I've been tossing around the idea of getting a new vehicle soon and I'd pretty much decided to go with a smaller sized SUV. The two models I'd been looking at until now were the Chevy Equinox and the Hyundai Tucson. However, I got a look at some of the CR-V's on the Honda lot when I went with my...
So I have these filets from Omaha Steaks that I want to throw on the grill tomorrow. I've always used a marinade when grilling steaks, but these particular filets come wrapped on the outside with bacon. I'm thinking the steak marinade may make the bacon taste funny. Would it be better if I just...
Found a box of Omaha Steaks that I received as a company gift last Christmas buried at the bottom of my freezer. Anybody know how long these things can be kept frozen without going bad? Each bacon-wrapped filet is in its own vacuum sealed wrapper so there shouldn't be any air getting in. I'd...
After having an off year last year, it appears the ants have returned in force this summer. In years past, I used Diazinon to keep them at bay, but it's been banned by the EPA. What would be a good equivalent? I don't know what kind of ants they are--not fire ants but very tiny black ones. For...
Anyone ever read the reviews of "s.t.a." over at Amazon? I realize these reviews are complete b.s., but this guy (or girl) is a hilarious writer: The reviews of Smith T. Aames
Coming in the next two weeks, the job I hate most...painting the house. Well, it's not the painting i really hate, but the prep work (taping, draping, moving furniture, etc) and the cleanup. A couple questions. First, has anyone used those trim pads that they sell for window/baseboard trim and...
Are these things for real? I recently started using one at the health club and it just seems too easy...I'm able to burn calories at the same per minute rate as I would if I was jogging on a treadmill. Since I'm significantly overweight, the jogging causes considerable shock to my feet, ankles...
Just heard a breaking news story that the celebrated author is dead at 67. The story said his son reported his father had shot himself to death. :frowning:
Eagerly waiting on TiVo's new service that will allow users to export programming to their computer. Since I find myself falling behind on programs that have been recorder, the ability to view programs on my rail commute into the office would be a big plus. Anybody heard when it may be coming out?
I used to think that Mira Sorvino was one of the cutest ladies in Hollywood. The other day they showed a clip of her at a movie premier and I couldn't believe it. She looks completely different. Looks perhaps like she's has some plastic surgery done and not for the better.
I'm looking to buy some reprinted historical photographs. They are listed as Giclee prints and they are considerably more pricey than regular photo reprints. Does anyone know what "Giclee" is? Is it some sort of high quality paper or something?
I have a 1999 Chevrolet that recently exhibited a problem with the heating and a/c system. Basically, the fan has four speed settings and for some reason, it only turns on when set to the two highest speeds. If I try setting it to the two lowest levels, the fan doesn't turn on at all. Is there...
I'm making my first foray to Cancun next month and was wondering if anyone could tell me about any must-sees down there. What shouldn't I miss (I'm going to be there seven nights)? What's the best way to get around? Should I worry about drinking water or should I buy bottled? Also of great...
