I got the vaccine at ~56. Doctor said it would only be 60% effective.
I'm healthy, but I've heard shingles really hurts, so I got it and insurance covered it.
I liked it, in a soap opera kind of way.
The clothing, makeup, cars, were cool, too.
It's gluten free, if that's important to you.
I like "regular" pasta better.

Is it because he won't simply vote the way Obama wants him to?

Is it because he stands up to those in Congress he feels are not representing the American people?

Is it because he stays true to the convictions he was elected on?



Have you considered the possibility that you, too, are a jackass? Just something for you to think about...


So instead of answering the question, you insult?


There are about 10 or 15% of the population that dont think Cruz is an asshole. Those people are fanatics, and there is literally nothing I could say to persuade them that Cruz is an asshole, because they are beyond reason. Suffice it to say that all Democrats think he is an asshole. All moderate Republicans think he is an asshole. And many right wing Republicans think he is an asshole. It is not my job to convince you that a latter-day opportunistic wannabe McCarthy like Cruz is an asshole. It is incumbent on you, as a citizen, to work that out for yourself.

Hilarious, and true!

I also love Movarian Cookies, Im starting to see those in more gourmet specialty shops.
And I am always excited to see Cheerwine on the shelf at Harris Teeter.
Oh and Biscuitville (which is based in VA but all over NC).


NC Native here... I attended Governor's School one summer and fell in love with W-S. Oh, those were the days. We ate a LOT of Moravian cookies. (I also have a Moravian star that we use in our Christmas decorations... no one in our neighborhood has one and we've gotten lots of compliments.)

But you misspelled Krispy Kreme. I'm going to assume that's an auto correct fail.



How in the world are there so many people from or familiar with W-S on this thread? I (another one hailing from 'the dash') am amazed.

Don't forget Texas Pete also makes green mountain gringo, which I think is pretty tasty for a mainstream jarred salsa.

And not just Moravian cookies...add on Moravian sugarcake and love feast buns.



It should be against the law to use Texas on any product that isn't made in Texas!! lol

BTW, all of those around the DC beltway, just because a sandwich has bbq sauce on it and has it as a Texas something or other, doesn't mean anyone in Texas actually makes a sandwich like that.

Off topic I know.
Moved to Fort Worth from North Carolina and had an appreciation for Eastern NC bbq, especially with cole slaw.
Went into a BBQ place and asked for a BBQ sandwich with slaw on it. Texas BBQ is beef and the lady thought I was nuts, but gave me my sandwich like I asked.
Came back a few days later, ordered the same thing, she remembered me, and said, " I tried that the way you said, and it's good!"

Goodness, did I ever screw this up!
I didn't like "Girl on the Train" much.
Loved "All The Light You Cannot See"!

I don't lock my shed(nothing in it worth stealing) and I have a spare house key on a nail on one of the hidden supports.
Has been used many, many times.

And you know this how?

2) pick out a couple of small towns on your way, say Ladysmith, VA and New Kent, VA or where ever you want to stop.
3) Go to playspace finder and find playgrounds. They tend to be elementary school playgrounds, but if school is not in session you should
be fine: http://mapofplay.kaboom.org/
Type in the city/ies and figure out how to get there. I have never seen a playground at a rest stop. These playgrounds at elementary schools
of course do not have rest rooms, so if you want playgrounds and rest rooms you have to find a fast food restaurant or gas station near the
playground.

This is a great idea.
Also, at Exit 45 south of Petersburg, there's a Howard Johnson motel that has a huge playground. We used to plan a stop there for gas, picnic lunch, and play.
Of course you don't really belong there, but if you are clean and not rowdy, you probably won't be bothered.
M-Th shouldn't be bad.
I-95 is quite unpredictable, though.
+1 to this, too.
I've owned a couple Weber kettles and they came with a recipe book.
Follow the recipe times for cooking steak and it comes out perfect.
And charcoal is way better than gas.
When faced with a situation like this, ask yourself "What is the harder thing to do"?
Whatever is the hardest to do, is the right thing to do.

I have had ~5 things like this come up in my life, chose the harder thing, and realized it was the right thing.
Go.

I'm worried that I won't be good at keeping a schedule- which as most people with half a brain know- is really helpful in raising well adjusted kids. Most kids thrive of stability and routine. Your bro's being a jackass. He doesn't want to be inconvenienced by the new dynamic. Though shit. Kid comes first.
You really need to stand up here are tell him to stfu.
God, I want to do it for you.


I am guessing you don't have kids already. But if you have a kid who needs a schedule, you will find that the consequences for not sticking to the schedule will motivate you to be very good at keeping a schedule




Hi! I'm expecting! Yeah, hoping the little nugget will straighten me out.

Great advice right there!
Not baking, but try a can of it substituted for water when making rice. Great flavor!
