What that child won't say to get a teen magazine.

Very useful indeed.

Last time I was in a youth waiting room with a daughter, she flipped through the magazines there amazed and disgusted. Looked inside a teen magazine as if she was examining a dog turd, and expressed how amazed she was a friend of hers had that. All of a sudden, her face brightened. She had found a Top Gear magazine.

House wrap/Tyvek tape is one of the few tapes that will stick and hold well on polyethylene most either don't stick at all or fall off after a short time.

  That's almost as silly as the vomitorium.

I have improved a blue star composition from Alexander Hardt. Thanks to me binding it with Japanese rice starch, I can increase the amounts of potassium chlorate and copper oxychloride:

Potassium chlorate 65
Copper oxychloride 20
Red gum 5
Chlorowax 5
Stearin 2
Rice starch 3

Bomb is feminine in almost every language. Most known forms are probably German die Bombe and Italian la bomba. Its origin is Greek βόμβος, meaning "booming", "humming", "buzzing"

Haha, chlorowax is a so called secondary chlorine donor. Without chlorine no blue colour. There is chlorine in the potassium chlorate and copper oxychloride, but you usually add about 5% additional chlorine donor nevertheless.

Stearin increases the size of the flame and helps in burning impurities at the edge of the flame

It's "da bomb", actually.

When in the late morning, you find yourself craving a good bean dish for dinner, you can still used dry beans.
Lots of beans need 12 to 24 hours of soaking, but, that time can be brought back big time.
If you bring beans to the boil for five minutes, and then let them soak in the water they were boiled in, a soaking of just 2 hours often is enough.

Sørry, I do not need you (ad random/whomeverz). No need, there is. Or simply put, maybe.... 'nothing', like in 'not a thing'  is more important to me.. than the 'friendship' I have with myself.
