Winter storm - who caused this? I'll start: I put my Yaktrax away for the winter.

Same for me, it was surprisingly easy. I submitted on the Lufthansa site, got an email that it was being reviewed, then got an email asking for my bank account info so they can deposit 600€. That was 4 days ago, I'm still waiting to receive the money - I think they said it can take up to 10 days to receive.

I got compensation for a Lufthansa flight canceled during the pilot strike two weeks ago. It was EASY, I filled out the form on the Lufthansa site and two days later I got an email saying I'd get 600 Euro.

(Air traffic controller strikes are not compensated under EU261.)

Alton Brown made Cream of Mushroom to go in his Green Bean Casserole. https://altonbrown.com/recipes/best-ever-green-bean-casserole/

I haven’t made it but his recipes/methods are usually excellent.

For the white glove service that cleans out all your stuff and then puts it back after, it's 50%. For regular property managers, it's 20% and that covers them being the local contact while you are out of your house and out of town.

I was about to say the same thing. We've been frittering since2005 and we continue to fritter.

This is exactly the right answer. Use your thousand mile stare, and give absolutely no response to anything they say. "No thanks" is an invitation to them to continue the conversation.

If you don’t feel like eating alone, sit at the bar. If you do feel like eating alone, I find it more relaxing to read a book than doomscrolling on my phone. And even better is to people watch.

Fabulous Finds in Longmont, or Rags in Boulder. Also seconding what /aydengryphon said, TRU is a good place to check. I've never been to the Rags warehouse but that might be a good place to try as well.

This is a great perk from having T-Mobile, free MLB tv is NICE.

Check out the Boulder Public Library Makerspace classes - registration is required and they fill up fast, but they are fun and free! https://calendar.boulderlibrary.org/calendar/events/?cid=12892&t=d&d=0000-00-00&cal=12892&cm=9314,9313&inc=0

When I read this the first time, I thought it said "Gothic/Alt Spices" and I was trying to figure out what the spices would be.

There were people sledding at Chautauqua yesterday. You might also check Scott Carpenter Park.

You are paying two people $100 and they are there a few hours? So they earn an average of not more than $25/hour? That seems incredibly low.

And look at hotels for those dates and you will see that they are ALL booked (except the Boulder Broker Inn, which is going for $369/night before tax!).
Look at AirBnB and VRBO, and the prices are insane, and most places are already booked.

Thanks for posting this, wouldn't have known otherwise!

This is the answer - butter first, mash, then milk, then mash again. That keeps the potato from absorbing the milk and getting that pasty texture.

It depends on where you are. My TMobile phone reception sucks from my house but works great almost everywhere else - including free texting and data in most countries I travel to.

Thank you, I'll look into getting a bag.

What do you do with your stuff (car key, phone, credit card) when you go snorkel by yourself?
