We don’t live in a cul-de-sac exactly, but it’s a single loop of road, like a “U” with a highway at the bottom of the U and a semi-major road with a large bridge over the highway on the west side. There was a field behind us, but it recently got rezoned into multi-family and apartments are going in. Our end of the…

But are they any good? I’m right next door to you, in Wisconsin, and while we can get tomatoes all year round, they’re usually paler on the inside and very bland. We’re in peak tomato season right now (nearing the end) and it’s awesome. What we’re getting now is so much better than we could get in December that any…

I would prefer to live in a real city too...but my friends, my family, and my cheaper cost of living are all here in NE WI.

On one hand, the owner makes the rules, but yeah, a good owner would cater more to the customers here. Odd.

I would occasionally watch ‘R’ rated movies with my parents when I was pretty young, my mom would just cover my eyes when the “adult” scenes would come on, and as I got older, I was allowed to watch more and more of those scenes.

I watched the movie as a kid...probably around 10 or so.

It does seem weird, but were they a place that serves locally sourced food? If so, Tomatoes are only in season for a short period of time in any one locale, so just not bothering with them is probably a good choice.

I understand the sentiment, but you really have to take your locality into consideration. If you’re in a big, multicultural city, sure, but if you’re in the middle of Wisconsin (as I am) everyhwre you go is going to be full of white people, ethnic or not, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find some amazing ethnic…

My step-mom and her family call it a cannibal sandwich. I’ve been known to eat a little raw hamburger, especially if I’m browning it, but I just can’t bring myself to eat it like they do.

Your position makes complete sense, but it still attributes a motive that a lot of people just don’t have. If I’m never going to shop there again because the experience was so bad, then what do I care about them any more? Whether they change their mind or not, I’m not going back, so why spend any more time explaining…

While I agree with you in theory...getting the problem taken care of rather than simply letting other people deal with it is preferable, but in reality, it just doesn’t make a lot of sense.

It would have gotten attention, sure, but the STeelers would have been flagged for delay of game, then forfeitted the game if they continued to refuse to enter the field of play. I can’t see any coach willing to forfeit a game when they think maybe they can overcome the issue.

You have to take a lot of math to get the degree to do those things, but once you get the job, the actual math you need is much more limited. I made it to Calculus, but now that I’m in the “real world” I need exactly what John says: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division...and even then, if I needed to, a…

Yeah. It’s always fun to read what newer players, or ones that haven’t been to a really cold weather game yet say before they come play here. Stuff like “I turned my A/C on high all week, so I think I’m ready.” It’s not something you can simulate.

Yep, Packers and Bears play football the way it was intended, Vikings and Lions don’t.

Very true. I can trace my hatred of the Cowboys and Patriots to specific events:

I am indeed a Packer fan. I know the Bears are supposed to be our archenemy, but many of us younger fans, who grew up with Favre or later, tend to view the Vikings as more of the big rival. I see the Bears as more of a friendly competition. I’ll chant “The Bears still suck” but when push comes to shove, if the Packers…

That’s why death is still an option. ;-) Most years, watching the Vikings is by far the worse choice.

Even refering to his looks, the merest suggestion that Clay is a <gasp> Viking, is punishable by death (or being forced to watch the Vikings play all season, whichever is worse).

Do you mean, you wonder what he won’t do for love? It’s in the lyrics...each verse lists a thing he won’t do:
