    I once bought a magic frying pan that was supposed to give me bacon in September... I think it was broken, because all I got was spider webs in it.

    pepperoni lil spicy kick :P

    ...off my pizza menu these days as the combination of the greasiness and spiciness is always a sure ticket to bad indigestion. I can have (good quality) pepperoni on a sanny, as long as it is not heated.

     

    might try hawaiian pizza next

    copy image address gives thumbnail address

    I guess you have to post, then click on the thumbnail to get the big version, right-click on that to get the address, then close it, edit your post, and add the image.  It's a lot of work for something that the old forum used to do for you automatically!  One step forward, two (or more) steps back.

    $40 for a travelling coffee mug? surprise  It better come back after it goes travelling. 

    That seems like a lot for a coffee mug but at least it's not $2000 for a #%$#&#$ purse or pair of shoes. indecision

    @ kyoto kid : Re "mayo" based dips.

    The days when name brand means better quality are long gone. The next time you are in a grocery store look at the ingredient list on the lowets priced dips. You might be surprised.

    I think Richard H and a few others might remember my post here several years ago when I discovered the following:

    Highest priced (Kraft) was vegetable oil.

    Mid priced (Plains) was vagetable oil and sour cream.

    Lowest priced (Shur Fine) was sour cream.

    You may find the same to be true where you are.

     

    ...nah even the local low cost and store brands where I live use either Mayo, egg yolks, or hydrolysed Canola (basically margarine - yuk!).

    Sour creme is the best 

    Unfortunately don't have Shur Fine up here. May have to just figure out how to make my own instead.

    Another fave I can't seem to find is that vinegar based coleslaw I used to love when growing up in Wisconsin. All the slaws here are made with mayo as well.

    Ack, feel I live in the wrong location as I also cannot eat salmon which is "the" fish of the Northwest.

    ...however, the shipping charges are more than the cost of the item unless the total purchase is over a certain amount (I've run into this before). Don't need to buy anything else.

    Going to check the local second hand geek shop tomorrow, see if I they got any switches in yet.  Last few times all they had were routers.

    Remember when you could just go to a Radio Shack and buy parts to fix stuff or build your own death ray, instead of having to climb over piles of R/C cars and cell phone crap only to find the guy who insists on helping you doesn't even know what a resistor is... 

    Granted you can buy it all and more on the Internet... It's just that having a brick and mortar store like that said we still cared about fixing and building stuff, not being served up shiny disposable newness on a garish conveyor belt of pretentious demand... 

    Yeah, I remember Radio Shack.  Meh, an OK place for garden variety pieces, but I remember back when I was in college (I lived up the road from Fred & Wilma Flintstone) and there was a local electronics shop that had a whole warehouse of teeny-tiny parts in a back room behind the counter.  You just went in and talked to the guy behind the counter and he went back and found what you needed.  He was always busy.  Fast forward 50 years and I was back in my college town a couple years ago and that same guy is still in the same store and he's still there and still gets the parts you tell him but he's not busy at all anymore.  The racks of pre-packaged parts in the front of the store (a la Radio Shack) are the same parts he had 50 years ago in the same but now yellowed and disintegrating plastic bags.  Back in the old days he had some high quality HiFi gear on shelves in his (then) modern fancy listening room, i.e. Marantz, Fischer, AR, etc.  Speakers, tape recorders, amps, receivers, etc. but he didn't sell much of that, his bread and butter was teeny-tiny parts sold at the counter plus TV & CB & ham radio antennas & equipment.  When I checked out his store recently I noticed that his listening room still had the same equipment still sitting on the shelves in a disheveled disorganized room and a little dustier but still sounding good!  When he passes on, someone's going to inherit or buy in auction a gold mine in antique stereo equipment!

    One thing that was nice and still is, is that if you needed a cable repaired or were building a special cable, you'd buy the end plugs or pins & shells and the cable and if it was a crimp connection he had all the special crimp tools and would put the plugs or pins on for you no charge.  Find a Radio Shack that will do that!

    Back in the 80s there were great little places like that all over the "Canal street area" in lower Manhattan... There was one that was a mad scientist's buffet... They had brand new stuff, really old stuff from liquidated stock, salvaged stock and manufactures surplus... One of my favorite things were these "half built" things that would show up... Clocks, stereos, meters, transmitters, radios... Boxes of all manner of devices that seemed as though the production order was canceled in the middle of assembly... Those were the best because they were really cheap and in many cases, could be modified into something else. But there were all sorts of "surplus" and "liquidator" type stores there... The best were camera, plastics, military and tools... You could build practically anything if you knew where to go... It was like Mos Eisley within walking distance of Chinatown.  Those places are all long gone now, they disappeared in the late 90s -early 00s.  Even the last vestige of those days, Pearl Paints finally closed a year or two ago... It was five (or six?) floors of artist's paradise... If it existed, you could find it there... The top floor was for sculpting and industrial model making supplies as well as mold making and casting supplies and materials... If it were not for that place I would never have learned how to make silicon molds, or use RTV casting material... And probably never would have become an industrial model maker.  I really bummed me out to hear they closed.   As a kid, me and my friends would trek the ten or so miles over to canal street to get supplies to make whatever it was we created... Art, machinery, computers... Crazy inventions or silly junk... But just going into these places fueled your imagination... "What the hell is that?... I could so make something out of this!... Dude... An instrument cluster and joystick from an A4... We could make the coolest video game controller out of this!! "...    Granted nowadays, you can track all that down on the Internet, you can buy anything you need to make whatever you want to build or create... But having it physically in front of you, to see it, smell it, touch it... Stupid thumbnails and click to zoom images don't even come remotely close to that experience... You could be a young Tony Stark, Doc Brown or Leonardo (not the turtle) with only your imagination to limit you.   I guess what really bothers me the most is not the loss of those stores, but what inevitably comes in there place... Just another sneaker store, overpriced jeans and sweatshirt shop or cell phone joint... I could walk into one of those in Seattle, Miami or Boston... Probably even London or Munich and it would be the same stuff, same store, same old crap... It's sad really.

    God, I'm depressing... Oh well, enough of that.

    ...the other nice thing about those old brick & mortar shops was you could pay cash instead of giving them your card number.

    When I lived in the Orlando area during the early '80s there was a store up in Winter Park (immediately north of Orlando city line) that sold all sorts of surplus electronics goodies.  Everything from radar antennae to obsolete missle guidance computer stuff, jet & helicopter pilot helmets, old oscilloscopes, along with the usual resistors, capacitors, diodes, tubes, etc.  What was cool about the shop was that it had a 3D flying saucer as part of its exterior advertisment.  I forgot whether it was on the sign or on the roof of the building but it was a good sized metal looking flying saucer.  Cool!
