Made some creamy orzo soup tonight. Lots of tomato taste. I make mine with crushed tomatoes and uncooked orzo added to cook in the soup.

CFL proving yet again it’s a bush league.

I vote for this as their fight song if they choose Eagles.

One of the few things in life that has actually gotten easier to do. Vehicle registration. Not even any date stickers anymore. Still a costly endeavour but at least it is go in, pay and out in a few minutes now.

In Alberta the DMV and the way its handled is the best in Canada. In other provinces they have one DMV/Registry Office for cities of 200,000 people. Getting your car registered or your licence renewed is an all day experience.

I think you can do it online now too?

I don't know which companies you go through. AMA does it all for me in one building in Red Deer. Considering being laid up due to illness, I need to get a new driver's license, get the truck registered and insured. Plus, I need to get a new birth certificate and health card.

I haven’t gone in person in years. Set up online thru AMA, they automatically renew each year, sticker and registration came in the mail. Any changes, easy to make online before renewal.

That is what I thought. I usually go into the place near my house and I saw that they offer the auto renewal now as well.

Do many people even do their auto (or house) insurance in person anymore? My brokerage does most by phone/email. Never even have to step out of the house.

I was hoping there would be a similar result to typing 9009 in your calculator then flipping it upside down

I like strawberry milk, i like banana flavoured milk. At a truck stop in the states tonight, I saw a bottle of nesquick milk with strawberry and banana flavours combined in the milk and thought this is interesting...........it's a trap.........it tasted like the tooth whitener the dentist uses to clean your teeth, and my stomach is not handling it well

My older roommate bought one of those big plastic jars of jalapeno cheesy snacks. It wasn't the slight amount of heat after eating a couple that turned me off. It was the taste of particle board that did. Could still taste it a couple of hours later.

You'd think that there'd be tasters going over the milk and cheese snacks, but it seems like the producers just whip together something from a chemical process, stick it right away in a container, and sell it.

So.......I'm stopped at a flying j in Wisconsin today. It's -18 out, bright beautiful sunny day, wind is calm. I park to go inside to grab some lunch. Walking back to my truck, about 6 stalls away from my truck, another driver climbs out of his and just yells at me in a southern accent "hoooooo shit! I'm from Alabama and GOD DAMN it's colder than an eskimo's butthole out here!"

Did you correct him and tell him it’s now to be stated as colder than an Elkhound’s butthole?
