Ghost town imo.
Yeah, but you would expect that for a new board. It takes time to gather members. But the thing about that board is it's about as vanilla as it can get. It's like they're making it boring on purpose. And it's awkward. I looked at it four weeks ago, and I looked at it yesterday. It looks exactly the same, i.e. plain, dull, lifeless, no imagination. Also, why would one try to create a Redskins board from scratch when there are already plenty of good ones, particularly this one?
 
So yesterday I looked at the weather forecast - the forecast low for last night. The low was forecast to be 45, but they lowered it to 44. That's the low that's coming. That means I can't put last night's left over cook out on the screened porch, it'll be too warm. But then before I go to bed, I look at the temp, and it's 35. How can that be? This morning, I wake up and it's 34 outside. But weather doc com insists it's 45. But it's not! How on earth can they be that far off??? /rant
 
45 on the porch would have been fine. Hell I leave a pot of spaghetti or chili on the stove overnight and heat some for dinner the following day and we've never gotten sick. I've had food poisoning, it was more painful than my ruptured appendix so I'm not reckless. But people are too damned cautious.
 
UGA has one of the best atmospheric science programs in the country. Our local weather people are the best, really.

But I used to think that meteorologists have the perfect job: you can constantly be wrong and still stay employed. :rolleyes:
 
It's time I step up and defend meteorologists. I keep track and they are pretty damned right 95% of the time, like a long snapper people only remember when they screw up. And given how weather is so unpredictable I think they do an amazing job.

No one there was a creator of the original. It is simply a love child of those who have an understandable desire to recapture something that was important in their lives but lack the skills. Even the return of a couple of some well thought of ‘managers’ was ballyhooed as a seminal moment, but…they were only managers, not skilled creators.

I said, "I used to think"...

I agree people are too damned cautious. Like my wife for instance. If I question something, I will give it a sniff and trust my nose. But I would not deliberately keep meat out in the danger zone for more than a few hours. The danger zone is 40 to 140.

I was going to post the danger zone, but didn't wanna sound like a "know it all". (The window is 4 hours here in GA, so all 4s.)

My wife routine throws out everything in our fridge and cabinets if it hits an ‘expiration date’. I cannot break her of it.
 
As I said I have kept chili, spaghetti as well as pot roast on the counter until the following evening's dinner, I ain't a scared of no danger zone.

I also reheat a pizza I have picked up by throwing it box and all in a 250 degree oven. My timer used to be the time it took to smoke a cigarette, now I play Frisbee with the dog. I live on the edge baby!
 
If you ever want to test just how genetically hard-wired our perceptions of beauty and attraction are, have the object of your desire shave their eyebrows completely off.

My girl is Latina. She does not shave her eyebrows but she definitely paints them. And she puts on the extensions on the eyelashes. And she does the full body wax thing. Also the hair and the nails. Thank God I make good money otherwise I would have to drive an Uber at night! LOL! 🤣

We have a house in the Philippines, I have a large amount of canned foods in my storage there because sometimes you can't find a certain item so I stockpiled cans, my wifes family threw it all out a couple years ago because they saw that the date was expired.

I tried to explain to her that canned items are good long past the expiration date but she still wants to tell me that they did the right thing.

It's called "keeping your ends done". That's funny, hubby used to say I spent more time in salons than at home! Me being in the restaurant biz, my hair, face and nails had to be perfect. (He paid all of the bills, I took care of everything else.)
Sorry, total quote snafu. It's early, and I'm happy because I got really super good news about the sale of my house yesterday.

Yeah. I don't like it when my wife throws my stuff out. Why can't she talk to me first? Is that too much to ask??? A house in the PI huh? Pretty cool. I've done leave there. San Miguel is damn delicious. A lot of retired Navy move to the PI. You can live like a king on a few dollars.

Thanks for the knowledge.
Maybe we should start a support group?
We should. I've got canned stuff that I bought in the initial covid rush for groceries, and I ain't worried. Used a can of mushroom soup that was at least 2 years out of date and I was fine...but I've been in the food/bev biz for 40 years.
 
I think they used to use formaldehyde as a preservative in San Miguel (or at least they did when I was there). It gave you a wicked hangover but it always made me feel good knowing my body was never going to decompose.
