Re: It's 104℉ Right Now
I've come to the conclusion that kidney stones are not the result of what you drink, but the result of how often you drink it. Lots of liquids flushes the kidneys and takes with it any stones that might be building up. Some nurses suggested a diet including cranberry juice would eliminate any stone ...

Re: Joke of the Day
I don't do as much printing as I used to when I was writing code. However, going by the number of reams of paper I have used, my All In One HP printer has put out at least a couple thousand pages of printing over the years. I'm not as demanding as you are, plus I use the HP brand inks. The printing ...

Re: Egyptian Concrete
I guess the explanation in the article makes a lot of sense, but it STILL was a lot of work getting the materials to above ground points on the pyramid. They say 20 years to build it was a very short period of time, but I'm guessing they had thousands of slave laborers working 24/7. I'm not sure wha...

Egyptian Concrete
That's how the pyramids were built, apparently. All those millions of tons of blocks were poured into place and not dragged over from a nearby quarry. There may still be a lot of unanswered questions about these masterpieces of architect, but at least now they think they know how they were built. ht...

Re: Joke of the Day
When HP went into the office equipment market, PC's in particular, they created an entirely new branch of the company. There were new managers, new engineers, and new factories to build these new inventions. These new folks obviously did not follow the same conventions as did the old timers, and the...

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now
When I was prescribed Nexium it was pretty much state of the art. That was more than twenty years ago. Hopefully by now they came up with something better and that you would benefit from it. As long as you have the opinion of an expert, I think your plan for using up the old medicine is a good one. ...

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now
There is an entire science called cybernetics which deals with how computers do indeed extend certain human capabilities. Computers are pretty much modeled on how the human brain works and in that sense you are absolutely correct about them being an extension of your self. Smartphones are targeted a...

Re: Joke of the Day
You are right about HP in that they made their claim to fame selling commercial equipment way before they got into the home computing market. I've not had much trouble with their hardware, but their software stinks like an Iowa pig farm. I knew a gal that worked at Best Buy. They loved their HP rep ...

Re: Joke of the Day
You have a way of bringing up memories I long forgot that I was keeping in storage. I've been to the Chicago Yacht Club as a guest of one of its members. Say what you want about Hewlett Packard, but they had some extraordinary sales reps taking care of their Motorola account. One of our reps was wit...

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now
If I recall correctly the Silver Yogi side panels are held in place by a couple thumb screws. No tools would be required to open it up and I have no doubt Deb would be happy to assist in that small task. It certainly would be a grand idea to blow some fresh air past all those dust covered parts, but...

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now
When my daughters were old enough to be interested in cooking they talked mom into writing down some of her best recipes. Mom was a great cook but terrible at documenting what she did to be that way. A typical recipe would be, Flour, milk, butter, salt, nuts. Mix well. Bake for 20 minutes. That was ...

Re: Joke of the Day
I think those Jay's Potato Chip canisters are now collector's items. They are as rare as hair on a frog. LOL I can appreciate you not wanting to drive into the big city of St Louis for a good dinner, regardless of how good it was. We lived about twenty-five miles west of downtown Chicago and had the...

Re: Joke of the Day
I don't buy many potato chips of any sort, but when I did the best were from Jays. Jays were made in Chicago so that they were sold just about everywhere. Down here it's Billy Goat kettle cooked chips and they are in fact excellent. The frying process isn't the same as Jays which makes Billy Goat a ...

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now
Momma Russo sounds like my kind of gal. At least she was fair about the price of her products. I know the problem of not being able to reproduce a recipe made by somebody else even if the instructions are very explicit. There are a whole lot of other factors that go into cooking other than the quant...

Re: 46,000 year old worm
You are the second person I heard of lately that was prescribed Omeprazole. The other person lives in Europe. I don't think I ever knew exactly why Nexium was considered better, but the differences could not be too great. In my case they both were effective. Don't know what it is about Walgreens but...

Re: 46,000 year old worm
Omeprazole is Prilosec when sold OTC. I am hoping that helps you because that is the equivalent to the Nexium I am currently using. I was prescribed Nexium (Esomeprazole) which came along after Prilosec already captured the market. The thinking at the time was that Nexium was similar but better in s...

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now
That old trick of not covering a pizza to its outer edge has been around forever. In most cases it's pretty obvious what they are doing and why, but my all time greatest pizza place ever was a exception. Sparga's Pizza was THE place to get your pizza fix back when I was living in the city as a kid. ...

Re: Joke of the Day
That Lutheran Church pancake supper sounds awesome. The only equivalent I can think of are breakfast pancake affairs generally sponsored by some church. There are a couple of such affairs each year here in O'Fallon but I've never been to one to see what it's like. The few I went to up north were goo...

Re: Joke of the Day
Pringles are popular but not the kind of food I prefer. They are made from some kind of potato paste, which in the final analysis has a real potato base. But it's not the same as slicing up the actual tuber. Who knows what they put into Pringles aside from the potatoes!? Mom's old fashioned mashed p...
