I work best alone. Always have. Just tell me where you want the project to finish, and let me go. I'll ask if I need something. No Visiting Zone here.

I agree. There are some really great thermos-type containers, ice chests and insulated bags that will do the trick. Zojirushi offers some top-notch products for this. We have 2 "Mr. Bento" thermos containers. One could feed 2 people with a feast!

Wonder how well dried, ground, ghost chili will do? Hate to waste it on ants, but might be worth a little experiment.

I tried Cinnamon yesterday, and the ants were immediately lost and/or annoyed - they mostly acted confused and disgusted. Cinnamon is expensive, though, so I'll try cloves and see if that does it as well.

A roasting chicken is huge in comparison to a regular 88 cent/lb chicken. More meat in a single chicken = less bone in proportion.

Sorry, I have to say this to @Vulcan Has No Moon:

I agree. My husband is priceless. He gets first dibs. After that, I dunno.

Should you work for free? Chart

I really doubt that if it comes to my city it will be worth much, either, for the same reason.

@theCR4NE: The thing is to take some time every once in a while and learn how to do a few things by CLI that you now do with a mouse. For instance, it finally occurred to me to learn the keyboard commands to switch Workspaces (Ctrl + Alt + Arrow) to help me flip from one Workspace to another as well as the keyboard…

Um, no.

Florida has swamps. Do you notice them being cooler than the rest of the state?

>>WOMEN CAN GIVE YOU TECH SUPPORT! <<

Excellent idea!

+1 I'm not a man, and I always keep a knife on me.

Um, not possible for me. I'll have to call Arnold for this job.

I've been using a modified version of this for years, because it's all about freshness, especially for herbs, such as parsley or cilantro. I wash the herbs, shake the water out. Wrap them in a clean dish towel (or even a Handi-Wipe), and then put that back into the (cleaned) plastic bag they came in. They last a very…

Ooo. Ubuntu Classic. Sounds good.
