    slo's Thursday poll - pre-rinse or no pre-rinse??

    I always pre-rinse the silverware and plates if it's eggs. My dishwasher can never get dried yolks off them. Other than that, I just remove the bits of food that are on them, like bits of salad, carrots, etc. Pots and my good knives don't go in the dishwasher. Those get handwashed.

    FL has a new service dog law

    FYI: http://www.news4jax.com/news/fake-service-dog-legislation-takes-effect/33925678 Starting Wednesday, people using fake service dogs might find it a littler harder to pull off their scam. New legislation gives businesses more flexibility, but the legislation also makes sure people with real...

    If gays can marry, then no one can!

    People are welcome to think what they like. I dislike mushrooms; you may find them delectable. I dislike bluegrass music; you may enjoy it, and dislike the heavy metal I like. I am not religious, and others are, but we can still coexist in peace if they respect my thoughts as much as I...

    4th of july plans ?

    Turns out that I do have plans for the Fourth, now. I have to go grocery shopping. I was going to go on the 3rd, but Winn-Dixie is having a thing on the 4th, so I feel the need to go that day...

    What are some good hotels on the beach at Jacksonville or Fernandina beaches?

    I can't say anything on the hotels, but we've found the actual beaches at Fernandina, Amelia Island and Anastasia Island (St Augustine) to be much nicer than Jax Beach. The water just "feels" cleaner to me, and the sand seems "softer". (Hope that made sense, LOL)

    How do you feel about DisneyQuest closing ?

    Meh. I am not a basketball fan, so the new place doesn't interest me. But the 3 times we went to DQ, the place was jam packed. Couldn't get to any games without a long wait (and I'm seriously over waiting in line to play video games. I did that at the arcade when I was 13, I'm not doing it...

    Thinking about trying out cast iron... I need tips and useful info!

    Here's some recipes to try: http://www.foodnetwork.com/topics/cast-iron.html I love to make my steaks and hamburgers in them. Also, we've used the skillets for cornbread, no knead bread, desserts (drop cake, pineapple upside down cake, pies, monkey bread). I have a big cast iron pot for...

    4th of july plans ?

    Probably not much. DH may have to work during the day, since he had to take off yesterday for a medical procedure and they are behind on a couple of projects; he has Friday off for holiday too, and has to work that day as well. We usually just do a few fireworks outside and watch them on...

    Hood County Clerk Refusing to issue marriage licenses to same gender couples

    It's absolutely ridiculous. I have NEVER understood why anyone would act that way. Someone else learning to read or get married IN NO WAY impacts you learning to read or getting married. My 11 year old (just back from summer camp, so this morning, we discussed the marriage ruling--one of...

    Hood County Clerk Refusing to issue marriage licenses to same gender couples

    In Duval County, FL, when they started issuing same sex marriage licenses, the clerk of the court shut down all weddings. Wasn't the first county in FL to do so, either. http://www.news4jax.com/news/duval-county-clerk-of-court-discontinues-all-wedding-ceremonies/30548568 If your position...

    Oceaneer Club/Lab - why soap, not sanitizer?

    Look at it this way---if the kid has chocolate or snot on his hands, washing will get it off. Sanitizer doesn't get the nasty crud off your hands.

    Best site for custom photo books...

    I like Shutterfly, mainly because I get free ones all the time (only s/h). I've only paid for one book ever, and it was done at less than half price (for DD2's wedding book; it would have been free if I had got the 8x8 book, but I went with the 12x12--I think was the size). I got a code from...

    Do you have a Fry Daddy?

    It gets too hot in here for the oven in the summer. I use my crockpot, electric skillet, and tabletop oven (not toaster oven), outside gas grill and the oil-less propane fryer (good for whole chickens/turkeys. haven't tried anything else in it)

    I am officially...

    My backyard is reverting back to swampland. DS calls it "our redneck pool"...:rotfl2: I really need to mow the lawn. The front yard is looking very very scruffy, and the backyard needs a machete to get through...but walk across the grass and you just sink into the ground. No way I can push...

    As a non coffee drinker what am I missing?

    As a non coffee drinker what am I missing? Coffee... :D Sorry, couldn't resist.. I love my coffee. I try to limit myself to one or two cups a day. Cream and sugar, please, or just creamer if it's the flavored stuff (sweet enough that it doesn't need sugar). Love the Bailey's creamers...

    Here's the link to the K-9 unit answer page from the NY State Police page. It should help answer some of the questions raised here. http://troopers.ny.gov/specialized_services/Canine_Unit/ Huh, learned something new today! I never thought about what it took to train a dog to be a police...
