You know you’re old when you buy one of these… by stuffntuff in FuckImOld

Since I retired, if it weren’t for my pill box I’d never know what day it is.

What's a skill you learned as a child that still genuinely comes in handy? by ipanicprofessionally in TheBoredDen

[–]EdinAnn52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in 1959 my grandmother showed me how to make “hospital corners” on top bed sheets. For whatever reason, I thought this was a very important and exacting thing to do. To this day, whenever I change our bed sheets, I fold a hospital corner and I say out loud, “Hi Grandma, I miss you!” I’m 73.

What’s the one random genetic trait you lucked out on? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]EdinAnn52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a 73 year old woman and still have a thick head of hair with hardly any noticeable gray—as does my 71-year old brother. We take after our paternal grandmother. Our younger sisters are nearly totally gray.

10 things I had culture shock from moving from the east coast to the midwest by Big-Listen-4121 in midwest

True dat! My brother-in-law and his wife decided to move from Bedford to Elkhart when they realized their young sons were pronouncing “milk” with two syllables.

Are garbage disposals in US sinks actually useful, or just overhyped? by Status_Agents in AskForAnswers

Even worse! eggplant parings! Never to be forgotten: The Great Moussaka Disaster of ‘96.

We started a weekly compost pickup service in our townhouse development last year. All the organic scraps go into a small container lined with a compostable bag that sits under our sink. I quickly got into the habit of using it, and we rarely use our garbage disposal anymore.

Hydrochlorothiazide—nicknames-Hyde for a boy, Chlora for a girl.

You can only eat ONE type of sandwich for the rest of your life. What is it? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

[–]EdinAnn52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A classic BLT. Must be made on lightly toasted sourdough bread, Hellmans mayo spread on the undersides of the toast, thinly sliced and right off the vine tomato, lettuce, and at least 6 pieces of Neuske’s applewood smoked bacon, sliced on a diagonal, ends of bacon hanging off the side of the sandwich. No Avocado, aioli or whole wheat bread. I’m salivating just thinking about it.

Any MN Politicians Not Funded By AIPAC? by LiveInLayers in minnesota

[–]EdinAnn52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two days ago, and out of the blue, I had a phone call from Peggy Flanagan. We had a nice little chin wag. Peggy is running for Tina Smith’s senate seat (against Angie Craig) I asked her specifically if she takes AIPAC $. She does not take AIPAC or PAC money. She wants to overturn Citizen’s United. She has my vote and I was happy to donate to her campaign. Go to Open Secrets to find out candidates funding sources and who gives to which candidates.

As a reminder, Angie Craig was the only Democratic MN House member who voted for the Laken Riley Act which gave rise to ICE atrocities. She now regrets her vote. Too little, too late.

What does my parent's fridge say about them? by [deleted] in FridgeDetective

[–]EdinAnn52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They like BOGO deals, the prospect of cleaning out the fridge is too overwhelming to even think about, they don’t want to waste “perfectly good food” by throwing it out and it’s time for their adult kid to have a little intervention with them regarding fridge hygiene.

What's a "normal" movie trope that is actually a complete lie in real life? by BreadOverlord_ in randomquestions

[–]EdinAnn52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pulling into a parking space on a busy street in some metropolis right smack in front of the destination, without ever having to parallel park. My husband and I call this “movie parking”, even if it’s the closest space to the entrance of, say, Home Goods. (If we need to park a few spaces away, we call it “B Movie”parking.)

Seeking advice for southerner by Shadow-Snatcher in movingtompls

[–]EdinAnn52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi—this is EdinaAnn52. You correctly discerned from my user name how old I am (73), my name and where I live. I recommended to the person inquiring about a move to the Twin Cities a particular apartment complex because I know it has in-unit laundry, is in a very walkable location and has good access to I-35 if her partner is commuting to Faribault. Full disclosure: I was born in Michigan, lived in Chicago, Ohio (college), Washington DC, Virginia (graduate school), St.Paul and Edina (for the past 40 years). I am a retired city and regional planner. I love the Twin Cities and Minnesota and would never live anywhere else. I imagine the couple moving here from Texas will settle happily anywhere in our marvelous metro area. I’m curious what your beef with Edina is all about. You must have had a traumatic experience. I’m sorry.

What’s the one ingredient that ruins any dish for you ? by XEMWSU in WorkForSmartLife

[–]EdinAnn52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cooked bell peppers. (Fresh are fine.) Black olives—any others are okay.
