wayout

Seems as though I am in the minority. Usually dictated by time of year. Spring/Summer is light PJs or T-shirt and shorts. Autumn/Winter is sweatpants and sweatshirt.

Not sure how long this one will stay up but this worked a few minutes ago... http://youtu.be/JQJWLMkpsDQ https://mtc.cdn.vine.co/r/videos/DE536A93D01112938243529568256_10d0898314f.3.2.mp4?versionId=0ttDXog2sLSf7Vqd9TbwxO12gucNw1ny http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/90467344.html

BY NINA GOLGOWSKI NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Published: Monday, August 11, 2014, 7:03 PM Updated: Monday, August 11, 2014, 7:14 PM FRANK MICELOTTA/FRANK MICELOTTA/INVISION/APActor Robin Williams was found unconscious around 12 p.m. inside his unincorporated residence in Tiburon, according to a report by the Marin County Sheriff’s Office. Actor and comedian Robin Williams has been found dead in his California home in a suspected suicide, according to a sheriff’s press release. The 63-year-old actor was found unconscious around 12 p.m. inside his unincorporated residence in Tiburon, according to a report by the Marin County Sheriff’s Office. “Robin Williams passed away this morning. He has been battling severe depression of late," his publicist said in a statement. "This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.” The 63-year-old actor and comedian famously starred in the 1993 film, Mrs. Doubtfire. An investigation into his cause of death is underway. The coroner suspects that it was a suicide caused by asphyxiation. A forensic examination is scheduled for Tuesday. Williams was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor three times, and took home an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in 1997’s Good Will Hunting.

I like it...as I am very partial to wine and a good cigar, it is especially appealing to me....but of course the most important aspect is that the guys are pretty darn hot. As I seldom log out, I don't usually see the that part of the site. I do think it is good to occasionally change things and freshen things up a bit so kudos to Daddy and his team!

Am I missing something...what does that graphic have to do with the original post? Being confused is my natural state, but at this moment it is exponentially higher

No hurry, and you know I am just yanking your chain I do promise to make it once I get it and will give a detailed full review. To get through the week, I went out and got an awesome strawberry rhubarb pie at a local fruit farm that has its own bakery. Did I mention it was awesome?

If you like me then where is my f@#king lemon pie recipe

No, not in the sense that I am asking anyone to like me It is a TV show that I saw advertised by that title. It is on a cable station that is not carried on my provider. I saw an advert for it and it caught my attention so I was wondering if anyone has seen it, can comment on it and/or can suggest a way to easily (and without paying) to watch it on line (assuming it is worth it). Here is the synopsis of the first two episodes: Written by and starring Australia’s favourite young comedian, Josh Thomas, the uniquely honest comedy/drama series PLEASE LIKE MEkicks off on ABC2 with a double episode. With his 21st birthday just around the corner, life finally seems to be coming together for Josh (Josh Thomas). He's sharing a house with his best (and only) friend, Tom (Tom Ward), his dog, John, and Tom's rabbit, $haniqua, and he’s doing adult things like cooking roast chickens and eating asparagus. But the events of one day throw his world into chaos. He’s dumped by his girlfriend, Claire (Caitlin Stasey), and introduced to a decidedly odd but very attractive man, Geoffrey (Wade Briggs). And when his divorced mum, Rose (Debra Lawrance), overdoses on pain killers, Josh is forced to move back into the family home to keep an eye on her. If that's not enough, he has to deal with his dad Alan’s (David Roberts) guilt over his ex-wife and clumsy attempts to hide his new, younger girlfriend, Mae (Renee Lim). It’s all a bit more than Josh had planned for – which was just to plate up a tasty dinner. All of a sudden it seems as though everyone’s lives are in disarray and Josh is at the centre of it all. For someone with an aversion to confrontation, drama and emotion in general, there are some big challenges ahead for Josh – challenges he can only deal with in his own awkward, self-centred, and always hilariously frank way. Based on the award-winning comedy of Josh Thomas, the six-part series PLEASE LIKE ME is about cavoodles, custard tarts, boyfriends and girlfriends. Mostly, though, it's about growing up quickly and realising that your parents are not heroes, but big dopes with no idea what’s going on – just like you. http://www.abc.net.au/tv/pleaselikeme/

And I want to be the ring bearer....

