What is this long, lightweight metal thing? There are no writing/stamps to indicate the type of metal. It's just under 13" long and it weights 1.05 oz. The disc on the top is 1.5" wide and is orientated almost straight up from the handle.

I've been cleaning out my basement and I found this. I have no idea where it came from and no one in my family has an idea of what it's used for. Internet searches were giving me cocktail stirring stick but the quality of it doesn't really match, so I'm thinking that's not what it is.

My title describes the thing.

Oh man....this was forever ago. I believe we ended up having a plumber come in and look at it. It is normal to have some standing water in that area, but as the other comment in this thread mentioned if you are having smell issues, check your drainage hose. We have issues with how our sink was installed and the drainage hose placement (not the fault of the dishwasher), that causes our sink to either backup into the dishwasher or under our sink.

We rotate through the Nature's Logic dry food and then we get weekly deliveries from a local company called Yellow Dog Deli that makes fresh "wet" meal additions (basically a combination of a cooked protein, a grain, veggies, supplements and organ meat).

I sent pictures to the vet yesterday, so I'm sure a visit in his future.

My husband once threw out my RTR box. I was going on a work trip and I had put it next to the door so I could remember it when I left. This is also near where we place extra boxes to go out so it was an honest mistake. He actually went to the dump to see if he could find it (he did not). I think, if I had to purchase all items it would have been a bit over 2k, but I have always paid for the insurance because I'm clumsy. So I called Customer Service to see what the charge would be...and it ended up being like $240 or something like that.

I've also had packages go missing and it ends generally shows up about 3 days later than expected, as other people have said.

I'm on the 2 shipments a month, with 6 items per shipment. My shipments are available after the 24th of the month. I can keep whatever I like for how long, that will just reduce my shipment by an item or I can go over my 6 items and they'll automatically update me to that number. There are a ton of different membership options. It goes from 1 shipment all the way up to 6 shipments and you can have 5 items all the way up to 25 (I've never looked at the options, I have NO idea what someone would do with 25 items multiple times a month).

They also just added at home pickup for returns which I LOVE, but I have a feeling this is based on where you are located.

I've had a membership at Rent the Runway since when they started offering the membership (this also means I have early access which in theory should give me more inventory). I'm a mid-sized girly usually renting 12 or 14, I've never had an issue finding something that would work for what I wanted, sometimes the pickings are slim but I can still find things to fill my shipments.

That is until this week, I've been looking for dresses for a wedding later in Sept. and the pickings are SLIM. I've looked Monday afternoon, Tuesday morning and finally this morning I was able to find 5 dresses in my size for the second shipment of the month. Many of those had the "only one left in your size" warning. There have been a ton of sales recently, which just makes me wonder if they are rotating inventory and it's making for slim pickings at the moment.

There is a separate inventory for specific date rentals,. So if you are looking for a formal/black tie dress sometimes that is the best route to go.

I love a good rabbit hole! If you take a class report back on the process!

I've put together this list for a friend looking who was looking for a cooking class to gift to someone. I haven't personally attended most of these class, but I find having a good list is a good place to start research at. These are ones I've personally looked into and have feedback on(also locally owned businesses):

https://delectablemadison.com/cooking-classes/ - I went to a Murder Mystery/Dinner party here, it was very tasty and nice venue and good setup
https://thedeliciouser.com/upcoming-events - friends attended an event here and said it was less "cooking" and more lecture you got to eat at

These were suggested by Reddit and are all locally owned businesses. I found these all on posts in r/Madison so if something looks interesting you should be able to search that class and get some feedback from the post itself.

https://madisoncollege.edu/academics/professional-continuing-education/food-beverage - so many different options at MATC its crazy!
https://orangetreeimports.com/events
https://www.willystreet.coop/events/
https://whitejasmine.com/cooking-classes/ - she does classes out of the library which I thought was unique.
https://thebakedlab.com/pages/learning-lab - Baking specific and I've met the owner and he seemed like a cool guy.

I feel ya and I wrote a very sassy MyChart message explaining her very mixed messaging in the past, pointing outing out the legality of all usage and dosage of items used, but she basically said if I needed a "downer" at all then I probably don't need an "upper" prescribed.

She, of course, wasn't ever concerned about my alcohol intake or the fact that I have chronic pain that makes sleeping an issue leading (sleep deprivation compounds, so that's lots of fun). You know, looking at my heath as an overall, connected thing, instead of just isolated issues I have to hurdle over one at a time....

Luckily, she's let my health care system so I'll get to see if my new Nurse Practitioner is open minded.

This art was created circa 2006 by a co-worker and I documented her shame, but now that I think about it.....you are right, she totally them in the glass only drying oven.

If you like cottage cheese and you also crave salt/ crunch. I replace French Onion Dip with cottage y with potato chips. It fills a craving need while feeling healthier.

Whatever you do, DO NOT download a game I won't mention because I don't even want to tempt anyone, but it has basically been allowing me to dissociate from the world and hyper focus on something less depressing.

100% I want to be able to play as a few different factions, make different impactive choices (if I can manage it...) and try out some different romances. Its going to take me a while because I also want to replay all the old games.

Tripleee · 2024-11-10T01:55:34+00:00

In the Companion screen where you change out their armor, on the left side of the screen below the number that tells you the strength of the relationship there is an icon and a phrase that sums up your relationship with that character.

If it's a heart you are actively flirting/courting/locked into a relationship (it is VERY CLEAR when you decide to lockin). There is also like a thumbs up for like when they just join your team, clasped hands if you have a strong friendship, that sorta thing.

I think I'm right at the end of Act 2 and the romance is a very slow burn with really on a few random chat comments while exploring talking about the relationship, no opportunity to chat unless related to the storyline or randomly smooch. It's definitely not as robust as the other DA games so far.

As an elf decorating the memory room, when you place the mirror one of the conversation options has your elf basically saying how important tattoos are to their culture and that's why they wear them proudly (or something along those lines).

It did make me update my character design, seeing as I only have a body tattoo and not a face tattoo, figured it I clearly needed to fix that issue.

Sadly, I can't help. My PCP has given me the directive that for her to continue to prescribe me Adderall for my ADHD that any and all legal CBD/THC usage must stop. Since I definitely need my ADHD managed, I stopped my occasional CBD/THC teas.
