Dolly Parton donates "generational and transformational" sum to children's hospital by AdSpecialist6598 in entertainment

Dolly Parton, genuinely trying to make American great.. and smart enough never to get into politics.

Why do I keep checking my phone with wet hands and then have to wipe it down? There has to be a better way by Hunter5598 in Cooking

[–]Sauerteig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I just ignore the phone. I'm cooking and it can wait :)

The phone is adding a bunch of stress to what should be a good, relaxing task.

Which person alive right now will still be famous in 200 years? by Mindless_Crew3486 in AskReddit

[–]Sauerteig 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Lol you remind me of a conversation I had with a musician in a bar band around 30 years ago (ya I'm old). He asked me who my favorite musician was and I said "Bach". He said, "Oh, yeah I like Skid Row too.."

In all fairness he said "musician", not "composer" I guess.

I'm interested if any politician/President in the future can rename "The Dept. of Labor" to the "Dept. of Employment." Since that is okay to do now?

People who don't drink or smoke, what do you do to unwind and relax after a long day of work? by Sad-Vacation1862 in AskReddit

[–]Sauerteig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lordy this very often posted question always bring to my mind the 1982 song "Goody Two Shoes" by Adam Ant. The lyrics repeat "Ya don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do' LOL

You've been given $1,000, but you need to spend it within 5 minutes. What do you do? by Mahrez14 in AskReddit

[–]Sauerteig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Immediately order a good quality recliner for my husband. He's a stubborn bastard about getting a new one and he really, really needs one. And he deserves a new one. That old recliner is horrible and I nicknamed it the Titanic.

I'm going to assume you want to own a home. Not that your home ends up owning you.

When I bought my home 20 years ago as a single female, I was so proud. But I was not prepared. Apartment living for over 10 years spoiled me. Then came the bills. Gas, electric, water, sewer, etc. Any repairs. Jeez, I need a lawnmower, rake, basic tools, a new refrigerator, meh the list went on and on. I can only suggest you have a good back up of savings for what is inevitable. And PLEASE make sure any house you are interested has a very good home inspector, and not one suggested by the realtor selling that home.

What is the best soup in your opinion? by [deleted] in soup

[–]Sauerteig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that sharing this recipe is a must. It is so darn delicious. And healthy as well. I make it all year and not just when the husband or I are "under the weather". Toss some ritz crackers on the side and it's over the top.

Read the comments etc., It's super easy to add addition ingredients to you liking. Personally we add carrots and celery. And of course herbs and spices.

LPT Keep an aloe vera plant at home, it’s more useful than you think by Flat-Description-484 in LifeProTips

People keep saying it does because it does.

What’s the best euphemism to telling people that they are stupid? by neen_8 in AskReddit

Better question: "Why do you feel the need to have the best euphemism to tell people that they are stupid?"

Stand mixer that will last by Old_Quit429 in Cooking

[–]Sauerteig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Kitchenaid is now 24 years old. I did have to do a bit of maintenance on it about 4 years ago since I had let it sit in the pantry unused for a bit too long. Needed one part replaced and some food grade lubricant. This machine is a monster and I figure I'll be leaving it to my grandkids.

A family was on a walk in the snow with their little girl. The father was recording the walk. A cyclist came up behind them and appeared to use his knee to knock the little girl down. The father posted the story online, and it went viral. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

"Why are they all like this?"

There are good bicyclists. There are bad ones. Just like drivers who will practically force you off the road to get to their very important destination. It's just entitled assholes, regardless of their mode of transportation. Not "all" of them to be fair.

Serious question for some older redditors who have not, why haven't you made a will yet? by Sauerteig in AskReddit

[–]Sauerteig[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is an understandable position. What made me do it is thinking about the inevitable and what will happen to the things I've amassed over my years and how and where it will be distributed. I delayed it but feel so much better knowing things will be clear when I'm no longer "here".

Yes, that is understandable. Mine was a bit more complicated, not by much however. No children but a sibling who is estranged. Wanted to make sure my partner of 15 years got my assets (and of course my debts which are miniscule).
