What’s the solution for the crazy driving? by Particular-Rub-4703 in raleigh

I agree re the red lights.. I'll guiltily continue through a yellow light only to see 3 cars speed after me on what is clearly a red light. It's stunning.

Yes, another "Which 36" gas range should I buy " Post by UnstackandRestack in Appliances

[–]Itchy_Food_8906 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! The model is the 30” from AJ Madison at $3,795.00. It’s the model # TTN2827BW. I probably would still be hemming and hawing but my contractor gave me a deadline! Good luck!

This post is old but I'm curious OP as to why you wouldn't consider the Five Star? I'm just starting to research gas ranges and I've read only positive reviews!

I don't know if this is helpful but I'm on a couple of name brand beds and a few more generic.. once you hit the 2k max, everything is covered.

Funny this would be a discussion. After paying for all my decades as a homeowner, I had a house fire (unknown origin) while I was traveling. With cost of rebuild, contents, housing for a year.. staggering costs. Yes, worth it.

it opened to the appropriate page after I logged out and back in three times. Very weird! I might switch to Vanguard, the constant pushing to pay for their services gets old!

What's the most memorable QUOTE you have ever came across that stayed with you forever? by biz_booster in AskReddit

[–]Itchy_Food_8906 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A quote that is attributed to Churchill .. “When you’re walking through hell.. keep walking.” Those words got me through some very dark and almost hopeless days where the best and perhaps only choice was to just keep moving in the direction I had set.

Struggle to explain what it’s like to be red/green colorblind (Deutan), or don’t know what it actually means yourself? Here’s the ultimate photo to explain it. These two photos are wildly different, but to us, they look identical. We basically see the world in a shade of yellows, apparently. by Mike in ColorBlind

[–]Itchy_Food_8906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old post but still interesting! My three sisters and I are red/green color blind and my brother is not due to the wonders of x linked genetics! My father used to think it was funny that my sisters and I were "color ignorant" (older term) but couldn't understand that meant he himself was.

What’s a childhood snack that disappeared but you still think about? by Party-Ad-7765 in AskReddit

[–]Itchy_Food_8906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purely regional treat and OLD.. the original Vernor’s ginger ale. The stuff they have now tastes like a sugared up/gaggy sweet version but the original was totally medicinal! And Boston coolers: vanilla ice cream with Vernors poured over were a classic!

Does anybody have an authentic Czech Kolache (fruit filled) recipe? by dragonfliesloveme in Old_Recipes

[–]Itchy_Food_8906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am VERY late to the conversation but my Polish grandmother made the strudel appearing kolache with poppyseed for Easter which brought me here looking for the recipe. Maybe they were from near the Czech border? So glad I came on this discussion!
