Have you tried Bulleit Rye?

It’s cheap ($35) but quite good. I always bring a bottle to family gatherings because my SIL makes a mean Manhattan and that’s her preferred brand.

Wow! Your search engine is fast. Nice layout, simple, clean. I really like it!

So we can use your magic?

Yes, you’ll definitely need a good quality ladder and:

– Set of screwdrivers. My Stanleys are over 20 years old

– Separate flathead for kitchen use only (instead of using your forks to open stuff)

– Fire extinguisher (leave one in kitchen)

– All-purpose or silicone caulk and caulk gun. (In case of emergency and if your house is old).

– Scissors

– First Aid Kit (you can make your own, I did)

– Multi-tool or Utility knife (I love my SOG)

– Flashlight (combination of battery-powered, rechargeable, heck even a tealight will do). Ideally, some form of light for each room in the house if you lose power (nothing expensive).

– Shovel and Salt before it snows (If you have pets, get the [blue] pet-friendly salt). Always buy it before it snows. Keep it in the house the night before it snows so you can dig yourself out.

– If your windows are old, read up on removable window film, magnetic window film (3M makes them also)

– 409 (they clean almost everything)

– phone number of a good electrician and plumber (my GC is awesome but she’s stateside only)

– Plunger. Don’t buy the orangey-plastic snake - they don’t work.

– I have DeWalt (and a bunch of batteries) but prefer my Makita. Black & Decker is a toy, don’t do it. Milwaukee sucks. If you’re not using power tools now, don’t buy them or wait until they go on sale.

– Surge protectors (the higher/more joules, the better). You definitely need those.

– WD-40

Canada has some very good quality wind turbines (for home use, not the gigantic ones) that you might want to consider; I hear your solar panels are pretty good, too.

Buy what you can afford; check out thrift shops, yard sales, flea markets for some tools.

Most of all, know your limitations. My house is old and I knew what I could do myself, what I would be willing to do and the rest I need for someone else to do.

Every year you’ll have more questions and we will be here for you… with answers you may or may not like.

Good luck and Enjoy!

“It’s gonna be okay?”

“It’s gonna be okay.”

“It’s gonna be okay!”

“Of course it will be okay, I’m the one who’s going to fix it!”

Eharmony? Somebody posted the same similar question a week or so ago. I read that it was a paid service and you can be as specific about your dating preferences as you want.

I would check it out but… SO is sitting next to me so….

I mean personally I rarely downvote.

I agree with @HubertManne, however I’m a bit heavy handed with the Block button and surprised my instance admin hasn’t said anything. It’s kinda long.

Better comments and posts as the kids are busy going back-to-school?

Yesssssssss, @Nemo. My thoughts exactly.

Prison guard. You can’t leave work during your shift, you’re in prison.

Prostitution. My apologies if this subject is taboo. However, it is the oldest profession in the world and stood the test of time. I have a vivid imagination and I’m having trouble imagining what would happen if I’m just not attracted or aroused.

Ugh. I’ve been using Ente photos since I de-googled and gave myself until the end of summer to decide if I want to upgrade my subscription. All week I’ve been trying to figure out if how to migrate to Ente auth. Grrrr!

Thanks, OP!

Ditto on Wiki’s Current Events Portal and RSS (which you curate yourself). That’s my current setup, I’ve tried others but keep going back to Wiki and RSS. Good luck!

Lobster, scallops and squid need to be cooked just right otherwise they tend to be rubbery.

👍🏼 Great tip, thanks!

No.7 👍🏼

In case you’re feeling patriotic, they’re based in the UK. It won’t break the bank. I don’t know your skincare preference but I prefer the No7 Future Renew™ Damage Reversal Night Cream and the No7 Derm Solutions Daily Lightweight Moisturizer during the day. Most of the gentlemen I know prefer the lightweight moisturizer.

Maybe you can get a sample and try it out first to see how you like it.

Aveda is also very good and a little pricier. If it matters to you, they are owned by Estée Lauder (along with Clinique, MAC, Origins, etc.). Good Luck!

Sorry folks, not a big fan of Dinuguan. Everyone I know loves it. Not a fan of Sisig (sorry @Dis32) and bitter melon.

I do love Kuhol with and without the gátâ (coconut milk). My grandmother used to make it and that’s how I fell in love with those ugly snails. Yum. Frogs legs are delicious!

D@mn! Now, I’m hungry and I miss my grandma.

Oh my g…… you just took me back to my childhood! I miss balut! My kids loved it until they grew up and figured out what it was. 🐣

Oh… I’m so sorry. That should be illegal.

Ahhhhh… the good ol’ days! Best years of my life! Welcome to adulthood and….

Wow! Thank you, @Sergio!

You are hilarious! Glad you have a sense of humor. Not that it’s a contest but I got you beat… I have 4 dots! Lol

If there’s anything better now than 30 years ago it’s science, technology and medicine combined to make better treatments for cancer and other diseases. The 6-month checkup is good news (from my experience), then it will be yearly. Good luck!
