If you have a crotch rash, wear two pairs of underwear.

I think about doing this every time I do laundry. Never followed through though.

To continue with the egg fetish....

I don't have any problems cracking (either on a flat surface, or edge of bowl) as I think it is more about how you separate the egg. However, what does everyone do after cracking the eggs?

I usually set them on the counter and get the egg white everywhere. For whatever reason, I never remember to pull the trash can out ahead of time and I don't go back and forth after cracking each egg (My trash can is not near the stove and it is inside of a pantry) I put a paper towel down yesterday but it seeped though.

If I'm really lucky, I use the last of the eggs and I can just put them back in the container and throw the whole container away after I'm done.

I guess I should shoot them in the sink basketball style.

or dont give a crap that your socks dont quite match, either way works

garbage disposal?

Good guess.

first of all, who puts a trash can in a pantry? That would tilt the **** out of me. 2nd, put saran wrap on the counter to put the shells on. When you're done, wrap it up and chuck it in the trash. Bang, done. No mess. This is not rocket science ppl.

That sounds cool, but whenever I think to do this (maybe like 5 times lifetime or something), I always just assume that if I take out my phone and pretend to look at it for a little bit and then say I have to go in an exasperated way, I'm good. I really really hope that that's not really obvious....

For the record, I put the shells back in the egg carton until they are all gone and then just dump them in the compost pile all at once.

ldo, people do use text messages to communicate nowadays.

i like the fake call anyway. Solid feature.

Yeah, this is not standard? After you crack 2 eggs, put the shell back in the carton, and the whole carton with both full eggs, and some shells goes back in the fridge. Then when you use that last of the eggs, just toss the whole thing out.

If you've insistent on throwing away the shells immediately, you should save the carton (the cardboard ones) and fill it with dryer lint. This makes an excellent fire starter for campfires, or just a backyard fire pit. I'm involved with cub scouts with my kids and this is a great way to get the campfire roaring.

I'm using that for the fire pit!

pizza boxes also make good kindling

and are an inexpensive source of cheese

This thread has been more useful than any other I've seen on 2p2

If you are a runner and suffer from inner-thigh or nipple chafing, do yourself a favor and buy a stick of bodyglide and use it. I use it anytime I'm going over 2mi.

My BIL who's an Eagle Scout taught me this, except he puts a wick in it and melts some wax over it, to kind of pack it down, then lights it like a candle.

Seems like too much work instead of just closing the top.

I'll probably do the candle-way as a den project right before our next camping trip. Cool, I got a life trick from my own life trick!

Or you could be awesome like this guy:








My friend does a variation of this with a 12-pack box, wood chips and pine needles, and kerosene. Not really a big fan because it just kind of smolders, but it would be great in an emergency.

I volunteered at a marathon once, and I wondered why the hell one of the jobs was to hand out nipple tape. Pretty obvious at the finish line.

It's more of a broom closet. There's not really another good place to put it in the house we rent. Saran wrap seems like a hassle when I could simply move the trashcan next to the counter.

I'm going to try putting them back in the container and see how that works.

Putting the broken egg shells back in the carton kind of seems like putting used condoms back in the box so you con throw them all away at the same time. I'll stick with the trash can for my eggs.

I wouldn't say it's quite the same as used condoms, but yeah, i don't feel too great about putting trash back in my fridge.

I said it somewhere hundreds of posts back, but I'll repeat it again because it's really good advice.

For the poor/busto/in college/whatever... Libraries are criminally under-utilized. Utilize your library. Obviously there are free books. But many will also let you take home magazines and journals. There's free internet. If you live near a state college campus those are normally accessible to all citizens as well and have a wealth of awesome stuff. Typically if the library doesn't have what you want they will borrow it from another system or just order it for you. Basically a great way to read almost anything for free.

Most libraries carry video games now too. Free week long rentals!

Not rocket science, sure. But still, that doesn't seem like a good reason to make it so much more complicated than it needs to be and yet still end up with rotting garbage.

1) Crack eggs on the inside of the sink. No extra clean-up worries 'cause the sink surface will get washed in the normal course of activity.

2) The shells never need to go anywhere else. For any food leftovers that you can (including egg shells), use the garbage disposal attached to the sink. That's what it's there for; so you don't end up with food rotting in the trash can.

The odd item that can't go down the disposal (ie. bones, etc.) should be taken to the outdoor trash so they don't end up stinking up the house. (Sad that this needs to be explained, really.)
