I suspect that question means something to you, but as far as I can remember, I just bought my tickets where tickets are normally sold. I just caught a good one-time deal.

Spring of ‘99, I was in Chicago and don’t ask me how I did this, but I got a ticket to sit right behind home plate at Wrigley Field for about $10. Even back then, that was nothing. Best ball game I ever saw anywhere. Can’t remember if I had any food, though.

THIS.

We live in very different worlds.

Yup. Or bullying someone onto a roller-coaster.

I’m sorry if I implied that all people who like the material you do are not decent and not desensitised. I just meant those who like that material who, unlike you, are unable to respect that that material is not something everyone wants to see. It seems to me that most horror fans I come across, and there are a lot in…

I just find the title and tone of this article completely offensive, making it out like there is something wrong with the person who does not want to watch this kind of material. I watch almost no US programming anymore because it’s basically a horrorfest out there and I have more than enough horror in my real life…

How about respecting that it’s not their cup of tea?

I’m only admitting it because I was asked almost directly.

Exactly. And some moths here (Mérida, Mexico) are roughly the size of a bat!

If I had written an article on this subject, these are the two methods I would have proposed because they work! You can also use a tablet in a dark room to lure all manner of other noisy critters, like flies and moths.

I don’t eat eggs, but I nuke scrambled eggs for the dog I’m minding — one minute per egg, then let sit for about a minute. They actually look like something I’d be happy to eat if I ate eggs — has some solid curds and some wet bits to wipe up with toast (or kibble). Doggo approves of them!

Let’s start with stock: How do you make yours? I only ever make chicken stock. I buy a lot of preroasted or grilled chickens (super inexpensive here in Mexico) and save all the bits that I don’t eat, then simmer them with onion, carrot, and celery, plus salt and pepper, for hours and hours. I then strain out all the…

Exactly. :)

I vote for a phone booth hack post next! Tips like, “When you call collect, be prepared to say what you need super fast when it’s time to say your name and then hang up!”

I rewatched Tremors the other night and thought, “Man, this one would be a great candidate for a drive-in.” Thanks for sharing your memory!

I wonder if that’s why my friend waited so long for her new car. It was a Ford, but I know she asked for some particular things and it’s a hybrid, so that might have had something to do with it. She was told a few weeks and it wound up being several months and she kept getting the runaround, to the point that she…

There’s a bank I deal with for a loan that still insists on faxes. It seriously amuses me that they honestly believe that’s more secure than sending me an email when I’d have to have the fax sent to a business with a fax machine if I wasn’t set up to receive them on my computer. My account manager also insists I fax…

Yes, it would make more sense. It is very frustrating dealing with people who still live in the dark ages. Their ludditeness bleeds over into other areas of inefficiency. Like “PayPal? Ha ha. Way too complicated for me. Let me write you a cheque.” [That will take more than two weeks to get to me. Great.]

I gave up on Homeland. :(
