That’s pretty smart! Would be a good travel size. I like the nostalgia of a cookie tin but yeah, not very portable.

Don’t forget to pick up a tin of cookies at the dollar store when you get your kit. You get snacks and a place to store your sewing supplies that is needle-poke-proof.

They didn’t get their start shooting college students!

Tree frogs like to hang out on my windows at night (aka the bug buffet). And the cats absolutely love to watch them. If one gets within arm’s reach, they will try to swat it, not realizing of course the frog is on the outside.

One time a frog did sneak inside and found out that the air conditioning wasn’t worth the death wish.

Now it makes sense why cocktails have little umbrellas! They’re summoning spirits!

I think all kids should be cautioned to not believe a single thing their uncles tell them.

That’s just like your opinion dude

(maybe I prefer crockery)

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?

Calling “Will It Blend”…!

Perhaps, but I would be too hard on glass bottles while I’m adventuring.

These were free swag though at a volunteer thank you party. I’m only upset that I can no longer covertly signal to the other local volunteers that I’m part of the club. 😄

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!!

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. :)
