Daughter overuses the word "like"

Posted by sleepytime on 12/13/25 at 2:14 pm

My teenage daughter uses the word "like" multiple times in every sentence and it's driving me bonkers. I've tactfully brought it to her attention several times, worked with her to slow things down but it seems as if it's just getting worse, akin to a Tourette's tick. It's so bad that it's hard to follow along with what she's saying. Is there anything that can be done?

re: Anyone have a glass eye or have intimate knowledge of someone who does?

I worked with a lady that had one, it was so well made that I didn't believe her when she told me she had a glass eye. She popped it out one day and that was that, lol. IIRC, it was minimal maintenance, about like contact lenses but a little bit more. On a side note, she was really ditzy, I used to tell her she was blind in one eye and blonde in the other.

Yes. Anyone that believes in that garbage was promptly weeded out.

If the hostess, cashier or any customer facing employee is having a phone conversation on their AirPods while also talking and interacting with me. You can kind of tell when they are talking to you because they'll look directly at you, maybe nod their head towards you and change the volume of their voice.

re: Best Turkey Injection Recipe for Frying

Posted by sleepytime on 11/27/25 at 8:11 am to Knuckle Checker

Tony's creole butter plus 3tbsp of bbq phosphates injected at least a day in advance. You can overcook the turkey and it's still very juicy. I had help cooking a few last weekend and one of the turkeys didn't get pulled until 175 degrees. It rested for about 2 hours, we cut it up and it was still very juicy and tender, much to our surprise.
You can tweak Tony's with other things, just don't inject stuff that burns easily like anything with sugar, milk solids, garlic, etc.

re: Can you have a Thanksgiving without canned cranberry sauce?

Posted by sleepytime on 11/27/25 at 7:51 am to BLUEY

I prefer ocean spray plain cranberry jelly out of the can. I find the texture of the cranberries in other versions too chewy and conflicts with cornbread dressing. To each his own I guess

re: OT Mechanics - Question about Motor Oil

Posted by sleepytime on 11/22/25 at 12:01 pm to TigerinKorea

There's a TSB for this. Get your PCM reflashed, change your pcv valve and switch to 5-30 plus a bottle of Liquid Moly MOS2 and check your levels every thousand miles to see if it improves. From what I remember, there was too much suction in the pcv system during deceleration and oil was being sucked past the rings. That and there were issues with the plasma coated cylinders. If it keeps burning oil, it's going to burn your cats up so you may want to consider trading it in.

Incorrect. That seems excessive for *anyone* with no prior criminal history based on the info available.

20 years seems insane and beyond punitive. Was he stalking the family or judge before court or something?

Tree companies pull trees over like this all the time, the problem is that rope wasn't rated for that kind of load or maybe was wore out. The right size rope would have pulled that tree over no problem

The Steak House because their steaks and pork chops are incredible. They use the same broiler Ruth's Cris uses so you get an excellent sear. I'd strongly recommend the pork chop, it's as good or better than anywhere I've been all over LA and TX.

Fresh markets pies are all excellent and they sell half pies. Their apple pie is as good as any homemade I've ever had. Their cherry pie is good if cherries are your thing.
