Yep, Wooden Head and Puddin' Head. Teaching their teacher how to teach
may be the closest they ever came to success in their lives.

As you pointed out in a previous post, this is Rec Food Cooking.
 
I've never made lobster bisque, but I'm familiar with the techniques.
It's not a difficult thing to make.

are you antifa? I think only antifa would compare a shrimp to a lobster.

Normal young people who are still growing can easily gain weight and
if they increase their activities they will stop gaining and may even
lose a few pounds. At ten years old I got my first full size two
wheeler and pedaled all over NYC. Every day before coming home for
dinner I'd stop at Mrs. Kushner's candy store for a malted, her
malteds had to be more than 1,000 calories. My Schwin was heavy and
had only one speed. I didn't gain any weight and probably lost some.
Those old Schwins were better exercize than Kootchie's Nodick Track...
and was heavier with Sydele Elkin, my roller rink dance partner,
sitting side saddle on the crossbar.

What about an elderly woman who has been obese all her life?

That happened to my sister when she was young. Several hours in surgery
to clean up the mess and it was a "cross your fingers" thing afterwards.
She almost died that day.

How about pleasing yourself? There's no remodeling involved to
replace a kitchen sink and faucet. I only had to cut the opening a
bit larger with a saber saw, easy. Installed a new drain kit to
change from a double to a single, hardware stores carry the PVC kit,
no tools needed, all hand tight. The extra spigot is for our RO
water. The RO filter is on our basement wall, right under the sink,
installed by the guy who services our water softener.
 
The partition that makes it a double gives you two tiny sinks, I find
that worthless for washing a roasting pan or any large cookware.
This made kitchen work much easier, it measures 28" X 16" X 8" deep.
There's no standard size for a kitchen sink, different manufacturers
make different sizes and styles. Not a great photo but what I took at
the time, some 20 years ago, to show the newly installed hardwood
floor, Brazilian cherry:

If she's not dissatisfied with her sink, she is already pleased.

Easy if your countertop is laminate or solid-surface acrylic. A bit tricky
if it's stone, concrete, quartz composite, or stainless steel.

I washed diapers in the sink for a year and a half or so. Every night
from May 1979 and much of 1980. First rinse in the toilet. Second rinse
in a 5-gallon bucket in the bathroom. Followed by washing and rinsing in
the kitchen sink each evening. About 30 single diapers. They were always
doubled for wearing she wore about 14-15 per day.
 
Anyway, a double sink the same size as a single one is NOT the same
size. It's two sinks that equal the same size.
 
IMO, the larger single is definitely the best. The divided was just a
bad idea.
 
I have the large single now but I've had the double too in the past.
 
Also I agree with Sheldon that those separate very shallow bar sinks are
even a dumber idea and a waste of money.

but you did say,
"I would like to have the single bowl sink and they're not expensive "
 
Maybe make that a Christmas present for yourself next year. Or a
birthday present. If you found a single sink the same exact size, it
would be a cheap replacement.

Weeks ago on Jan. 2, two of us checked with the IRS on its website. She and I both received notifications that our checks went out on Jan. 6, 2021.
 
Today is January 21, and neither of us has received the second $600 stimulus check. And now IRS says it's not going to mail any more, as of almost two weeks ago, the 12th, if I remember correctly. Why is that and how can that be?
 
Nor can you go to the IRS site NOW and find out if your check has been mailed, or to track it, although IRS has publicized that those services are available. That service was how we found that our checks had been mailed, or so we were told.
 
We are both on SS fixed income and overburdened with medical debt and property taxes, so you can imagine how badly we need that money. I had to park my 25-year-old Ford Taurus because the transmission went out. It might as well be junked and I owe $500 on it. Her car, an old 2011 Scion, has all the engine lights on. She is two payments behind and afraid it will be repossessed.
 
We are not improvident or big spenders. We have both had serious, and expensive, problems with our health -- leukemia, asthma, congestive heart failure, worn-out joints and spinal columns, and unexplained depression other than from having to shelter alone in place. She can hardly walk from one room to the other, and there's no way she can go back to work.
 
I'm in my late seventies and no longer employable. I have tried to find work without success. Love of money may be the root of all evil, but I believe that it may be the lack of money which is the root of all evil.
 
Our fridge died a year ago, we can no longer use the sink in the bathroom because of a drainage pipe leak in the basement, our washer has quit, our water heater needs service, the roof leaks, gutter is falling off, the furnace is acting up, creditors come banging on our door, tv cable is turned off for nonpayment, and both of our dogs are elderly, sick, and need veterinary care.
 
She has been very depressed lately and told me yesterday she wished she could just lay down and die. She said that death would relieve her of all the sad things that constantly worry her. So I watch her most all the time to make sure she doesn't try to kill herself. Personally, I believe that her love for the doggies is all that keeps her alive.

For 2020, I doubt he would be required to.
No tenants that whole year?
Only income was the stimulus check last spring.
 
Would still be smart to file though. He might get some "poor ppl" refund
just by showing no income.
 
I heard the details about the stimulus checks just last week.
The IRS does require you to declare that, but they don't tax it.
I had wondered about that.

Thanks for that, John. You're the first I know that has received one. At
least I know now to look for one soon.
 
I do know that the USPO is running very late with mail recently. I get
emails from them saying that.
 
I hope for a direct deposit but last spring, mine came as a check. They
have both my mailing address and also my bank #'s for direct deposit.
 
Also, remember, they are planning to send out a second one soon for
$1400 more. :-) I like that plan!

Master Bruce was being sarcastic. He was pointing out, in a
subtle way, that no matter what the Left* says, the Democratic
party is pretty centrist* and in practice only nibbles at the edges of
change.
 
*I'm using "Left" and "center" in the American sense, recognizing that
what we call Left would be pretty far Right in Europe.
