Mine’s a second oven but otherwise I also store the cast iron there. I figure that even if I forget it’s there while I preheat, the cast iron won’t get damaged.

I am so going to work the phrase “sorry, but I have the delicate hands of programmer” into conversation this week.

If all someone wants to do is get rid a mouse, there is no such things as “just” getting a cat.

My brother-in-law’s a Bostonian, so the 30 years he’s been with my sister have been full of “Sox this” and “Patriots that”. As a native Atlantan most years, most years I respond “Oh, yeah? Well, how ‘bout those Atlanta...um..those...you know...those...um...dammit!”

Right now my Super Bowl get-together is me, my wife, son, and cat a whole bunch of close friends that hold me in high esteem and can’t wait to spend time with me. I hope I have enough food!

I am sooooo doing this for my Super Bowl get-together. (For some reason, my mother is thrilled whenever I find a use for my bundt pan. Go figure...)

I like to lie around getting healthy by eating bacon and drinking whiskey*. Also, my wife finds this incredibly sexy.

Laminators are one of those items that Amazon tosses on a deep discount periodically. I got my Scotch-brand laminator for $16 with a hundred pouches for another $12. It’s been well worth the price.

Oh, no - not a slight at all. Just acknowledging your eclectic mix of items this week.

I just bought one of these for my wife to use in her home office. Since Valentine’s Day is coming up and it’s on sale - it’s a win-win (assuming both wins are for me).

Wifey: What is this? *pokes at food on plate*

I wouldn’t say I ruined it. I just thought it needed something before I tossed it into some Mountain Dew. Now THAT hit the spot!

Are there any that don’t have bluetooth/wifi? I don’t need an app to cook dinner so the extra electronics are another point of failure.

That’s been my experience too. I’ve called Amazon more than once when this happened and they just refunded me the difference. Much easier for everyone concerned.

I’m a huge fan of this method. It gave my Johnny Walker Blue a real zing and made my Macallan 18 drinkable.

I live in Duluth, GA. I can verify that it’s real cheap.

Personally, I would buy the car outright. I *like* not having a car payment.

Wow, I’m sorry that’s been your experience.
