Hey, from Centralia. We lived elsewhere for 20 years, but we moved back here to care for our aging parents. Our kids are grown now, but when our daughters were teenagers, they didn’t believe me when I told them the teen pregnancy rate was actually worse when I was in high school in the 80's.

Ooo, interested to see how this goes. My dad has a 198x Country Squire that looks basically like this, and also with the V8 and mileage in the 20k range. He really should get rid of it, because it never gets driven these days, and this might give me an idea what it could bring.

I’m almost 57, and it’s still a comfort food kind of thing for me. My wife tried an experiment a few weeks ago: she made a quick and easy pot pie for lunch with DM beef stew and a Bisquick dough topping. It was pretty tasty!

I highly recommend white electrical tape for labeling. It won’t come off in the freezer until you peel it off, but then it will come off easily and cleanly.

That will always be such a beautiful car. It does have a bit of koala or something going on from the front, though. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

Maybe Adam Kinzinger?

Plus, even many “landline” phones are actually using VoIP through some type of gateway connected to a cable or fiber ISP.

Best review of a stock toast photo I’ve ever read. I laughed, I cried, it moved me and became a part of me.

You’re right of course about the hardness of egg shell vs. blade, but there’s a difference between hardness and brittleness. In fact, things that are harder tend to be more brittle. For example, you can hit your blender blade with a hammer and nothing will likely happen to it. But if you hit a diamond with a hammer,…

But I like my toast dry! I purposely let it sit in the toaster after it pops up just so it can dry out a bit more. I think I’m not alone in preferring it this way, because toast racks are a thing, and their main purpose is to keep toast dry.

I think your only option is to use a masonry bit and lead anchors. Depending on how the shelves themselves are intended to mount, you might use anchors big enough to screw in sections of threaded rod.

It depends on what your baking, too, though. That kind would be terrible for cookies. For cookies you really want a heavy-duty bare aluminum commercial cookie sheet. I invested in a couple like this a few years ago, and they still look just like that, because they simply wipe clean after I use them. Plus I’ve never…

Walmart is one of the few places left to get groceries in our rural Midwest town: Walmart, Schnucks, and ALDI. Walmart has, in my experience, the best self-checkout system. I don’t mind using it at all, and in fact prefer it. Schnucks could learn a thing or two from Walmart, because their self-checkout is somewhat…

Okay, I’ve filled it out. Where do I send it? Can I just fax it?

This is a slightly weird place to do it, but I wanted to mention that it’s well worth investing some good soy sauce. (I just re-read your chicken poaching post linked above, and it used soy sauce.) A while back I started buying good imported soy sauce from Amazon (no Asian markets within 50 miles of me), and it’s sooo…

Those sound delicious! When I was a kid we had a chip brand called “Ozark Bar-B-Q” that had a really good and distinctive flavor. These days my favorite is “Krunchers! Mesquite Bar-B-Que”.

Whew, I’d take Domino’s over Pizza Hut any day. If you haven’t had Domino’s since before the reformulation years ago, it’s so much better than it was in the “old days.” Pizza Hut around here was so bad that they closed almost all of them a few years ago. There are exactly two left within a 30-mile radius of me.

I’m willing to give it a try. Heh. It wasn’t clear what it meant when it asked for a name during setup, so a bunch of us early users have just our first names as our user names.

Are we talking soft, firm, or stiff peaked? Do I need to add cream of tartar?

In a general election just 1% not voting for her might be all that’s necessary to prevent this modern fascist party from regaining power. If Jill Stein (who kicked off her campaign by flying to Moscow for this picture with Putin and Michael Flynn, shortly to be appointed National Security Advisor by Trump!) hadn’t…
