So, after going through my mother's clothes with her to see what she should wear to a wedding next weekend, I think it may be time for me to start spending money on good clothes and then never get rid of them.

Burrell, I was pretty amazed what a difference it made to ease of peeling. The point of the ice is to avoid the whites getting too tough, so if that doesn't happen enough to bother whoever is eating the eggs, yeah, skip it.
I can't say I find overcooked eggs inedible, myself. Today might be the first time I've had hardboiled eggs that weren't overcooked, frankly. If I do six eggs at a time that will last me a week or two easily, so I might as well take the extra steps, but if you are feeding more than one person I'm sure that calculation is different.

Makes sense, Jesse.

Ha, my mother is sort of the same way. It's easier if you have a traditional style. I think my mother is going to wear the purple dress for my brother's wedding next month. The same purple dress she wore to my wedding, but since that was in 1998 we think she can get away with it.
ION my grandfather died this morning, in one of those sudden but not unexpected things (he was 93 and in the nursing home section of his schmancy retirement community.) I'm not especially upset. He could be very charming but was essentially self-interested and not actually a very nice person. My mother is upset, of course, but she's also relieved that he's not going to "spoil your brother's wedding."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ah, I'm sorry about your grandfather, flea. Totally get how the upset versus relief calculus shifts at that age.

Yes, I often think that. Not that it gets me to go high end shopping, mind you!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Cost per use. Quality really does matter.
flea, I'm so sorry. It's still tough, even when it's not heartbreaking.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
My condolences, flea.

Ah, family. I'm sorry for your loss regardless.

Condolences for your family, flea. The not so nice relatives we lose are still losses.
The same purple dress she wore to my wedding
This pleases me.