Love it.....Thanks for that. Btw, to show how dense I can be, I always thought the term was "com" as in command. I learned something new. And for those Star Trek fans, here is an interesting article about its use there http://www.startreknewvoyages.com/?p=3907 “Scotty, you’ve got the conn.” We’ve heard it a zillion times. Kirk is frequently leaving the Bridge of the Enterprise for one reason or another and leaving someone in charge of the Bridge. The Online Etymological Dictionary clarifies that con, conn, and conning when used in this context come from the old word cond, which comes from Middle English conduen (meaning “to conduct’) which comes from old Anglo-French cunduire, which in turn comes from Latin conductus (past participle of conducere), meaning ”to lead or bring together.” The earliest written English use of the word con in this context would seem to be from the year 1626. This concept of “getting something (in this case, a ship) successfully from Point A to Point B” is also still in use in the English word conduit. The differences in spelling (conn versus con) would seem to be simple American English verses British English variant–like tires and tyres. In the end, whatever the actual etymology of the word is, its meaning is clear: “you have control of the ship.” The Naval Shiphandler’s Guide has this to say about the term: “One of the most important principles of ship handling is that there be no ambiguity as to who is controlling the movements of the ship. One person gives orders to the ship’s engine, rudder, lines, and ground tackle. This person is said to have the ‘conn.’ —James Alden Barber, 2005, ‘Introduction,’ p.8, The Naval Shiphandler’s Guide” So, how many times did Captain Kirk actually have someone “take the conn?” It turns out, not quite as many as you might expect. Without getting into those times where “giving the conn” to someone happened throughout the Star Trek movieseries, and without getting into all those times where someone (like Lieutenant Leslie, for example) clearly had the conn without us ever seeing the initial handoff, here are the thirteen (13)–yes, thirteen–a baker’s dozen–times that Kirk gave orders for someone to “take the conn” in The Original Series and The Animated Series: 1. “A Private Little War” (episode 45) “You have he conn, Scotty.” 2. “A Piece of the Action” (episode 49) “Scotty, you have the conn.” 3. “Return to Tomorrow” (episode 51) ”Mister Sulu, you have the conn.” 4. “Elaan of Troyius” (episode 57) “Mister Spock, you have the conn.” 5. “The Tholian Web” (episode 64) “Scotty, you have the conn.” 6. “For the World is Hollow, and I Have Touched the Sky” (episode 65) “Mister Scott, you have the conn.” 7. “Wink of an Eye” (episode 68) “Mister Spock, you have the conn.” 8. “That Which Survives” (episode 69) “Mister Spock, you have the conn.” 9. “The Cloud Minders” (episode 74) “That’s an order, Mister Spock. You have the conn.” 10. “The Way to Eden” (episode 75) “Scotty, you have the conn.” …and then the final three times were in the Animated Series: 11. “One Upon a Planet” (animated epiosde 6) “Mister Arex, you have the conn.” 12. “The Survivor” (animated episode 9) “Take the conn, Mister Spock.” 13. “The Pirates of Orion (animated episode 17) “Mister Sulu, you have he conn.” So, all in all, it wasn’t that many times. With no instances in the first season, three instances in the second season, and the rest in the third season (or later, in the case of the animated episodes), the use of the term “the conn” was actually a fairly late development in Star Trek. For those who are keeping score, here are the final counts: Mister Spock 5 Mister Scott 5 Mister Sulu 2 Mister Arex 1 For the sake of being a completest, there were a few times where someone was asked to simply “take over.” Presumably, this general “take over [command of the Bridge]” order is about the same thing as the “take the conn” order. Those times were: 1. “Tomorrow Is Yesterday (episode 21) “Try and beam that pilot aboard. Take over, Mister Spock.” 2. “The Doomsday Machine (episode 35) “Very well, Mister Spock: the Bridge is yours,” says Commodore Matt Decker. 3. “I, Mudd” (episode 41) “Spock, take over.” 4 “Journey to Babel (episode 44) “Mister Chekov, take over.” 5. “The Tholian Web (episode 64) “Take over, Mister Sulu. I’ll be in the transporter room.” says Mister Scott.

Dr. Pepper is made with prune juice, as everyone in the know really knows It is an urban legend that I grew up with and to this day I enjoy tormenting my nieces, who insist on Dr. Pepper at every family gathering, with that piece of certitude. http://www.snopes.com/business/secret/drpepper.asp Not being a fan of Dr. Pepper myself, I have no issue with the myth

wayout- You do not have to beg (although that can be cute) and I will PM you the recipe if you promise to share the result but not the recipe. One slice to a friend will be enough sharing and you can hog the rest. Just be prepared to slave for hours in the kitchen preparing this. No S&M's need apply. Best regards, RA1 I solemnly promise not to share the recipe.....and slaving in the kitchen to make something lusciously delicious is the journey that makes it all worthwhile for me

There are supposedly efforts in the industry to reduce salts in many prepared foods and while some success has been achieved, it is a slow and moderate decline. Here is a study about a sampling of various packaged and restaurant foods about that: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/sodium-levels-in-packaged-and-restaurant-foods-have-not-fallen-much-study-finds/ What I have noticed is that certain products are offered with "No Salt Added" on the label, mostly tomato based products. Another consideration, and this is no comment on your age Charlie, is that taste perception of the basic tastes diminishes with age: http://chemse.oxfordjournals.org/content/26/7/845.full

Sodium levels in packaged foods and in many restaurant foods is one reason I have cut back so much on both. I use very little salt or none at all when cooking these days so I am now a bit hyper sensitive to salts in foods. I find using alternative spices work fine for my tastes in the dishes I prepare.

I don't like lemon pie....I love, adore, relish, etc superlatives lemon pie. Please consider sharing that recipe as I would definitely make it. You can PM if you prefer to let me know what I have to do to get it The Chocolate-Cola Pound Cake does sound good and I will be looking for the review by AS. There is one review on it on Taste of Home, for what it is worth...."dry, dry, dry, this cake was nothing special". That wouldn't stop me from making it as it is only one review but might consider adjusting the recipe a little to make it moister if I really believed what they were saying.

They did a fantastic job and really enjoyed it. I love "Wicked" and have seen it maybe a half dozen times. Kind of a tradition with my nieces in that we all saw it for the first time together on the London stage and every time it comes to town around the holidays we go to see it. Another way for doing YouTube videos that I find even easier is to go below the video you are watching on the YouTube channel and click on "share". A link in a box appears and you simply copy that (highlight, ctrl-c) and then paste directly into the post (ctrl-v). That is the way I've been doing it anytime I post a YouTube video.
