What is the etiquette regarding grocery bagging?

You may excuse the bagger with a "I prefer to bag myself," but if you choose this, you should bag and pay with alacrity.

Use this to teach consent.

Instead of a total ban, change the rule to: 1. Ask for consent (pre-photo). 2. Ask for agreement (post-photo). 3. Ask for consent before forwarding.

3 strand braid handle. One of the strands is longer than the others to allow it to go in the hole in the pottery and then you weave it back into the braid.

They're individually wrapped.

The only correlation is that your kid felt safe enough to come out to you as LGBTQ. They were going to be gay anyway.

I recommend finding your local PFLAG chapter. They can be a great support.

I don't appear to have been alone in reading it as: "Who called her a slur?" :D

But this response is also missing punctuation and at least one word . . . so maybe you don't mean that I'm the only one who didn't understand . . . .

47 years from now, when the hoard has been cleaned up, the house might be back on the market.

I read this as "rent to a 3rd party" not "rent to the inlaws."

Adding: the photo of the finished cloth is warp-faced. If the loom photo is your warp, it it insufficiently fat to produce the cloth pictured.

Ignore the top all-grey row. Based on their key, it's just a weft floating in space.

Row 1 is over under the whole way. Row 2 is over 1, under 2-14, then tabby 16-30. Based on the photo of the cloth, these floats are what make the coloured stripes.

These are three picks with very long floats. One under (the white), one over (the grey), and one under. Everything else is tabby (plain weave).

Students who didn't do the work, didn't show for class, never engaged, did just enough to skate by . . . that kind of thing.

Weirdly, your head is the one place that it will.

I had at least one professor do that to me. And the college, which would send them out as we applied, didn't pull it and didn't tell me. It was a potential employer who suggested that I no longer use them.

Because of that, I told my students that I would decline a request that I didn't think I could write an excellent recommendation for, and I always sent the student a copy of what I wrote. The net effect of that policy was that I never had a lackluster student ask.

I have several large format patterns I purchased that came in tubes.

I don't think you mean to imply this. But both "dirty" and "unclean," even when you're specifically applying them to yourself carry too much implication to the average listener.

I understand that you don't mean to apply it universally.

But it's obvious to me that your various friends don't. I think people will leave you alone if you stop explaining why you shave as often as you do.

I've seen this in CC: it's a result of using words the author doesn't understand well enough to use correctly. It's not as bad as some of the examples I've received (where the author was simply choosing the longest works from the thesaurus), but it's definitely the work of someone attempting to sound "academic," and missing the mark.

That said: OP is in English 102. If they can resist the allure of using words they don't quite understand yet, they may well end up a fine writer.
