I have never had a problem with waste from scooping but I have the perfect size and shape spoons and I am also usually making guacamole so anything that might get left behind on the first scoop just gets scraped out anyway.

If I want slices I slice them before scooping and can then scoop out nice clean slices.

I was back home visiting my family last year and I noticed my mom struggling with an avocado. She had the skin about half peeled off and was trying to hold onto the slippery inside while peeling the rest of the skin off in little chunks. I asked her what she was doing and she answered “peeling the avocado” like it was some ridiculous question. About this time my wife noticed what was going on and started cracking up laughing. She finished peeling and awkwardly slicing it while we discussed the fact that we had never seen anyone do it that way and on the next one we showed her the “cut it in half, remove the pit, and scoop it out” method. She was blown away. Apparently she has just always peeled them and never questioned if there was an easier way.

Could be worse.

Is that why my wife’s pixel suddenly dims then slowly brightens repeatedly even when the light is not changing?

The Interrupters cover of “Bad Guy” and the Hailstorm cover of “Get Lucky” are 2 of my favorites.

I have 2 cars, a CX-50 and a '91 Miata. I feel no kinship with other CX-50 drivers but Miata drivers I definitely do, especially NAs and NBs.

When I got my first car my grandmother told me “don’t do anything to it that makes it stand out to the police.”

This may be me being a bit pedantic but “1985” is a SR-71 song. They wrote it and did the original recording. The Bowling for Soup version came out 2 months after the SR-71 version. It is one of those songs that the cover is so much more popular than the original most people don’t realize that it is a cover.

A couple from a co-worker:

If you don’t have time to do it correctly now, what makes you think you will have time to fix it later.

Remember, you are not stuck in traffic, you are traffic.

And a couple from my grandmother:

Don’t study drunk, but if you do at least be a little tipsy when you take the test.

Don’t do anything to your car to make it stand it to the police.

My standard is a mix of plain Greek yogurt and plain “American?” yogurt with hemp, chia, and flax seeds, cinnamon toast crunch, and wheat checks all mixed together. A lot of times I will also do a banana, spinach, ginger, and tumeric protein smoothie.

I work at hight and one of my secrets is that I am afraid of heights, I am just really good at turning off the part of my brain that says what I’m doing is a terrible idea.
