Yep, it's great! You can call or text with all your turkey questions. I texted and so the lady helping me even asked for pictures of the "growth"! She sent the issue up the line until it was identified. This was just last year, and I'm still mad about throwing out a perfectly good turkey before trying the helpline.

I've started with a frozen bird in the morning, and had a nicely baked turkey at a reasonable time this way. Put it in a bath until it's not entirely a brick, replacing some of the water frequently. Balance it in the sink so you can run the faucet down the neck. Run water until spine is thawed enough to spatchcock. Doesn't matter if most the meat is still frozen, it'll cook fine.

*Went to brine my turkey the day before and found a weird "growth". It was really unappetizing and concerning, so I overreacted and threw out the bird. Could only find frozens, so the new bird only had overnight in the fridge. After buying a new turkey I thought to get on the Butterball turkey help line. They were fantastic and assured me the growth was actually a processing burn and totally safe.

Stay outside until dinner. Warn sister not to rat. Play in bedroom until bedtime.

My older sister and I once made a very questionable swing. My youngest sister was more than happy to be the first one to try it. She had to climb up on the picnic table, under the apple tree, to sit in a chair. We then hoisted the chair up by rope. The chair promptly flipped, we dropped the rope and little sister broke her elbow. Managed to hide the broken elbow from Mom and Dad till the next morning.

Why is it when talking about Israeli military or political action it's necessary to add the word government? With any other country you can say, as an example, "Russia shouldn't be invading Ukraine", but with Israel it seems necessary to add something like "I'm talking about the government, not the people."

On the other side of things, it seems Hamas is interchangable with Palestine, which is interchangable with the Palestinian people, and none of these get folks pointing out the distinction.

Yesss! The person that owns the most guns that I know is also the most liberal guy I know. I know what guns my conservative friends own because they tell me about them. I know the alarmingly high amount of guns my most liberal friend owns because we've gone shooting together.

Don't get me wrong, I've talked guns with all the folks included above. It just seems the more conservative folk use it more as a bragging right, where as the liberals I know only mention it if the topic is already owning/target shooting guns.

The adjustable base is a game changer! Helps with my heart burn and my husband's snoring. Also, I'm sick rn, so have been watching a lot of tv in bed. Being able to adjust to more of a sitting position is awesome.

Attempted to sexily bite upper lip. Failed.

I wonder how much money the 4 agencies involved in the raid spent. Like how many months of rent would that equal? At what point would it just be better to send a single officer with a voucher for a months rent? Would cost the public far less and give the family a months relief, allowing them time to save money and get back on their feet.

Did he suggest an alternate term, or just say 'stop calling it that'?
