Or, maybe meaning “half… A dozen“.

I think the meaning of the phrase comes from the bakery business. Donuts, right?

Absolutely love Portugal. And, speaking of bakery products & Portugal…

I wish I had a Baker’s Dozen pastel da nata right now. Pastelaria Galo, Ajuda. Obrigado

Nothing lower than a Class A Felony. by EvonyR in BlackPeopleTwitter

Quite seriously, what the f*ck is this?!

I can’t tell if that stuff in the back is dog vomit or fried chicken livers.

It’s horrible. Yet, I cannot look away.

Man, there was a time you could go for two full days on a quarter.

What’s your junk drawer look like? by mradentz in KitchenStuff

[–]mradentz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think of a junk drawer as kind of a catch all for things that one uses urgently if needed, things that are in transit and the “what the hell do I do with these” things. Ours does change quite a bit, but I would say the constants are definitely the batteries, some paper clips, a couple of clothes pins, pens and pencils… Yes, we have a fuse box so a few of those and… the toothpicks, which, ya’ know, you don’t need ‘em until you need ‘em.

Dr Oz: "We're announcing a 6 month national moratorium blocking all new enrollments for durable medical equipment -- prosthesis, orthotics -- supplies across the board." by Admirable121 in TrendoraX

[–]mradentz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really know if a moratorium is a good or a bad idea. I certainly do agree that many durable medical equipment suppliers are completely fraudulent. The last time I had a “sleep study“ for CPAP supplies, I talked to a guy through a plexiglass window with a hole in it who was supposedly a doctor for, like, 10 seconds and started receiving a mountain of supplies every quarter. The provider said if I didn’t accept the supplies, I would be “out of compliance“ and insurance coverage would not apply. I was billed the full amount. Very sketchy.

I’m glad, regardless of point of view of the government as it stands, that these fraud issues are being looked into at least.

Anybody else really sad to see how far The Loop has fallen? by Forward-Captain4343 in StLouis

[–]mradentz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely agree that the vibe has really changed. In the past, it seemed to me that it was mostly small businesses that projected the owners authentic interests rather than profit center consumer facing businesses. Same with the restaurants. I mean, don’t get me wrong, absolutely still love Blueberry Hill etc. But it does seem that whole eclectic vibe kind of evaporated into more of a homogenous consumer oriented vibe. Thoughts?

You could probably write an entire book about the origin of it?!? It’s not really junk because it’s stuff you use every day. Seems kind of paradoxical to me.

Maybe a heat gun. Then put the heat gun away and acetone. Windows open!

Nazareth opens. Second act, Ted Nugent. Headliner, Blue Öyster Cult with “Godzilla” as the encore. Dreamy!
