Also TIL, Tritan was developed by Eastman Chemical, the HQ of which is in a town not far from where I grew up. Old stomping grounds and the like. Good God if the wind was blowing the wrong way, the chemical factory would stink up the entire town. It didn’t help there used to also be a paper pulp Mead plant there too, but Eastman was the biggest stinker.
Btw, LOVE your user name! I call my trusty roadies sippy cups too. I have a shoe organizer full hanging on the pantry door. It’s hard to resist an ultra cute sippy cup.
That could be more your detergent than the machine. If you use Dawn Platinum, that stuff removed the screen print ink off my pub glasses. That’s how they can say you don’t have to prerinse with it. Because it’s just dissolving everything indiscriminately. It sure got the dishes squeaky clean, I’ll give it that.
I’ve switched back to basic Palmolive detergent.
Wonder when they changed the formula. Red is 22 years old. Maybe one of the OGs?
His O sigh when he gets down in the water always cracked us up.
Calling “Will It Blend”…!
Yes, I assumed the heat was the culprit too. They were on the top rack, the cycle was normal not pots & pans, and I never use the dryer feature. My hot water heaters are in the attic though where it’s a million degrees despite an attic fan heroically trying to provide some ventilation. I don’t even need to have the water heaters turned on this time of year. When we first moved here a few years back in June, it took us 4 months to notice that the previous owner had turned the heaters off. I thought we had normal hot water all summer!!
This made me laugh pretty good. Delightful!
Lollll, I love the name!
For those not getting the joke, mill ends are the scrappy imperfect remnants at the end of manufacturing a batch of yarn, cloth, carpet, etc. One can usually buy them at a nice discount from the factory or a distributor.
Oh, I thought you meant that the two interstates overlapped. Not that one is south when the other is north both going in the same direction. That’s neat!
Here I am a lifetime Virginian, with uncountable trips through Wytheville, and never realized this.
Same with I-81 and I-64 between Staunton and Lexington. :)
Speaking of blinding, my honey used to think a different song went “she blinded me with oven mitts, it opened up my eyes”
That thing looks like a Fremen sandworm saxophone
My mom’s exasperated “shit a fiddle!” when fed up with something / something broke. When I was younger, she didn’t really say curse words around me except for this.
I’ve never heard any one else ever say this. Not in Appalachia, or anywhere. She probably made it up herself. But in the 80s she also dated a Korean War fighter pilot/POW (crashed, survived, & captured, unsure of release details). And he could have had a creative catalog of swears that she borrowed from.
I love this! What is the language? Danish, Swedish, or am I totally off base?
I’m now inspired to make a cross stitch of this accordingly.
That’s pretty common in my area. Tell your wife she needs to get out more!
You can mix it up by saying “six of one, baker’s dozen of the other” and see if she catches on.
I am in Virginia. My Lidl has good traffic but isn’t crowded, so I don’t come home cranky like I do from the big American grocery stores. I primarily go for the meat section (and the fun random household goods section) but it has enough of my other regular products that I can usually keep my other store visits down to once a month. It feels like I’m shopping while on holiday in Europe. And let’s not forget they stock wayyyy better chocolate.
Maybe I haven’t bought truly massive “butts”. 😅 They fit in my 11" vacuum sealer roll (also from the Aldi aisle). I shop in Lidl more now but I still see circulators and vacuum sealers in the middle aisles every so often.
That’s just like your opinion dude
(maybe I prefer crockery)
