PSA: The new Girl Scout cookies called "Toffee-tastic" are, indeed, something-tastic.

When did Samoas become Carmel Delights?

It depends upon which section of the Girl Scouts you buy from (really). They're still Samoas in some.

Internecine strife among the Girl Scouts. Factions. Double agents. It's all the stuff of nightmares, but meanwhile, the cookies are still pretty solid.

There's different sections?

I guess I should have said which troop. There are two different bakeries/companies that make the cookies, and the names differ based on where they came from. So different troops will have one or the other.

Great question. Guessing Tim and Em are. I still can't figure out MOP. Leaning towards all shtick.

Yeah. It apparently was more touch and go for a minute than I had thought. Feeling pretty damn lucky.

It's funny, because dying doesn't really scare me at all. But not being around to be a dad to my little girl is ####### terrifying.

Imagine you're GM and multiply by like, 23.

My bandage fell off last night, so I snapped a picture. There's one on the front too. My head looks like a baseball. (more like a baseball than normal)

Nice hairstyle. What, are you going to a Sex Pistols show in 1977?

Sorry, too soon?

I'm not surprised it's that much. In fact, I'd go so far to say that's letting the Park Ave people off easy.

Can't wait for the follow-up post in 4 months that the clients suing the contractor for shoddy work and/or not paying the last month.

Of course, as an anthropomorphised cartoon animal, Tony the Tiger is the daddy of all furries, and so theres a fair amount of artwork featuring him. This artwork is not always safe for work. It also seems fair to assume that Kelloggs does not want its brand to be associated with say a picture of an extremely muscly Tony, naked save for his neckerchief, masturbating on an exercise bench.

I have a stupid question. I made a large vat of chicken/smoked sausage/shrimp jambalaya a week ago on Wed. Because I haven't been able to really eat for a few days, it's sat in tightly sealed tupperware in my fridge since I made it. It's fantastic and I hate to throw it out, but I'm thinking a full week is a little long to go in for some today. Thoughts? Damon?
Click to expand...
you're fine for at least another week

 
My son has a dr apt today. While he's 16, he still sees his pediatrician.

15 minutes in the waiting room, after only getting 2 hours of sleep last night, is a harsh reminder about kids being the worst.

this is what I do... but even still, given the scope of this project that number shocked the hell out of me. I was expecting 80-90k, escalating to 100 once we start digging around and realize there's asbestos/skeletons(just happened up the street)/shoddy plumbing/etc, etc.

eta: and tbh, my first thought was that it was going to be 40k, so I just took my intuition and doubled it- pretty good rule of thumb for this kind of work.

Yep, agreed on that. And glad you made it through, even with the baseball head.

 
WTF is wrong with you people? Ninja - gonna need more details on the showering. What do you wear? What do they wear? Are they young Thai nurses or battle axes? Do they giggle?

we have an old, repeat client that needs the bath in their NYC Park Ave Master Bath replaced with a shower. We did the original apartment 10 years ago (before I started working for the company). very high end.

this is a tough project- waaaaaaaay too small to typically get good contractors in, but way too high-end to screw around with a typical handyman/small outfit; it will be very easy to screw up, and pretty tough to make money on. we were fortunate to get two bids from part of our usual high end stable of contractors.

replace bath with shower (including waterproofing, new stone shower surround, shower glass and shower plumbing fixtures)...first bid just cam in- guess how much .

A thousand pardons, GM. Despite what NF's website says, it's not available through NF on my Roku box. However, it is available through Amazon, Hulu, Vudu, and Google, so depending on how you access streaming services, maybe you have access to one of those and can get it there.

Well that was very nice of you. We bought a new TV this summer with Roku built in. I see Hulu on there, so maybe I'll try to look there tonight. I'm not sure why Netflix needs to have different branches of service
Click to expand...
Netflix has what now?
Click to expand...
I have no idea that I'm saying.

I thought Netflix gave you access to movies. It does and it doesn't. Apparently the movie I want to watch is on Hulu. I don't know what that is...assume some arm of Netflix, I dunno and I don't really ####### care. I pay for Netflix, I was hoping it would have movies I want to watch. That's not the case really. If I have to pay Hulu to watch a movie, I probably just won't. I liked it better when I could just go to the store and rent something in person.
Click to expand...
No . . . your Roku box (or Roku installed in your TV) gives you access to various streaming services, of which Netflix is one. Hulu is another. They're competitors. Think of Roku as a gateway to streaming, with Netflix only one potential option. When I checked my Roku (which is brand new - having a blast with it) this morning for Wolf, the search function showed it as available on several services - just not Netflix. However, Hulu, I think, is free, and as many here mentioned, if you ever buy anything from your Pacific Northwest buddies up at Amazon, Amazon Prime is an excellent deal and will give you access to Wolf and many other movies for free.

Short answer, you can watch this movie. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!

I don't throw this term around lightly and only use it on 2/5 of my kids, but.....

I love you. Thank you for this. This is all I ever wanted anybody to tell me.

not even close.

it would take over 30,000 bowls.

 
I might have overdone it on the margaritas at La Mex last night. I apparently peed on my tire as she was getting the boys into their car seats. I'm actually embarrassed.
