Today is the day to player hate.
Ask Dear Zulk
dear zulk,
what's the life expectancy for yogurt that's been in abnormal situations?
after going to the grocery store last night some of us forgot to put the yogurt
in the fridge, and some others of us discovered it this morning on the way
to work. if yogurt's been unrefrigerated for upwards of 12 hours, should i
toss it? or is it okay to stick it in the fridge quickly and pretend nothing
happened?
While I may spend two and a half hours a day on my beauty routine, I am not
a picky, germaphobic dork. Don't worry so much about the dairy products. If
you accidentally leave the milk out for an hour or the yogurt for a little
while, it'll be ok. Additionally, please remember that the "sell by"
date is not the same thing as an "eat by" date. I think our nation's
debt problem could be greatly improved by more people taking an educated peek,
sniff or taste of their foods before deciding to toss them.
This reminds me of a story about my roommate, which has to do with both expiration dates and yogurt. She has this neat trick which I recommend you try on your housemates. She will graciously inform us to help ourselves to something of hers in the fridge, usually something that takes up a lot of room and perishable. Then, when the food goes past its due date (and I mean really), it's not her problem since in her eyes it's technically ours, not hers.
My point?
I am not throwing away that yogurt. So there.
Dear Zulk,
Who was Pythagoras, what is his theorem, and why the hell should I care?
Here.
And here.
And you shouldn't; math sucks (and it's hard!)
Dear Zulk,
Is it possible to be totally lusting after someone who is almost your parallel opposite, ideologically? How does that happen?
Will it last?
Absolutely! Well. Are we talking a Democrat/Republican difference, or a Hitler/Jew
thing? Because if it's the latter, then you have some other stuff to sort
out.
But yes. The only thing to double check is whether you can debate your differences rationally and calmly, and don't let them play a major role in your relationship, then that's great. However, if every time you speak to your special person, you want to change their mind and tell them they're wrong and goad them and get under their skin, then it may not work and you may need to slow your proverbial roll in general.
I'm tired now. No more questions.
