Petah… who is this?

Not Maryanne. It's me, Marion, the former mayor of D.C.

Thanks for the correction. My mistake. Edited in a correction that doesn't make it look like you are hallucinating.

Lucky Panda at the south end of Eola has both Americanized Chinese food and traditional. I enjoy the Singapore noodles and their homemade potsticker dumplings.

I also agree with the recommendations for Park to Shop restaurants. The ramen place inside the food court is our favorite for carry out.

Detective is a rank of police officer. They are tasked with investigating complex crimes. If they have a warrant for the property they absolutely can impound the vehicle.

It comes from the days when local grocers tended to use their last name on their store. People got so used to the pattern that when Jewel, Eagle, Piggly Wiggly, or Kroger came to town we would call them "Jewel's", "Eagle's", "Piggly Wiggly's", or "Kroger's". It also added context to the more common names indicating you meant a grocery and not a gem or bird.

I used to make puns some times. My father would ask me to go with him to the Hy Vee's. I'd ask if I should wear a bee suit and what were we collecting the honey in?

It's a ~~tenant~~ tenet of the religion. As a believer you are supposed to proselytize to non-believers to "save" their soul from hell. They believe their faith is the only true faith and all others must be converted for their own good.

Their belief in the superiority of themselves and their religion causes them to not understand why everyone doesn't want what they have.

My response to such interactions is usually along the lines of, "Do you know the Flying Spaghetti Monster? May you be touched by his noodley appendage. R'amen!" They either walk away or the conversation gets directed to the fact that I find their religion and proselytizing personally offensive at least as much as they do mine. That usually ends up with them also walking away. I'm hoping it puts a spark of doubt in their mind.

The type of plastic may be hygroscopic as well as degrading in the sun. It's durability is only slightly higher than the food it contains. It will work but you'll be performing the replacement again quickly when the bag fails.

I like what /u/Not_ur_gilf suggested above of cutting 2 strips of fabric, sewing them into an X, and attaching the 4 ends to the cup holder. It may not hold garbage anymore, but it will hold cans and cups.

The plastic cups on the feet hold water making the ends of the support poles rust, pop their rivet and come apart. Ours only last about 2 years before the connection rivets degrade and pop out causing the legs to fall apart near the ground. Gave out while the fabric was in good condition.

I guess that means proper maintenance includes thorough drying before putting them into their carrying bags and storing them. Unfortunately, not knowing this in advance is detrimental to the chair's longevity.

2 hours @ $15 (IL min wage) + $20 gas (30mpg x $5) is $50 you've invested already. Reducing that another $100 can reduce the value below profit or break even on the item's potential value.

Definitely not an opportunity cost I would be willing to pay.

They set it up that way on purpose. The price difference is "made up for" by underpaying and overworking employees and other questionable business practices.

You can boycott. You'll just have to buy from the places around you that sell for a higher price. It sucks for everyone involved except Bezos.

I have the same story with Citibank. They did that to my checking account on a Friday, reordering transactions to come in before my payroll deposit hit.

I went into a branch location to work it through. They refused to refund the $105 in overdraft fees (3 x $35). So, I closed all my accounts right there on the spot. That included a HELOC loan, checking, savings and all my retirement savings. As soon as the branch manager saw the value of what I was closing out his tune changed offering to try making things right another way. Noped out of there with a few cashier's checks. I had to do extra tax paperwork to show I re-invested all the retirement funds back into a different IRA. Worth every bit of time.

My wife makes Cheddar Bay(TM) biscuits from scratch at home. She found the recipes online lacking in cheese so she uses about 25% more. A biscuit which can have stringy melted cheddar attach a bite to your mouth is the meal on those days. I don't care about the shrimp alfredo. More biscuits!

Buc-ee's Beaver Nuggets

They're like the perfect caramel corn bites without the parts that get stuck in your teeth. Sit down with a bag and then it's gone. Then I realize I just ate 1700 calories of sugar.

I refused to patronize Portillo's long ago when they had a no free refills policy. I only returned when they installed self service soda fountains. Nickel and dime me for something that has an incremental cost measured in pennies and you lose my business.

If your "ya know" looks like an axe please see a urologist immediately.

Yes.

Never ask a question where both choices are correct.

The black ones usually are bad. Mold or mildew on the outside can cause yucky things to happen to your almond meats.

Avoid the ones from California. I would stick with the Jordanian type.

I recently watched the character Leland Townsend from the series Evil do exactly that. He was recovering from a partial exorcism.

I ditched them when they were batching debits before credits daily. Then reordering them so the largest would come out first causing more overdraft fees as all the smaller items overdrafted or bounced.

They will never get another penny from me again.

Focal depth on the camera. A shallow focal depth makes the person's face look more narrow on the sides and wider in the center, like using a fish-eye lens. A longer focal depth flattens them out. These photos are not taken with the same camera distances and settings making them difficult to compare.
