It didn't seem aggressive to me :). I didn't realize you were in India. In the US, instant coffee is not very popular. I think it's viewed as making a less-than-stellar cup of coffee. On the flip side, most people who drink tea here use teabags. Loose leaf tea isn't very popular (but I love it!).

Also, I'm not sure what you picture when I say tea-maker, but I wouldn't consider it an appliance (like a coffee machine or dishwasher). Mine is essentially just a container with a strainer, so after the tea steeps, you can pour it into a mug.

Get a tea maker? Also, either way you are using loose leaf tea or coffee grounds, so I don't see much of a difference.

The slider wasn't there last night. It is now, but it doesn't work.

"Are you sure that water's sanitary? Looks questionable to me."

Some grocery stores in this area hire people with special needs to bag groceries and bring the carts back inside. They are employees though, so they are paid - they don't typically get tips.

My hubby taught me this rule, and I think it is great.

So while she doesn't specifically address urine, Hama does explain that the prisoners were kept in very dry conditions and that "any sign of trouble was met with cruel retribution." So even if urine provided waterbenders some liquid to work with, it really would not have been enough to escape. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91QbwtxQ6pY

I never really paid attention to whether they were sitting or not, but now that you mention it, I feel like they do. Also, they always have an extra cart, so while you are putting everything onto the conveyor belt, they scan it all and load it into a new cart. Then you push the cart to long shelf thing where you can bag all of your stuff.

We have one grocery store (at least in the area that I live) that does that: Aldi.

Sometimes I've just gotta a? I'm so confused.

How are we supposed to read it?

Where do you live? Because they don't do that anywhere I've been.

The money does not have to be less. A very large portion of what you are paying for in a typically funeral is the embalming, coffin, headstone, etc. Since natural burial does use any of those, it cuts on cost to both the business and the consumer so more money can be put towards the actual burial spot. And I do think that there is a societal change in this regard. When I first heard about this years ago, it wasn't really a concept at all and now there are more and more places doing it. As we need more sustainable practices and as more people learn about this, I do think this practice will continue to grow and become more normal/typical practice.
