Once you get the expansion, if you just leave the expensive food inside, Tubbs will never eat it.

Makes me happy everyone was playing the scene from Extras where David Bowie called him a sad, pathetic pig-man all day yesterday.

My new favorite waste-saver: make stock from all your vegetable scraps. I keep a bag in the freezer and do a batch of stock every couple of weeks. Nothing like making something tasty and useful out of “nothing”!

I own a warm-steam vaporizer and have since I was a kid. It’s just like this (a reservoir that a heating element drops into and pushes vapor out the top.) It’s like your method, but you can put it in whatever room you need.

If you use Lyft instead of Uber, you can tip in the app, if you’re inclined to not have cash and want to tip your driver.

They did, at least south of Reed. They may be planning to repave more of the street soon but I’ve only really used that section of it so I’m not sure how much they’ve covered by now.

My cat got out in the summer. We let him out through the back door all the time, but we think he jumped out of an open window in the front of the house. He just went a couple of doors down and was hiding in a garage, but it was two weeks before I was able to get to him. He should have been aware of the neighborhood,…

I was foolishly guessing pasta (like, broken up)?

Yep, Philly. They just covered the tracks on one street I occasionally ride on (S 12th St), so it gives me hope that they know they’re not going to revive street cars across the city and will just cover the tracks.

For winter biking, hunting gear will keep you really warm and comes in neon please-don’t-shoot orange!

Be aware of your road surfaces. My city has old trolley tracks criss-crossing it. The only two accidents I’ve had in my year of biking so far have been from hitting them at the wrong angle because I thought I could make it. I’m always attentive when streets are being dug up because drivers will swerve around the…

I found that the no-show traps worked pretty well. They’re small, so they won’t catch rats, but I definitely curbed my mouse population substantially and didn’t have to deal with hitting myself in the hand with snap traps.

I would just like to put in my vote for Rocky II. I just really love the scenes of him becoming famous, but still being a boxer who’s been punched in the head too many times. Like, he can’t read cue cards and doesn’t speak well. It really turns around in Rocky III when he’s too fancy for his own good, somehow.

MadTV was so good. My family loved Miss Swan (“And then?” “No and then!”) but there was so much weird goofy comedy. I liked it better than SNL a lot of the time.

I actually gasped. I love this. Giant wacky print, hellooooo

I think they may be scared of their kids learning about something they don’t know about. Like, if they haven’t learned and understood global politics, their kids might be smarter than them somehow. And that’s not ok.

Dream burial? I am in a persistent vegetative state and have an open-casket funeral (once all my organs are donated) where I’m dressed in a giant vegetable-mascot costume. Me, as a giant carrot, in a coffin. Also, open bar.

Mashed potatoes? My favorite! Terry, you shouldn’t have!

I happen to like being well rested and having some time to get things in order at home once in awhile. I still go out, but only when I feel like it’s going to be something I couldn’t do on a regular basis. It may also help that I don’t drink alcohol so I’m never moved to “let’s just go to a bar.”
