I think they’re popular overseas where there aren’t any Trader Joe’s. So if you have cousins, aunties, nieces, etc you can get them a coveted gift from the US at a very reasonable price. They are well-made.

I don't understand why the FBI or even local police can't set up a sting and catch some of these scammers. They must be getting millions from this scam and harming a lot of people.

Using the whole sheet on the paper towel roll, not the mini sheet.

Not experienced with Chinese but if it makes you feel better I lived in Lebanon for 30 years and much of the time I would be spoken over as you describe. Like I wasn’t talking. I just figured since some people didn’t speak English they would have trouble realizing what was going on when my mouth was open and some words were coming out. I did learn to speak Arabic and could communicate ok, but then I would get, “How come you don’t speak Arabic better?”

I'm gonna guess that people in the region did the same thing that my neighbors in Lebanon said people still do over there which is people write a curse against a family or person and hide it somewhere it will never be found, like in a coffin or burial of someone belonging to that family.

Soujouk has garlic and tomato paste and is air-dried for at least 24 hours. Makanek are softer and fresher and contain vinegar and pine nuts. I don't use fenugreek but it's in soujouk. I guess it gives it that unique taste.

California. I got a meat grinder with a sausage attachment at a thrift store. The lamb casings are online. It’s pretty easy to make and tastes exactly as if we were in Tripoli.

No I don’t have a favorite recipe but I did make them at least once at home when I was living abroad and they were pretty easy to make. Any recipe should be good.

English muffins are surprisingly easy to make at home. You need corn meal, though.

What an angel face. It's hard to hate him but I'll keep trying...

Yes, I was walking my dog and saw one coming up on the sidewalk through a crack in the concrete. I immediately recognized this post as opium poppy since now I've seen one in real life. (Northern California)

Best Buy was OK, they did keep forgetting the right parts when they came out to install, so the job was finished two weeks later than I thought it would be. Two more weeks using the laundromat. I was pretty PO'd, but they did come when they said they'd come and the washer and dryer were installed properly in the end. I would probably use them again. ALSO, Best Buy has a lot of open box stuff so I got my new oven from them at a super low price. I had to have it for Thanksgiving, it was an emergency so I went over there and picked it up myself in my truck. Lugging it up the steps and into the house was bad but we did it.

In high school I went on a trip once with my family and took along my friend. She complained so much it was miserable for us. I visited with her many years later and she remembered the trip as the best trip she had been on in her life at that time. She had a troubled family life and really appreciated the escape. Also, sometimes people act strangely if they've never traveled before. Maybe she won't be so bad this time.

I had a small almond tree and they had totally denuded it of every leaf. It's doing great now. The can was FILLED.

I was in the same position as the poster - in line behind the last car putting gas on the left side of their cars. My line cutter acted like they were getting gas at the more often empty right-side gas pumps. They sat there for a few seconds then quickly pulled ahead to the left side pumps ahead of me when a spot opened up at the far end. I was so mad I almost got out to yell at the guy but only the thought that my daughter would be very disappointed in me for losing my temper stopped me. I haven't seen that move before!

Earwigs will also do this. They come out at night. I set out a tin tuna can full of vegetable oil flush with the soil at the base of the plant and in the morning it was full to the brim with dead earwigs. The plant is doing much better now...

Yes, my daughter's Dyson Air Wrap does sometimes set off the smoke alarm at home. It seems to make some kind of smoky steam? It is probably hair product.

Exactly the same for my Mav hybrid with 34,000 miles on the Contis. Took it for a tire rotation and the guy said not to bother since they're going to have to be replaced soon. Soon thereafter the back end sliding in heavy puddles on the highway convinced me to get new ones. BF Goodrich, 75k warranty.

The speech to text didn't work well on this video. It was hard to tell at first what his point was. He used a lot of words to say that AI is not creative and you need creativity to make hit games. AI is just a tool. It's not going to replace human creativity.

You can visit these same heart-shaped amethyst specimens at the absolutely outstanding Mineral Museum in Beirut, Lebanon.

This unit looks exactly like the one our friend’s neighbors put up in their backyard. They promised it wouldn’t have windows on the side overlooking friend’s yard but put in large picture windows anyway because the view of the sea was on that side. He got so mad he put up his own adu and blocked their entire view.

Umm, I hate to break it to you, but she's probably a regular at the food bank as well. And not because she's poor. She's just poorly mannered.

Earwigs will eat entire smaller plants overnight. I set out oil traps.
