groiny, I tried out your buffalo chicken crock-pot recipe yesterday. - JaxSean Jul 6, 08:03 4
- I really liked it when I added the hot pepper rings to the recipe. -- nm - groiny Jul 6, 08:04 3
  - Interesting. Just dump a jar into the broth/onion liquid? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 6, 08:05 2
    - yeah, drain most of the liquid out first. (of the peppers) -- nm - groiny Jul 6, 08:05 1
      - Nice. It was easy, which was the best part. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 6, 08:06

- Wow. When I was with Empire BCBS, my waits for very short to non-existent. - ty97 Jul 6, 08:02
- Kaiser is the devil -- nm - Epiphany Jul 6, 08:01 1

4 forms of ID to get a driver's license renewal is excessive. -- nm - Qale Jul 6, 07:54 4
- Why do you hate America? -- nm - Spawn Jul 6, 08:03
- What cracks me up is when you need 2-4 types of ID when you already have a DL from another state. - ty97 Jul 6, 08:01 2
  - Yeah, but it's Illinois. It's 2-4 types of ID or $50, whatever you got on you. -- nm - spamlet Jul 6, 08:02 1
    - Nah, I'm not related to any government officials so that does not apply. -- nm - ty97 Jul 6, 08:03

  - *perks up* -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 08:02
- That looks more like Kim Bassinger -- nm - oblique Jul 6, 07:58
- I was thinking, with all the TomKat stuff, the Kardashians must be PISSED at losing air time. I wonder what useless shenangins they will try. - loosilu Jul 6, 07:53 1

you don't care, but we're supposed to have drinking laundry/fun crafts with meat night tonight and it's turned into a call with pfm's HMO. - amanda Jul 6, 07:41 5
- *tsk, tsk* -- nm - Epiphany Jul 6, 07:49
- that's just wrong. -- nm - Andie Jul 6, 07:42 3
  - I don't even know if we're having meat crafts. I said we should postpone, but karen was adamant. -- nm - amanda Jul 6, 07:43 2
    - And here I thought 'meat' was a typo for 'meet' -- nm - Qale Jul 6, 07:49
    - pft. can you have medical supply craft night? -- nm - Andie Jul 6, 07:46
My wife just confessed that she doesn't like mixing peanut butter and jam on toast. Separately, fine - together, no way. - Beryllium Jul 6, 07:38 30
- My wife doesn't like toasted sandwiches. I'm pretty sure she's a witch. Who doesn't like the sandwich warmed up? It's 10x better almost always. - JaxSean Jul 6, 07:59
- I don't like PB on bread in general. I'm not a big PB fan all around except in cookies -- nm - oblique Jul 6, 07:50 1
  - have I linked us to these yet? -- (link) - amanda Jul 6, 07:54
- stirring them together, or layering them? -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 07:39 25
  - Layering. Pb&j toast. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 6, 07:40 24
    - Why would you put PB on toast? That's just strange. -- nm - sycor Jul 6, 07:40 23
      - ok so apparently I'm the weirdo. I've never heard of this. Jam or Jelly, yes. But never PB. But then again I'm not big on toast to begin with -- nm - sycor Jul 6, 07:51 5
        
        You're a witch as well? BURN HIM. - JaxSean Jul 6, 08:00
        
        toast is BREAD. you put PB on bread. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 07:52 3
        
        my brain seperates it. Toast is toast. Bread is bread. I dunno how to explain it. -- nm - sycor Jul 6, 07:59 2
        
        I'm the same way. It's changed somehow in the toaster. -- nm - spamlet Jul 6, 08:01 1
        
        I agree, but that doesn't stop me from treating it the same way. - Beryllium Jul 6, 08:04
      - We've found the alien invader, people! -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 07:48

      - I'm a rebel and put peanut butter on pancakes -- nm - Epiphany Jul 6, 07:43 12
        
        My youngest makes PB&J Waffles. - JaxSean Jul 6, 08:01
        
        Been putting PB on pancakes and waffles since I was a kid. SUPER yummy! -- nm - miffed67 Jul 6, 07:50 1
        
        yeah, I am a big fan of PB on blueberry eggo waffles. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 6, 07:55
        
