My 2 revelations in the past 24 hours.

1) my Labrador took a dump in my front yard last night as it was dark with some rain and as
I was getting my flashlight and poop bag together and then I realized that the shit would be there in the
morning. And it was. 🌈

B) it is very important to make sure that the heat is turned on under the food you want to cook
if you want it to be ready to eat later.

3. Our toaster oven has a timer, so it shuts itself off. Mother, for some reason, turned the temp to zero as well.

So I go to toast something for a minute and it comes out cold, because I NEVER turn the temperature down, so I never even looked at the knob.

Your observation has been empirically confirmed again.


LEMMA: Filling the coffee maker produces no result if you do not remember to turn it on.

7. Turning it on is the key part of the equation. It's such an easy mistake. At least it appears to be to me.

I had a long wait for my cup of joe.
I put coffee in the machine and turned it on....
I forgot to put water in it.

Stick a little sign in the poop saying Dump Trump. (See photo in link). These were mysteriously showing up in various places. 😉

Simply because that's one of the best practices to prevent food-borne illnesses.
