Fired up my gas grill and about 5 minutes into cooking the steak, the propane ran out. Arrgh!
I love to cook outside - all year long. The propane tank always feels empty and I have no idea how to know when it is about to run out. I wish there was a way to know how much was left in the tank.
I suppose if it was critical to keep propane on hand I would just buy a second tank. I might just do that this weekend.
Although I work in a tech company and have a lot of geek friends, I really don’t understand how the cable company can provide all these thousands of shows and movies “on demand.” I recently discovered this feature - thanks to finding the remote control after all these months. It is getting so that you cannot operate anything electronics without the remote controls.
I used the “on demand” to watch an old movie and it was totally great to sit down at 20 minutes past the hour to watch a movie instead of having to sit at the top of the hour and be held captive or miss critical parts. When I had to get up to tend to something in the kitchen, I paused the on demand movie and it waited for me to return and sit down all comfy again before resuming. Plus, if you didn’t hear what someone said, you can rewind it and hear it as many times as you need to.If you have dogs that bark at inappropriate times you will really appreciate that feature.
This on demand is very cool and part of my cable package. What a great feature!
Lately there have been people walking through my neighborhood trying to sell things, door to door. This is a disturbing new trend and I wish they would stop. I don’t like opening my door to strangers and I don’t like the idea of strangers coming onto my property when I’m not home.
My dogs bark loudly enough to keep most people away from the door, but most of the people in my neighborhood are not receptive to door to door solicitors. In fact, my neighbor calls the police and reports them as trespassing every time one of them comes to her door.
This door to door type of selling may have worked in the 1950’s and 1960’s, but in today’s world we don’t want people we don’t know coming to our houses. I am suspicious of them all and I don’t blame my neighbor for calling the police, either.
Well, it’s official that Jon and Kate are splitting up. No surprise, but what a shame. They have a ton of money and freebies and they still can’t make it work. The kids aren’t cute little babies and toddlers any more - they actually need parenting and Jon can’t seem to man up and be a father and a husband to this litter of kids and his overwhelmed wife.
As far as I am concerned, they should stop the show right now and stop paying them any money. No one wants to watch a divorce and those poor children should not be subjected to a TV crew following them around as their nuclear family dissolves into hateful and spiteful antics by their parents.
What I don’t understand is how they managed to keep a straight face and appear to be earnest just a few months ago when they renewed their vows in Hawaii. Then, they file papers in Pennsylvania swearing that they have lived seperate and apart for two years. To me, even though it is legal mumbo jumbo, the laws and words are there for a reason. Either they committed fraud by renewing their vows on TV or they perjured themselves filing false statements for the divorce case.
Surely, I’m not the only one who sees this problem.
One of the nicest things about immediate access to the internet from computers and mobile devices is that you can get directions to where you need to go or you can find the name of a store or type of business all within instants. You no longer have to keep a big fat yellow pages directory on the shelf that is out of date as soon as you get it. You just go to an online directory and within seconds you get what you need with lots of current and new information not found in the printed book directories.
I have used a variety of online directories and was happy to find out that one source has put information from all the different ones into one place: www.local.com. This site lets you search for businesses as well as classified listings based on your area. They also have reader reviews, which I like to hear from people with first hand experience.
