We split our shopping between Publix and Walmart Neighborhood Market, and sometimes Fresh Market (A Whole Foods clone only on the east coast). We do keto exclusively so we tend to chase the sales on proteins or have to get very specific products only sold at one of the stores. It is a pain but at least they are all…

That bar actually sounds fantastic. I used to drive hard in the paint when I was younger, but now that I’m almost 40 I can’t handle the noise, the ability to turned off like a switch a few years ago. Even though I’m not much of an outdoorsy person, my favorite bars have become places with some nice porch seating,…

I don’t cook much, but I use the hell out of salt on things I eat. Table salt is usually just fine but I do like something more coarse on meats. Lately I’ve been crushing up some of this pink Himalayan bullshit my wife picked up real cheap at the store. I like it a lot.  

Some of us have been lurking/commenting on different names since the Consumerist days. The comments are definitely more entertaining/infuriating the last couple of years.

Where I live the service industry is so horrible that you are lucky if your order comes out right even at the “classy” places, but going by memory it seems the servers who didn’t write down our orders were better and had fewer screw ups.

It makes me mad (at myself) that I’ve had Lastpass for many years now and have never thought to do this.

Most of what I would soak were the stainless all-clads that are the exact opposite of non-stick, until my wife got one of these (not pampered chef brand though):

Just so long as you aren’t that guy wearing the ill fitting slacks and puffed out button down shirt with the shoddy looking fleece jacket and lanyard. This generic systems engineer guy is all over the place I work. And “he” drives a damn Tacoma. I’m getting close to his age but I refuse to turn into him. I dress like…

Don’t knock Pale Sunday Evening. They are on the Up and Up (tm).

Unfortunately I found that out at the dealership when I stopped by. Was hoping it would fit diagonal but it was still too short. Growing up my family always had a Caravan, so we fit sheets and hockey equipment no problemo. I can fit 8' planks in the SRT8 but that is about it. My wife’s hatchback could fit 4'x4' half…

Damn, I was leaning towards the Promaster since I’ve a good relationship with the DCJR dealership, thanks for the tip.

I’m on board with everything you are saying. My next vehicle will absolutely be able to fit a full sheet in it securely. That is why I’m thinking Transit or Promaster.

Unfortunately those last about a week around here before they are stolen and put on a flatbed to a state like Maine with shady registration processes. I just want something to be able to carry the more than occasional 4x8 sheet of plywood and/or large piece of furniture for restoration. My lizard brain has been…

I wear cotton for the reasons suggested and use one of those dye and scent free detergents and a bit of Borax to wash them. Hockey equipment on the other hand requires a bit more muscle. They get a wash in Pine Sol after every 5-6 games and a thorough drying (and maybe an alcohol spritz) after every game.

That sounds fantastic. The breweries around here aren’t quite as adventurous unfortunately.

I’m not a brewer (so I have no idea what I’m doing) but my friend is, and 6 or 7 years ago I said I wanted to make a beer that tasted like pizza. Fresh basil from his garden was one of the main flavor ingredients. I thought it ended up quite good.

I used this a while ago to clean up old posts from a time I used FB for more than events and my maker page. It worked pretty well but as it said it had to be run a couple of times to get everything. Still so much faster than manually deleting each one.

If you were there at the same time as me I guarantee you served me pecan pie at 3-4am on more than one occasion. I live in the south now and still talk about that pie lol.

LOL wouldn’t surprise me, we were like THE alumni bar to go to (except for maybe the Skeller R.I.P.), we weren’t too rowdy but because of the crowds and the huge lines waiting to get in I ruled with an iron fist. Especially if you dropped a glass or bottle. If there was anything I was an ass about it was that. Mostly…

I’ve done the same thing. I’m fine with kids at bars as long as they are behaved and not screaming. My dad used to take me to the bar all the time on the weekends after little league or whatever. I’d have a Shirley Temple and play video poker and not bother a soul. But I’m not going to change my speech patterns for…
