  1. I think I would call that a NOT Many (2+2) out of Many
  2. So you are a middle aged woman... Same age as my daughter.
  3. Other than the acceleration, I was not impressed. I have a friend that has the 3 performance and we took a ride over to Miami a while back. Did not ride well as it is too stiff. Rear seating is horrible. Too upright and minimal foot room. Certainly not a luxury vehicle but you pay a luxury car price.
  4. I was not big on wifi connected anything, but two years ago I added a connected thermostat to my place in the Keys. It has been great. When I am headed down I lower the temp to a nice temp so that when I arrive it is comfortable. Also am able to monitor humidity when I am not there to be sure the dehumidifier is doing it's job.
  5. Doesn't that always seem to be the solution to poorly performing schools? Throw more money at them. And how often does that solve the problem? I remember visiting my then fiance in Russia. She was a teacher of Russian grammar, a must do well subject if you were to go on to university. Spent a day in her class room. Reminded me of when I went to school in the 60's, but not even that fancy. Very little money spent at that school, but the teachers were tough and demanding AND respected by the students. I often tell the story of me visiting her class room where she was teaching "middle school" students. She was giving a written dictation exam. Although it was all in Russian I was observing from the back of the room. As she dictated and the students were writing, she was walking up and down the isles looking over students shoulders to see how they were doing. I noticed she stopped at one student and repeated the dictation with emphasis to this one student who was obviously having difficulty. He didn't get it so she took her notes and rolled them up and wacked him over the head with all her might. WOW. That got my attention and I gasped. I told her after that if she had done that in the US she would lose her job and might have gone to jail. She laughed and told me that was nothing. She said when they act up in class she sticks them in the closet for the entire class period. Seems that she must consider me as one of her students...
  6. Roasted almonds. Seriously. But I think ice chewing weakens them and creates cracks that later cause breakage.
  7. And PLEASE don't tell me you are using chewing tobacco too, or Skoal or whatever...
  8. I'd say 27 cu ft is ginormous. Mine is 25 cu ft, which I thought was huge, and it JUST barely fits into the opening for it.
  9. It looks like I need to run a VJ special for my ice chewing friends. Buy two overpriced crowns and get one root canal free. Can not be combined with any other specials. Only valid on certain days that we decide. Cash only. All offers void where prohibited by law.
  10. NO, NO ,NO! NO, NO, NO... This is just so wrong. Just don't
  11. Wow, do you have one of these? I'm impressed. No wonder my wife calls me a red neck. I just use the square cubes from the (now Whirlpool) ice maker.
  12. I'll second that. The one fridge that we bought that was expensive AND rated #1 by consumer reports was the Samsung and it died shortly after the warranty finished. Yes. My 1964 Corvair is almost never a problem, and when there is an issue it is easily fixed with a wrench and a hammer.
  13. He's in the same place as Alex. Might be an interesting or at least stealth way to deliver something that we really don't want.
  14. Wow, now I'm confused. I saw God depicted as an elderly man in the ceiling painting at the Sistine Chapel. I thought the Vatican was an authority on these type of things.
  15. I'm so impressed to see TBoneTX posting in the Beauty Thread. Metrosexual, si man.
  16. Let me refer you to a previous post on farting...
  17. This am at Walmart the price was $3.92 a dozen which is down about 75 cents from two weeks ago, BUT the cost of the small packets of soft dog food we use (and the only ones that our little princess will eat when mama doesn't give her the good stuff off the table) went up by about 18%. Just cant win.
  18. My wife's sister in Russia has chickens. Talked with her last weekend and was asking about eggs over there. Not sure how many chickens she has, but she is averaging 17 eggs per day. Many go to family members and the rest she sells. They don't sell by the dozen, instead they sell based on 10 at a time. She gets 120 rubles for 10 eggs which is just under $2.
  19. Thanks. I really needed this. LOL
