MerryBelle @averygirl72 Do you scrape and rinse food bits before putting them in the dishwasher? Do you wash pots and pans there? I guess you buy a special detergent for it?

We aren't even in April and we have 28 degrees Celsius. How is the weather in your place? This is really global warming. We usually had snow in March, but now there are almost 30 degrees Celsius. Tomorrow we will have again 28...

MerryBelle @dya80dya of course, it does. 35 is a big leap from 30.

Last Sunday my peace of mind is disturbed because one of my students in tutorial wants to stop just because I failed to tutor him this Sunday. The whole day Monday I don't feel well because I feel depress with that issue....

MerryBelle @averygirl72 I hope you can put up the sign soon on both sides of the door. That way, you can see it and remember every day.

I didn't even know what that meant. But apparently, in the US, Walmart wanted "to create a less stimulating environment for those with sensory disabilities." This means they "changed the TV walls to a static image, turned off...

MerryBelle Yeah. If regular folks like me can get distracted/annoyed by them, what more those who are hypersensitive/hyperaware/hyperstimulated by them?

Before the end of June this year, the concern brought people into a debate about where to put the ketchup in the fridge or cupboard. That makes citizens on social media separated by their opinions. To stop the issue, Kraft Heinz...

MerryBelle @Shavkat I agree. During the rainy season, like now, and during the colder months (Dec to Feb), I don't worry about leaving even food on the kitchen table because I know it won't spoil immediately.

I changed my therapist and I chose a woman. She keeps asking me questions again and again. I am depressed and so tired of answering questions. She doesn't seem to read my answers. She keeps asking and asking. I had three sessions...

MerryBelle There's a heavy emphasis on appearance in customer-facing jobs, but the truth is, you can look good, but not really a people person or problem solver. I used to think flight attendants need to be a certain height to help with overhead bags, but turns out,...

MerryBelle True. I remember ads where females should be at least 5'2", males 5'6". I thought times have changed and we've become more inclusive, but apparently not.

It's nice to hear an old song, especially when it's the easy listening kind - not too fast, not too slow - so non-singers like me can sing along to it. Sweet Baby is a song by Stanley Clarke and George Duke...

MerryBelle Good to know you know it, too. Some songs, singers, bands from other countries become big hits here, but not where they're from.

MerryBelle @yoalldudes If she decides to live on her own, who will cook, clean and wash? If she decides to "outsource" them all, she will have to work non-stop to pay for them all, or start charging them on credit cards or getting cash advances. Or expect you to help...

MerryBelle It was suggested by others that it's because black feels sexier. I prefer beige/skin tones.

MerryBelle I could understand if the fabric was difference. It never occurred to me that you're paying extra for the "feels."
