I went out this morning and shopped at a Super Market I usually don't go to and then went to Stop and Shop where I usually do go, to not shop and to stand with strikers for an hour today.
At the super market I usually don't go to I bought a beautiful T-Bone steak for about $11 and then went to a local fish market and bought a beautiful piece of fresh haddock for $15.
I put the steak on the left side of my grill and, over some tin foil, I put the haddock, with lemon, butter and bread crumbs on it on the right side. Figuring I could check on the items in about 5 minutes I'd kill some time on my keyboard engaging with my fellow DUers.
After forgetting about my grill and about 20 minutes later, I have a fucking blackened piece of rubber on one side of the grill and a mass of some sort of burnt shit on the other.
Since this situation can't possibly be my fault, I want to tell you all, friend and foe alike, that you all suck.

(459 posts)When my daughter was little, and she didn't want to do something now, like go to bed or do a chore, we would agree to set the oven timer so that when it beeped, it was time to do that thing. That way, she could finish watching her program or whatever.
When she got to be around 11, and I didn't want to take her out shopping for new clothes, she started to do the same thing to me.
There is a deeper point here if I can figure out what it is, but the lesser point is that oven timers are loud and don't let you forget things.
