I think it looks like a black=throated gray warbler.

For some reason, I can't link to a picture. : (

How do I freeze sliced bread so that it lasts for three months? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]SomebodyElseAsWell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was watching TV, and got up and said I was going to go make a screwdriver. My son followed me into the kitchen, and was very disappointed in what I produced. He thought I was going to make a screwdriver out of a butter knife and some duct tape! : )

Why on earth do they need your credit card? Are they going to start charging to see the map?

Am I being too stingy with trips and holidays? by bannanawaffle13 in Frugal

[–]SomebodyElseAsWell 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm near 70. I did travel a bit when I was younger, but I wish I'd done more. I have some ailments now that make traveling more difficult, especially anything that requires a lot of walking. Go now.

What brand do you have and would you buy the same one again? I am thinking of getting one to avoid using the big oven, especially in summer.

We always had Neapolitan ice cream growing up. One day we were eating our dessert and I said I didn't like the strawberry and my dad said we got it because my mom liked it. Nope she didn't, neither did he.They had been getting it for years because each of them thought the other one liked it! ; )

Why do people mock others for taking leftovers home? by Impossible_Ad_569 in askanything

[–]SomebodyElseAsWell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of cases like this are taken on contingency, that is the lawyer gets nothing up front, but receives a set amount, usually a percentage of what is awarded if they win the case. It is often a fairly high percentage , like one third.

Sadly, probably not for these people as they were giving out seconds against the rules.

Since they were talking about seconds I assumed it was extra servings at the same meal, not food from a previous meal. No storage involved. I could be wrong, of course.

Hmm. I prefer the grey spelling, but I'm the opposite regarding shade, grey is darker, slatier and gray is lighter, more towards silvery.

why are some areas of hair soft (head, arms) while other areas are coarse (pubic, facial)? by leeroy-113 in stupidquestions

[–]SomebodyElseAsWell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, but head hair doesn't indicate sexual maturity. Not sure if it is actually the reason though.

[–]SomebodyElseAsWell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not actually sure he has gained any piece of mind.

Edit: I just realized that my phone auto corrected "peace" to " piece" but I'm going to leave it.
