Anyone have any ideas on where to get rid of a bbq? It's gas, works but needs cleaning - maybe a few parts replaced. It's about 8 years old so time for a new one, plus it's just too big for one person. Anyway I don't think goodwill will take it and I don't think I can just put it in the dumpster. Any ideas?

Find a large parking lot, tie a match to a very long stick, close the bbq lid, turn the gas on...Then, after the gas kinda burns off relatively harmlessly, leave the bbq there and go home.

craigslist. Put it up there for like $30 and you'll probably get someone to take it off your hands, and give you $20 for the privilege.

Don't put it up for free or people will assume it doesn't work, and since it's gas, they'll assume it's dangerous.

Alternatively, go find the "Greek Row" area near your local college, and dump it on a corner with a "free" sign on it*

(*-dumping on other people's property is illegal, so I'm just kidding)

I, typically fairly up on my soft drinks. I love Dublin Dr. Pepper for example but I must cop to ignorance on coke from Mexico. What makes it special?

I think I talked about it recently - but the secret to Mexican Coke is sugar. US Coke has been using high fructose corn syrup since 1985. The difference is surprisingly massive.

Ahhh which by a strange coincidence is the same secret ingredient that makes Dublin Dr. Pepper so good.

Okay, so interesting thing. This is the second open house I've done for this one particular listing agent. In both cases, I wasn't pleased when I first arrived, because I perceived the location as "low traffic" (the more difficult to direct people to, the fewer you get). However, in both cases (assuming no one arrives in the next 1/2 hour), my *one* visitor has been exactly the kind of person I'm sitting here hoping to meet. I'm a happy Morri right now.

I just want to say that having Nickolas home (I worked, he spent the day with Asshat), makes all of the pain and stress worth while. I love my Boy.

Isn't it odd when you go into a store to buy a birthday gift and you end up buying something for yourself and not the other person?

Mousey Girl · 06-02-2007, 05:27 PM

Ok, I feel totally stuffed. I didn't eat for more than 24 hours (and only some string cheese before that). I had promised Nick chicken & rice. So, by the time it was done I felt quite hungry. yummmm!!! And with only 2 of us we can have it again tomorrow.
