The ear tufts are strong with this one!

I’m guessing they basically made a second drive through line. They just need someone outside to walk the food out to the second line.

Yes!!!

Thank you for making me look out up! 😁

I’ve made obscene amounts of home make macaroni and cheese over the last 20+ years and haven’t had a problem with it. I know it’s a funny place some people get passionate about, but the “anti-clumping agents” are typically some form of vegetable starch or fiber. If I’m making a cheese sauce I’m already using flour to help thicken and stabilize it anyway, so I don’t think the trace amounts really matter.

I’d imagine that since our brains have to interpret all information (not just the sensory we are conscious of, but also incoming “status updates” from all of our anatomical systems) that it would be so confused with the lack of information it would be too over/underwhelmed to spare the energy for organized conscious thought.

My boyfriend’s first dog was able to be free fed and never overate. When he got a puppy, it would eat whatever it could find and ballooned up. The vet said if he just kept refilling the bowl, the dog would adapt to the fact that it would get enough to eat and learn to pace herself. Nope! She would eat, go vomit, then come back to eat more. Her brain is just wired different, so she’s on a very strict diet.

While I get your point, it didn’t read as supportive to me. To me it read as a statement of “this is what I observed” not “this is my judgement of the kind of person he is.”

Like if someone asked me what kind of person a coworker was. If my answer was “I saw them do their job” it can be a factual statement of my experience and really, isn’t necessarily helpful. It just means I didn’t witness them doing anything bad.

Edit - rereading as someone just posted a copy of the letter. While I can see some focus on positive interactions with his daughter, it still strikes me as a factual “this is what I observed” and far less the emotional supportive standpoint that bled through from some of the other letters that were submitted.

I think that was a smartly written letter from the standpoint that he told the truth of his observations from his perspective, but made no attempt to sway opinion of Danny’s character. Under the circumstances if you really feel compelled to submit a letter, it’s the honest way of doing it.

“You might have to look at different areas and consider the differences.”

Always, but there are certain factors that aren’t so pliable. Getting a loan based on your income at a stable job means that you need to live within a reasonable area to continue to access that job. Six years ago when I was looking for a house I could have moved to a lower cost of living area, but that would have meant a 90 minute commute or changing jobs (at which time would have been an irresponsibly risky move.) Another factor was the question of changing school districts, and custody arrangements with the kids father. I wasn’t, but I know some who are restricted by custody agreements where they are required to live in certain districts or within X number of miles of the other parent. People in those situations don’t get to shop around and find other areas to live.

Buying in a lower cost of living area is easier when you don’t have to consider things like school districts for children, availability of public transportation to get to work, or even safe walkable areas to get groceries.
