Eddie, that is weird but makes sense. But for some reason stuff boils faster at my sister's house. Probably the combination of pots and stove though. I stand corrected. I wonder if humidity has any effect on it.
Things I forgot to mention: The guy who fixes my AC from time to time isn't going to be available for a long time. He's addicted to painkillers and apparently got high and got behind the wheel. Crashed in to a schoolbus full of kids. DUI, reckless driving, child endangerment, felony possession of controlled substance (even worse charge bc he didn't have a prescription). They didn't even give him bail. Fortunately, no one seems to have been hurt.
As an aside, today in the truck I was mentioning the trash can needs to be emptied in the kitchen. My brother then turns to me and said, "You need to wash the trash can, it's filthy!". I didn't respond but I was sitting there mulling over a response like "Hey, a$$hat, trash is supposed to be YOUR job!" But it never even occurred to him that maybe he could wash the trash can. He's not dumb but I don't get how he can lack self-awareness. I didn't want to argue so I just remained silent for like 20 minutes of the drive. I don't think he even noticed the side-eye I gave him. I wish we had an impartial mediator to sit down and help work things through to explain to him that I'm not his mother, he's a grown adult, and I'm not always going to be around to clean up after him.
