Mom: Honey, we have ninja turtles at home you can watch any time you want, we don’t need to go see the movie.

Ass, ass, or ass, no one rides for free.

Did anyone else get in school suspension?

Yes, though my memory of it is kind of limited all these years later.

It was a case of collective punishment. At least that third and final time the bus was late, it was because a number of the kids on the same route took too long to get on the bus and get settled, which caused us to be late. Some kids would wait to leave their house until they saw the bus or heard the horn beep. So, I guess they decided to punish everyone, for reasons.

I don’t even think it was literally everybody that rode the bus, because some of the kids’ parents would/could drop them off at school any time the bus was late or not running. But that wasn’t an option for me.

Tastes just the same.

It loses some of its crispness, so you wouldn’t necessarily substitute frozen / thawed celery in a recipe that calls for raw / uncooked celery. Though, I have used the thawed stuff for things like potato salad and chicken salad before, which are things that typically use raw celery, and it still added enough texture and crunch to make it worthwhile.

But for things that involve cooking celery, like in soups, stir fries, and things along those lines, frozen works just fine for me. I don’t find any difference in taste or texture in the finished product, assuming that the frozen celery didn’t get freezer burned or go through multiple freeze/thaw cycles.

Most grocery stores in my part of the world sell frozen celery or at least frozen veggie mixes that include celery, so I’d say it’s a fairly common practice.

This is probably stretching the definition of strange, but I got in school suspension in middle school for having 3 tardies (aka arriving late to school). I rode the school bus to school each day, I had no control over whether I was late or not, so I find it strange to be punished for something like that.

Any of the “salads”: Tuna salad, chicken salad, egg salad, potato salad benefit from a little added celery, both as an added flavor component as well as for a little texture and crunch.

While I use celery in a lot of cooking, I tend not to be able to use an entire bunch of it before it goes bad. So, whenever I buy it, I use what I can, and then I chop the rest up and freeze it. Then I can pull out what I need for cooking purposes at my leisure, and I don’t end up wasting much celery.

All the options you mentioned for eating the celery raw are great. I’d also add cream cheese to that list.

If they couldn’t get a login reset sent to their email, then that’s broken.

How is that in any way relevant to the situation I am talking about, though?

If they have to create a new email account just for you, that’s bullshit, too.

While I would agree, that also seems irrelevant to my situation. Tell you what, seems like there are some misunderstandings, miscommunications, and/or incorrect assumptions being made here. Rather than me having to completely rewrite what I wrote previously based on guesses about where those misunderstandings may lie and which incorrect assumptions are being made, let’s just schedule a quick call.

I’m mostly this way, but not today.

I had someone with an issue signing up for an account mention that they were not successful because when they tried to sign up, they got a message that they weren’t eligible because there was already an account using that email address.

I told them if they have a Gmail account, just use the + addressing feature, otherwise, just create a Gmail account.

Someone else responded on the first person’s account “But they don’t have Gmail, so they can’t do it.”

Let me tell you, THIS is a situation where a call is necessary. There’s nothing I can type that will suddenly unravel the layers here and that won’t lead to more layers being laid. It will be 100000000000000% easier and less time consuming to schedule a meeting/call and talk through this than it would be to continue this discussion in text format.

Glad to see I’m not the only old person in this thread. Also glad I read the thread and didn’t retype the same comment as others.

If you’re hot, it’s A-OK. If you’re not, then it’s creepy. This is how it do be.

TV shows and movies are art. Eliciting an emotional response is kind of art’s thing. Maybe not all art, but that’s neither here nor there.

They already sell Queso Chihuahua and I personally do not ask from whence it came. For fear of having my ankles bitten.

I’m surprised at your age you can hear anything. 🧓

Sure. Sometimes things touch your soul when you’re open to it or vulnerable.

I’m trying really hard not to comment something like “Welcome to one of many, many joys of living with an immature teenage child.”

Kicking the ice under the fridge is actually one of the least aggravating of the shitty things to do in the kitchen, but so indicative of what type of person they are. Other well-known classics include leaving a microscopically small portion of milk in the carton to avoid having to rinse the thing out and place it in the recycle bin and using the last clean cup in the cabinet so that you don’t have to bring one of the dozen+ dirty cups you’ve accumulated in your room to the kitchen to be cleaned for reuse. Oh, and let’s not forget drop a spoon of peanut butter the floor and leave it for the dog to clean up even though you know she’s allergic to it so it makes her throw up and then later on causes a bunch of skin issues for her.

No, I’m not the least bit bitter. Why do you ask?

Riding the bussy and she’s got cheeks for weeks. Safety first.

Duh. If they let you see how it’s done, then you’ll know how to do it yourself. And once you know how to do it yourself, you won’t need to buy one of their expensive machines every time you want to wash dishes.

Also, things like this can result from not providing a supportive environment where queer persons and their allies feel comfortable enough to unmask and freely discuss why “bussy” probably isn’t the best terminology to use in external communications.