        I make peanut butter and chocolate pancakes. They taste like Reese's. -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 07:49
        
        me too. PB and syrup. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 07:47 1
        
        with a big ole glass of milk! -- nm - Epiphany Jul 6, 07:50
        
        I've done that ... And I've just had a great idea: PB&Bananas on pancakes, rolled up into tubes. - Beryllium Jul 6, 07:44 1
        
        add bacon. -- nm - amanda Jul 6, 07:48
        
        patryk tries to get me to eat pb on waffles -- like, in the squares, kind of? no way. -- nm - amanda Jul 6, 07:44 3
        
        oh, you need to. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 6, 07:56 2
        
        I might like pb&honey on waffles. -- nm - amanda Jul 6, 07:59 1
        
        I can't wait to make you breakfast. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 6, 08:00
      - *blink* peanut butter on toast is... the best (i also won't mix jam and pb.) -- nm - Andie Jul 6, 07:41
- she's correct. -- nm - amanda Jul 6, 07:39

Tennis -- five seconds to show a fan-friendly replay system....baseball.....no desire to work it at all -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 6, 07:28 9
- To be fair, I believe the tennis system is actually computer/electronic based and not a replay. It also doesn't involve judgment. So nobody else can - pmb Jul 6, 07:57
- the NFL will now show what the refs see during replay timeouts on the big screens at stadiums so fans can watch too -- nm - Beaker Jul 6, 07:32 3
  - I'd always thought they had. -- nm - nubby Jul 6, 07:34 2
    - On TV, not usually in the stadiums. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 6, 07:35 1
      - Really? I've only been to one game and don't remember, but usually when they're showing them on TV, you can hear a loud reaction from the fans - nubby Jul 6, 07:47
- [deleted]
- It's maddening. -- nm - Other David Jul 6, 07:29 2
  - 4 -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 6, 07:31 1
    - Efff, stupid number key -- What amazes me is these guys are hitting 100mph+ and still can tell a fraction of an inch on these calls. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 6, 07:31
On the phone with insurance company: 82 minutes and counting - prayformojo Jul 6, 07:23 2

- *shrug* Add a SIM card to a Kindle Fire and you've got a phone. It's not a complex process. -- nm - Mop Jul 6, 07:37 8
  - You want a 7" phone? - spamlet Jul 6, 07:50 7
    - someone I know has a phone that's *really* a tablet. it's about 1.75x as large as my phone. how do you talk on that? - amanda Jul 6, 07:55 6
      - I would switch from my iPhone to Android in a hot minute if they made a decent phone in the 3.7"-4" range. - spamlet Jul 6, 08:01 3
        
        Bigger is better. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 6, 08:04
        
        I'm evaluating the Samsung Stratosphere on Verizon right now as we prepare for RIM's demise. It's 4" so it's on the big side of your range - oblique Jul 6, 08:03 1
        
        Is it "global ready" - spamlet Jul 6, 08:04
      - speaking of, *this* is why DL sucks tonight: because people refuse to pick up a phone; they just want to work everything out via text. - amanda Jul 6, 07:58
      - [deleted]
- I'd think it would be more to compete with Google than iPhone, at this point. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 6, 07:25
Ray Allen posts pic of him with Heat brass (pic) -- (link) - budice Jul 6, 07:17 7

- [deleted] 10
  - Take him! That is way too expensive and I have seen his lack of consistency for years. - Bacon Jul 6, 07:17 5
    - based on the article it relates to how he has been used by the coaches -- nm - Beaker Jul 6, 07:33 1
      - Hmmm, a guy that wants to get paid more blaming the coaches for his bad play. Sounds about right. - Bacon Jul 6, 07:52

Dear Excel - oblique Jul 6, 06:38 4
- If you open a new "window" of Excel from the start menu and then open the document from the new window, it will work. - spamlet Jul 6, 06:40 3
  - thank you - oblique Jul 6, 06:41 2
    - It is dumb, but it's the best I've found. -- nm - spamlet Jul 6, 06:44 1
      - Oh, and if you use Windows Explorer to open the next document it's sort of random which "window" it will open it in. -- nm - spamlet Jul 6, 06:45
