- my old college roommate's mom used to put the milk and butter for boxed macaroni and cheese in a measuring cup on the stove while she waited for the water to boil and I thought she was overcomplicating things and dirtying unnecessary dishes to boot but turns out, when you do that, the butter softens up nicely and it makes it a lot easier and quicker to stir the milk and butter into the cheese powder. Thanks, Tina's mom. You were right all along.
- when safety razors came back into vogue I started using them to shave my legs because it's cheaper they are supposed to be sharper and all around better and an older woman on another message board I used to frequent was like "that is crazy talk, safety razors will cut your legs to ribbons, I know because those used to be the only razors available. Use the fancy lady razors." After nine years of nicking hunks of skin out of the back of my heels and shaving skin ribbons off my shins, on a whim I used a coupon for a Venus razor and holy shit, it shaves better and I have to try really hard to cut myself. Michelle, you were totally right.
