"must meet at the mall..."

Pretty easy to spot the guy in the windowless white van in a mall parking lot. I think he's onto something.

San Antonio, TX, Us

at the mall, really? Is he on his lunch break, or what?

Of course I used TOO much punctuation, hehehe...it was a copy paste and I didn't feel the need to go into it and mis-correct it. Ha

Not sure where else to put this, but 3 days into being an iPhone 5 user and the one thought that overpowers all others is "Wow it's nice to finally have all the features back that I used to have on my 5 year old 1st gen Droid"...

Seriously Apple, WTF took so long?

WTF happened to the Kooler? We may have an answer! The below is copy/pasted from a FB friend's sharing:

Am I the only person who hasn't heard of "cooler corn"?
As an obsessive food nerd, you'd expect that I would have at least heard of it, but over the weekend I was blind-sided by the simple genius of this method for cooking loads of corn on the cob perfectly.
I was hepped to it while visiting my family. Short story: We like corn on the cob. And with eight adults at the table, that means a couple of dozen ears. We would have used the lobster pot to cook them all, but the lobster pot was busy steaming lobster. "Let's do cooler corn!" Before I can ask "what the hell is cooler corn?" a Coleman cooler appears from the garage, is wiped clean, then filled with the shucked ears. Next, two kettles-full of boiling water are poured over the corn and the top closed.
Then nothing. When we sat down to dinner 30 minutes later and opened it, the corn was perfectly cooked. My mind was blown. And I'm told that the corn will remain at the perfect level of doneness for a couple of hours.
Turns out, Cooler Corn is pretty well known among the outdoorsy set But for those of us who avoid tents as much as possible, it's perfect for large barbecues and way less of mess than grilling. In fact, I may even buy another cooler just so I'm ready for next summer. Now that I'm in the know.

It reminded me a little of a college (Brock) I went to... they have these t-shirts with childish-style font on it, with the capitalized letters being bold and brightly colored to spell B R O C K through it.

Barry is my dog and he Runs really fast because he is Only little but he also barks really loud so it's oK

Yes I know I'm missing the C. I can't for the life of me remember exactly how it went.

Yeppers. Piling on will draw the penalty flag.

It went from a creative writing powwow to an direct criticism of the op so it was deleted.

WTF? Where is the 2/5th's cooler thread? What happened?

Have the creeps responsible for the bombing come forward to claim their dastardly deed? I heard one witness say they saw a cop carrying a little boy off the scene that was maybe around 3 years old. WTF doesn't even touch the feeling this invokes! There's a special place in Hell for people that do such terrible things!

Kind I hear ya on the laundry, raising 4 kids I did 2 loads every single day. I do admit to "checking " clothes and removing them from the laundry pile...especially after they'd "clean" their room (anything left out was dirty) . I know dang well they wore that shirt for 45 after their bath and before bed....CLEAN. I simply folded it up and added to their clean clothes pile. Teens are the worse, if my daughter tired something on and decided not to wear it is was of course DIRTY. I'm a bad bad mommy I'm sure lol

I think my kids discovered how to reuse glasses and not change clothes frequently every day when they were given the responsibility for taking care of their own stuff. They complained for a while but found out how annoying it was to clean up after themselves all the time after they were old enough to do so.

For some reason I detest drinking out of a plastic cup, I use the disposeable cups fro parties etc, But My wife stopped buy the reusable plastic cups because I would just take them out to my shop and find other uses for thiem.
we have a dishwasher , and I usually do the dishes anyway....
When Our kids were young I understood it, no reason now.

I even use glass when we have parties, It's too easy to wash them in a bar sink, ( we also have glass washer for after wards).

Hmm, plates and bowls got washed after use. If you don't do that while camping or picnicking, you'll get yellow jackets; and once you get them, you're stuck with them.

Meanwhile, sticking with a single cup, even if it's not washed with soap and hot water, you don't get anyone's germs but your own -- a definite plus.

With these plastic dishes, and with the plastic Easter eggs, there was always a bright pink set. Nobody would get this color assigned to them, since I couldn't stand to look at it.

At Easter time, kids would look for their own color of eggs. Younger kids got brighter colors, and there was no competition this way. Except that the violent pink eggs were available to all, and they had crappy things in them -- lump of coal, last year's candy, or best of all, a mutilated Peep.

Although I love that idea, you and I both know that anyone who does that now risks some idiot reporting it to social services if your kid tells anyone they ate off a dirty plate because you wouldn't wash it, and you and I both know social services would not see things your way.

My parents did the same thing with us and plastic cups when we were kids. The teeth marks all around the edges made washing them interesting. You'd think we were hamsters or something the way we chewed on them.

I had 5 kids, and I got a set of plastic dishes in 6 distinct colors, and these were their dishes, period.
If they wanted a clean cup, they kept it rinsed.
This custom started on a camping trip, but it worked so well we retained it.

Fair Oaks, TX, Us

Tried that. So far to no avail. {sigh} kids

Kibs,

To cut down on that buy each of them a special cup, require they use it and only it. It will force them to rinse the cup when they re done if they want another drink lol Get them something fun they will want to drink from. Drink, rinse repeat!

That's why I got into just buying big packs of solo cups for casual drinks around the house. I do probably 1/2 the amount of dishwasher loads I did before now.

Fair Oaks, TX, Us

yes, but twenty-SEVEN cups in 48 hrs?!?!
