My regrets, Sharon.

Philly is gonna burn tonight.

Congrats Eagles!

As a Pennsylvanian, I am quite happy. Grew up a fan, but I don't watch football anymore. Except for the occasional game, such as Eagles winning their first Super Bowl! Cool!

Great game and well played Eagles. Nelson Agholor is a Trojan.

And there are 3 Gators on the team as well.

Congrats to all the Eagles fans and all the disgruntled Patriots haters! You may not like them but you have to admit the SB is always exciting when the Pats are in it! Bummed that they lost but the good news is that with all those missed field goals and muffed point afters, my seemingly crappy squares ended up being winners! $250 cha ching!

It was a fun game. I was pretty sure the Eagles would lose steam and when the Patriots went ahead, figured that was it. So it was rewarding to watch them power through. Congrats to Eagles fans!

Worst thing about it was the Halftime Show.

Agree. JT was terrible and I’m usually a fan of his music. Just boring and too jumbled. I thought Pink was a bit subdued but than heard on the radio this morning that she has the flu.

I didn't know who won until I read this thread. Way to go Eagles!
A bit over 4 hours today.
Buffer still ain't fixed.
May have a camera at the Post Office.
Gonna check that and then the box at the front of the neighborhood and then home.

Wife has flu. Daughter has a cold. I am swamped in work and getting over a cold.

Guess how many of my daughter’s 5 classes had a sub today? Can you say Super Bowl flu?

Weak sauce. You haven’t lived until you’ve had a colleague smell you to see if you still are exuding last night’s booze.

(Okay...so in 7 years, this was only me once.)

I didn't even know they still made Folgers. Or maybe it left and came back, many things do. Who would've thought bell bottoms would come back.

Folgers has always been around and going pretty strong. Same as Maxwell House.

I personally don't like those brands because there is as much chaff as filler in the can as there is grounds. The roast is also way too light for me. My tastes have changed a lot and I just don't find it appealing anymore.

But hey, if that's what gets someone's motor running in the morning, and I don't like it, that just means there's more for them!

@limr my routine when using Folgers, is to start the coffee, then steal a cup before it has time to get diluted.

Finally completed a project I've been wanting to do for awhile now. When we built our house we used can lights with incandescent flood lights in many of the rooms. LEDs weren't that big yet. Some of them don't get used that often, but our kitchen lights get used a lot. The life span on the bulbs isn't great, they've steadily jacked the price up, they create heat, and the color temperature sucks. After being gone for a month, three blew the minute we flipped the switch in the kitchen. So a quick trip to Lowes, found LED conversions, for the cans, for the same price as it was going to cost for the old incandescent bulbs. No brainer. We now have new LED's in the kitchen. The difference they make is amazing. No heat, and nice white light instead of that sickly yellow we had.

Gary has a tons of citrus ... tons ... limes, oranges (Valencia, Naval & Mandarin) and lemons (meyers) if anybody wants to come by and do some picking.

Last night at the grocery, navals were going for $1.25 EACH! I refuse to spend that for an orange

Is there any other way??

I always did that when I was a waitress. We'd put the coffee on and I'd let it go for about 30 seconds, then stick my cup into the stream coming straight from the coffee maker. It always made me laugh when people tried to "warn" me about how strong it would be. "That's the point!" I would respond

Yes

Yikes, we bought a 10# sack of Honeybells, before we came home, so we're really having to pig out on oranges. Really like the Honeybells, they peel easy, don't have that stringy stuff, and have a sweet orange taste.

Edit: we bought a 5# bag, plus the remainder of what we had already been eating on. Bag was as many as you could cram in the bag $12.84 tax included. Let me tell you we stretched that bag to the limit, it probably weighed close to 10# LOL

 

[Dean_Gretsch]

Have you tried the Cara Cara's? They are my favorites.

Oh yes indeed. And ultra strong coffee is undrinkable for me.
