This is the place to talk about things that are not gps related, you can discuss whatever you would like, as long as it is clean. Remember we have families that have their children involved in the GPS fun and we don't want to make parents feel uncomfortable when their children ask what that word means.
Have fun...
This thread will be closed on Monday and a new one will be opened.

I hate Mondays
Especially after a time change. I was really enjoying getting to work after it was light. Now my entire commute was in the dark this morning.
Oh and did I mention that I hate Mondays?
I plan to live forever. So far, so good.
Monday, Yuck...
It's Monday, So who/what is a star?
So a star could be a general maintainer of the site. Like an admin or moderator with special privileges. At least it makes sense to me having such a large number of members.
Nothing like nursing a bad cold on a monday

My wife doesn't burn anything since I do the cooking. But it works out ok for us, I like to cook and she doesn't mind cleaning up (which I hate)

Thai curry....
I have discovered that I can make Thai curry in my Crockpot;) So we have been having curry once a week.
My friends call me the Crockpot Queen. Last night I made Zuppa Tuscana soup like they have at Olive Garden, it was so yummy.
Miss POI
Crockpotting...
Next Monday, are you going to do Corned Beef & cabbage in the crock? I might.

Corned beef
Next Monday, are you going to do Corned Beef & cabbage in the crock? I might.
Keith, all you do is dial the local Jewish deli and order a corned beef on club, rye or whole wheat if you prefer and a Guinness to wash it down. Or if you like, you can substitute a Dr. Browns root beer!
On St. Paddy's Day even I'm IRISH!

I'd have to take my Nuvi on a day trip to find a Jewish deli
But we do have a few places locally that make a fairly decent Reuben...

Do I smell a POI Factory Cookbook in the air?
We may get people coming here looking for recipes for the Hawaiian dish if we're not careful with all this cooking talk

Gas
In the aftermath of the snowstorm here in ohio, we were rewarded with $3.30 gas prices and $3.99 diesel prices per gallon.I didn't know snow could make gas more valuable?.lol
It's that time of year
The supply of gas is a little tight as refineries switch from producing winter blends to summer blends, so the price goes up...should come back down a bit again as long as crude prices remain stable, or drop and get back under a Franklin/barrel.

I always check gasbuddy.com. That is the national site. I have the locals as wichitagasprices.com and kansasgasprices.com.
After you watch a while you can "almost" predict when it is going to go up, like every couple days

.
Here in the oil state of Texas (remember the Houston Oilers?) diesel is $3.80. Diesel is a byproduct of gasoline and needs less refining, so the higher price is a mystery. My Super Duty drinks $125 worth per fill-up. But we all are diesel buyers since it is used in producing and transporting food and other goods. Watch for inflation in almost everything. Well, maybe not GPS's (I hope) since they are easy to transport and are still evolving technology.

I Spoke To Soon..
Late last week I was mentioning to a group of friends at lunch that I had upgraded my outdoor spot lights to the newer fluorescent spots to both conserve energy and (most of all) so that I did not have to replace the bulbs every 6 months. The newer bulbs supposedly have 5 year lifespan. Yesterday, I noted that one of these bulbs had already gone out after only 3 months. I removed the bulb from the 2 bulb fixture and after about 60 seconds the second bulb also went out. It lasted only about 1 month. Now I'm thinking my plan wasn't so great after all... Wondering if anyone else might have had the same bad luck...

Casserole
You're a step ahead of wife. I love her to death, but she can burn water.
So she knows how to burn water, anybody can do that! How does she do with a casserole?
Mike
Casserole in our house is a weeks worth of Cracker Barrel left overs in one pot. It's bad when the wait staff there knows us on a first name basis.

No it is bad when they know
No it is bad when they know your drink order and food order. We got to a chinese place quite often for lunch at work and the lady always says,..
"Coke, no ice for you", "Spring veggies with shrimp and white sauce, not brown"
All I have to say is, "yes"

The idea of a POI Factory Cookbook could catch on and I wouldn't mind that Zuppa Toscana recipe myself.
Yeah that is one of my
Yeah that is one of my favorite soups, but sorta labor intensive...
1) cook meat, grind it down (cutting it)
2) wash kale
3) cut potatoes thin
Ok ok, not alot, but that is a lot of cutting.

Charley,
That sounds like the lady at the Queen Bee in Arlington when I used to go for lunch there. They do remember, don't they.

I like Ramiele, too
I really like that Brook, didn't at first, but do now. She and ramiele are my favorite girls (ramiele is just so cute)
But David archuleta is my favorite above all.
I thought the judges were pretty harsh on Ramiele.
Even if the song performance wasn't so outstanding, her appearance and personality were! Just because the song wasn't "boisterous" didn't make it boring to me.
Maybe I'm partial to Filipinas, too, as I'm married to one.
