rowangolightlyOk, maybe I belong to too many LJ groups now.
But here's a hint to everybody with the daily questions on the various "help me" groups. I know it's fun to post the "oh crap, I screwed up, help me out of having to make a trivial adult decision myownself" stuff but HELLO, common sense has to come into this somewhere.
If you: opened a can or jar of something and left it out...out of the freezer or out of the fridge or in the fridge for five days or out on the deck....whether it's meat or juice or veggies or cat food...
It if looks ok, smells ok, you stick your pinkie in it and lick it and it tastes ok...it's probably ok.
If it looks odd, smells odd, if you're stupid enough to taste it anyway and it tastes odd, THROW IT OUT!
I can only read so many of those before I want to yell, "OK, WHATTHEHELL did you do before there was LJ, people, and don't you have anyone to whom to ask these question with a speck of common sense, huh? DON'T YOU HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO WITH YOUR TIME THAN TO ASK STUPID QUESTIONS?"

Date: 2007-02-28 06:36 pm (UTC)Goddess knows I do enough stoopid stuff, like burning myself with boiling water yesterday morning by stirring the grits in with the measuring spoon...downright stupid. But hey, I wasn't awake yet.
But there's nothing like posting and confirming to the whole world that you can't tie your own shoelaces without somebody picking one of them up and putting it into your hand.

Date: 2007-02-28 10:57 pm (UTC)That sounds like a good name for an LJ group right there. Somebody should start it.

Date: 2007-03-01 06:11 am (UTC)I was going to say they probably died of food poisoning! There does not seem to be an LJ litmus test for common sense. :p
