Happy Tuesday cool kids! I had to jump back in to post this giant fish. It’s a few hunnerd miles northwest of me in Hayward, WI.
There, there. Listen, dear, I though your pic was very hunky but didn’t want to squick you out that an old broad thought so. ::Not to be confused with a pity flirt::
I have failed my vehicle emission test.
This is bad. I am feeling like I failed. I love my car and all, but never thought I would be this bad…It’s something with the evaporation system–dont’ ask me, I only fix people.
Kind bummed my lovely morning. I need to get a grip.
I don’t do the picture threads because there is only one pic of me online and it’s 20 years old. Also, people say that I should stop showing that pic. It ain’t much, but it’s all I got.
Off to pikc #2 son from his math tutor. Then, I clean.
Don’t feel bad, Sean, nobody flirted with me, either. And if I sent out a personal flirt to every cute guy in that thread, it would be twice as long as it already is!
Yesterday, my roommate and I did the household grocery shopping. I’d put potatoes on the grocery list because our other roommate said we only had three left, and then I used them up Sunday in lentil soup. Anyway, so we bought a bag of potatoes and when roommate #1 was putting them away, she found another bag of potatoes hidden in the dark depths of the potato cupboard. So now we need to eat a lot of potatoes. I’m trying to come up with low-fat potato recipes; it’s hard.
I’m not aware of any giant fauna in the greater Boston area.
rigs, I haven’t done the picture thread either. Most of my pics make me look like I’m stoned and/or insane. :tinfoil smiley:
Does anybody know what a bath sheet is?
My wife is scouring the internet looking for towels and curtains (valances?) and whatnot to match the decor of the newly remodeled bathroom and is boring me to tears in the process. Anyway, she found some stuff she likes at Bed Bath and Beyond, and the web site gives dimensions for the washcloths, hand towels, fingertip towels (huh?), bath towels, and bath sheets.
At a guess, I’d say that “bath sheet” is probably just a euphemism for “big-assed towel” but I don’t want to make any unwarranted assumptions.
That hardware guy in Jahdra’s link has a twin brother! The twin stands guard over a gas station right near the Tappan Zee Bridge.
Sean, given the hard line you’ve taken on the pity flirt, I’ll comment on the second slide instead. Nice fuzzy dice.
TWO, try making mashed potatoes using fat free veggie or chicken broth and non-fat sour cream instead of butter and milk. Add plenty of smashed garlic and some random selections from the spice rack (taste as you go).
I’m feeling very dull and uninspired this week. Maybe it’s the weather. It’s been so muggy here lately. Today isn’t too bad, but the house just seems damp, and opening all the windows isn’t helping. Maybe I’ll crank up the a/c for a awhile, and then bring the dehumidifier up from the basement. Think that’ll work? Will I be suddenly motivated? Will I then finally get the urge to clean my bathroom?
You guess correctly. They are nice, though-but a bitch to wash.
Indeed, your assumption is correct. They’re wicked expensive, but worth it if you can’t quite cover all your goodies with a regular towel.
Yes, a big-assed towel for, um, big-assed people! Like me! 
I bought some bath sheets to use as pool towels cause they are big assed and are great to drape over a chair to lie in when one is ummm… au natural. However, that is their only use. Rigs is right, they are a PITA to wash and dry. I like big bath towels but I won’t buy bath sheets for everyday use.
Last week I did a group flirt and nobody responded so I’m through with flirtin’. So There! 
No ice cream for us last night either. We had punkin pie instead, (that is so how you spell it), with whipped cream on top. I told my story about the pumpkin ice cream and TheGirlChild[sup]TM[/sup] said that she thinks someone still makes that flavor around T-giving. She should know, she used to work for the local Hagan-Daaz distributor. Ahhh, Those were the days.
After dinner we came home and watched Syriana. I liked it. It was pretty disjointed and confusing at the beginning, but after a while, it was still disjointed and confusing. But I got the point.
We’re getting some relief from the heat today. It’s only supposed to get up around 85F or 90F today.
The Oregon State Beavers* won the college world series (baseball) last night. Go Beavs!
- Yes, they really are called the beavers, and, yes, they have a dopy looking mascot, and if you’re thinkin’ it just ain’t possible for them to have a mascot, you need to get your mind out of the gutter. 'Sides, we’ve already heard alla those jokes.
BTW, the University of Oregons mascot is a duck. We’re very into webbed feet around here.
On preview: TWO, once, during my impoverished student days, I was forced to live for 10 days on nothing but a 10 lb. bag of potatoes, an onion, and a bottle of catsup. There are a LOT of things you can do with potatoes, none of the low-cal, but most of them good.
Yeah…so here is how lazy I’ve become.
In Firefox, I have one tab left open all the time, that is JUST the MMP. Even other SDMB threads are on another tab.
Send some of that extra heat this way, could y’all? make it pass over rigs’s part of the neighborhood, since she doesn’t like it, but some of us will take it!
The only thing I miss from grad school days at UGA is The Creamery. The Creamery was a wondrous place of cheap and oh so good ice cream concoctions. Fresh, homemade ice cream goodness daily! Ice cream cones, sundaes, cakes, banana splits, shakes, malts, ice cream goodness galore! I went there at least once a day. About the only reason I want to go back to UGA is to once again experience the ice creamy goodness of The Creamery. Ah! The Creamery!
I hear the creamery at FSU is pretty good and Tallahassee ain’t but about 90 miles away. I foresee a possible roadtrip probably in the near future. I can just hear somebody now. “You want to drive to Tallahassee for what?”
We used to routinely drive over 70 miles just to go to Denny’s. Tell somebody that he can stay home, but he gets no ice cream.
How far?
To end up at Denny’s?
No you did not.
Hah! The MMP is my Home page (at home anyway) (of course I have to update it every week, but whatever 
)
gee, I guess I did have something to say today, afterall 
There is (was?) a fabulous old fashioned ice cream parlor called Jahn’s. They used to have several locations on Long Island, I think they’re down to just one, in Queens, NY. Their speciality was The Kitchen Sink: it was one scoop of each flavor (they had over 50) plus a healthy dollop of each flavor of topping, nuts, sprinkles, whipped cream and a handfull of cherries. In 1976, it cost $30.00 and you needed at least 10 people to finish it. We’d have cast parties there (while in high school) and get one for the table (15 of us at least).
According to MapBlast, it was 74.8 miles. Actually, to be truthful, we’d drive down to the Seaside Heights beach (80.9 miles), smoke a joint under the boardwalk, and then go to Denny’s. But Denny’s was the reason we got in the car in the first place.
Although, there was the one time we accidentally drove past the exit and went to Atlantic City instead (126.7 miles), smoked a joint in the parking lot of the Trump Tower, and then proceeded to lose our gas money playing video poker. 
That’s more like it! I was afraid Denny’s was a destination, but it was a munchy-stop.
Well, we really like pancakes, you see. We once walked six miles in the pouring rain for a Grand Slam. Of course, we were seventeen and bored out of our minds, at the time.
