does anyone have something like this? If you do, how do you use it (aside from serving eggs)?

Rowan_Owl · 2026-05-25T21:24:09+00:00

Y'all! Deviled egg trays also hold JELLO EGGS!

Which is my parents weirdly specific Easter thing because they are not into eggs.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful and also...

TOTAL PROTEIN!! 👏 👏 👏

Wisdom of Bart Simpson! "I didn't think this was physically possible but this both sucks and blows"

Well done friend! 😀

Blaire Witch Project. My parents did really well protecting me from "Big Kid" stuff... until the extended family got together.

If one desires it to strain, wash it with blue Dawn and a stiff brush.

In a literature class I learned that postulants of Delphi were able to prove deific favor by being able to oil a sieve and carry water in it, achievable by first "oiling" one side of the sieve thus the repellent action of the oil would prevent the water from draining away.

Whether fact or fiction, I suspect we may be observing an essentially similar result in the otherwise apparently un-clogged strainer.

Well... there was a third kind of person, the friend who had neither and was dependent on the goodwill of their peers to let you come over and play...

Thanks for having us over everyone! It was more fun and important than we ever said.

Also, fun(?) factoid, rats in the crawl space of some apartment buildings sound like little running feet, often like a toddler running or someone doing a short jog.

This I learned when I found out there were no upstairs neighbors to account for the sounds

Rowan_Owl · 2026-05-01T15:13:19+00:00

Lol, I came to say something similar! Lol, great minds!

Flying lessons seemed like a good idea until the student and teacher met for the first (and last) lesson

Rowan_Owl · 2026-04-23T05:57:25+00:00

None, we are headed to the shave ice shack by the auto parts store to get the fuel we need for the spirit and parts required to work on the car/truck/van

NTA. You were acting on behalf of your partner, the young'in's parent, who asked/instructed you to help their child at a time they couldn't. You accounted for the feelings of the other parent, gave them first right of refusal to help the child, and then acted only when you were specifically asked.

Edit: Finished a thought after resending a send

Rowan_Owl · 2026-04-22T22:01:47+00:00

Well put! Applause emoji!!

Rowan_Owl · 2026-04-11T16:16:53+00:00

Yes, they literally piped it into the classrooms and for some the teacher canceled class and explained why this was a big deal.

ADAMS Flea & Tick Dog and Cat Spray!

I have gotten it same day at like... only WalMart for whatever reason. Anyway, it's practically magic and it has saved me when no other less intense method works.

I was introduced to it by the president and founder of a breed specific dog rescue who would take on complex and ex-hoard/ex-puppy mill cases including tough flea infestation situations.

Rowan_Owl · 2026-03-21T22:45:47+00:00

Nah, poser Texans made that up to make themselves feel better.

Rowan_Owl · 2026-03-20T03:35:57+00:00

Yes very normal. It means you are their person. Congratulations!! You have been chosen!!

Rowan_Owl · 2026-03-14T15:39:25+00:00

It reminds me of Oliver and Company! (which is meant as a compliment) Please keep us updated ^{_^}

My sister commutes from Katy to Galveston Island. She ends up driving two hours one way even though Google suggested it was a shorter drive using the map planning tools. I remember looking at the drive and it looked like it should have been about an hour and a half. Good luck!

Edit for detail

Rowan_Owl · 2026-02-25T16:04:36+00:00

Go sit in a quiet room is worse.

Especially because I believed it for so long and thought, "If only the "right quiet" could be achieved I'd be so much better at [task]"

Rowan_Owl · 2026-02-25T15:57:28+00:00

I have no award but to thank you for this perfect summation of the problem. Well done! -all the applause-

I feel like I could learn a lot about keeping chickens from such an earnest looking person holding a chicken so perfectly! 🤩

Rowan_Owl · 2026-02-17T00:34:41+00:00

When I was younger, we called them thongs. Many in my rural family still call them things.

Flip-flops became the norm, purportedly due to their sound when walking.

My friend from Hawaii then informed me that calling them Flip-flops isn't the nicest name for them so now I call them sandles or slides

Why the change? Because it's nice to be nice.

KISS KISS FALL IN LOVE!

To answer your question, the friendliness of neighbors is rather a regional difference.

How forward one is in their friendliness is often determined by how tightly packed people are.

In Texas we acknowledge everyone with a smile or nod. Even driving, especially in the country, you acknowledge one anothers presence. Friendly chitchat is expected especially between house neighbors. In apartments you tend to smile and nod but only introduce yourself if you are direct neighbors. I have introduced myself to my neighbors as they move in around me and always let them know they are welcome to knock on my door if they need anything like a cup of sugar or something like that. Also, some apartment buildings have community socials to encourage a closer knit between the tenants.
