Your "achievements" say you're an elder in this sub. So you're probably grandfathered in.

I almost always pack peanut butter, PBJ sandwich, or nuts for plane trips. It's a really great, shelf-stable source of protein and fats which makes it a really great travel food when you can't bring a cooler/ice pack.

Obviously I would keep it sealed if someone on the plane was allergic though. I'm not an AH.

We used to live in the neighborhood near that high school. It would be incredibly easy to get a gun on the street if he had some money.

What sort of ratio do you use for the citric acid powder and water in the kettle?

My family has a similar story. My great aunt kept her salt in the sugar shaker for some odd reason, so when my mom made a cup of coffee for my grandpa at great aunt's house, mom dumped in his usual portion of "sugar" from the shaker. Grandpa took a big gulp, spat it out, and (jokingly) accused my mom of trying to poison him. They went back to the kitchen and figured out that it was salt in the shaker.

He also quietly never let her make him a cup of coffee again for the rest of his life.

In the future, (and I hope this never happens to you again,) you can go ahead and put the screw into the hole in the pipe that you accidentally drilled and it will plug most of the flow of water and give you time to get to the shutoff with much less water damage.

I imagine you will always drill carefully and stop at the drywall and use a probe to check what's inside from now on though. Something like this sticks with you.

I had elaborate plans on how to surprise my husband each time and both times ended up just blurting it out when I left the bathroom. Haha.

And not to scare you, but if you have any more abdominal pain like that, I'd go get checked out by your OB or ER ASAP. Abdominal pain in early pregnancy can be a sign of ectopic pregnancy that needs immediate treatment so it doesn't risk your life.

If she didn't have cameras in the apartment before, she might have a hidden one in the bathroom now.

Have there been any proven covid cases caused by surface transmission? Last I checked, there weren't any documented cases.

I once told our bus driver in Spanish that I was horny instead of that it was warm in the bus and I was hot.

Oh, I didn't mean to get it professionally colored. You can go to a beauty supply store yourself - somewhere llike Sally's Beauty Supply - and buy the same type of color they would use in a salon. The developer is like $10 for enough to do several color treatments, and then the individual dyes (the color part) are typically around $4-8. If you have shorter hair, those can sometimes do 2 treatments.

The sales people working at my local Sally's have always been super helpful with their advice too. So even if you don't buy stuff, they could possibly point you in the right direction.

Either way, r/hairdye is a great resource. And if you use professional color rather than box dye, you can usually reverse it/color over it easier later. (And it's often cheaper per coloring than the box dye too depending on what you get.)

Before you go any further, go over to r/hairdye and get some advice on how to fix it. Because often times there's a way out if you're patient, but black dye all over is not going to be the best route to end up lighter again eventually. If nothing else, at least choose a semi-permanent rather than a permanent color.

In your zoom settings you should be able to set your default to join with mic off (and video off if you want that too.) That way you have to enable any talking or video yourself rather than being video/mic on as you join.

I always have mine muted by default and push to talk for any talking.

I had my car window smashed in a parking garage in Vancouver, BC. They didn't take any of the US cash or change, or the sentimental piece of art in the trunk. But they did take some backup diabetes meds and thyroid meds. Jokes on them if they took them hoping for a high.

I live in a new construction development that's still being built. They've definitely always got music on at all the in-progress houses. The flooring guys have especially good taste, and one of them can sing super well! You can hear him installing carpet and belting out 90s ballads from a block away.

Do you have a uterus? Because it sounds like you haven't had bad menstrual cramps before. I have PCOS and sometimes "menstrual cramps" is truly debilitating pain with basically no notice for me thanks to irregular cycles. I've had vomiting from pain, I've passed out from pain, etc. I was definitely not able to work in those conditions. Doctors blew me off for years and just told me it was "normal cramps." Thankfully it's finally diagnosed and I'm able to manage it better than I could as a late teen. But it should 100% be as much of an excuse to miss work as a cold, stomach bug, or other very painful condition.
