…that hole can’t be filled. We pretend because no one has the balls to live with the truth, the truth being that inside that hole, Jack, is what we really are: nothingness.
I thought the sink/dishwasher combo was just AI craziness but I had to Google it. It’s a real thing. What the hell.
Great idea. Dry soils, which are basically pulverized rock, are typically trafficked in on the soles of shoes. When it works its way into individual carpet tufts and then trafficed again, it causes a majority of the discoloration we regard as “wear”. Have a dedicated pair of house shoes or slippers. Buy several sizes of machine washable ones for house guests. And vacuum several times a week. I once had a customer whose wife was limited to a wheelchair, which are typically very hard on carpets and leave dirty traffic patterns in the path of the wheels. Their carpets were in good condition. Their secret? “Outside” wheelchair that stayed in the trunk of the car.
Did this professionally for a while. Carpet cleaners would largely go out of business overnight if everyone took their shoes off. Filthy animals.
I legit had a friend who insisted, quite mistakenly, on saying ballcock as “cock-and-ball.” I have no idea why. I’d used it in his presence before. I never bothered to correct him; it was too funny to see him ask a hardware store employee for one. I wonder if he ever realized this, and lies awake at night shaking his head. How did he not end up known all over town as the Cock/Balls guy? Maybe everyone has mistakes like these. I guess it’s a good thing sillcocks never came up. Anyway, he was a dick.
