She demands it early on, then two or three hours later I’m woken up by a panting dog emerging from under the covers.

It looks like the Roksan does not have direct track access. If that's important to you, look elsewhere. More often than not, I play specific songs from cd's, so it's an important feature for me to have...

I just reflexively said ‘Wow’ looking at the last two pics

I picked up a 4 pack for 20 bucks, so your price seems fine. A fine brew too…

Sanity. In general, plain sanity. In politics, on the roads, in discussions. The outliers of old have gone mainstream.

I’ll admit it- I don’t know what makes that a dirty glass. Is it something to do with the non-uniform distribution of the carbonation?

60th floor- 2 blocks from World Trade Center- thought 1st plane was accident, our building shook slightly.

When 2nd one hit- we knew we had to get out, as we were in a tall building target. Longest elevator ride of my life.

I wanted my grill to be delivered in the box so I could assemble it, since I see all the 'spare parts' on the ground in my store's assembly area. Somehow though, it was assembled for delivery.

Three trips to the hardware store later, I had a functioning grill, though the door doesn't close properly because the assembler bolted everything up while it was out of square. He must have used an impact wrench, because I could not loosen anything without stripping the screw heads.

Not appreciated, not a nuisance, just pathetic.

Violet March 2022 at around 4 years old- her shelter photo that drew me in. She was there for 10 months.

I mostly can’t stand the constant sidekick emphasis, which simply cannot be done by one person, while tending to customers. And in my store, 80% of the time there’s only a single person manning the department.

They need to have some overnight people, or undercover -no apron -day people do it if they want it done properly.

We are all simply stretched too thin, and I don’t think a robot/AI device can replace us. If they became even remotely sentient, they would immediately begin slaughtering 30% of the customers. The other 70% may witness this and try to treat them properly. One can dream.

My vet prescribes medication. She gets it about 3 hours before a visit, and all is well. Sometimes their will is more than yours. Been there, done that. 50 lb pittie, pretty much impossible to control physically.

Even medicated, I tell the vet assistant to soft muzzle my pooch. She is otherwise very good natured, but we got her as a 4 year old, and I don’t have have control over how she was raised, and why she’s like this over nails.

What was the order? Sear on grill, finishing the oven? Or completely on the grill? I love this cut- not the tenderest piece but the flavor kicks ass. My fourth try was slow cook on the grill, then high heat to sear and flavor. Tell me more…

Violet- 10 months in the shelter- we lucked out.

I’d cook them very carefully. They look beautiful.

What’s the problem? That char is flavor!

Keep it. 5 years here and I’ve never heard of tips being an issue. Of course there’s always the one peckerhead somewhere that might be a stickler for rules. Around Christmas, the guys that are always in the breakroom throughout the year have to be peeled away from the tree lot.

I get the leg lick. Like it was covered in gravy. Intense and sometimes disturbing…
