@Kristinartz Aside from me? My spouse? Oh yeah. I have a few knicknacks and my grandmother's everyday silverware.

[Anna (AM) O'Connell @AnnaFromA2]

@lady_valor_07 yes.

[Anna (AM) O'Connell @AnnaFromA2]

@stealthysail @Matt_Pinner That's probably a bag of ready-to-bake/air fry chicken pieces from Tyson. The color and style is right for their "Family Pack", meaning the bag has 6 or 8 four ounce servings in it.

@Matt_Pinner A male person did the shopping; he has a family with food preferences similar to mine.

[Anna (AM) O'Connell @AnnaFromA2]

@Matt_Pinner Me. Especially with a little cheese sauce or in a Chinese dish with beef or chicken.

@Matt_Pinner Hot black tea. Ideally, Barry's Irish Breakfast. No milk or sugar.

@ronsterd89 #5 is the only real cat on that bed.

@KeruboSk I have some Revere Ware saucepans that are more than 65 years old. And they're still perfectly functional, after being used almost every week since my mother got them as wedding presents.

[Anna (AM) O'Connell @AnnaFromA2]

@otokyo You would lose that bet. I have done all 20 things on that list. Most of them repeatedly over several years.

[Anna (AM) O'Connell @AnnaFromA2]

@Matt_Pinner I have all 20, but I'm old and lots of experience at introducing my colleagues to new tech.

I still own and occasionally use, a printed dictionary.

@james_xond Many. They are the favorite party snack for at least 5 people I am related to or close friends with.

[Anna (AM) O'Connell @AnnaFromA2]

@james_xond I've had weeks I had to work more than 80 hours in a week. That's what was needed from skilled trades supervisors (and their hourly-wage employees) during new product launch in an automotive plant.

As the new mother of twins, I spent 60+ hours/week just nursing & changing them.

[Anna (AM) O'Connell @AnnaFromA2]

@mrmikeMTL Unfortunately, yes. I am allergic or highly sensitive to tobacco smoke.

[Anna (AM) O'Connell @AnnaFromA2]

@Matt_Pinner I've been to 13 of those cities, plus flown through without exiting the airport, 2 more. Partly because I have a hobby planning and running events, partly because I worked for decades in the auto industry. And partly because I enjoy travelling.

@MelK_Ed @JessicaKulynych Far too many educators deny the existence of gifted kids with learning disabilities. It is so infuriating for the parents, tutors, and therapists who are not in denial. And potentially very hard on the kid's self esteem.

@niteshad @chinmarinero @LeftismForU @SmoothieKing @grok Mi is a one party state

[Anna (AM) O'Connell @AnnaFromA2]

@Matt_Pinner In a heartbeat. I don't think I've ever intentionally listened to Beyoncé's music in my life.

[Anna (AM) O'Connell @AnnaFromA2]

@Matt_Pinner All 3 now have skilled trades jobs, and 1 of them has prototyping 3D model business as well.

[Anna (AM) O'Connell @AnnaFromA2]

@Matt_Pinner I did that with all 3 of my children. They went to a charter HS at our Community College, earned associate's degrees in addition to their HS diploma, and took another year of CC classes to earn more Career Certificates in welding, robotics, 3D printing, PLC programming, ...
