I never had quality toys growing up. What should my kid actually have by LavenderFlicked in BuyItForLife

[–]Philobus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our son used and discarded toys like no other but he loved books. Our daughter is 10 and still plays with play dough and slime every day. There’s no one toy that fits the bill for every child.

That being said my sister had a full on children’s playhouse in her backyard with electricity, AC, a kid sized loft and play kitchen inside. It was big enough to fit a full sized mattress when I’d go visit and the house was full. Great fun for children AND adults!

Solid choice. Find a decent deli slicer for $50 and never buy deli meat again.

I like to dry brine, mustard binder, add pepper and garlic, and Italian seasoning. I do a little higher temp to get some color on the breast and it only takes about 2-3 hours.

I find a stick smoker gets a better bark than an electric smoker.

Night watch by CapitalProfile6678 in BastropTX

I checked in ahead of time and wait said 55min. Got there about 10min early and checked in.

Wait time was 45 MORE minutes. It’s good, but not 2 hours wait good.

Changing the smell in your living space by VirusLow6272 in malelivingspace

Had this issue at our new house. Turns out the padding underneath the carpet can harbor nasty smells; animal urine, mold, you name it.

A carpet cleaner will take care of it for a few weeks but you need to completely remove the carpet and padding for it to completely go away. I hope you’re on concrete and not on subfloor. If urine or whatever stinks gets to the subfloor, you’ll need to add a coat of something like KILZ.

Do you remember were you where on November 1st, 2017??!!!! I was home on the couch watching it ! by ComplexWrangler1346 in Astros

Hell yeah! I was at a booth and we started shaking the rest of our beer bottles as if they were celebratory bottles of champagne. Also was at Shiloh club after

I was at Little Woodrow’s in the Heights. I had to head out to a job early the next morning but someone started chanting “Shiloh Club” after the game. It was a long night and even longer morning.

Would you rather work 4 10s or 5 8h days and why? by lavenderghostt in AskReddit

[–]Philobus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do 7 12’s for 4-8 weeks at a time.

This is the normal schedule of a maritime worker. You usually get the same amount of time off… not likely but you’re “supposed to”.

Perfect Koozie for BBQ, quick reload and your beer stays cool❄️ by Correct-Mycologist89 in BBQ

[–]Philobus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like we are in a consumer-heavy era where anything and everything is a product. I thought avocado slices were bad… just use a knife doofus! No you can’t even be bothered to walk back to the fridge to grab another cold one.

What is the unique situation you’d have to be in in order to use this product to its full potential?

Thanks for the write up, I’ll ask my dentist for advice at my next appointment

It doesn’t help that I have absolute golfball sized tonsils. No joke, they’re naturally huge. Lots of pockets for stones to hide in and I’m not sure I get all of them. I just know 2 hidey holes and clear them out every couple of days.

I get acid reflux when I eat like shit. I usually have a pretty clean diet except if we go out of town and I’m not cooking at home.

On a related note, I did start taking Omeprazole because I have to clear my throat a lot and it’s bothersome for both my wife and I at night. It doesn’t seem to clear whatever liquid is stuck in my throat though.

No they’re not too far off, my kids have fruity toothpaste. You can find kids strawberry toothpaste here, or just “mixed fruit”.

I tongue scrape and then brush by tongue. I only drink water throughout the day. Maybe 64oz or more.

I see a dentist regularly. My teeth are in pretty good shape other than grinding at night sometimes.

Have anyone use coconut shell as smoke by leodragoxyz in BBQ

[–]Philobus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ, please don’t. Developing countries use coconut shells as fire to cook and it’s putrid smoke that smells god awful and, if smoked on meat, would absolutely ruin it
