If you loved the look of your “good china” and wanted to enjoy it every day, but couldn’t afford to replace broken or chipped or worn-down pieces all the time, displaying it was safer than using it every day. You could eat off the same old plate, whether it’s a damaged part of the set or something else entirely, while looking at the pretty ones you’re not having to wash (or even dust often, if behind glass). Then for big fancy gatherings you’d have enough nice ones for everyone.
Edit: Looking at OP’s picture brings me memories of long-ago college parties, so it’s a similar reminder of good times with good friends that old grandmas might get from looking at their china case.
I enjoy Earl Grey tea plain, but I can’t call it “black,” even though it’s “black tea.” Because it’s orange-ish brown. 🐈
Black coffee is much blacker 🐈⬛
True, but also the consequences of living homeless in New England would force you to either come up with some kind of way to afford shelter or move south. Whereas more homeless people die on the streets in California than you might expect, but the perception is that you can live outdoors safely all year. So there’s less incentive to scrape together enough money for a home.
Add to that, very few people move to New England with a crazy idealistic view of their opportunities to make it big. If they move there at all, it’s because they have a job lined up. Dreamers crash and burn in California every day.
Did it, though? My 90 year old mother used it in the same way since her childhood. I think it’s always been sarcastic, probably from use by lowly soldiers. In the phrase, she pronounces and spells it as “gummint work” even though she would normally say “government.”
If you get to the Pearly Gates as a fat mole rat, point out to St Peter that with climate change and rising ocean levels, Heaven may need your attributes soon.
It’s just the spiders under your skin.
But maybe it’s the nerves or capillaries that run through the layers of fat and skin, as walking shakes them up and gets the blood pulsing through. Even in fit people the skin shakes a little as it slides back and forth over the moving muscles. Once you get into a serious workout, there’s too much other sensation from the muscles and tendons, and the blood vessels are as busy and hopefully open as they’re going to get.
Bear in mind I have no actual idea, just speculating.
Cringing means you’re better now than you were then.
Besides, after seeing the debate, the sense of doom is going to keep me up all night anyway.
Obviously society is broken, and guns are doing a lot of the breaking. The people teaching these classes agree about that as well. But they’re not in a position to fix that. They’re trying to use the skills they have to mitigate one part of the fuckedness. Maybe two parts: a kindergartner could perhaps save their friend’s life one day, and in the meantime they’re already having justified nightmares about shootings, so maybe the lesson will let them turn those dreamstories in a slightly better direction.
Train station cat has so many people to judge
It could only help.
Feels pretty scary to the parent as well
Permanently, possibly.
It was actually cleaning companies that worked after hour and used children in cleaning slaughterhouses. Which is of course terrible and dangerous. (Slightly less traumatic than actually killing the animals but still inexcusable.)
I’m not recommending it. It was what I was referring to as dystopian.
But even in my childish '60s childhood there was a bicycle accident where knowing something to do about stopping bleeding would have helped both the other kid and me.
Having been in life-or-death medical situations since then, it’s a lot less mentally traumatic if you know something you can do and focus on trying to do it right, instead of trying to figure out from scratch what if anything you could do.
Rather than me copypasting a link, you Google
“Child labor slaughterhouses”
and pick a news source that works for you. (Because NYT works for me but might give you a paywall, whereas CNN pops up a bunch of irritating ads for me, for instance.)
Sewing is the legit reason for irons.
How come it tried to send me to make a left onto a major thoroughfare from a tiny side street rather than the major one with a controlled left arrow (a blessed rarity in my city) a few blocks away? Yeah maybe someone did it and scraped a few seconds off their time because they got lucky with the cross traffic, but someone who doesn’t know the area is gonna get tboned.
What I want is specifically “no left turns.” Because that could actually save me time. “Fewer 🚦s” and “no dangerous instructions” would also be good.
I expect a lot were raised as such by their parents/community, which isolates them from society as a whole. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out once they get exposure to other mindsets. And gurls.
Just because your queerness is less easily depicted, it’s no less valid.
