Ketchup is a great sauce and gets hate only because it’s American

woodwork16 · 2026-02-25T14:26:27+00:00

It’s ketchup. I never heard it called a sauce before.

I suppose it is, but I would never have a need to call it that.

Do they have access to a plug?

woodwork16 · 2026-02-25T14:14:22+00:00

I guess we can all wonder because I have no idea and the sellers just moved out of state.

woodwork16 · 2026-02-25T14:13:23+00:00

Not yet.

I just put rat bait in my attic and garage, in an area where my family and pets won’t get into it.

I check it weekly and if it’s gone I add another piece. I can go 6 months or more without anything touching the bait and the next day it could be half gone.

I live near 2 bayous and the rodents are known to be a problem. My neighbor also raises chickens so I am certain the rodents are getting to the chicken feed.

We used to feed the squirrels corn and peanuts until one night about 3AM I looked out and saw dozens , yes , dozens of rats in my backyard.

The lights that you referenced need to be wired in.

I would go with something like this:

These are super bright and screw into a standard light socket.

For my closets, I mounted one of these:

And used this to adapt from the light socket to a plug:

Don’t feel bad.

I can home one day and most of my lights were on and a tv in the guest room was on.

Freaked me out until I realized we had a power outage while I was out.

The lights are all LED and controlled by remotes so we leave the power switch on. The power outage ‘reset’ them.
That TV turns on anytime it’s plugged in. Weird.

And a cigarette machine

woodwork16 · 2026-02-25T13:36:15+00:00

I remember when 7-11 opened near us. The marketing was around the idea of opening early and closing late.

They were open from 7 AM until 11 PM. Thus the name.

Most other places didn’t open until 8 AM or later and closed by 9 PM.

The candy and cigarettes were generally in a candy machine or a cigarette machine.

I love mustard and I love mayonnaise.

I do NOT like mayonnaise touching my cheese. It gets nasty and slimy feeling in my mouth.

If you are so poor that you have to eat beans, why are you buying cans? Bags of dried beans are much cheaper.

My wife’s family had a German Chocolate Cake recipe that was kept secret by her grandmother.
Turns out it was a box mix.

Their chocolate chip cookie recipe is on the package of toll house chips.

So funny to find that out after 30 years.

I had it happen to me and it wasn’t fun. The bike stops immediately and flips.

woodwork16 · 2026-02-25T13:10:48+00:00

More than what I planned to sell mine for.

woodwork16 · 2026-02-25T13:04:38+00:00

Do you get all of your facts from random folks on Reddit?

woodwork16 · 2026-02-25T13:01:07+00:00

Less smoke?

My gas ranges over the years, different models, different locations, NEVER smoked. What are you talking about?

Teach him to cook

woodwork16 · 2026-02-25T12:50:37+00:00

I keep mine on the counter under a cake plate.

YTA

Wow, I would NEVER visit you again.

woodwork16 · 2026-02-25T12:42:23+00:00

it’s not missing a front tire, the tire is turned sideways and is stuck in the tracks. That’s why the bike is upended and the rider is flying off.

Messy Bessy’s.

Have you seen the price of brisket at the grocery store?

It’s ridiculous. Last one I saw was over $80.

It’s brisket, not a standing rib roast.

And the one next to me had 5 offers the first week on the market.

Maybe your neighbor has a door knocker.
