That’s a _great_ idea.

Plus, unlike some other things (KitchenAid stand mixer, AllClad roaster) you can find Pyrex at estate sales and second-hand stores.

I agree. I use Postbox on my tower and notebook. On my Android phone I use Blue Mail. Between work and projects and personal I have ten email accounts scattered across Gmail, AOL, Yahoo and Ymail, and my ISP. These two handle every email account out there without the slightest problem.

Amusing story...author William F. Nolan worked with co-author George Clayton Johnson over a three-week period to produce the novel. He openly regarded it as a hack piece written for the money (to wit: paying his children’s college tuition). An interesting quote from a fantsite:

When first written, Logan’s Run was meant as a dark satire of 60s youth culture, in depicting a society geared toward the young and without mature guidance. Since “Never trust anyone over 30" has fallen by the wayside, I wonder how well it would work in today’s world. Most YA fiction is about the teen hero triumphing…

I’ll believe this. I lived and worked in DC for a long time, and often struggled financially. My job moved to Baltimore, I moved with it, and on the same income I’m much more comfortable. It’s amazing how a 45-minute drive can change the cost of living.

I’ve read about and tested a lot of anti-malware tools in my day and remember HitmanPro as being a legit program.

Robin Hood and the thieves of clothes. Rated NC-17

There is (or was) a movement called Buy Nothing Christmas, which advocated giving nothing and doing meaningful activities together, or giving handmade gifts or distribute heirlooms, or just reducing the spending and giving one or two carefully thought-out, reasonably priced presents. It was started by Canadian…

Also, loved the remark about how we’ll have a Bond who enjoys being Bond. I ranted to a friend recently that I’m tired of heroes who are dark and grim and mournful, who are seeking to avenge a long-lost loved one, or seeking that loved one because they’re missing, or who are being forced to be heroes, etc. I’m ready…

I wish someone in Hollywood would see the potential for a whole series of movies based on Northwest Smith. He’ be like Han Solo, except there would never be any doubt that he shot first.

Yea, I’ve gotten “why are you single?” a few times on a first date. I just responded saying that was kind of a loaded question then asked them what they worked at. It never really worked out with someone who would ask such a direct questions so quickly, they have different boundaries than me...

I’ve had dates like that too. I just wanna say “Stop badgering me, I get enough of that from my kids!” besides I don’t want to date a guy that insecure...

I have been on several of those lately myself. I call them Interview Dates. It makes you feel like you’re trying to get a job as opposed to meeting someone new. The part that kills me is how the Interview Daters cap it all off by asking why I’m not interested in dating them again. Maybe because you spent two hours…

Yeah, that definitely sounds like some serious overkill. Questions should stimulate conversation, not be the entirety of the conversation. Constantly asking someone if they’re uncomfortable or if something is wrong is not a good idea either.

I am looking to hire cooks and waitstaff for my newest restaurant - Punchie’s This Is How We Serve It.

I just had a ginger gold for the first time recently (I went apple picking). They are fantastic! I’m thinking about making the hour drive again just to get some more.

This is the way to go. A few years ago my girlfriend and I were able to score reservations to the French Laundry. We are by no means high rollers and I don’t think I’ve ever been to a place half a nice. We weren’t intimidated by all the nice stuff, and when something we were completely unfamiliar with presented…

Thanks, jerk. I tried it with Raspberry-honey balsamic vinaigrette and now my house is crawling with ants.

I always wished I could have the complet breakfast that flashed up! Am I the only kid that wanted eggs, bacon, toast and grapefruit and was only ever offered soggy cereal?
