Beth is mostly correct, but there are some frightenly common chronic diseases that can mess with your body’s “Thirst indicators”. Diabetes and thyroid problems are just a few.

Plaid?  I thought denim was the true national flag of Canadia (that maple leaf thing is just a ruse to distract potentially invading ‘mericans).

I had both types growing up (and still do). Kate’s version above is what we called “Hungarian Goulash” (though mom added mushrooms with the onions) and the mac+ground_beef+tomato_sauce was called “American Beef Goulash”.

It’s not contradicitory. The first quoted passage says SPORES can survive boiling for up to 5 hours. The second quoted passage says neither the TOXIN nor the BACTERIA are able to survive boiling at all.

The required register tapes that you have to keep are the daily sales summaries... not the individual customer receipts.  And, if you have the electronic copies (such as an Aloha system daily output) stored, you don’t even need the paper ones.

This is a great example of “Security Theater”. Taking your copy of the receipt doesn’t do anything. Here’s why:

FSA loan with a 12% downpayment. when I was 33.

This is something I’ve said about a lot of different occupations: It’s not his job to do the reporter’s job. Could he help? Sure. Is he required to? Nah. He just has to be available when his league contract says he has to.

I had a german shepherd that HATED getting his paws muddy, but had all the energy in the world and loved playing fetch. I have a ranch-style house and ended up re-configuring our living room so that I could sit on the couch at one end of the house and throw a tennis ball down the hallway into the the end bedroom (the…

TiL: I’ve been a genius most of my life.

Agreed, but intent has no bearing on outcome.  Try telling a parent who lost a child that it’s ok, because “The TV wasn’t DESIGNED to fall on their toddler.”

Just for the record, I believe we do have a gun problem in this country and we will only ever attempt a solution if we talk about it. I am not smart enough nor is my ego big enough for me to believe that I have the solution, however, in discussions I’ve had with others, I can tell you one argument that does not and…

You don’t need a car. Those cause more child deaths than guns. You don’t need a big screen TV. Those kill dozens of kids per year (seriously, google it). You don’t need to eat romaine lettuce, but that kills kids with salmonella every year.

Just as point of clarification, steam doesn’t fight the influenza virus directly. What does fight the virus is the mucus that the sinuses and nasal passages create. The mucus helps capture the viruses, bacteria, and other irritants and carry them away. The body’s reaction to the flu virus is to often over produce this…

Well, “water” implies liquid dihydrogen monoxide. “Ice” implies its solid form and “steam” (or vapor) implies the gaseous state.

How to wake up feeling amazing:
