Have you tried dry shampoo? It helps to extend the time between hair washing.

Better start stocking up on leeches- next he'll be promoting the 4 humours theory.

Get yourself a vacuum sealer for foods you can repack and freeze (ie: meat), and get items you need smaller quantities of at a local grocery store. Costco's pharmacy has a very low filling fee, and the optical department has great prices. And, of course, you can get paper products.

I live in a 2 person household and use whichever is most sensible for what we need. In this economy, value for our money is important.

A teacher should not be bringing or consuming edibles on the job. It is negligence and something you can lose your employment and license over. The fact that students ate them makes it worse, but it was never okay to have them at work to begin with.

Canada phased out the penny from 2013-2013. It was an adjustment, but it was not chaos. Pennies of certain periods are still taken as legal tender and accepted by banks.

Per Wikipedia:

"Cash transactions in Canada are now rounded to the nearest multiple of 5 cents.[54] The rounding is not done on each individual item, but on the total amount, with totals being rounded to the nearest multiple of 5, i.e., totals ending in 1 or 2 round down to 0, totals ending in 3, 4, 6, or 7 round to 5, and totals ending in 8 or 9 round up to 10.[54] This is typical of cash rounding methods (not specific to Canada). While existing pennies will remain legal tender indefinitely, those in circulation were withdrawn on February 4, 2013.[55][48][56]

Based on technical specifications provided by the Mint Act, only pennies produced from 1982 to their discontinuation in 2013 are still legally "circulation coins".[57] The Currency Act says that "A payment in coins [...] is a legal tender for no more than [...] twenty-five cents if the denomination is one cent."[58] Nevertheless, once distribution of the coin ceased, vendors were no longer expected to return pennies as change for cash purchases and were encouraged to round purchases to the nearest five cents.[59] Goods can still be priced in one-cent increments, with non-cash transactions like credit cards being paid to the exact cent.[60] "

You can supplement light with growing lights. Grass requires both moisture and light to be successful.

That looks like a nice pen to use! It has some class and functionality.

TIL Americans still sign for credit card transactions.

Canada had moved over to chip reader machines by 2012. Now that tap payments are common, I don't even have to enter my PIN under a certain amount. I haven't signed for a credit card transaction for over 10 years.

Interestingly enough, I looked this up recently in my not AI mushroom field guide.

OP might find that some plant saucer/drip trays would be a suitable solution.

 

(Not my cat)

Met this cat in my strata complex today chilling on some steps. It was largely indifferent, until my camera was ready and some screaming children were running its way. Even then it didn't run away! Hopefully I will have the opportunity to make this cat's acquaintance again.

I've had most these for 1-2 years and love how crazy they look.

I thought it was just another leaf growing, but to my surprise it was a bloom stalk. It lasted less than 24 hours before expiring, and a second opened up. It's always cool to get surprise blooms!

 

Saw this guy chilling on my deck railing, and as soon as the camera came out, he struck this pose.

 

Not a social media post, so hopefully this is permitted. Canada is also home to sovcits, and this person is outright insane.

I also find it ironic that a sovcit wants a monarchy.

 

This floofy boi befriended me while on a walk around my strata. He's friendly and wants all the pets and scratches.

 

My lithops have been in various stages of splitting for the past few months. They have decided to show the process all in one pot! The potting medium is perlite.

 

I saved this plant from my office 6 months ago because it had nearly no leaves, and now she's green and growing in a unique way. If this is what healthy looks like, it's all good with me.
