My technique is similar, but I use cards and envelopes and names. Write a name on the outside of the envelope, then also on the card. Put the matching card in the envelope and repeat for each person. Then shuffle and stack. Open envelope #1 and pull out card #1 face down, set aside the envelope. Pick envelope #2, pull…

Had a 1996-7 (interesting repair job by a previous owner) Jeep Cherokee and all of this sounds so, so familiar.

Questlove’s little smile after he hits The Drum Riff is making my day.

Since the 2009 Routan is really a Chrysler T&C with a fake German accent, I totally understand those complaints.

The brake pads, for what it’s worth, came in 3 different sizes that year, according to my (now close family friend) mechanic. There’s no consistency based on trim or make/model or anything. You just open it…

Went there a few years ago with my brother in law who is a professional photographer, albeit in a smaller market. Brought his gear, but didn’t have a pass. He went out to get some shots from somewhere besides our pit row seats and accidentally fell in with a crowd of roving photogs. Chatting about gear and how the…

Yes, some horses are useless. And so are some dogs. And cats. Anything that’s removed from its main use and now just serves as a status symbol/companion is, by definition, useless. And, sure, I guess that’s the point, right?

Mine was a triple whammy. First the washer broke, then the car broke, then the hot water heater broke. All within about a month of each other. Still rebuilding that emergency fund.

When you play these on the desktop app, the progress bar changes to a light saber. Which is pretty fun. So, obviously, Spotifiy was in on this. Good for them, too.

OK, now that I’ve said that, my new head cannon has that there’s an 8-track player in the land speeder with a copy of In A Gadda Da Vida stuck in there on permanent repeat. Luke just bought the speeder that way and hates it, but Ben insisted on listening to it the entire way to Mos Eisley...

Obi-wan’s reads like my dad’s 8 track collection. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

It’s 2002 or so and I was at a churchy get together outside Portsmouth, Ohio and brought my handy 1991 Ranger...XLT. You know, the kind with the extended cab that had two jump seats in the back that folded out of the side walls? Gave the rear passengers a great view of the back of the headrests and the other…

They did show another car. Blink and you’ll miss it...

Too bad this wasn’t done during the DaimlerChrysler era. They really could have told both sides of that story.

But what’s the best N64 Controller for Windows? The N64 tridents were...unique...and I can’t see playing most games without one. Anyone making a good facsimile or refurb out there?

What kind of church insures a Jesus statue against acts of God?

Also, it’s be nice if I could say “Hey, yes, I’m using Apps, but this is really a personal account, so let me at the goodies. I’m not laying me off from my family any time soon. Really. I hope.”

Oh, curses! I’ve got Apps, so no dice there. But, seriously, why? It’s like they want us to pay extra to not get the same things everyone else gets. I don’t understand the logic.

Here’s my big question: Which plans allow you to switch accounts/profiles on the fly on the same device like Netflix does. I really, really want to be able to set up a Spotify/Google/Apple account so that my kids’ music doesn’t invade my preferences.

Not technically my story, so I didn’t throw it in, but a good time none the less...

We were/are/hopefully will be tight. We did and do spend a lot of time together, which is probably how we ended up having Jr. in the first place (and his 2 little siblings).
