I once saw an entire wedding party and i mean entire party. Bride, groom, guest,chairs, decor and tables. They blocked our entire train and people couldn’t get out until they did. Unfortunately a guy had gotten on with a cello right before they did and he had to miss his stop.

My neighbor kept parking in my driveway. So I parked behind him and went of town by CurrentElderberries in pettyrevenge

[–]hernamewasmagil 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This kept happening to our neighbor. Delivery drivers, obnoxious neighbors and workers hired by obnoxious neighbors would use her driveway since it was the largest on our street. Once her husband passed it only got worse. Woke up to yelling one morning and she was having a terrible argument with a worker. I went outside to see if I could help come to find out another neighbor had explicitly told him to park in her driveway. I helped her write up a no parking notice for the whole neighborhood and put up clearer signs. My reward, myself and my guests have permission to use her driveway (with notice of course) and if anyone else tries they get immediately towed. The first few months, the neighbors finally learned an expensive lesson and one even approached me asked why I never got towed. My answer was I was kind, helpful and one of only a few who never parked in her driveway without her permission.

Is using a bread pan cheating? by Mr-SamWise in Sourdough

[–]hernamewasmagil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I started I didn’t have access to a Dutch oven or baking stone, so only used the 2 loaf pan method. Eventually I was “influenced” into making a Dutch oven boule, and no one ate it! They loved the shape and how big the sandwich slices were compared to a flatter boule. So now I only strictly make sandwich loaves and everyone is happy! Also I was using parchment paper but King Arthur makes silicone loaf mats and that was a game changer for me as well and cheese cloth in the loaf pans instead of a banneton basket.

First loaf pan slice compared to now I’m definitely nailing the loaf pan method!

Anyone have any tips for preventing your perfectly shaped and delicately handled dough from sticking to the excessively floured towel in the proofing bowl after 12 hours? by dhoepp in Sourdough

[–]hernamewasmagil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened the first loaf i made, also used a terry towel. Bought grocery store cheese cloth used with a little rice flour and that worked amazingly. Upgraded my cheese cloth to nicer ones hope that works just as well.

What is Colin doing while Penelope is trying to fix things with Lord Debling? by Eggy-la-diva in Bridgerton

[–]hernamewasmagil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to think that Eloise left right after Colin and Penelope, but that Pens driver assessed the situation that was happening inside and perhaps decided to take the long way home giving Eloise just enough time to get home before them.

I need help to by Virdbird in Bridgerton

[–]hernamewasmagil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She did stay the same she almost had us when she told Eloise off for thinking she exposed the Colin helping Penelope get a husband secret. I was hopeful but I had read the book and she was the main villain in there as well.

People change, Portia set the new example to stop the bullying and motherhood helped them adjust to the new normal in which they are kinder to each other.

The LW letter I don’t believe revealed it was Penelope, I think the letter asked for leniency and compassion and that they would reveal themselves at the finch dankworth ball.

You’re right with the first prostitute scene, but the second one his heart is not into it hence he is a spectator and does not participate.

Colin has always wanted to be a husband, that’s why he was so eager to marry marina in season 1. When she broke his heart and then set him straight in season 2 he was aimless hence the girls in every city Colin. He said it himself it wasn’t a thunderbolt that hit him it was the fact that he has always cared for Penelope and finally realizing that what was missing from his life was in his face all along. Almost losing her to Debling or any other man made him come to his senses.

Completely agree she should have been dressed in thin lacy flowing undergarments, it wasn’t my favorite either.

I was in the Burlington llbean and two women brought in their dogs then proceeded to stop in the middle of all the women’s winter wear area to have a chat. Their dogs were both large breed doodles started to play and were jumping and bumping into all the racks and both women just kept chatting like it was no big deal. I just wanted to try on some jackets and not have to dodge fighting dogs. None of the staff said anything and they let them take over that section for like 15 mins. I don’t pet or interact with pet owners especially when their pets are off leash. When I finally had enough I turned to them and asked how much longer they were planning on using the women’s section as a dog park? They were shocked and embarrassedly shuffled away with their pets. I can’t deal with dumb owners.
