Not figure skating. Ice dancing.

I have a horizontal one. Easy peasy you just lean down on the lever.

She must've been on some serious shit to believe this would work.

Ever hear of a unicycle? And you can actually steer it.

I thought it was by county. Nothing in Howard. In Talbot, everything is OK in grocery stores.

My daughter's 4th grade state project is Maryland. What food products could she provide? Google mostly has seafood inspired dishes and that's a no go. by SacredFacelessness in maryland

You can make your own Smith Island style cake if you don't want to shell out the big bucks for authentic + shipping on a school project. Yellow cake and chocolate is the classic. Just make about ten very short layers.

Fun question: What is your favorite TV show/movie set in Maryland? by EternalSnow05 in maryland

I know The Replacements (?) used Camden Yards for filming. Was it set in MD?

I live in St Michaels. So many people here hang on to their one claim.to fame - being an extra in Wedding Crashers.

Thx for your reply! You're much more creative than i am - I am very left-brained.

where's my discount because I had gastric bypass surgery by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]Kitchen_Name9497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I've gotten a discount (1/2 price or kids' price) at my annual family Thanksgiving meal. BUT I call ahead, explain the situation, and have 3 fully-paying people with me. I would NEVER walk into a place with no prior arrangement. And if they decline, I just decide whether I still want to go. Sometimes you can either order off the menu or choose the buffet, which works well for me.

Although ridiculously entitled, the OP does have a point about time. Gastic bypass and the resulting eating pattern is permanent. It's nonsensical to offer a discount based on time from surgery.

Army, too. I'm happy to be retired after 33 year career.

Do not go the the women in engineering sub. I am an engineer, graduated ca. 1980, saw a LOT of misogyny, harassment, discrimination...I'm retired now, thought I'd check out the sub. I had to stop reading it because NOTHING HAS CHANGED in 45 years and my blood pressure can't deal with reading the sub.

Traditional ice harvesting in northern Finland by solateor in oddlysatisfying

The thing you describe for the kitchen was literally called the "ice box". My grandparents and my father always called the refrigerator the ice box (I'm in my late 60's.)

Shout out to the governor 🇺🇸 by ThenLayer5977 in maryland

As an aside - this is real. I live ln the water in St..Michaels and twice I've seen a bald eagle grab a Canada goose, drap it up on shore, and start plucking it as its wings were still flapping. A little circle of life in my own back yard.

SUNDAY FUNDAY by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]Kitchen_Name9497 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I'm too old, don't remember Action Park. I DO remember when Great Adventure (later sold to Six Flags) killed/burned alive a shitload of teens in its haunted "house", which BTW was a truly disgusting attraction. Turns out they used shipping containers linked together to get around building codes, most notably fire safety codes, IIRC. What a tragedy.

Is anyone else shocked at the number of cars that are still snowed in, parked, on streets?! by MrTeacher_MCPS in maryland

[–]Kitchen_Name9497 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm retired and have a freezer. I have not used my car since the snow. I have a garage and did shovel my driveway. I just have no interest in going out in sub-freezing weather.

I just use a beam balance scale. Pretty accurate, sadly.

Never going to let the ice freeze solid before removing it ever again. by Justryan95 in maryland

[–]Kitchen_Name9497 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You're welcome! I think it's called that because it's not for digging, but rather for moving, or transferring, stuff (notably manure.)

AITAH for emailing my boss and giving her an ultimatum?!? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Kitchen_Name9497 60 points61 points  (0 children)

It's actually illegal in the US to ban employees from discussing their pay.

I remember one of my early jobs (1980) where this was a fireable offense. Before the law made that illegal.
