Dog found in the freezer at our fav Chinese restaurant sm
well what used to be our fav. Now closed. This happened in the 80s. We still love chinese food though. Have it almost once a week.
On our takeout Chinese restaurant menu - We delivery! lol

A local restaurant had on its sign outside
AYCE DailEy specials...it was there for a while, but someone finally got smart and changed it. This is a pet peeve of mine, too. It drives my husband crazy at times when I start pointing out all the mistakes I see. I saw one on some papers from school, but I can't remember what it was...but from SCHOOL...hello???
I live in Louisville and restaurant owners all over town are
applauding him for having done it. The restaurant he went to right after that was just around the corner and the owner there said he didn't have guts to not serve him.
I've sold 125 books on half.com but most were my childrens college text books. I have sold some
t I picked up for a quarter at a thrift store. Old Dr. Seuss books do well. I price them a bit lower than the rest of the pack and put that they are from a nonsmoking home. Half.com does take a small commission but they deposit the check in your bank account monthly.
That is truly an example of crazy left-wing

This town has been through so much. The same storm that hit the town of Enterprise sm
the high school where 15+ kids died when a tornado hit their school, destroyed this hospital in Americus, GA. The town was devastated. Please see this local news link to help them win an MRI machine. Thanks everyone!!

Usually it would go on the painted part, but
type so that you can place it however you want. Have fun at the dinner party. 
Has anybody painted their house with
vinyl paint? Did you do it yourself? Is Evercote the brand you used? How is it holding up, and how did cost compare to regular paint?

pictures before it was painted - sm
lets see if this worked....
I had panel painted, turned out really
nice and has been that way for 3 years- never filled in any cracks.
My mom painted hers a soft gold color
in the family room, and it looks great. If you have built-in cabinets in the same room, sometimes you'll see contrasting colors used for the inside back, and that can look interesting.
I have painted over almost all the ugly paneling in my house
In fact, just painted my bedroom this week. Didn't use anything to fill in the grooves because they don't bother me as much as the ugly paneling did. But I would use a primer first, especially if it is dark. Good luck! Best thing I ever did!
Haha! I'd have gone out one night and spray-painted
a great big ol' laughing yellow SMILEY-FACE on the pavement at the crash site!
We painted ours too - looks great - didn't fill cracks either
We used Kilz first to block any stain that might seep through and then painted over it kind of an off white (called orange peel). I love it - so much brighter and looks good.
About the Chinese drywall, etc.
Why doesn't our country do more about this crap! Lead in toys, poisonous drywall, and I once saw a Chinese business woman on TV bragging about her drug business ... how she uses ingredients other than the real drug (often poisonous to humans) and is getting rich on this business. She said she sells to many other countries with the U.S. being a top buyer. WHAT?! This woman was literally bragging on TV about it.
I don't understand why we haven't done something MAJOR about this.
I never go to the doc or get RXs, but does anyone know if one can tell if they came from China? 
My son goes outside with the dog & raps on the window...
startles the heck outta me! And he knows it, and loves to do it! I keep telling him he's gonna give me a heart attack one day.
what about window tint
that's another removal option, heavy window tint like the car tint that you apply with soap and water, available at Lowe's and such.
How about window shutters either outside or in - sm
that you can pull open or shut. They are usually on the outside of a house (look at old, old houses) but I am sure you could do the same thing inside, though you would need room on both sides of the window for them to open flat.
2- month window
and then there won't even be a way to give a bad rating of the dealer.
huh? The Chinese are the Olympic masters of
were involved with ball playing by women too.....here's a link for their culture and their sports history....they were always thought of as weak but they were not weak....

If you get Chinese food delivery, use the
I save every packet of sauces from my Chinese food delivery. Whether I'm cooking bar-b-q (ribs, chicken, pork chops, etc), or baking whatever or grilling, broiling, or boiling, I can usually throw together something from those packets depending on what flavoring I want to achieve. My dad taught me not to look at recipes, but just to think about how flavors work together and trust your guts. That doesn't work for everyone, but I've made some delicious dinners when I didn't have any other seasonings in the house but those Chinese food packets :) Try to remember to balance out a sweet with a sour (or salty) flavor. I remember how I was horrified when he put cinnamin in a pot roast once, but it was the best roast I ever had. He had been doing it for years...he just hid it from me. Once I knew he used it, I enjoyed it more than I ever had!
Chinese for me and the kids as hubs will be

How to remove car window tinting sm
I've got some ideas off the internet using alcohol, Joy dish soap, ammonia, and wall paper steamer. Anyone else have any ideas? Mine is on the inside glass on all windows. It's 10 years old and really needs to be removed as it doesn't clean well anymore and smears so bad I can hardly see at night to drive. Any ideas out there? TIA.
Fog is not excused lateness. You look out window,

Sun exposure, yes -- through a window, no. YOU do some reading, please. nm

Go jump through your window, Chuck.

Chinese. Movie at the theater or home on DVD?

