Are the roasting bags a waste of time? I suspect so and think I should brine and just cook it uncovered to get the skin to crisp up. This is my first year cooking dinner at my place instead of having it at my mom’s (who would insist on the bag thing....)

Yay for Pennsylvania whose state parks are always free!

But yeah...it’s still PA. But our parks are beautiful.

Cool, as I’m currently struggling with this after having been at the same company for 11 years with 4 different positions. This and the comments are helpful. I am however struggling how to present the recent “re-alignment” where my position (mid-management) was eliminated and I was re-assigned to another newly-created…

Yep this is me. Why TF would I use a community sponge/rag? Gross. I just grab a paper towel and the dishsoap and wash it that way.

I often wondered how this works in restaurants, where I pay with my card, then they authorize it, bring me the receipt and I write a tip on it, leave it on the table and walk out. I guess the merchant (waiter/waitress/restaurant) then has to go back and change the amount on the initial transaction/request. Or maybe it…

I already did that. Pretty sure it’s this issue. Should be about $300 to fix. I’m pretty handy but not sure I can fix that myself.

Yep....18 years for me. I still have 5 years left of alimony/child support payments. Yay....

As someone who is dealing with this right now....I need to figure it out. Last week my department “re-aligned” which means my position was eliminated but thankfully(?) got re-assigned to another position...which pays about 22% less. Together with being newly single (child support, alimony and of course the awesome…

If I wasn’t at work I could time myself, but I can’t imagine it takes me more than 10-15 to strip normally. I’m guessing 20 seconds if I’m all dolled up in a tie and tightly-laced shoes and maybe those funny garter sock things or something. Suspenders too.

I’m glad I did...just moved in together 2 weeks ago and got called into my office yesterday and the company went all “Office Space” on us. I was “lucky” that I kept my job but they reclassified my position and gave me a 23% paycut (conveniently just short of the apparently 25% cut needed for me to quit and get…

I love Go (and movies like that). Hopefully XOXO is good...

I’ve been doing exactly that and wondered why nobody liked celery. It’s delicious! Guess I should try it cut at a different angle so I can see what all the fuss is about.

Both Mass Effect and Halo have great universes and lore that they’ve built. The trick would not be trying to cram everything into a single movie and thus making it a bit mess.

Don’t forget the ability to store 50,000 songs of your own on Google Music and stream them anywhere (great if you have a lot of local/indie bands that aren’t available to stream).

Plus free access to RedTube.

Of course, I got in early, so it’s only $7.99/mo for me, but still, don’t see why anyone would pay $9.99 for…

Cost vs. Value. I realized even with a DVR, I was still a binge watcher. I’d save up the entire season of The Walking Dead and then binge watch it anyways. I might was well just wait for it to hit Netflix or whatever.

I also realized I was DVR’ing and watching stuff just because....well, for no reason. I was watching…

Are there any GPS apps that will recognize what way you are facing coming out of a parking lot? If I’m not mistaken, GPS will take where you were at a few seconds ago and compare it to where you are at now to determine direction of travel. That’s why you have to start driving for it to recognize which direction you…
