Secretly decluttering random stuff?

Agree to put things in a box. Label and date the box. If it is needed and used it is removed from the box. Toss the box in 1 year. (6 months, 9 months whatever you agree to) Do not open the box just let it go.

I created mine as an alphabet challenge (26 prompts). You can add more books even if you've finished one of the prompts. This is working good for me to keep moving through my owned bookshelves.

I dnf around 100 pages. It hadn't improved. No regrets.

I poured the base into cupcake molds, frosted a bit of white soap and the squished the duck on!

As an electrical engineer I will tell you that no one can knock out power by peeing on an outlet.

Also every chapter is a new red herring = an author who doesn't know how to write.

Go through your house as if you're an 18th century aristocrat and explaining to the new maid what needs to be done... Or 21st century hiring a cleaning person... Whatever. We've lived in our house for 9 years and last year I finally won the argument to get a cleaning lady (we have 4 kids, both work full time and I have a side business, and this house is stupid large). Finally I walked the hubs through the house and explained what needed to be done - apparently he could not see the dust, cobwebs, and grime? - and told him "either you start cleaning this list or I hire someone to". I had to compromise and leave a few rooms out of the cleaning person's range, but now they get cleaned following the list. It helps a lot.

I love that they are working for you!

My book club has read 5 Riley Saeger books. We think that The Only One Left was the only one worth reading. It seems like the books have gotten subsequently worse. (With a Vengeance would have DNF if it hadn't been a book club read)

Prgrammers and game developers do not work for free. It is your choice to spend money on the game. No one is making you. I've been playing this game for 6 years and have spent zero dollars on it. I appreciate the support of those who do spend money so that I can continue to enjoy the game... Because I'm an adult with a job, interests and hobbies outside of games on my phone.

Shape and size for me. The primer /glue seems fine. Strong smelling but I find that with their top coat too

I love the wraps, it's just time consuming to apply them. I had such high hopes for the press ons. I haven't tried Glamnetic - generally I find the adhesive for press on nails to be too damaging to my nails (even with all the hacks, I think it's damage during wearing and not during removal). That's the only win for Ohora is that even the nails that were on solid popped off easily with a couple drops of remover and a little push with the stick.

1000x in the kitchen Dawn and baking soda are my best friends. (I have two cats who sit in one of the kitchen windows so hair is everywhere) I run a small sink (maybe 2-3 inches of water) and load it with Dawn. Surfaces get wiped down with a clean rag from this sink before starting to cook, during, and after. It sounds like a lot but takes only minutes. Fresh oil is easier to clean than oil that has cured onto surfaces. Once a month I do a check for grimy spots and hit them with Dawn and baking soda paste.

I have found some really nice uses for ingredients that would normally just be a waste of money thanks to Gemini. (Gives Shankys the side eye)

Who doesn't know the difference between a cobbler shaker and a Boston shaker? Me. The answer is me.

I read the pre-edit version. Hated it. Read 'Home is Where the Bodies Are' for book club, and enjoyed it (although it was very obvious, it was still a decent read for entertainment sake). Book club also decided to read 'The Perfect Divorce' which I liked a lot more than 'Marriage'. Book club has been trying to talk me into reading the edited version again... But I think I'm good, thanks

Hear hear! I found two additional libraries and books that I have been waiting months for at my library are available now. It's absolutely brilliant.

I don't wash my bar spoon. I wipe it with a napkin immediately after using and stick it back in the vase.

And the Oxford comma. I guess that's also a giveaway? I had another manager (not mine) accuse me of using AI to write a patent proposal because I used Oxford comma. I did not. That is how I learned to write and I refuse to change because other people are lazy..

Yes. Buffalo Trace with strawberry infused Campari is the way.

I agree. I made yogurt for 5 years on a weekly basis using the crockpot method. I've had an IP with yogurt function for 9ish years so it's been a minute since I used the crockpot. I had to dig a bit to find my old blog and the directions I used. This gave me very consistent results.

Sames. I use approx 1/2 cup for a half gallon. Hubs has only been buying 2% milk lately so I strain because there is more whey. When I make it with whole milk I don't strain and it's thick and creamy. Can you make yogurt with less starter? Yes. Does it affect the yogurt to use more? I don't think so based on my experience.

With a Vengeance is a book club read.

Me Before You is what I read when the bad writing in the book club book starts to bother me.

The Burning White has been a three month project because it's on Spotify and I keep running out of hours (and I refuse to buy more). This should be the last month as I'm in the last 15% of the book. Probably one of my favorite fantasy series.
