I had been the same way for years. Wachovia had a ton of possible fees but my balance meant I didn’t have to pay any of them.

Ah, but I am a parent. 2 sons. Doesn’t mean I want to sit in a restaurant full of children if it can be avoided. The odds of one of them having a really bad day, full-speed restaurant run-around, or food-throwing contest goes way up when several are around.

Also known as the ‘Nights to Avoid’ list.

whacked the yellow jacket nest with a poll.

Man they hit hard.

Last year I hit an underground yellow jacket nest while mowing my lawn. I got stung on the forearm and, before I could do anything, twice on the leg. I let go of the mower and was off to the races.

When sous vide goes wrong....

I bought a three-pack of these last month for my kitchen. They’re pliable rubber and work on the tile. Hard rubber ones won’t grip and the doors just pushed them around.

Really? I have learned something new today. Thanks.

I like rum with either coke or diet coke. It’s a safe my-mind-went-blank-and-the-bartender-is-looking-at-me order. I think you can taste the rum better with diet coke so I tend to use that if I’m having an unusual rum. Ymmv.

Note that I starred you. I believe in supporting the unfortunate, like gin drinkers. :-)

I have some flavored Cruzan rums - coconut, etc - for tropical drinks. Never tried their blackstrap. *makes note*

Every so often, the world produces a person willing to rise above the rest and take on the burdens of other men. I am that person. *wipes tear from eye, overcome by my own selflessness*

Excellent. I saw that in the liquor store when I bought the Bermuda Black. I’ll give that a try when the Bermuda is gone (so, tomorrow...)

Nice. I’ve added this to my shopping list.

It seems that, with all the opening/squishing the bag every few minutes, cooking eggs this way is more work than scrambling in a pan.

One of the big benefits of the past few years is the rise of cross-platform apps that sync seamlessly. I used to - dating myself - use a Daytimer (suit pocket size) when I was travelling, had a larger desk system for the office, and something else for my house. I was always moving stuff between them.

My wife is the same way. I don’t expect her to do this; it’s not her ‘style’, for lack of a better word.

No cheese in an omelet?
