I don't normally share things like this, but I need the thoughts and prayers of my friends here at this awesome site. The person in this link is my step son. He fractured his pelvis in two places and also his urethra. He's made it through 4 surgeries and is on the road to recovery, but there's still much to be done. So please, regardless of your religion/beliefs, please send positive energy my way.

I am praying for him, and I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

Silicon food-grade oven gloves:

Dngrswife calls them clown-hands.

I hope they are thick enough or have a lining of some sort. I've got a full silicone popcorn popper, does a great job, but it's hotter that Hades to grab out of the microwave and you do have to put a pad under it if you don't have granite countertops.

No. I used them to scoop some coals onto a tri-tip we were cooking in the pit, and the gloves survived without any damaged, but heat went right through.

So, positioning our repositioning food, or momentary contract with hot surfaces is okay, but definitely not something you want to wear in the forge.

That's awesome @Kaat72. shared it with my teacher and student friends on WeChat moments. :thumbsupdroid:

I thought rule 1 would have been:

1. Teachers each day will fill lamps, and send pupils up the chimneys.
...like in The Water-Babies.

So women teachers who marry are fired!.

BTW how's the vacation going?

I have two different sets for grabbing meat off the grill and they work fine. There really isn't a liner needed for meat transfer unless you are carrying it long distances. For pulling it off a grill and putting it on a tray they work great. This difference is a roast or prime rib will be between 135 and 165 depending on the meat (e.g. beef, pork, chicken, etc.) where the popcorn poppers involves enclosed steam which can easily reach hundreds of degrees.
 
Here's what I did today...

1. Cereal, coffee and cigs.
2. Wiggled my droid's USB connection until it magically healed itself.
3. Read some of my book, napped.
4. Water and cigs.
5. Repeat step 3.
6. Cooked and ate microwave dinner.
7. Wash one dish.
8. Repeat step 5.
9. Walked to the empty mailbox and back.
10. Repeat step 8.
11. Texted a friend.
12. Upcoming: scotch and soda and cigs.

...that's pretty damn close to doing absolutely nothing, ain't it?

Looks like someone determined to kill themself in the slowest way possible (aside from maybe marriage).
 
In Chinese it's always correct actually. "乔治·阿玛尼". But the knock-offs aren't so good at Italian. "Burberry" seems to cause them a lot of difficulty as well. :D Myself, I spell them with four "M"s and a silent "Q".
