Never a
nasty perfumed dryer sheet or fabric softener though.

My husband likes to use fabric softener. I buy unscented.
Since he stopped working, he's been doing the "dumb" laundry
and putting fabric softener in it (except, of course, for
the towels). I don't mind if my socks and skivvies are softened.
I continue to wash the clothing I wear to work.
 
We don't use bleach, since we don't have a lot of whites.

The only time I've watched Fox was during one of the earlier
Trump speeches about the corona thing, followed by the Q&A
part with reporters.
 
One by one, the others news cut it short and went back to
normal programming. Kudos to CNN that kept going for a
good while longer but then even they cut it short.
 
Only FOX news continued until the end of the news conference.
 
My problem with Fox news is that it doesn't show a normal
news program. It's only talk shows commenting on the
current politics with "experts" analyzing it all.
 
I like to hear the actual news. I don't need any "expert"
explaining it to me with their own biased twist.

Yoose Hawaiians should have stopped all people from entering
Hawaii months ago.
 
Yoose ppl actually should have done that over 2 hundred years
ago in Captain Cook's days. Those europeans brought many
diseases that wiped out quite a few Hawaiians even back then.

Who would even want to travel to St.Louis other than
for business or to visit relatives? ;)
 
That nifty arch they have is pretty cool though. I wouldn't
mind riding up in that to look out over the area.
 
I wonder if John has ever done that?
Let's ask him, he lives there.

I looked it up yesterday yesterday and the number of cases was 136. I
just checked again and it is now 145. That is an increase of 11 since
yesterday.

I suspect you *could* poach a fish that way but only
using a clean dishwasher. It's the soap part that sounds
wrong.
 
No matter how well you wrap fish in foil, I'm sure some
soap will find a way in. No thanks.

Yeah maybe about time now. Only a McGary's burger though.
Those are pretty tasty too.
