The merkin post inspired me to ask. What are the top 3 things you learned here? 1. You need to iron out the crotch buggies from garage sale underwear 2. Start thawing your turkey at least 3 days in advance of Thanksgiving 3. there is a woman out there that freely admitted she doesn't wash her hooha with soap and never had any complaints

Well, some of these are more life lessons:
1. To be absolutely clear about the things you type - leave nothing out, assume nothing about your audience. It has truly helped me be much clearer in my communications with others. 2. When to type, when to sit on your hands 3. that some people really like Parmesan cheese in green cans and I should never criticize it

When to type, when to sit on your hands 3. that some people really like Parmesan cheese in green cans and I should never criticize it We had a family get together last night. I served catering from a local Italian restaurant. I bought a nice, freshly grated Parmesan and Romano blend. Wouldn’t you know it, someone asked if I had the green can, lol, of course! And I put it on the table. Wouldn’t you know that stupid green can made the rounds of the table and the freshly grated blend never got picked up?

1) Bake your cupcakes or muffins at 50° higher temp than the recipe calls for for the first five minutes then drop the oven down to the stated temp for the rest of the bake time, and fill them 3/4 full for taller baked goods. 2) Instant Pots and air fryers are awesome 3) It’s pretty rare for the Peas to not collectively know something about everything. Bonus) If a previously unnoticed thread gets to 10 pages or more, grab a drink and a snack and get comfortable because you’d better start at the beginning.

1. The Peas know how rally around another pea who is going through something not so good.
2. The Peas can give you a crash course in any topic due to the wide range of careers, life experiences they have lived.
3. The Peas will tell it like it is

I love when I see one of those- it is either going to be really funny or an utter train wreck. 1. People have decorative towels that you aren't allowed to use. 2. Some people wash their sheets and towels every single day. 3. Unless you live in Ohio, Indiana, or Michigan, no one has heard of shredded chicken sandwiches. I love reading everyone's opinions, especially those people who live in a totally different culture than I do, whether that be Australia, France, California, or Texas. I've learned a ton of real, valuable stuff from the peas. I just remember the goofy stuff first. Oh my gosh, foot flushers! I never heard of such a thing until I read it here.

1. It’s possible some or one Pea thinks dogs don’t have brains 2. The ck mark by the gas tank inside indicates where your gas tank is outside 3. Don’t share pics of your new nice big expensive house or some Peas will pick it apart 4. If you are really sad or need help you can always come here and Peas will lift you up and help you with whatever problem you are having 4. Don’t expect the place to be open on thanksgiving day so you can pick up your turkey.

My favorite Two Peas tip is that if you turn your device on airplane mode, an over due ebook from the library will stay on your device until you turn airplane mode off. I keep an old Kindle just for this purpose.

Ooooh! Good thread!
1. The arrow on the gas gauge points to the side the gas tank is on.
2. Foot-flushing is a debatable topic.
3. People that don’t return their shopping carts are asshats!

1. That a sous vide is an absolutely amazing kitchen tool. 2. Back in the day I learned a lot (and my mind was opened) by posts from our Mormon peas, and others with conservative viewpoints. 3. To log out and read only if I'm in a "mood" or agitated by something going on here.

The one that actually made me spit out me coffee was what do you do to maintain your Lady Garden. Being a horticulturalist, I thought it was a garden for woman kind of like a man cave for men. OMG! I couldn’t believe how wrong I was!!! LOL!!! That was never a thing for my generation!!! I laughed and laughed, page after page!!!
I also learned about the arrow by the gas tank on the dashboard. I actually taught that to my husband!
Lastly, I’ve gotten so many great recipes from 2 Ps!!!

I am going to do a three part answer.
1) Generosity. So many peas help and give to pea members in need.
2) That I (and everyone) has the option to not respond, engage or participate.....in regards message board posts and life and people in general. I can pick and choose how I spend my emotional, mental, physical energy and my time.
3) That is okay to not be okay. It's okay to reach out for support. That I am not alone in dealing with lifelong issues and baggage. There is always someone who can relate and understand, and who remind me that "this too, shall pass".
1) All about so many scrapbook products.
2) Weighted blankets
3) Flexitol heel balm
1) Some people don't want advice, suggestions, guidance, or input, etc... They only want others to validate them and tell them that they are right.
2) Some peoples primary intention......is to stir the proverbial pot, inflame, aggravate, provoke and pick fights.
3) Some people excel at back-peddling, adding more bits to the story, changing the story, rebuttal, making excuses, twisting words and sentences, making something out of nothing. Abandoning and ignoring a thread, when it doesn't go their way.

As a Canadian, I have been educated on so many different ways of doing things, life in America and so much more! 1) That USA peas think that a smartie is actually what we call "Rockets". Smarties are made (originally by Rowntree) Nestle and are better than M&M's because they melt in your mouth. UK, Aussie & Canadian peas know the chocolate ones are tastier. 2) The many different recipes and dishes that seem to be in certain areas and the different names that mean the same thing. 3) Graduation parties from High School and the big hoopla that graduating from High School is. Not a thing in my area nor has it been since 1965. No open houses, no gifts, nothing because it is generally assumed that you do graduate from high school and then have a further education. Even University graduation isn't a big celebration, that I am aware of. 4) How anal people get if you park in front of their house, if you are not visiting them. 5) Parking in front of a mailbox. Houses here have small mailboxes either at their main door or in cluster boxes in the sub-division. Mail is delivered in person, usually on foot and not by a little car that drives on the wrong side of the door. 6) The variety that is available in absolutely everything! 10 or more kinds of TP and other items. 7) That people actually eat that grey coloured sausage gravy 8) Thanksgiving is more important than Christmas and some other peas think that Hallowe'en is ever a bigger holiday/celebration. In Canada, we celebrate Thanksgiving on the second Monday of October. This is because the Canadian Thanksgiving is closely linked to the harvest festival we are more familiar with in the UK. 9) Aussie's use a bit more of a colourful language and use different words to describe things. The Aussie food is more complicated than the food in North America. 10) A lot of personal stuff in the USA politics. No one in Canada really cares about the family (well, Trudeau excepted ) I don't even know who the Conservative Party (Pierre Poilievre) wife is or how many children he has. Who cares? 11) Religion doesn't really play a part in our Canadian politics. 12) Teachers are not paid very well in some parts of the USA. Strong unions with teeth and teachers have excellent pay and benefits. Probably more to come ......

Just the shampoo suds rinsing down and that's it! No cloth, just the passive action of some shampoo suds. But hey, if her hubby likes it, the pheromones must be working.

1. Crock pot liners (I am in the 'best thing ever' camp.) 2. A lot about the challenges of public educators and raising children - things I have little to no personal experience with 3. No matter how sure you are that you are right, someone will be equally sure you are wrong.

Vegetables in jello is a thing, actually discovered outside of a jello salad thread. Still doesn’t compute.

1) i am not alone in being a public toilet FOOT flusher and it's okay
2) peas are very supportive to those going through a bad marriage, have a sick parent, or dealing with a death in the family (human or pet)
3) peas love a good scandal (bird-gate, hair flip-gate, any kind of -gate)

1. Even something I think is benign to post or comment will cause so much drama!! 2. The best audience is here and you will get a LOT of opinions. 3. The homecoming giant flower and ribbon things in TX. I literally had NO idea they existed!!
