I think they did a test. A lot of dollar bills people carry in their pockets test positive for cocaine. 😏 Forget where I read that...

Because artificial sweetners are sweeter. Splenda is only 600 times sweeter I believe. Probably why it tastes the closest to regular sugar without so much of an aftertaste. IMO.

Isn't that what traffic cameras are for? Just mail your money in. "The Massachusetts Influence?"

You will NOT go down on that ship! 😏

It's gonna be pretty tough to beat:

IT'S why Bills never won a SB... God knew that the fans would be the absolute worse. Just imagine winning 4 in a row. He's teaching us a hard lesson in humility. It ain't gonna work! 😉

No. More like obnoxious and unbearable Steelers fans.

That's because you border on Quebec. Blame the French. Vermont is really New York... Just NYS is too lazy to take it back. I trust @BringBackFergy is mustering up the Washington County Militia in Whitehall. When he gets time, you guys are toast. Enough of that Frenchy influence! 😏

Only one answer: 1980.

Yeah... Where are the maps! @BringBackFergy @SlimShady'sSpaceForce

Not sure if it's the place, but it fits. It's a very good write up from 911 2016 on the 15th Anniversary. Fits today on the 20th... Just as it would on 9/12/2001: https://www.pressherald.com/2016/09/10/reflections-fifteen-years-after-911-we-must-turn-the-other-cheek/ "Fifteen years ago, we all remember where we were on a beautiful September morning when planes became weapons of terrorism and mass destruction. I was on route to a session with my spiritual director and our time was spent holding each other, weeping silently, as we watched the unthinkable unfold on the screen of her TV. Shocked and disbelieving, our prayers were limited to the words, “Oh, God! No!” It was a prayer echoed by many in that moment as the reality of what we were witnessing hit home. ..." "...Two thousand years ago, Jesus spoke to a people living fearfully under the brutality of Roman oppression. Many wanted to fight back, to match violence with violence. In response, he uttered some of his most troubling and difficult teachings. He told his followers to love their enemies and to turn the other cheek when struck. That last one has always rankled me as it has been misused to quell any form of resistance to injustice and abuse..." Yeah... That 'bout sums it up folks. Short, sweet, prudent and to the point!

Exactly. Which is getting a bit ridiculous. Most good places won't taint the oil with other food and will wait till oil heats back up... Why it takes so long at the gr8 places when they are busy. People getting a bit OCD... Like the vegetarians/vegans complaining that their Impossible Whopper is made next to my regular Whopper on the same grill. When will the madness end!

In Cheektowaga that's called: "The Polish Patio." They now make screens that go up with the garage door and you simply pull them down into "Polish Patio Mode." 😊

Please don't slam breaded wings! I just gotta say... The breaded wings at Ponderosa back in the day (are they still around?)!!! 😆 Now that I made everyone shudder, back to you're regularly scheduled program of everyone being special. 😉 I just wanna thank you for NOT being a good socialist! 😉😜... Honestly, I agree. If it raises the cost of business, then they should pass it on to the customers that need a special menu. Why should everyone absorb the price.

I think it's the oil? Like OP said. Do they really cook other stuff in wing fryer? Of course they do!

I also come in peace, BUT as a smart-ass. I will also be following this thread. 😉 😏

Pure spin. And no STD... 😏

Better think twice about "extreme grooming." https://www.menshealth.com/health/a19533592/manscaping-and-sexually-transmitted-diseases/ "...Researchers surveyed nearly 14,000 men and women about how much ***** hair they trimmed or removed, and how often they did the task. Those who groomed were 80 percent more likely to have had a sexually transmitted infection like genital herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, as well public lice, than those who didn’t tidy up below the belt. ..."

"GEEEE Yogi, Ranger Fergy won't be happy. OH Boo Boo, you worry too much! Ranger Fergy is 2,500 miles to the east!" Complaints about marauding bears: https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/bear-warning-south-lake-tahoe-residents-caldor-fire/#app

Just like a bunch of Ambulance Chasers: As Tahoe residents fled the Caldor Fire, the bears moved in — and pigged out https://www.sfchronicle.com/tahoe/amp/As-Tahoe-residents-fled-the-Caldor-Fire-the-16438925.php “Bears are just having a heyday of it. It’s just a nightmare,” said John Tillman, owner of South Tahoe Refuse. “There’s so much garbage on the street because of the bears. Oh my God, they are making a mess.” What say ye: @BringBackFergy

Nice advice! I assume you noticed the freezer still cold? Same thing will happen when the defrosting heating element will go bad in freezer. The freezer will be cold and refrigerator warm. The freezer coil ices up and eventually blocks where the cold air goes into refrigerator side. Pull the back panel (in a side-by-side model) and see if the coil and duct is blocked. Test the defroster to see if it's bad... If so replace. Or... If you can't get one right away, manually defrost it like in the old days. Bit, Amazon is great getting stuff to you in a day or so! 😉

Criminy! Road-tripping music!

@Royale with Cheesemay I also suggest:

TIL: The "Answering Machine" "Most 20th century answering machines used magnetic recording, which Valdemar Poulsen invented in 1898. The creation of the first practical automatic answering device for telephones, however, is in dispute. Starting in 1930, Clarence Hickman worked for Bell Laboratories, where he developed methods for magnetic recording and worked on the recognition of speech patterns and electromechanical switching systems. In 1934, he developed a tape-based answering machine which phone company AT&T, as the owner of Bell Laboratories, kept under wraps for years for fear that an answering machine would result in fewer telephone calls. Many claim the answering machine was invented by William Muller in 1935, but it may already have been created in 1931 by William Schergens whose device used phonographic cylinders. Ludwig Blattner promoted a telephone answering machine in 1929 based on his Blattnerphone magnetic recording technology. In 1935 inventor Benjamin Thornton developed a machine to record voice messages from the caller. The device reportedly also was able to keep track of the time the recordings were made. Although many sources maintain that he invented it in 1935, Thornton had actually filed a patent in 1930 (Number 1831331) for this machine, which utilized a phonographic record as the recording medium. ..."
