huh. Kansas fans, at least in my office, are starting to turn on Coach Self for his bad coaching as the team keeps losing. -- nm - tRuMaNaNaNaNa Jan 24, 05:19 3

Is the new Princess and the Frog ride still going to be a water flume? -- nm - Ender Jan 24, 02:19 3
- Unless the concept has changed and I missed it, they’re just giving the existing ride a new look, not replacing it entirely. - Znufrii, exceeds expectations Jan 24, 05:30 1
  - And they better damn well sell beignets at the refreshment stand right outside the ride. -- nm - Znufrii, exceeds expectations Jan 24, 05:39

- i use it for canned tomatoes pretty regularly. and black beans. so, at least weekly. -- nm - Andie Jan 24, 06:17
- Yes and probably weekly. Just randon can things without pull tabs -- nm - Walt_Disney Jan 24, 06:01
- I use mine weekly - decline Jan 24, 05:45
- Black beans and rotel for nachos, the occasional can of corn and/or green chiles if I’m making white chicken chili. -- nm - Znufrii, exceeds expectations Jan 24, 05:16
- Mostly for canned tomatoes and such. I don't eat a lot of food that's canned. -- nm - Krusty Jan 24, 04:55 1
  - Also, a lot of cans seem to have pull tabs on them now so there's less need for a can opener. -- nm - Krusty Jan 24, 05:20

- we almost never have cans, and here virtually all of them are pull tabs now. -- nm - mafic Jan 23, 22:36 1
  - Exactly. I use canned tomatoes and Progresso soup, both pull tops. Otherwise almost everything is fresh or frozen. -- nm - Meg Jan 23, 22:41
- I use it probably weekly at my parents' place, never at my place. -- nm - Ender Jan 23, 22:35

- Top opener from my camping kit but I use an electric - and really need a new one. -- nm - Meg Jan 23, 21:52 1
  - But I think the only thing I've used it for recently is tuna :/ -- nm - Meg Jan 23, 21:57
- Honestly, I don't know. I THINK I have an electric one. -- nm - Ender Jan 23, 21:45
- Yes and side opener. -- nm - Krusty Jan 23, 21:35 1

    - Exactly. -- nm - Mop Jan 23, 21:03 4
      - No one's asking for it. An extension of an existing line to LGA is something people are fighting for but nothing for JFK. -- nm - Krusty Jan 23, 21:30
      - (also, who goes to JFK unless you are flying international?) -- nm - ty97 Jan 23, 21:05 1
        
        Those people would never ride a train! They're limo people! -- nm - Mop Jan 23, 21:41

    - And the LIRR Atlantic Ave. branch? -- nm - znufrii Jan 23, 21:10 1
      - Brooklyn people already fretting service reductions to feed East Side access -- nm - ty97 Jan 23, 21:11
