I know all sorts of companies refer to consumers as “guests” & other euphemisms, but somehow IHOP saying “guests” instead of “customers” is particularly irritating.

Some of us are Davids...

Wait, so they’re even removing the check mark for government accounts if you don’t pay them $1000/month? Has he seen most government communications budgets?

That just seems like refusing responsibility to make a choice. Flip a coin.

But you’ve just wiped out the entire genre of church ladies cookbooks!

They moved the Spruce Goose to Oregon years ago- I’m sure they’d ship it again for The Aviator 4-D roller coaster for the right price.

My sympathies to you... Over 35 years later my mom still tells the story about how hosting my 4th birthday party at Chuck E Cheese’s was a bad idea. Her main memory is about how she had to crawl into into some tiny tunnel to break up a fight between my friend Ben and another pre-school age kid.

We did the same thing with mom’s card until I forgot it one day and an employee just gave me a new card and activated it for me with absolutely no info associated with it. While they still have a profile on our buying habits, there is no name, email, or number associated with it, which is at least something.

Twister 2: Here we blow again

Well, Pirates 12 has already been foretold:

I’m not disagreeing that the outrage is overblown, but it also wouldn’t surprise me if the exact itinerary was only set days or a couple weeks ahead of time. Even VIP visits that aren’t that exciting (congressional reps. or cabinet secretary visits, say) are tentative until the last minute and usually are too full so…

He also mentions the Tillamook burn in Fourth of July, so that’s two Oregon adjacent songs.

Once I realized how easy fresh was to make and that you can make it a couple days ahead, it was fresh all the way.  Plus it’s very satisfying to pop the little cranberries as they cook.

My perennial favorite are the folks at roadside pop-up tents selling oranges and grapefruits at least 1,500 miles from where an orange would grow. Just because it’s being sold via van does not mean it’s local or fresh-picked.

It’s important to remember foraging isn’t allowed on all lands. Your links are only to a smattering of state lands. Federal lands like national parks, national forests, & BLM may not allow foraging or require a permit. Some states regulate foraging even on private lands if you’re going to sell or barter the mushrooms,…

I got a Communications notification for this?

Very few pop hits with the chorus “…I’m gonna love you for a while… until we grow apart”

I appreciate the appearance of a longer form article (with actual research, no less), but proof-reading is kinda essential.

For some reason, it’s the eyeliner that really got me. It’s such a ludicrous mish-mash of oddball choices, but that eyeliner just doesn’t work with those glasses.

I was confused by this review thinking I’d seen the trailer before Thor, but then remembered there was a farmer or something and it seemed very off-Broadway Suessian. I think it was this movie:
