The people on the corner are gone. My husband noticed that one of their shutters are broken off and a coach lamp has been pulled out of the exterior wall and is hanging by wires. They must have moved in the middle of the night because I didn't see or hear anything. (I am a chained housewife.) Using my crack investigative skills it appears that the house is in pre-foreclosure. It also appears they may have been renters since 2009, though I'm not quite sure about that last bit. One thing I am sure of: someone wasn't happy.

Should this be in the exciting thread?

Mountain dew is crack! I actually havent had any yet (only last time I was here in Pittsburgh in 2010) but I will cave sooner or later. I also dig root beer. We have a type of chewing gum in Sweden called Jenka - root beer tastes like liquid Jenka.

Furthermore I like cherry 7up. And I don't even like cherries. Soda (or pop as pittsburghers call it) is definitively my biggest vice.

You get awesome points for liking root beer. My husband hates it. Says it tastes like carbonated toothpaste with vanilla. The other day, I was trying a new product, A&W 10, which is AWESOME, btw. My husband comes in, doesn't look at the bottle or give me any time to say anything, and chugs. The look on his face when he realized it was not what he thought it was was priceless. :rofl:

It almost makes me want a root beer float, except it is 8am and I don't have any ice cream.

lol Thanks. Root beer... what's not to like? I also like ginger ale btw.

My wife prefers A&W root beer. Of the three or so different brands I've tried, A&W is definitely the best.

My husband enjoys root beer, especially the one that Trader Joe's sells. At first, I couldn't stand the smell and the taste. I started liking root beer after two years of asking him for an occasional sip.

I think I may have discovered a slightly more time-efficient way to get to work. Excelsior!

We've finally moved to the Westside last weekend because my husband could no longer take driving over three hours daily from Santa Monica to Monrovia. We now live only five miles from where he works. He rode on the bus for the very first time on Monday to go to the office but missed his stop on the way home. He had to walk for several blocks and it was very windy. When he arrived home, he told me he learned that buses don't stop in every designated bus stop and next time, he'd just have to give the driver a heads-up to drop him off in a specific bus stop. wacko.gif

When the climate becomes warmer, he will start cycling to and from work.

I complain a lot, but root beer, corn dogs, and peanut butter and chocolate are the last hills he has to die on. Most other things he initially did not like that I liked he learned to enjoy on his own. I didn't really like labskaus the first time I had it. It is a traditional northern German dish made with potatoes, beets, corned beef and/or fish, pickles, onions all mashed together. It looks something like if a guy who drank a Costco sized bottle of Pepto Bismol vomited on a plate and someone came along and put an egg on it. But over time, it became more and more tolerable and now I do enjoy making it for my husband a few times every winter because he loves the stuff.

Congrats on the reduced commute for your husband!

Eating another pumpkin chocolate chip cookie. Nom nom nom.

I have a baking obsession.

the sewn up flap of skin from my wisdom tooth is separating away from my molar.

It feels loose and hurts. This is very strange.

Is there pus or a yellowish discharge? If yes, have it seen asap.
