One use for a phone book was to prop a little kid in a regular chair so they could eat at the table. Like, after they outgrew a baby highchair and could balance on their own. Also you could prove your strength by ripping one in half.

Listings were usually under the name of the adult male, for safety as well as sexism. A woman living alone would probably use just her initials for safety.

And in certain tones and context, a man saying the last one to a woman could sound a bit predatory. I'm sure you'll use good judgement.

Yeah I get that, literally blood money

If you want to practice compliments, a safe choice is often some version of "cute shoes!" Obviously some shoes aren't cute, they're "super" or "dapper," or (some adjective I'm too old and out of touch to know) or "I bet you can run real fast in them."

I donate blood at the UCLA Blood and Platelet Center because I know it's going directly to the hospital. Of course I expect it to be used for others, but on a selfish note, it helps keep their supply of my blood type topped up just in case I need some one day.

Spaying her will settle her hormones, give her one less reason to try to get out, and will stop any neighborhood tomcats from trying to get in! It's very much worth doing. Afterwards she may need to wear a onesie for a little while to keep her from licking her stitches, you know how raspy kitty tongues can be.

That's definitely NOT a bedpan, it's way too shallow. I've seen pewter bowls shaped like that for displaying fruit, but in my head canon it's for Communion wafers.

Here's a similar one: https://amusespot.com/products/wide-rimmed-bowl-by-match-pewter?variant=37212784522

Don't forget Gosford Park!

The show is clever and so is its name, which is indeed a pun playing on psych(ic)/psych (out). The bravado of calling your fake psychic agency "fooled you!" is perfectly in character for Sean.

Oh c'mon, we had a whole show, a very good one, that should have taught everyone how to spell PSYCH! correctly. I sentence you to go watch it, all of it, including the movies. 🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍

That's the reason I took the hotdog ones while my kids were little, just didn't want them picking up and eating a dropped "M&M" Advil by mistake

No if it were Jesus he'd kick the moneychangers and pedophiles out of the Vatican and bless the poor with cash. And fishes, 'cause he's a fiend for fish.
