Given all the heated comments below, I wonder if there have been any studies showing that some people just can’t taste that many differences in ‘quality’ food. I myself am probably in that category. Seriously, the Homestyle hamburger from McDonald’s tastes just about the same to me as one I grill myself, or from any…

Meh... it’s just a game.

We get 400 TOT’s (trick or treaters) each year. This is partly because we live within walking distance of 4 schools. But also because we go all out for Halloween at stonehavenmanor.net . So we are always looking for cheap candy. Thanks!

...and then pay for the grinder and the fresh spices, only to have it all go stale at home anyway, because who really uses that much pumpkin spice? I am the pumpkin spice king at my house. I sprinkle pumpkin spices in my ground pumpkin spice coffee, and then add pumpkin spice creamer. But still, I have had the same…

And... what’s Apples to Apples?

The food might be all inclusive, but I can’t imagine the alcohol is

You are completely missing the fact that it’s illegal to steal, but not illegal to recline. Seriously, get a better metaphor.

Oh, so do you attempt needlepoint in the back seat of a cab in New York city?
There are some places you just can’t do stuff. Using a laptop on a tray table in coach is one of them. Get used to it.

Hey! You know the seat is supposed to recline. Why don’t you take action before we do, rather than making us stand up, look over our seat, and ask “excuse me sir, can you move your rudely placed laptop/drink/Ipad so I can recline my paid seat like it’s designed?”

Cry me a river bean-pole. Learn to deal with it, spend the money on first class, or take a train. We all have our crosses to bear.

I think the biggest thing no one mentions is that sometimes you won’t like being a parent. Sometimes you won’t like your child. Sometimes you won’t want to come home from work. Sometimes you won’t like your partner because of something involving the child.

Isaac Asimov predicted a future in many of his stories, where the world was so crowded that people wore masks in public, just to have some privacy. I wonder how soon that will happen so people can avoid facial recognition?

I do the same thing, but use a bendy straw. The end of the straw can be flattened to slip between the ziplock opening, and slide out quickly while locking it closed. And the bendy part allows you to lay the bag flat on the counter as you suck out the air.

Personally, I wouldn’t bother with cutting curve in the table legs. And I think it might be easier to mount the templates on cardboard, rather than MDF. But overall, it looks like some pretty cool plans!

I would think that if you own the tools used in this video, you would have some way of getting lumber to your house. Also, at 2:50 in the video, he explains how to cut the plywood into 4 sections to make it easier to deal with. You could have this done at the lumberyard for a small fee (or free).

Why would there be a shipping cost involved? Isn’t the assumption that you would just buy the plywood locally?

I know. I’ve been working for 30 years and still haven’t reached that salary.

Well, if you live in the suburbs, there usually isn’t a “remote location” that’s convenient

Someone needs to make a grocery store version of Google Streetview, except with the aisles of the grocery store. Then we can organize our lists better before we leave the house!

It’s funny, my coworkers and I all got calls from our financial advisers wanting to ally our fears when the market took a big dip. And all of us said “I’m fine” because we’re in it for the long haul.
