Quote: Hunterhill4 honorable mention Vernors ginger ale
Vernors ginger ale is one of my favorite mixers when making drinks.
I really like it with Maker's Mark whisky and Sailor Jerry's spiced rum.
Quote: GWAEThat is kinda funny. They both came out and wanted to dig. I thought perfect, So I broke up a bunch of dirt in the hole and let them go in to pull it out. After literally 5 minutes they both stopped and said they needed water and it was time for a break. WTF. When it was time to fill in the holes I figured they would love to do that. Again they used a shovel for about 6 minutes and said it was too hard. However, what they did love doing was throwing rocks into the grass so I could run them over with the lawn mower.
You forgot to tell them pikachu was waiting at the bottom of the hole.

Despite all those Asheley Something ads, I think any problems in NYC are best exemplified by the GEICO ads where there is a delivery to his tiny NYC apartment. Rents there are outrageous and if you don't reside on the Fobes 400 list, then you don't reside in NYC.
Quote: lilredroosterSnooping around on the net I found stories saying that your mixed drink will get you higher if you use diet ginger ale instead of the regular ginger ale. Because sugar slows down the absorption of alcohol into your bloodstream. I tried it and compared and it is true. Because the best ginger ale companies use a high grade sugar substitute sweetener it doesn't taste bad. More bang for your buck. Also, this one is more well known and obvious but you get higher on an empty stomach than a full stomach. Cheers!!!

I'm going to have to see if my Publix carries the diet Vernors and give this a try.
I've tried mixing drinks before using Diet Dr. Pepper, but the taste to me was quite different versus regular Dr. Pepper.
Which is kinda strange since I can't taste much of a difference at all between regular and diet Dr. Pepper when drinking them by themselves.
Quote: rudeboyoiAM PM has this really good orange cream soda fountain drink. It's called something really generic sounding. Orange Whip I think it's called.

You make a good argument for allowing slot machines in all airports, not just those in Nevada.
Quote: MrVYou make a good argument for allowing slot machines in all airports, not just those in Nevada.
Yep. Slot machines should be in ALL the airports. And those claw machines they have in A.C. where the kids put in $.50 and try to manipulate the claw to get a real cheap prize - those should be in all the schools to teach kids about the value of risk. And a craps table should be in every corporation and Government building break room with occasional visits from John Patrick to give lectures on hedging your bets.

I whole heartedly agree with all you say, particularly the punishing of government workers with such senseless lectures.
Quote: AxelWolfThey should have slots, VP and table games in LV/NV churches since a large percentage of patrons hit up the casino before and or after anyways. Gambling with God day's, Jackpots with Jesuse, poker and prayers, slots for saint's.
Is it a sin to AP your church if they'd have a good promo?
What futility that would be...the odds of at post confession are the same as at pre-confession.Quote: lilredroosterAfter you come out of Confession the Papal Authority should require the Priest to give you a quote on your odds of getting in to heaven.
Quote: Mission146I'm not trying to brag, but my cheese and spice pasta sauce is unbelievably good.
Post the recipe?
Quote: GWAEPost the recipe?
8oz Heavy Whipping Cream
4oz Real Butter
6oz Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
3oz Shredded Romano Cheese
3oz Shredded Asiago Cheese
3oz Shredded Parmesan Cheese
(???) Garlic
(???) Basil
(???) Thyme
(???) Oregano
1.) Combine cheeses in a bowl and set aside.
2.) In a medium saucepan, combine butter and heavy whipping cream on medium heat, stir until blended as butter melts.
3.) When the combination starts to, 'Heavily simmer,' (Meaning a few bubbles start popping up) add the cheese roughly 20% at a time and stir in until the substance is even. You MUST add the cheese at this point because earlier and the liquid is not hot enough, later than that and the liquid will have bubbled up, burnt and will be awful.
DON'T TURN YOUR BACK TO IT WHEN WAITING FOR IT TO SIMMER!!!
4.) Add spices to your liking, reduce heat to low, continuously stir for three minutes.
5.) Either mix with or pour on top of your pasta of choice in the desired amount. I usually mix it with penne and spinach, but pour it on top of something like medium shells.
Can ya guess what happened.
Yep, 54 pieces of wood slid out the back of my truck. Fml, a cop drive by right as it happened. A few pieces were like 3 inches onto the road so he stopped with lights to keep traffic from killing me. He then asked for all my info, to do a report. Hopefully a ticket or building inspector doesn't show up next week.
Quote: wudgedThis is pretty close to alfredo sauce. Interesting you don't add flour to the butter, though.
It's plenty thick without any flour because of the cheese to other stuff ratio.
Ok all is well, kids spend fridays with my parents so after all the fun my mom decides to keep the kids for the night. We grab dinner and run to grocery store. I grab 8 32oz Gatorades. I go through self check out. 1 rolls off the counter but I catch it wheew that was close. However as I catch the one, 2 more fall off the counter and explode all over the place. My leg and shoes are soaked.
I made it home finally and now are not leaving the recliner until I go to bed.
Quote: GWAEWhat a cluster f%#$ of a day. Worked 11 hours. Then went to home Depot to get wood for deck. Took nearly 3 hours to get all the materials and load truck. Get home and wood falls out of truck. While getting all the wood together my wife was sitting on the side walkm she had keys in car and the car locked itself. That's fine except we did not have other set of house keys. I had to break into house to get other set of keys.

Have you ever been to Cracker Barrel? They have an entire collection of root beers, sodas, and all kinds of sweet sugary drinks. One opened up next to Silverton so I am going to go get diabeetus soon.
you guys must be going through something. Locking keys in the car I've found is often due to being overwhelmed with stress or worry. I am psycho OCD about not having a spare on me or In my wallet because of trauma doing locking keys in when my dad was in the hospital.Quote: GWAEWhat a cluster f%#$ of a day. Worked 11 hours.

For future reference, you can call a locksmith or get keys made from the dealership without a set. Think you need car registration for the dealership to do it.

I am not sure why the car locked. I am going to talk to dealership on tuesday. The car is a 2014 with push button start. It automatically locks itself after 5 minutes but it is not supposed to lock if the keys are in the vehicle. The doors also unlock when I just touch them as long as you have the key. The key was on the drivers seat so it should have unlocked itselft when I touched the door.
Today in deck building day. Starting off at 7am. One thing I was shocked by is each bracket needs 8 to 10 screws or nails. That will be approx 900 screws and nails today.
Damn sounds like you're driving a space ship. Nobody poor has a 2014 anything, but I never believed you were. Shiatzu though 900 screws.Quote: GWAEI am not sure why the car locked.

Quote: lilredroosterTrying not to get creamed on the currency exchange on upcoming Europe trip and I called Capital One and learned they can get you Euros with only a 3% markup and either no service charge or a very small one; you just have to give them advance notice. The currency exchanger near me is much higher and at the airport is even higher than that with for the amount I want a $10 service charge. Looks like a good deal. My penny pinching research is paying off small.
Most big banks will do currency exchange with no fees and only a small markup.

No it is paying off better than that. You obviously enjoy planning and focusing on details in advance so it time well spent for you anyway.Quote: lilredroosterLooks like a good deal. My penny pinching research is paying off small.
