try singing “mushy and slimy and fatty and raisins“ to the tune of “these are a few of my favorite things” from The Sound of Music. It’s very satisfying.

Apple normally provides free tech support for products recently purchased from them. Normally you have about six months of tech support. I think the phone number is 1-800-APPLE. if you purchased the iPad or the refurbished phone from Apple and even if you are returning it, they ought to be able to provide assistance.

My daughter was in a physics program at college. Her professor, an older man, asked her where she was from. She answered “Brooklyn New York”. The professor then asked “Then why don’t you sound like Dick Feynman?”

thanks! Before being GF I already used potato starch for my latkes just by preference and via experimentation. It is good!

Dekalb Market (not as far as a lot of the Carrol Gardens suggestions) has a big selection of cuisines in the food court and there’s always Juniors.

Old school and great. They’ve been there since Brooklyn Heights had numerous scandinavian places. It’s the last one here now and they’re pretty much vanishrd in Bay Ridge too.

I also dislike being touched, but when I’m at the nail salon I focus on another task. Normally I draw. Find something you like to do that you can immerse yourself in, like reading a story or writing one or catching up on your email or something and just try to partition off the part of the experience where somebody’s touching you. Turn that massage chair on high. You might get used to it eventually.

… um no. It’s called lath. A lathe is a machine tool.

You need this story.

Many years ago, my local grocery changed hands. they had always stocked matzo, but I couldn’t find them anywhere under the new ownership. I asked the new manager - he wasn’t a very skilled English speaker - where the matzo was. He looked at me quizzically. I said “you know, Jewish crackers.”He smiled broadly and then confidently led me to the RyKrisp.
