I don't think I've ever heard "continue on" or "exit out" used in a sentence. The ones that really grate on my nerves are "like", "you know", and the misuse of then and than. When someone uses like several times in a sentence ("I was like", "She was like", "I'm like") it makes my stomach...

Now that's funnier than the original joke! :plbb

A woman and a baby were in the doctor's examining room, waiting for the doctor to come in for the baby's first exam. The doctor arrived, and examined the baby, checked his weight, and being a little concerned, asked if the baby was breast-fed or bottle-fed. 'Breast-fed,' she replied.. 'Well...

Well I finally got to try my first sourdough recipe. I used the "Sourdough English Muffins" recipe that miss_thenorth posted in #63 above. All went well but the finished product seems a little dense or heavy. I don't know how cooks and chefs say it. They taste wonderful but there are only...

I'm determined to try a RMH one of these days. It'll probably be a small greenhouse project I have rattling around in my head. Thanks.

Hey Paul, I have been studying rocket mass heaters for a couple of years and I have a small rocket stove that I built to process Maple Syrup. My wife owned a woodburning stove shop from the late '80s through the '90s. Being a mechanical engineer I became her technical department. Over the 12...

Something that I did not look at was the total weight of the two different Hershey's products. Maybe if I go back and look the total amount of chocolate could be the same. Or maybe even more - fat chance.

I have no idea how big your hoop tunnel is but you may want to consider a fabric instead of plastic. In a cold wind the plastic will shred and blow all over the county. A cotton canvas will hold up much better. Also there are shade screens that are made of polypropylene that come in 50 and...

Thanks Mark. I also read in the Blaze that the Glenn Beck on-line TV show now has 230,000 fulltime subscribers. That's more that twice the subscribers that Opra has. Yeaaaaaaaaa! The "Day of Rage" - what a joke. Here is an excerpt from the article: A US Day of Rage is the title given to a...

I think this one is about the most in-your-face packaging scheme. I have seen ads on TV about the new Hershey's Kisses with air bubbles. They show two lovely ladies enjoying the chocolate like it's something wonderful. They have taken some of the milk chocolate out and pumped air into each...

I wonder if the amount of antifreeze we need at our latitude would stop the sunlight. It sure is worth some experimentation. One sealant that comes to mind is called Mono. It's a thermoplastic caulk that is wonderful for this type of application. MONO

Yes, let's make government a little bit bigger and more invasive. How about another bureau of do-nothing government employees. We could call it the BHCW (Bureau of Hot Coffee Watchers) and pay them enormous salaries.

Back in the 60s crow hunting was very popular where I'm from. It takes about ten of them to make a meal for two. I think the first time I ever saw a rotisserie on a grill was back then and it was full of crows. A very few people around here still hunt them.

miss_thenorth - your sourdough waffles recipe does not use any starter. Is the 8 to 14 hr. holding time enough to sour the dough without using starter?

After our little get-together last night it has been determined that a closer look is needed. Jeff, the retired Toyota mechanic (who is much older than I expected) drove the car, lifted the front end, listened and he even used a stethoscope to listen to certain areas inside the tranny. We...

Can someone please remind me about what makes it a "harvest" moon? I think a blue moon is a second full moon in the same month but I don't remember about the Harvest moon.

Wow! How long did it take to cook down 2 bushel? I did 2 Qt. the other day and it seems like it took forever.

Mark - I'm glad you mentioned searchtempest.com as I have been using it for about a year and it is really nice.

Take a few minutes break today and breathe deep while you watch this little video. It's not a new one but it's a good one. FDNY

Yeah, me too. I just close my eyes and swallow.
