Thanks for the kind words, folks. It just struck me that my avatar doesn't have a nose and that it's only got one eye. Spooky!!! And is it one-eyeing a giant breath mint? A urinal cake? An Alka Seltzer tab? |

An Alka Seltzer tab? It is coveting a lovely Roquefort cheese, naturally! Blue cheese forevah! (although certain blue cheeses do smell like urinal cakes). |

View AttachmentI got as many stitches on my nose as the patchwork man, but as of last Wednesday, I am cancer-free! This has been a lousy year for my family as far as surgery goes, lemme tell ya! But as long as we all got through, I can't complain. Glad to hear the surgery went well and you're cancer-free. I imagine your conk is rather sore, so I hope it (and you) feels better soon. |

Looking for a little advice on how to handle a situation where my online identity is in question.
The gist of the situation is that Phil Hendrie, who has an amusing comedy podcast that I've been a fan of for several years now, believes that I'm an internet troll that he's actually suing and has had many serious problems with over the years. This came to my attention initially when I was following him on twitter; he and a few others burned by this guy have a dedicated page exposing this trolls activities. Now, for some unknown reason, Hendrie believed my twitter account to simply be a fake account of this guy and he blocked me. Understand that I was friendly, made no rude comments, since I'm simply a fan of Hendrie's work.
I then attempt to clear the matter by emailing his support staff, but they seemed uninterested or unsure on what I should do. I then message Hendrie directly over Facebook, but he spoke to me as if I was this troll and wasn't buying that I was being on the level. I let the matter rest, since I couldn't see a good way of convincing Hendrie that I'm not this internet troll, and simply go on enjoying the podcast's for the next few months. The final straw was this past Friday when I decided to upgrade my account so I could watch the videocast's and join in on chats when Hendrie schedules them. I went on the chat, was friendly and admiring of his recent shows, etc, etc, and all this gets me is my account deleted. I found out when I attempted to downloaded the most recent podcast as well as the email I got from paypal letting me know that my automatic payment was rejected.
I've thrown my hands up, but it is incredibly frustrating to be accused of being a sociopath and thief (this guy has apparently threatened Hendrie, his family and stolen his intellectual property online) when you're simply an admiring fan.

I still see plenty of auctions, but I've always thought eBay's best value was buying in bulk. I almost never buy a single issue. I want to buy 8 issues or more at a time. I've bought hundred issue lots before at under a dime per issue.
EDIT: Wrong thread. How did that happen? Too many tabs open probably.

I have a vacation booked for May. It's a big deal, because quite pathetically, I've never traveled outside the U.S. I'm going to Denmark. At some point, during the trip, I plan to head across the Oresund Bridge into Sweden. It less than hour from my hotel in Denmark via rail or car to get into Sweden! I'm so jealous ! My heritage is German and Dane, and I'd love to go to both countries. My Mom went and met relatives in both countries. Hopefully I will someday. Looking forward to your posts ! |

I feel for you Trebor. That's horrible. He flipped me out when I first moved to LA and listened to him and thought it was real. LOL Both my brother and son love that show too. |

I was going through a box of old family photos and found a couple of amazing gems, the best of which was this picture of my Dad that I have never seen before. This is circa 1977:  I also found this picture of myself and my brother:  This was at Sea World in Orlando in 1978, at the Superfriends waterski show. That was a thing. |

We sometimes do a recipe for a sauce to go with spicy meatballs where we fry up a lot of garlic (like 4 or 5 cloves) in some olive oil, add a can of chopped tomatoes, some honey and an entire bottle of BBQ sauce and then let it reduce some. I do believe the recipe is called "sticky balls." Sounds tasty, but it really could use a different name. But I may not be the right person to say anything. I make a dish that has rotini pasta, spaghetti sauce, ground pork, cubed roasted pork loin (when I have leftovers of it), & mozzarella cheese shreds, all mixed together and baked in the oven with parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. It never had an official name, but has come to be known as "stuff". |

I've moved from ketchup to BBQ sauce as my go to dipping sauce for french fries. I do that too. I usually go to my favorite bar and get my burgers and fries and I always ask for extra container of their great BBQ Sauce to dip with my fries with it. If they have Honey Mustard sauce, that's really good on fries too. Also mixing BBQ sauce and Ranch goes together well <waiting for Adam's head to explode>. |

Nothing can be worse than all the foods I've seen people dip ranch in. Ugh. Americans and their ranch. And some of the varieties of ranch made ... they're as repulsive as Bwana Beasts powers :-) Sorry, I'm one of the "ranch loving Americans". Also good to dip French fries in. And fried cheese curds. And raw veggies. And sometimes even on a salad. |

From our last discussion on it, they look delicious. As ranch goes, I don't dislike the taste, just how like the ketchup discussion, many people use it like salt; on everything. But I will stand by my statement of some of the B'wana Beast combinations I've seen on the shelves of the grocery store. Ick! Oh DE ... the combinations of things you put together ;-) I really am a victim of a Scanner. |

Velveeta ranch and Grey Poupon ranch are just silly. The food industry just loves fads though, like where everything has had to have bacon in it for the last few years (including the ranch bacon dressing they make). Just plain Hidden Valley ranch is fine with me. |
