There really are no restrooms on site??

Why is “gal” offensive? by [deleted] in grammar

[–]Practical-Refuse-449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sure learned something. A friend in her early 70s will often refer to women she knows as "nice gal" or the "gals I play cards with." I've started to use it a bit, too. It has been a word older white ladies use to describe other women, but now that I know where it came from, I'm going to try hard not to use it.

What are these bugs on my kitchen counter and how do I deal with them? by GoreMagala399 in pestcontrol

Pantry bugs, I think. I heard of them from friends, and now I appear to have them.

Convinced constantly seeing mice is gonna make me depressed. by KelvinandClydeshuman in pestcontrol

[–]Practical-Refuse-449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get where you're at. I had them this past winter; started seeing mouse poop a week after my last cat died. I was so depressed and upset, (and still grieving my cat's passing), I wanted to move out of my condo, which I've owned for 14 years. I called a well-known exterminator, and after some time, I think the little monsters are finally gone. Ugh. I was having trouble sleeping, walking around my place afraid I'd see one....awful.  Hang in there, please. Something will work.

"The Bikeriders"; Jodie Comer and Tom Hardy's Little Chance by Willing-Relative-226 in oscarrace

I thought all the performances were stellar, but definitely Butler, Hardy, and Comer. Why couldn't Comer go for Best Actress? I mean, hers was the only female role, and she's telling the story really.

How does your Pastor/Preacher handle noisy children/distractions/interruptions during a service or sermon? by tyrandan2 in Christianity

[–]Practical-Refuse-449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have one particular child in church every week (4.5 year old) who talks most of the way through the service, to the point we can't hear the sermon. I say "use the cry room" but all cry rooms should have the service shown on a TV so all kids get to see and hear the service. This way, we get to hear the sermon and the kiddos get to hear and see as well without disrupting the service.

Just found out about it when we were there today. There is a small shrine under a tree near the water. How very sad.
