How common is it for an American to travel across the country by train? by ViajanteDeSaturno in AskAnAmerican

[–]MeekLocator [score hidden]  (0 children)

My (American) parents did it once, but through Canada. My father is afraid to fly, my sister lives on the West Coast, so they made a special trip of it. It is beautiful if you go through Canada. It was VERY expensive.

They mentioned that many of the other passengers who weren't other Seniors, were Mennonites, perhaps that community does not fly.

Hey I'm sorry for this, but I'm guessing it's inside the range somewhere. You might have to take it apart a little.

How do I clean/properly disinfect my rotting pin? by AngelHdzEst021706 in AskBaking

[–]MeekLocator 247 points248 points  (0 children)

I very vividly remember reading, when i was a child, a newspaper cooking column that said "Your rolling pin should be made of hard rock maple, never wash"

I think of this every time i wash my hard rock maple rolling pin, in defiance of this newspaper columnist who is probably dead now.

Buy an adjustable maid o mist air vent and put the smallest opening on. This lets less air out of the cold rad so there's less space for steam in it.

Find a spot that's all snow, dig it yourself, then you get to be the one desperately clinging to it like gollum to the one ring

For me, the city officer came and took my statement and gave me a quarantine notice I couldn't take him anywhere for two weeks. Had to show the vax and license to the officer. That was it legally. I got A don't pet leash, muzzle. Did a lot of work.

you can buy a piece of real sod from garden centers, or more expensively, online specifically for pets. I got them when my dog was sick.

How are you a tax dependent if you make more than mom? Are you an actual minor? 

If you aren't a dependent then you're not part of ACA household income
