Teaspoon is abbreviated to “tsp”, tablespoon is “tbsp”.

That must have been like wearing an oven after a few hours.

Four teaspoons isn’t very much though. Most oils and fats are about 60 calories per teaspoon, which would only be about 240 to 260 for the amount listed on the jar.

To be truly authentic, the time should be in Roman numerals.

This is sad.

When that size system first started being used, size zero would have been for a newborn infant. Actually, size 0 didn’t even exist then.

The size range of most adult women’s clothes was once referred to as “misses” sizes, as in “young misses”. So a size 12 (before vanity sizing existed) was actually intended to fit an average 12 year old and the size numbers referred to the approximate age of teen that could be usually be expected to wear it. There was no size 0 back then, misses clothing usually went from 12 up to 20, although the range sometimes started at 10. After that, a woman moved into “woman’s” sizing and the next number up was 40.

“Vanity” sizing started to appear in about the mid 80s and every manufacturer had their own idea of what a size 12 was supposed to be. This is when I first noticed that off the rack sizes no longer matched up with sewing pattern sizes.

Here’s an example of a sewing pattern size chart from the 1950s. All the pattern companies used standard sizing, with minor variations.

Are you also driving an 11 year old Grand Caravan? (Whatever happened to the Petite Caravan?)

One of my molars is capped in gold and there are titanium screws with a matching plate on one ankle, so I figure I could get more.

No in-flight movie? Cheapskate owners couldn’t spring for business class?

Is it wrong to hope that he someday finds himself destitute and homeless?
