Last night ... & today I learned that if you go to replace your inline water filter & the o ring seal is wore out, you'll have no water in the house until properly replaced.

Nah. Today you learned to always keep a tube of gasket maker handy.

Today I learned traffic in Cleveland at 230pm on a Friday while towing a skid loader sucks. Could have been worse for sure. Could have been 4pm or 5pm.

Also learned if you just wing it on the way home and then try to use your phone to navigate. . . .You might have been better just winging it. Think I went from Cleveland to Findlay via San Antonio.
 
Today I learn how big of bitches most chicks are to each other. While out at a restaurant with the Jessie i observed how women looked at and at how they communitcated non verbally with each other or in passing. Fake smiles dirty looks sneers comments about what the other chick was wearing or whatever were the norm. I wasnt naive enough to believe otherwise. However this is the first time ive actually taken time to watch this most fascinating interaction between the "gentler" sex.

Stay tuned Archer. You just paid attention to the back cover. Flip it over and you will find the book has endless pages and chapters. "Jeer, snarl, cackle, whisper whisper behind the back. (Girl walks in on conversation.) Smile, higher pitched friendly voice, superficial and fake hellos." My wife loves her work at the hospital. She left 10yrs in sales in a male dominated field to become a nurse. She dealt with cheuvanistic, a-holes and harassment in the male dominated sales world but she expected it and ignored it. It is hard for her to escape the drama in the medical field. There are some mean and fake women out there. (Men too.) She loves her work but has to work hard to avoid drama and catty train wrecks. They aren't all like this. Just seems like they feed on each other in the medical field.

I think the only time their "gentler side comes out is when it is for their offspring, otherwise bitches be vicious!

TIL that Kroger only sells the flats of a brisket because people wont buy the point because of the additional marbling and most of the prime beef Kroger gets only sells on clearance because people thinks its an inferior cut due tothe visibly increased marbling.

Why do we serve lemon with fish?

The custom of serving a slice of lemon with fish dates back to the Middle Ages. It was believed that if a person accidentally swallowed a fish bone, the lemon juice would dissolve it.

I do sometimes wash my hands with lemmon juice after cleaning a mess of fish. Absolutely kills the smell.
