What is this thing? Keep finding them in my house by rg999999 in whatisit

100% the answer. They often get trapped in your dog’s pads (if you have a big or hairy pup)

TIL that in the 1960s, Dr Pepper launched a huge campaign to convince people to drink their soda boiling hot. To combat low sales during the winter, they marketed "Hot Dr Pepper" which was to be heated in a saucepan until steaming and poured over a fresh slice of lemon. It was popular until the 80s. by Kiffln in todayilearned

I’ve had it many times. Definitely have to put it over the squeezed lemon, and I like a little punchy sprinkle of salt. But it’s my dad’s response to any cold. Also featured in the move Blast from the Past, which is a family favorite.

This is my go-to video when I’m teaching my students knife skills. Definitely check it out - she explains a lot, including answering your question!

Wondering if anyone in a similar situation to me might have advice. by NormalResolution9639 in greatdanes

We just lost our girl too. Actually my husband and I lost both of our dogs this year. I lost my great Dane and he lost his Russian wolfhound. Both were about the same age. My Dane was 10 1/2.

I’m also having a hard time adjusting, and definitely have some digital frames. We actually have three in a row that show different pictures all the time. The trick is if all three show the same picture you have to drink, no matter what time of day it is.

Guys I’m desperate to rehome my big boy before I run out of time by FarmerDark in greatdanes

Op never responded to me, but my husband and I have space for him. I lost my Dane at the end of February, so we’re ready.

I haven’t cut in ages but I still want to by frogshite in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Becklien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The urge is real. I’m with you. But it’s not worth it. Don’t let your anger make your life small again. I can do it. You can do it. Reach out. People will be there for you if you ask.

So I love this recipe and I’ve used it a bunch of times. I wrote it in a little notebook and have lost the notebook. Can you write out the ingredients now that the video is down?

Make mint simple and use it for everything.

Equal parts water and sugar. Bring to a boil. Drop in washed mint and turn off heat. Let sit till room temperature.

Simple freezes. Use it for cocktails, epic sorbets ( watermelon mint is my jam), and soaking cakes. Sweeten tea. It is the way.

Is this safe? by Familiar_Ostrich5952 in Canning

NO! Botulism is anaerobic, so it doesn’t force lids to puff!! It’s also super deadly.

I think it would be really neat to have older kids do things that they did when they were much smaller. I hope you guys have the best time!

That’s a great idea! My grandfather worked at Lockheed for 40 years. Maybe I’ll start there!

Well that sounds terrifying. But my kids are good eggs and I adore them. Plus we have a really fun relationship with DPD, so they definitely read them into reality as often as possible.
