Shep,

Shep,

PA, too. The argument, from the dealers themselves, is that some people prefer to browse without pressure from a salesman. Which pretty much nullifies their whole sales system.

There’s also an old theory that it allows people to wander the lots without being annoyed for one day a week. It doesn’t hurt that banks are closed anyway.

You might want to clarify your post... if it’s attached, you absolutely should remove it ASAP no ifs, ands, or buts. But once it is removed, then you can save the removed tick for analysis. Your post sounds like you are recommending letting it stay attached.

If the tick has attached, don’t be too quick to get rid of it. It’s possible for the ticks to be tested for disease, which could be more accurate since often there are false positives for Lyme disease. Or in my case, keeping the tick (in an empty medicine bottle) allowed the doctor to identify it as a Lone Star tick,…

Nope, too soon. It’s none of my business and I’m glad they’re all happy but all the hair stands on the back of my neck when this happens

I have the original model of that half round Simple Human trash can. It is the best money I’ve ever spent on a trash can! The foot pedal is just strong enough that the dog can’t keep enough pressure on it to keep the lid up long enough to get in the can and with the soft close, as many times a day as he tries, I don’t…

If you buy a new (to you) house, typically the listing agent is responsible for making sure it passes a fire inspection. DO NOT assume that they have a.) used new smoke detectors b.) used new BATTERIES...

I didn’t go to j-school but a few important things I’ve learned on the job are that people you’re interviewing will generally say interesting things to fill awkward silences if you just stay quiet, that if you can’t think up a kicker you should try cutting the last line or paragraph of your story, and that the people…

I’m just saying that I grew up in the “non-posh” section of Naples. I worked at country clubs and hotels in the area when I was in school and got to meet folks like Mr. Yacht here.

You absolutely can run it all day, or for multiple days. The only issue about which to be concerned is evaporation. Doing a long cook, even though you’re below 212°, some of the liquid in the bath will evaporate. That’s why Claire covered her bath with plastic wrap (see 5th pic). Plastic wrap (or a lid with a hole for…

I wrote a big old thing here about a time a thing happened, as I am wont to do, and decided “not worth it”. My heart just isn’t in it lately.

Instead, I’ll say this, for guests:

Be thankful someone is cooking you a meal and inviting you into their home. Times aren’t always good and easy for everyone - offer to make a…

Yeah, I fell for it. Received friend request from someone I honestly couldn’t remember, but from my h.s. (which was small, so, I figured I must have known her). Immediately the ‘slimming body wraps’ explode all over my newsfeed. Fucking shameless, annoying, ridiculous bullshit.

They weren’t normal customers. They were flying with passes. As a guy I can get refused for wearing jeans with passes.

Nah, if you are flying with passes you basically have to wear business casual. They will refuse you if you are wearing jeans, let alone leggings.

For one reason, the programming the schedule via the smartphone app is 1000x better than the poor UI in the device. And there’s the added benefit of knowing the moment your power goes out (or internet goes down at home)— you’ll get a “lost connection with your device” email from Honeywell within seconds.

Ah, the good old 6580. Also, it works and is easy to program.

The makep/wardrobe team was on point all night. Trump’s lapel pin in the opening? A Russian flag.

You’re all fired! Everybody’s fuckin’ fired!

I had A LOT of soup (the wife made wonton soup last night) and drank 6 cups of water and a soda. I woke 2 or 3 times, as I lost count, just going pee. Stupid bladder!
