    There are no stud finders that do any better when you have plaster and lath. It's a serious pain in the ass, but you seem to have landed on the best method possible.

    That's fantastic! Let's hope this is a trend and your little dude is entirely ready for this, and your concern is for naught.

    Yeah. The fact that they used pork hot dogs is what made that bad.

    2019-2020 NHL Season Thread: Uber Missed the Blues Victory Parade Edition

    Canada just beat Russia for the junior world cup in spectacular fashion. Down 3-1 going in to the third, Canada scores three unanswered goals and wins. Huge win for the program.

    We only have one pizza hut, and it's ghetto as all get out. I have never been able to convince myself to eat there.

    I knew, but my kids wanted it so I let them get it. I suffered the consequences of my benevolence.

    Nothing, unless you order pizza and a casserole shows up instead.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    We have been on and off with cleaners. Don't have them right now. Kids have to clean their own bathrooms, so toilets aren't an issue. We have Roombas that cover all the vacuuming except for weird stuff, which we keep on top of. We're all super tidy, with the exception of my middle child, whose...

    I guess Gino's is just so popular because of location. But anything that make Chicago pizza less like Chicago pizza and more like real pizza would make it better.

    Refunded item still shipped?

    I have had this very thing happen. I contacted Amazon once to say it was here, and if they sent me a return label I'd ship it back. I didn't hear back from them, so I kept the item. Same thing happened to me this year with the nhl channel. They somehow put my subscription from last year, which...

    A couple things from tonight - Montreal has now lost their last five. Granted, tonight it was in overtime, so they get a point, but they're already in 13th in the East. They are a hurting unit right now. What needs to happen? Secondly, after watching Hutchinson play tonight, why would anyone...

    That discussion was had. I have, in one of my past lives, made hot dogs. I have a very hard time eating them. I may give it a try, though. I've heard others say the same thing. I saved that. We might try it, though the general feelings of the family towards Chicago style was not positive. It...

    We were in Chicago today and the family really wanted Chicago pizza. We went to Giordano's, which is supposed to be some of the best Chicago style pizza. I hate that crap. It's a casserole, it isn't pizza.

    Did the Explorer have the ten speed automatic transmission? I'm anxious to see what that's like.

    Call the city/county bylaws office and see what you can do. Often times if it is an eyesore, badly constructed, and leaning in to your yard you are legally able to do anything you want to it after giving something like a couple weeks notice to your neighbour to give her the chance to fix it.

    Yeah, buzz the head. It will make this go away so much quicker. Of course, he might not have it. It has happened many times that someone in one of my kids classes had lice and we didn't get it. My youngest ended up getting it at summer camp.

    I was just coming to post that. It's crazy that he's not only fined, but if he steps out of line again in the next year he gets a bigger fine. Pretty strong punitive measures for saying the refs messed up. I think the league is way out of line.
