I've loved a lot of people in my lifeâ¦but I've also had a few that fucked me overâ¦and that's it..they were gone.

Why is that so difficult to understand for some women?

They're already running Food Network, at least.

I hear ya.

I've often lamented in the past, that I remember back in the day, when MTV and VH1 actually played music.

I never thought I'd also add to that list that "I remember back when FoodTV (Network) used to actually have cooking shows.

Hell, even their spinoff network, the Cooking Channel is starting to have less and less cooking show content.

*sigh*

I just don't get why every fscking channel seems to migrate towards "reality" or "contest" tv.

Not true. I've got 14 channels of shit on the TV to choose from.

I think the correct number was 13 channels of shit on the TV to choose from.

It is about as ignorant as saying 'well, if I had a broken leg I would just keep walking!' It is easy to picture just walking away from an abusive relationship when one has never actually been in one.

I don't buy it.

If a normal person puts their hands on a hot stove, it hurts and they remove it quickly.

If you are being abused, you get the fuck outâ¦..if not, something is wrong with YOU>

Let's not sugar coat it by being politically correct. I think the correct word to use is insecure.

How about even less sugar coating? Fucking Stupid.

I like and started with a SMALL set of Wusthof Trident, and I've added a few that I liked, a 12" chefs knife, and a 7" Santuko (sp?).

I agree however, that it is best usually to buy separate, but a small set is good to start with, get a chefs knife, paring knife, etc.

I"m looking to maybe experiment with a nice longer carver like this: Granton Edge Carving knife, and possibly this nice Chinese vegetable cleaver.

You do often get what you pay for, these tools can last a lifetime, so buy quality..save and buy as you can.

I like my All clad stainless steel pans, I have a few great cast iron piecesâ¦and lately, my most used kitchen toy, is the Vitamix blender. Yes, a ton of money, but worth it I believe.

Just remember, you don't have to buy everything at once, save and get pieces as you can.

I figured out long ago, it was better to buy one pan that was $60 and keep it for life, rather than buy cheap pans that you threw out after a year or so and replaced. That and I don't worry about hot spots either.

As for brewing, cheap way to do brew kettles for 10 gallon all grain batches, get a grinder and cut the tops off of full sized kegs.

It helps if you can get your kegs to use from friends that have a "don't ask, don't tell" type attitude as to how they acquired them.

;)

For that matter, Luke and Han didn't eitherâ¦but wowâ¦Carrie went south bad and went earlyâ¦.

My biggest gripe is the use nowadays of the fucking backup radar systems that never seem to turn off.

THey keep setting off false signals on my radar detector while trying to find cops in speed traps. It seems the Audi's are the worst offenders.

Wasn't there laws and regs against having radar in a car? Does it have to be always on, how about only when they are backing upâ¦.not needed when driving forward.

I dunno why..I used to LOVE to see what would come up each year.

Sadly, slashdot lost its sense of humor for some reason.

OMG Ponies, R.I.P.

:(

I used to look forward annually to see what would come outâ¦why did they do away with it?

:)

Seriously, one day of OMG Poniesâ¦was fun and funny.

RIP April Fools on Slashdot.

I just hope the voters in his Dist. see fit to vote for someone that believes more in the constitution.

Folksâ¦leave our food and drink alone eh?

You've been saying that for ages but you still haven't bought anything in spite of the fact that there's lots of those cars around for not that much money. I'm starting to suspect you're just trolling.

You're right, I've not bought one yet.

But in past couple of years, just when ready to get one, something came up.

I really am hoping later this year, I can pull the trigger and get one.

I constantly am still researching them, what to look for when buying, what I can get for my money, especially looking for a more or less already fully restored one, in the $18K range.

I've been wanting one of these since I was a kid, so, it isn't unreasonable to still be wanting one while saving the funds up.

But I don't know how to work on cars, I'd like to learn on this one since it would be such a simplistic car, no computer, basically and engine with carbs and drive train. But, I need to get one in as good of condition as I can to start with.

And, there aren't that many of them in my immediate area of New Orleans. I see many more offered in TX, and it does take a bit of time/money/effort to buy an antique car that long of a distance.

If ya'll know of a good deal on a '73-'76 Trans Am with a 455 4-speed, drop some links for me. Even if I can't get one this minute, it helps my research.

However this doesn't actually look for people acting out, it looks at facial expressions to determine if a person is mad. This may be interesting itself but, I would submit the population of people who get mad while driving is so much larger than those who actually act out their aggression that this is unlikely to be the least bit useful.

They could save a LOT of money on this, no need for fancy eye tracking, etc.

Just have some simple sound recongnition, and list for how many times I yell MotherFucker per minute, and that would be an easy gauge on my mood and opinion of the pinheads driving around me.
