Best “roasted potatoes” are baby potatoes pan fried in a little bit of butter with rosemary. I use my non-stick wok pan for it.
New random question topic: I just got a used car and the previous owners left a glue circle from a phone mount on the dashboard. Any ideas for removing the glue without ruining the black plastic dashboard? It seems like super glue or something similar. It doesn’t come off with goo gone.
Your favorite auto body shop might have some suggestions or perhaps cover it up with your phone holder or similar?
I agree you may, in the end, need the experts. Some glues end up fusing with the material they’re used on. Good luck.
Nail polish remover works on superglue. The usual, “test in an inconspicuous area first” advice applies. Make sure it dooesn’t affect color. Use sparingly, at first, like on a q-tip.
Any people from Iowa here? We flew home from Des Moines airport today after attending an event at D1’s inlaws’ home in Iowa. The TSA agent was SO NICE and pleasant, it was startling. Most of the ones I deal with have been curt at best, surly and severe at worst. It was so notable that both DH and I looked at each in wonder as we left the security area.
Is this an Iowa thing or an individual agent thing?
When we visited Iowa it was the only other continental state we thought we could enjoy living in… loved our time there. It mainly lost our appeal because it’s so far away from Big Water - another of our loves.
It’s more than just one person. 
Anyone know if there’s a company I can roll over my mom’s IRA into (as beneficiary) and have one of my lads manage it? The lad has always been super with the stock market, but works in IT for his real job. He majored in business, but likes IT better, though told me he’d love to manage ours if possible.
Our other investments are mainly real estate. We’ve done very well with those, but I don’t want the tax hit of cashing out the IRA. It would take a really good investment to make up for that hit.
My friend lives in Des Moines and us very happy in her CCRC there. I’ve not been there but perhaps may visit someday.
Question: Am about to take DH’s shirts to the cleaners. Some have those little plastic stays in the collar. Do I take them out before taking the shirts to the cleaners?
@jym626 - Our cleaner requests that the stays are removed.
Thanks @momofsenior1. I am reading that if I leave them in they may melt/stain when the dry cleaners irons the collars. So out they come!
Yes. Otherwise the stays may melt and fuse to the collar. Obviously if the shirt has the stays sewn in, they can’t be removed.
I’ve always removed those plastic stays as soon as DH brings shirts home from the store!
2 notes to the men out there:
1/ You take the stays out when you take off your dress shirt. That’s not your wife’s/partner’s responsibility.
2/ Invest in some collar stays; the ones that come with the shirt a cheap. Get some better quality ones
The usual mutual fund companies (Vanguard, Fidelity, etc.) and brokerages (Schwab, E-Trade, TD Ameritrade, etc.) offer IRA accounts that can receive direct rollovers, so that the owner can have a wider range of investment choices within them.
@Nrdsb4 I grew up in Iowa, moved away for awhile, then lived in the Des Moines area for 10 years while both kids where in middle school/high school. We have since moved to the west coast. We have what we call “Iowa nice” which is what you probably experienced. If you were driving down a small town or country road there would be people giving you the 2 finger wave where part of their hand is on the wheel and a couple of fingers are raised off the wheel as a wave or salute to say hi.
Lol, lately, I realize I find “Iowa nice” on every US trip. And it IS a delight. I’m happy jym found it, in a state most of know little about. Imo, it says as much about her as the others. A visit to Iowa is on my bucket list.

These are the greatest collar stays but my husband sometimes forgets to take them off and the cleaners loses them along with the tiny magnets. (Thank you, @skieurope, for agreeing with me that it’s HIS responsibility to keep up with them.)
Thanks, @lookingforward . But I haven’t been to Iowa (though I have a friend moving there next week). I was asking about shirt collars, not Iowa. I think maybe you meant to acknowledge Nrdsb4?
Ack. Thanks. Good for you, Nrdsb4!