Sorry, but my holiday cheer has gone right out the window this year -sm
For the second time in 2 months, after never having had any problems with this in the past, my credit card number has been stolen and used fraudulently. I follow all the guidelines for using a credit card, etc., and check my account online constantly to make sure everything is okay (actually used to work in the fraud dept for a major credit card company) and yet again there are charges on there I have not done. That card is closed again and they are reissuing a new card number. Do I have to stop living in order that the little thieves of the world are able to provide for the people on their holiday list? Sorry, just really angry at this right now. Merry Christmas to me, huh?
News stated Mattel apologized to the Chinese?
They stated the lead paint issue was only a very small percentage of the recall problem and that poor design on their part was the main reason. News also stated it was important for them to do so, since "saving face" in China is very important. Saving children should be too.
Had Chinese takeout - my fortune cookie was empty
 And my husband is trying to tell me that means I already have everything.
Hmmm......
Olympics - Female Chinese gymnasts - Do you think they were all 16 or turning 16?
I know our girls messed up, but I sure don't think those girls were all 16... just no way.
Hilarious/scary Chinese-->English Learning Aid...sm
Since language is "our thing" - and particularly ESL - I thought you'd like to get a head start on what to expect from future Chinese dictators. Get a load of these Chinese-to-English learning blocks (I'll post this as an URL you can paste into your browser since some are reluctant to click on links):

I suggest we practice by forming sentences, such as: "The patient is a construction worker who was operating a navvy when a crustacea flew into the cab. Mistaking it for a darning needle, he swatted at the crustacea and lost control of the navvy, which crashed. Unfortunately, he was not wearing a safety armet at the time and was knocked unconscious..."
ok sk8girl, the window is wonderful and a really good thing
for your eyes. If you focus near and then you can focus out a window, you will save your eyes and type for about 20 more years than you would without a window. I lost my window and my eyes followed close behind. I love that you all have the same stacks of books I do, same bowl of almost food, required coffee mug and the fact that it looks like we all spend our lives right in that chair. ha ha.
Exercise, take a walk, jumping jacks, crack your window, do something

We just sold ours.
I always tent camped when younger...just loved it. When I married, hubby would not tent camp and the kids loved camping so we got a pop-up tent camper. We enjoyed it once it was up, but it was a lot of work, nearly as much as tent camping because since it folds down you cannot store much in there all the time, so there's packing involved. There is also work involved when you get home with it, opening to clean and air out and dry before folding it up again. If it's not completely dry before folding down it will mildew.
If I had a chance to do it again, I'd get a pull-behind or 5th wheel, because you can keep your camping items right in there all the time. Just toss in some food and go.
Just my opinion!
Hubs did window cleaning as a teen & always got swamped w/folks wanting them

I can understand it but it may be sold as that - sm
but may be more in line with an in-law suite. My DH and I rarely sleep together, he is either in the spare room on the couch. He snores something awful and of course won't go to a doctor (not apnea, he is underweight); he also cannot sleep without either the TV or a radio on ALL night; also has insomnia, so in order for me to sleep and not want to kill him we do not sleep together. We still get together but just don't spend the night together. Just about every elderly/older couple I know do not sleep together due to one of them snoring basically, they have the spare rooms in the house now that the kids are gone and they are using them to stay well rested.
Yeah but sold out everywhere (nm)

not sold - stolen
please do not post here
Whatever it is, it's because the US has repeatedly sold
My sister just returned from Hawaii. She's been to Hilo many times, but this time said she couldn't believe it - it was practically dead. Because of gas costs, many airlines, bus tours, etc. have eliminated that part of the big island. She said tourism in the state overall appears to be in a huge slump. And now our ****** Prez. says he wants to open oil drilling in Alaskan wilderness, and the US's coastal towns. Considering what future oil spills will do to future tourism in coastal towns, not to mention that we have to wean ourselves off that addiction, and that sure is short-sighted. But then again, that's the problem with the U.S. They don't see the big picture, just whatever will make the most money in the shortest amount of time, and screw the future.
Did you see that OJ got kicked out of a restaurant
He and his attorney are saying it was race related. Could it be that he's just an asz?? The owner was just on Fox and Friends and said it was because of the book OJ was going to put out.
Hopefully, some great restaurant here in...
Phoenix. DH is on a business trip for 2 weeks and me and my lil' ol' laptop are here too! Nice to work with sunshine and a warm temperature all right outside the hotel door!
One I was at a restaurant waiting
in line for a bathroo stall. Finally a lady came out of onel and I went inside. There was urine ALL OVER the seat. I was just livid. Okay lady, if you are too scared to sit down to pee because of the germs, then for crying out loud, WIPE UP YOUR PEE so it's not there for some total stranger to have to deal with. Or hold it until you get home.
Gross, gross, gross. 
Sold the property, finally
Well, I guess the man was wrong for wanting me to accept the $110,000. I have sold the property today for $140,000. That is a chunk more than I can now think of ways to spend- just kidding, planning on putting new flooring in, paying off most of the home where I live and paying my bills off. Hooray!!
I have sold some property, not closed on but
get this- the new "owners" have gone in (I was told they wanted to spring clean and thus the realtor gave them keys to the place to do so) and stripped the carpets that were there and also dismantled and took down part of a cabinet. The closing was to take place the first of July. I called the realtor and asked when did spring cleaning turn into renovation. One person had asked about a possible early move-in as their lease ran out today. I told realtor no moving in, nothing else done until closing. No answer from him- no emails answered, nothing. I sent him 1 yesterday saying - oh, never mind, I will check on my property myself either Thursday or Friday morning, hope I don’t find squatters there- guess what folks, now he calls late yesterday evening wanting to know can we close today. Oh, the power of persuasion. Some people really have the nerve!
Hubby and I sold our townhouse and
bought a house with a yard for our first dog. Soon we replaced the Explorer with a minivan because it was a lower jump AND so the dogs could have AC blowers in the back. So yeah, I'm with you. But I have an hourly job now, not MT work, and DH makes decent money. Still, we're in debt, like most people. At least we bought a modest house, much less expensive than what the bank thought we COULD afford, but we know better.
Update: Just sold for $299 on Ebay
if you can get your hands on one they are selling like hotcakes!!
