I was reading a food history book and found out the first written recipe for ice cream was from 1665.

I finally realized at the Portland Rose Garden that naming every single cultivar is a bit much.

Honestly, I was using a regular cotton round for my clients' toner for years. Switched to those reusable bamboo ones last month and the difference is wild.

My dad told me to get a credit card right after college

My dad gave me the opposite advice and I'm fine.

Showerthought: I saw a crew skip the back blocking on a long ceiling run

No backing on a 12-foot run? That's just asking for trouble. I can't believe a pro crew would skip that step. The crack is basically guaranteed. That access hole fix sounds like a total nightmare, way more work than just doing it right.

Seriously, what can a gauge show that live data can't?

Just did the math on how many eggs I've cracked in 10 years

Honestly, that's just the job. You could do the same math on how many onions you've diced or how many plates you've run. It's a big number, sure, but it's just the repetition of the work, not some special thing.

The day the floor drain decided to fight back

Oh man, that's a solid point... my buddy actually tried the snake first last month after his drain backed up. Thing is, it just pushed the clog further down the line, made a bigger mess. He ended up having to call someone anyway, @charles919. Sometimes it feels like you need the big guns right away, you know? But maybe he just didn't use the snake right.
