Give in! Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiive in, sweater vests can look really keen.

Be a hero Doug, put the money into the Buffalo Waterfront. Make it really a thing!

I'm sure my mom feels the same way as between my sister, my dad and I we could have our own Sunday morning round table show. Poor mom, just wants us all to get our arguing out of our system before Christmas.

For a zestier alternative, I've found that a filet of trout (or cod or another flaky white fish) heavily doused with lemon pepper before sautéing works wonders.

I once had a clerk in a grocery store point me towards baking items when I asked where the soda was located. The hate runs both ways.

Also, squash. Just what? Why would I want my drink to taste like a gourd?

The majority of people in WNY call it pop. I prefer soda, however those aluminum containers that you can buy at the store? Those are pop cans.

I do wish that more game day signs were clever like these and made obtuse references... even if they're math based.

I can think of a few reasons: 1) general safety, if someone gets a ring, or another piece of jewelry caught on equipment it might be seen as the company's fault and 2) to prevent stones from engagement rings being lost because it gets banged up and fall out of the ring. Yes, that happened to my mom once when she was…

I think that the main point of the article is that at both ends (marcrobrew such as Coors, Miller and Bud, and microbrew craft beers) are guilty of the exact same problem of "innovation" for the sake of having something shiny and new instead of whether or not it makes for a better beer.

Nah, the stories are just as scary. Although I will gladly take a more "child friendly" version because I can scare myself easily enough no need for illustrations.

Americanos have their purpose, and that is if you want coffee but are at a place that doesn't have drip (or french press or pour over and whatever) coffee but has espresso. (Also, Gingerbread Lattes rock!)

Carpooling used to be a thing, no?

I've taken to prominently picking up a piece of trash and putting it in the trash can because it only takes one person doing the right thing to shame people from throwing their litter on the street. (I really want to start running up to people who litter and ask if they dropped that piece of litter... but I'm afraid…

There's a small issue with this one, and that's personal space rules vary by culture. I would amend it to teaching children to pay attention to cues that you are getting too close to another person for their comfort. (And I'm someone who is very protective about her personal space as well!)

Yeah, I once had a bad case of food poisoning from some packaged brie slices that tasted off. Now, if I try any dairy that seems off I get rid of it. One night in bed throwing up (and shaking) is enough for me.

Not really, as the FDA recommends that you throw out any kind of cheese that has mold on it.

Is this to lessen the amount of sodium in the food? If so, then the problem isn't salting the pasta water but the amount of sodium are in the sauces (which I'm guess are not made in house).

Same thing. I'm terrible when speaking to someone who has a different accent with me because I start picking up on their inflections and injecting it into my own speech. FWIW, I do love accents and regionalisms and wish that the US would be more like the BBC which requires a variety of accents on television including…

For the life of my I've never understood why people outside of Western NY haven't embraced beef on weck.
