I eat the skin of regular kiwi's. Am I not supposed to?

I have a whiteboard in my kitchen. Amongst other things, on it I keep a list of perishable foods that we have on hand. When I am trying to figure out what I am going to cook, I can look at the list and not have to think about every ingredient I own, And only focus on things that will go off soon. I usually don't include the common items we tend to go through often.

Sometimes I also include leftovers that need to be finished, and unusual ingredients I bought impulsively because I thought I wanted to try making something new but than lost focus/motivation to actually make something with them.

It's not a great system, but it helps me waste less.

I don't really know what the legality of this is. The best explanation I can come up with is: Texas.

Last time I was in TX, one of my favorite food trucks had a sign that said "no longer excepting cash payments". I laughed at the grammatical error, but was still a little sad about losing the option to pay with real money. It wasn't hipster at all, but I guess the clientele was.

Anyway, yes. I see your point but a lot of places realize they have to get modern or fail. It makes me sad to think about.

Find a purpose that motivates you. For some people that is exploring, for others it is expressing themselves creatively, or helping people, or fighting for a cause you believe in, or trying to make the perfect baked potato.

I don't know your specific limitations. Perhaps there is motivation in overcoming them, or helping others so they won't have them too?

You were a little sparse with details, and I trust you have your reasons. Depending on this situation this advice could be pretty insensitive. My goal is not to offend or upset. I hope I haven't.

Fun fact: the word "spaceman" was originally used to described a journalist who was paid by how much space they could fill. Quoting etymonline com: "journalist paid by the length of copy".

It didn't get used to describe a person from space until the the 1940s.

I respect the concern, but if you already ate the bacon that left you with the fat, hasn't a fair amount of the damage already been done?

It's also called redundancy.

Transfered some homemade beer into bottles, and started sewing some outfits for a Renaissance faire.

We just adopted a dog, and my 6yo son wanted to hold the leash on a walk. I told him if he wants to hold the leash than he is responsible for picking up the poo if he makes any. The dog pooped, my son grumped about having to pick it up, and was all "why do I have to do it?".

Points for him, he powered through and picked it up. About a minute later he said to me "actually dad, I kinda liked picking it up!". Now he wants to pick up the poo every time even if he isn't the one holding the leash.

Such a weird kid.

Such a weird idea. I want to try it.

I lived in NYC for a few years and never went to see the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, or really any of the iconic touristy things.

Why? No idea. Never seemed interesting to me.
