Toilet paper only goes on horizontal rollers with the flap facing down in the front of the roll. No more feeling the back of the roll to find the loose end.

My cat wants to move in with you for some reason
I have had cats for years and never had this issue outside early kittenhood. Interesting.

The proper spelling is indeed Rebekah. Also, chili is eaten over rice or mashed potatoes and always has beans. All cats have an infinite amount of names, none of which they respond to and most of which are very situational.
- No opinion, so OK
- Criminal, and also a sign that someone has never had Cincinnati Chili
- Truth
Cincinnati Chili
I've never had Cincinnati Chili but would like to. Point a fella at a decent recipe?

I normally would have balked at the mashed potatoes suggestion, but I made a 13 bean soup with a creamy potato base recently and then I made chili with the leftovers and it was godly.
a 13 bean soup
Just a small portion then?

For close to 20 years now my wife and I have bought twin sized flat sheets and blankets for our king bed. We're both blanket hogs and now we get to be by not sharing. People used to look at us like we were crazy when we mentioned it, but I hear more and more people doing it and even saw and article calling it the "Scandinavian method" or something else pretentious sounding.
We've been doing it so long I feel like we invented it, even though that's a silly idea. But I am half Scandi so, you know, maybe it was named after me.
As a Finn, "scandinavian method" sound hilarious, though technically we're not part of Scandinavia. And yea, ofcourse people have their own blankets. You don't share a pillow either ..right?

Why do people buy stuff they don't need because they saw it on an ad? You know it's bad in every way, if you don't need it, don't buy it.
Nobody is allowed to say "eepy" anymore.
"Eepy" really bugs me because that's not how sound change happens in linguistics. It's very rare to drop the initial consonant of a word let alone a constant cluster. I would expect something more like "sweepy" since swapping L and W sounds is common or "seepy" as the L fades away completely.
However, I think it would go in the other direction and people would add an initial E sound to make "esleepy". This phenomenon can be seen in French loan words like estate (state), esquire (squire), escrow (scroll - bonus points for L to W).
Uhhhh, words are my special interest lol
Extra points for petty, minor things.
Fine.

How do you turn it up to 11?
Only using even numbers for volume or brightness.
Can 5 be an honorary even number?
Fine, those are okay. But I still prefer 16 over 15.
But even numbers aren't primes!
Your way is now the right way.
Oh well, but it is my way.
Even numbers are so six-a-dozen.
