I don't think so.

Any suggestions for cooking a pork loin roast? Got one set to go. Basically just rubbed it in some oil and salt and peppered the fatty side.
Making some apple sauce from scratch. I'm not sure if it needs anything more. I don't cook pork much.

Parallel parking question.

You are driving along a fairly busy road with one lane and parallel parking on the side. Car in front of you stops next to another car to reverse back into a free space. Is everyone coming along behind this car meant to stop and let them reverse into their park or are they meant to stay there and let the traffic coming through pass them before reversing in?

 

[Catfish Alley]

Stop and let them reverse.

George was right in this instance, his character was built on completely missing the point of things and focusing on himself and I love how it stemmed from stuff like this earlier in the series.

Ok, I got an email from PayPal requesting I give them info regarding my account.

They have requested I give them this info before "Des 31, 2015".

Scam much?

Do it anyway!

Thanks. I see most people going around them and making them wait (can only do this if no oncoming traffic).

Most people are campaigners these days.

My mum always salts the skin the morning she is cooking it and lets it sit in the fridge all day while the salt dries out the skin, amazing crackling every time.

 

[Catfish Alley]

I already ate it! Haha. Was good though.

When reversing out of a car space are you meant to indicate which direction you're reversing to?

Nope.

When emailing someone,

I might start with

"Hi Mr. Smith"

<email>

And they'll reply "Hi TFB,"

<replied email>

Do I then reply with "Hi Mr. Smith" or just go straight into the email?

No, treat it like an ongoing conversation. Eg on Facebook you wouldn't say hi every time you replied. No need to be too polite, greeting her/him once is enough imo. Then get down to whatever you sent her an email about.

Emailing is different, particularly if it's at work.

I always start emails with Hi.

 

[Quivorir]

Another in the always start with a "Hi x" camp.

><

Depends on who it is. But I'd go with the flow of the conversation and not another "hi".

My q.

Am thinking of my friends wedding overseas. Am thinking of getting them a small gift. Am thinking the pound is shit atm. Am thinking I don't want to spend a lot of money.

Any ideas?

 

[Speck]

For some reason higher ups always seem to forgo the Hi.

E.g. It'll be "Speck," rather than "Hi Speck,"

/shudder I remember the day I got an email from the Principal.

A meltdown was had.

You never get emails directly from the Principal.
