Easy Sunday: Choosing fruit. Loading the dishwasher.

Does your partner load the dishwasher correctly?

My wife does. Apparently I don't.

We don't argue about where I put dishes and cups. She just changes whatever I do. 


I stumbled upon this 30-second video on YouTube.

The husband in this video seems amused.  The wife seems happy to be choosing the fruit. As goes John Lennon's line in that dreamy, soft-focus, everything-is-OK song, "Strawberry Fields Forever," it's nothing to get hung about.

Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone, but it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me . . . .
And nothing to get hung about

Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin’s romantic partner was “transitioning from male to female,” according to CNN.

On Saturday, NBC News reported information had surfaced–and was confirmed–indicating the alleged assassin had a transgender partner and that Kirk was shot while answering questions re: trans shooters.

If a husband says something in the forest and nobody hears, is he still wrong?

My grandmother was an outstanding woman and homemaker/domestic goddess. She also had various jobs outside the home during her lifetime, including working for the railroad. She held down the fort, so to speak, during the Great Depression and WW II.

I heard that she said, "If I want it done right, I will do it myself." Also, "If at first you don't succeed, try reading the directions." Appliances come with manuals or instructions. Also, so-called women's magazines, such as Good Housekeeping, have always provided a plethora of tips and best practices. Consumer Reports is another helpful resource.

For the best results, it's really not difficult to do things the right way 🙂

Your favorite domestic goddess and businesswoman (and a former stockbroker) Martha Helen (Kostrya) Stewart is the gold standard for homemaking and gardening. MS knows best.

Life is too short to worry about loading the dishwasher “correctly”. Just remember that there’s always room for one. more. thing.

Alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson appeared to have a fixation on furries — while his live-in transgender boyfriend espoused support for Joe Biden and joked about being mentally ill, according to social media posts linked to the pair.

Lance Twiggs, 22, an aspiring pro gamer and Robinson’s roommate, appears to have made a comment in a 2022 Reddit post stating, “We are riding with Biden on this glorious subreddit.”

Twiggs, whose family appears to be conservative Christians based in Utah, is transitioning from male to female and was in a relationship with with the 22-year-old Robinson, Gov. Spencer Cox confirmed Sunday.

Best practices for best results. People have different standards, from low to high.
