Are there some movies or shows that give a decent enough idea of a slice of life in the area?
It would be great to have a more updated reference than the Frasier TV show.
We are an empty-nest couple visiting Seattle to evaluate a possible work relocation for a position in Everett. Where should we be looking for a nice suburb that will be an easy drive to Everett and not too inconvenient to drive into the city?
I have heard both Lynwood and Bothell mentioned- but I know nothing of either and have no opinions yet
I just want a nice, safe neighborhood where hopefully we can get into a low-maintenance condo
Hopefully with convenient amenities
Which spots should we check out?
For those on Diamox who ate taking it at a substantial dose (1000mg/day or more) for at least a year, have you had any issues with lifting off your nails? Such as polish chipping or peeling off super fast or acrylics not adhering well?
Diamox shifts our bodies into a slightly more acidic state. OPI's Bond-Aid is a dehydrator and a pH-balancer and it's the only thing that helps acrylic nails stick to my own nails.
I'm just wondering if this is a "me" problem or a Diamox problem.
Will polish or acrylics stick only with Bond-aid for you too, Diamox-taker?
My brows are sparse and need some filling and Taupe is the shade I need.
Non-fa-safe products trigger bad flaking in mt brows (ew!).
Know of any products available in Taupe shade that are safe?
Every time I find a product that's safe, they don't make Taupe, just blonde (too light) or light brown (too orange). Please help if you know one.
I like beans and toast.
I grew up in Canada, eating canned pork and beans. The sauce is tomato-ey.
I can buy canned pork n beans in the states, where I live now. They are the same thing to me.
They are different from BBQ beans or "baked" beans which are super sweet with molasses. They are not "Beanie Weenies" 😆 which is an actual brand name for canned beans with weiners (hot dogs).
My spouse says that the canned pork n beans in the UK, such as those that come with a fry-up, are totally different. Because the ones in Australia, where spouse lived for about a decade, are different, in their memory at least.
Neither of us has ever lived in the UK.
Are canned pork n beans in the UK the same as or different than the ones in Canada, the US, and Australia?
Update: Still no word from down under. Will the Aussie contingent please chime in?
I made 1 quart following the recipe here in the resources. I added enough sugar to yield 10% alcohol (200 grams, the equivalent of one cup).
I use "sugar in the raw" brand, the same that I use for regular booch brewing.
I'm using red star DADY (Distillers Active Dry Yeast) which cam handle up to 22% alcohol.
It has been kept inside a proofing chamber at 78 degrees F. A scoby has formed on top but much more slowly than in regular booch.
There was a nice ring of bubbles initially as fermentation seemed to start strong.
Now it's still very sweet three weeks later. Any advice? Is it as fermented as it's going to get? Should I just filter and bottle it and see how it goes? Hope that the residual sugar gets used up to make carbonation?
I don't like applying liquid foundation and prefer powder. However most loose powder foundation (typically mineral makeup, especially Bare Minerals) settles into fine lines and emphasizes the look of my already-huge pores. Many of them also look really shiny and I want matte.
I have had good esthetic results from pressed powder but it's been really hard to find one that's FA-safe. Has anyone found a FA-safe pressed powder foundation?
My kid just got a job as a food runner / expo at a restaurant.
I know what most kitchen positions are and thought that a food runner was kind of like a busser but for the plates going out instead of in.
But I don't know what an expo is responsible for. I thought that food runner was FOH but Expo is BOH I think, so I guess kiddo is BOH?
I know what a dishie, line cook, km, sous, cdc, etc. are. Not that they have the last two at the beach bar where kid works, lol. WTH is expo?
