I like this time at night on HBT

[Varmintman]

Man that sucks. I have to say I am kind of happy with my DMV. They have 3 people working there and I have never seen a line there. Laid back group of people who really want to help you work through things.

I have a question for all of you tech savvy folks. I am thinking I am going to cancel the dish for tv. 100 bucks a month for a few good stations and tons of crap just seems like a waste to me. Is there a internet option for tv that resembles channels of tv? Meaning if I like tv shows of a nature genre can I go somewhere and turn it on and watch nature shows.

Sad thing is I pretty much just like the background bit more than anything. I find it hard to sleep with out it

Not exactly a direct answer, but I see that people cancel Dish then add a ROKU box and stream to there tv. There are lots of channels on ROKU.

I miss the satellite DMVs in Hawaii, they were a lot like you mention. I don't think I've ever been to the DMV here where there weren't 40-50 people waiting. Appointments do help. I've got to admit the folks that work there are usually helpful and very polite especially given the large volume of people they deal with each day. Trying to get hold of them on the phone is a lesson in patience.

We have AppleTV which I think is similar with what LRB mentioned. Not sure if they have any nature channels but then again I've never checked. I'll try to remember to look tonight when I get home.

We cancelled our U-Verse and are getting a Roku.

Dan,
I had the same issue with my license when I needed a replacement and it ended up coming shortly after. The waiting period is the maximum time from what the DMV lady told me. It literally came 2 days after I went in and told then how stupid it was.

When I moved to Idaho and went to the DMV, I thought I was in the wrong place. No lines and the people working there were nice. So strange.

Sorry Dan... My eldest son is brilliant, like genius level. When he was 8 he developed a spring made out of paper that compressed without any lateral growth(it did a little, but it was bizarre that he even thought that he needed to design something like that). Dinner time conversation involves discussing what it would be like to be a red blood cell, whether I would rather live in a safe but restricted world vs a free yet chaotic world, and how small business can compete with Walmart and still make a profit. He just turned 12 a couple weeks ago. He makes me proud as hell, and gets perfect grades without trying. In his words, he works "just exactly hard enough to make sure he gets an A". Yeah, he's kinda lazy. He has trouble focusing on the more mundane things in life, and I have to constantly keep on his ass to keep disciplined. I'm trying to train him now to just do those little things and get them out of the way, and it's a constant struggle. This is him wearing some fake eye glasses.

I don't care either cause I actually don't much care for ice cream. How much cholesterol?

20mg per 1/2 cup serving.

Erm, I work for Dish. I'm not allowed to answer this...:cross:

Now that is funny LG

Cholesterol intake from food has very little bearing on cholesterol levels in your body.

 

[Varmintman]

Well I think I ought to bottle tonight since I will not have a chance to for a bit. Trying to get as much ice as I can to keep my beer cold up there which in a way is kind of silly since it snowed up there the other day. Oh well I am still going and taking a ton of ice

I remember once when I was young (1920's) I came home slightly stoned, went to bed, and put the radio and my headphones on, and heard the following song. It blew my mind. Now, it's not so epic, but still a treat on headphones.

For your late nite soundtrack, Billy Thorpe..

Ok. Besides fiber binding to the digestive salts providing some place for the cholesterol to go, what are the major determining factors?

I know it came out fairly low fat, but that's because I find the greasy texture in high fat ice creams to be disgusting.

It is interesting to note that it set up like a fudge bar, not like ice cream. It didn't freeze hard. Probably, the corn starch bound up a lot of the water. That, and the fairly large amount of sugar, probably dropped the freezing point of the remaining liquid a great deal. It's good, and I'll remember this for making fudge bars, but that wasn't what I was going for. No overrun in it at all.

Next time I'll omit the corn starch completely and see what that does.

Wow, hadn't heard that since 1985 I couldn't believe how much of the lyrics had stayed with me.

That's an interesting version of the song. I rather liked it.

Ha, who doesn't love a little Dick Cheese once in a while?

Not my first girlfriend, but my first girlfriend who's name I can still remember, always joked about having an industrial lounge act.

Ilike the Dean Martin song better than the Sinatra

 

[SharonaZamboni]

My brony son-in-law to be really likes the crooner music, and is pretty good. I hope he finds an outlet for that type of music, and persues it.

I like them both equally.

I'm also a huge crooner fan. Crooner music always reminds me of bugs bunny and looneytunes cartoons. I always enjoyed the ones that did parodies of the great crooner hits when I was a child.

Oh My. Seems they are not too happy with Hasbro.

I've been meaning to ask, has that situation remain stable? It seemed inherently explosive to me.

Feel free to ignore me if you would rather not discuss it.

Seems to be still in the works. The other wife visited a couple weeks ago, and I think there was some disagreement about table centerpieces. Other wife wanted live fish in bowls, but really, who the heck wants to take home a fish from a wedding?
