I never worked at a bank, but my first job was in a grocery store. We cashed paychecks all the time unless they were over $500. We didn’t have that much cash on hand and as a cashier we couldn’t open the safe. We just called a manager and they brought the money. It was the late 80s, but it didn’t matter who the person…

When I worked in an Italian place, the red sauce, meat sauce and meatballs all had pureed onion, carrots and celery in them. I do that to this day in all three and other sauces. One large onion, one carrot and one celery stalk. If I need a little more sweetness I add more carrot. More onion for extra savory sauces and…

I have a 2015 Mazda3. I just want to be able to fold down the damn screen! 

A trick I learned from a DPS officer to help with the blind spot on any car is to turn the side mirrors out more. He said to put the side of your head against the drivers side window and turn the mirror out until just after you lost the rear of your vehicle. For the passenger side mirror, lean over until your head is…

How do I get the stand mixer with the heating function? Whip on “high heat” until the mixture is thick..... It’s funny, but real life a warming or cooling function on the bowl would be amazing. 

Metal can be used in a microwave. It just has to be thick, not foil like and relatively smooth. I accidentally left a butter knife in my parents microwave once and nothing happened. My microwave actually came with an uncoated wire rack so I can wave two plates of food at once.

That seems like a lot of mayo to me and I usually like macaroni salad. In fact I don’t see the purpose of the macaroni in this raw veg salad at all. Give me the raw stuff and the Italian dressing on the side to use as I choose and go away with 2-3 cups of mayo.

This is what I never understood about the whole Obama isn’t a US citizen stuff.... His mom is/was from Kansas. She’s a US citizen. He could have been born on the moon and he’s still a US citizen. Period, end of story. I know there were some strange theories she renounced her citizenship, blah, blah, blah. Show me that…

My mother eats the fried shrimp tails when the are very fried and crispy. I tried it once or twice, but it adds nothing for me.

I worked in an Italian restaurant as a cook. While there I learned how to use a knife and fork to get the tail off after the shrimp is cooked. If the knife is actually sharp, you can just cut the bottom side of the shell and pluck the shrimp out of the last section of the shell. The other way is to use one utensil to…

My theory is he always falls apart in December. I had him on many a fantasy team, but I always cut or traded him by December first. I blamed it on the cold weather in Buffalo, so it will be interesting to see if he falls apart before then. 

If you like the flavors of the original Jolly Ranchers, then their jelly beans are great. I like them better than the Starburst ones. 

My thoughts are Keating, McCain and the other four should have all gone to jail and never been allowed to hold federal office again. Regardless of the good or bad any of them did afterwards, Keating and the five proved how messed up politics was and probably had been all the way back to when our country started.

As a teenager I worked at one of the fast food chicken places. They drilled into our teenage brains that the way to get crispy crust and juicy chicken was cold chicken, cold batter and hot grease. We also double breaded the chicken. Flour , batter and then flour again. Drop it in the hot grease and 12 minutes later or…

Rosanne’s character will just die during her knee surgery and they’ll move on with the Conner Family or something similar. Her character was already afraid to die during the operation any way, so just pull the plug.

I guess they could ask Mr. Steele and his source since it’s been published that neither of them now believe the golden shower incident happened.

Before the invasion Saddam’s forces continually radar locked and occasionally fired on US and coalition planes. That is a violation of the of the cease fire at the end of the first war. That and that alone was enough, legally, to go in and take him out. The whole no side is completely innocent argument doesn’t hold…

Texas here. We have blind, double blind, 10 for 200, nil (nello) etc.. We played Spades so much we got bored and started rolling a die to make our bids. I was always fun when all four players rolled sixes. Good times, good times. 

I’m getting texts from Google about someone trying to log into my non-Google email account. I don’t have a Google account in the first place. Is this similar or related? It’s got a link to Google..../signins. I’m not touching that ever!

Pretty much all of them. This is specially true if you buy your ticket online, phone or the opening weekend. I’m in the middle of no where Texas and the best seats always get reserved for every showing until at least the third week of any blockbuster movie.
