Farding is one of my husband's favorite words. He'll be delighted when I tell him it was a topic on the forum. Don, my Nebraska-raised sister-in-law spent nine years in Mongtomery, AL, in the USAF, and was transferred to the AF Academy in Colorado…

I can't help but say - don't you mean "whine and cheese parties"? No, I don't really mean that. Just trying to be funny. Although the joke in Nebraska is we spray for Democrats around here. :>)

I'm guessing that in the majority of Kansas, taxi service is quite limited, but I see you're in KC so never mind. However, if he has a heck of a commute, it could be quite costly. Totally different angle - employee giving an ill employee a ride ho…

It's also a Seinfeld episode. George was in the pool, his significant other at that time didn't know about "shrinkage". I believe she dumped him soon thereafter.

Not having any children yet, all I know about parenting is that it isn't as easy as it looks, and it does NOT look all that easy! That said, anybody want to weigh in on how their mother would have reacted had you pulled something? Most of you will…

My Jetta is getting along in years, but I did the same thing when it was new. They DO have minds of their own! Lucky her for getting a new one - they're a sweet ride.

I believe you were OK to use "is" - Another of my pet peeves is nitpickers. Although peeves and nitpickers are both plural, your subject is another, which is singular. I have forgotten how to diagram sentences, but I enjoyed it when I did it! I'm…

Happy birthday, NaeNae! This won't make you feel much better, but I turn 29 tomorrow (the 23rd), and my hubby is taking me to a couple of University of Nebraska baseball games. Minneapolis is too far away, unfortunately!

I'd also like to know how easy it is to see a collar through a rifle scope! Those things are good, but . . . well, I'd keep my kitties indoors. I have one indoor cat, and several in the barn and quonset that run around the farm, keeping the mice a…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-12-05 AT 10:55AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Right on! With the aforementioned barn cats posted about in the feral cat thread, I'd have never known a tiny bunny existed unless they left a piece laying around…

I knew it was meant to be when I went to the Humane Society in Colorado Springs, and they had a VERY loving, cuddly calico cat named Camilla. On my very favorite cartoon "Muppet Babies", Gonzo's stuffed chick was named Camilla. However, since this…

Looks like he's hanging on yet, but not far from death's door. I was about three years old when he became pope, so I don't know any other. He has been a good leader of the church, and although I've never seen him in person, I can say I love him de…

Note to self: If Don D is in line behind me, say "Oh, no, please go ahead. You only have 57 items? I'm sure I have 58. You first. Really. I insist."

I have to confess I LOVE those things - it is so much faster. (I also use the self-check out at Wal-Mart - there is never a line!) But you're right - anybody could use anybody's card. It's sad that we have to worry about such things.

Perhaps the Post Office people are rubbing off on one of our office workers. She refuses to put a return address (using the stamp) on outgoing mail. Next time she says something, I think I'm going to say "Yes, I would like a return address on that…

I guess safety is saying that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

In Hermosillo, you also had to get on the bus, dodge psycho traffic crossing the street, guess when the office/bank/company is open, stand in a long line, have exact change (or the checkbook) . . . ah, memories. I didn't actually live there - just …

Yes, and I also went EEEEWWWWW. Once you step out of the shower and onto the bathroom floor, I consider that contaminated! But maybe that's because my husband wears his work boots from the cattle pens into the house. Still - EEEWWWW.

My favorite is Puebla - beautiful old city about an hour bus ride south of Mexico City with everything from a church every two blocks to an old fort and the home (now museum) where a Mexican family had a last stand with the French that is celebrated…

Hmm, it's kind of like wood smoke but sweeter. And I know there are many variations in wood smoke so don't ask what kind of wood! We have had a couple of kernels pop instead of burning, and occasionally I'll dump old maids in there for fun after a…

Well, Don has one way. The other way is wood pellets and a sterno-like gel. Once that fire gets going, you hit a button that turns on a little auger that runs from the hopper to the fire and it drops a small handfull of corn on the fire every so o…

Ack!!! My hubby found this somewhere (in a magazine, I think) Corn Fuel Calculator 1 Gallon #2 fuel oil = 22 lbs of shelled corn 1,000,000 BTU of natural gas = 170 lbs of shelled corn 1 Gallon of propane = 15 lbs of shelled corn 1 full cord of fir…

OK, I'm a calico-cat-owning, Volkswagon-driving, plant-eating, tree-hugging sort of girl, but the first thing I thought of was - he's a GROUNDHOG. He'll dig another way out! Can't wait to see the film on the snake bite. Will that affect his new w…
-
Thanks, Shadowfax. My next step is to convert wood to corn, to see how much we're saving by using our corn stove! I have a feeling those calculations will involve funny, fuzzy math. Anything is better than figuring attendance . . . except that al…

Don, my hubby and I were trying to figure out the other day - just how much wood is in a cord?

Pizza with Pete is the only thing I can come up with. Tell us a little about your company - how many EEs, what industry you're in/what you do, your location? I don't want to get personal (since your profile is disabled), but it might help.

I signed up for a tai chi class. In theory, it will make me feel better and help me stick to an exercise plan. Also, I am quite shy about trying new things by myself, so going to a class in the nearest "city" will hopefully broaden my horizons a l…

I lived in COS for two years and don't remember that! Have they done it for long? Doesn't the glow from Cheyenne Mt. get in the way? :>) Hubby and I will be at a comedy show with friends or hanging out with my parents. Either way, I'll be gi…
