I'm quite amused OP posted a picture of harvested pineapples instead of one that shows how the whole plant looks like. Wasn't that the whole point of OP's post?

And OP, you can grow a new pineapple plant by cutting off the top an planting it.

I had a pre-planning appt scheduled at a funeral home the other day to discuss cremation. Not only didn't I know funeral home directors hard sell like used car salesmen, but I also learned some things about the cremation process I'd never thought about. All said and done a cremation at this one (the nicest one in town) would be $2435, and that would include shipping me back East in an urn to my family.

THANK YOU, R8. That makes perfect sense. The flour and butter works somewhat but not perfectly.

Holy shit. I just read about grease sugar and they're right.

Love that. I had a friend who was attending a musical in New York with her mother. Mom's eyes got dry so she reached into her purse (in the dark) and put some eye drops in. Did I say "eye drops"? I meant SuperGlue, which Mom uses to repair her chipped fingernails.

Much drama ensued, although Mom lived to see another day.

[quote]It's gross but a lot of households put toilet paper in the waste basket

Indeed gross, but some houses with very old/bad plumbing systems can't handle TP very well. Lots of calls to plumbers will ensue.

What's really awkward is that you have to post a sign if you want your guests to do the same (I saw one at my husband's great-aunt's house in the middle of the country). "Please throw your poopy TP in this trash can?" WTF?

My grandma had one of those TP signs too r70 only she was too cheap to buy TP or use much water.
