Jennifer and Jim kept getting huge water bills. They knew beyond a doubt that the bills weren’t representative of their actual usage, and no matter how they tried to conserve, the high bills continued.
Although they could see nothing wrong, they had everything checked for leaks or problems: first the water meter, then outdoor pipes, indoor pipes, underground pipes, faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker, etc. — all to no avail. One day Jim was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept hearing water running downstairs. He finally tore himself from his sick bed to investigate, and stumbled onto the cause of such high water bills.
Apparently this had been happening all day long when they were not at home. Knowing that few would believe him, he taped a segment of the ‘problem’ for posterity.
[We would like to] show our appreciation for all that you do for J by making dinner for you and your family. I would deliver it at school on the date of your choice in the next few weeks.
We choose:
Beef in au us sauce, herb noodles, butter herbed seeded buns and dessert.
This is tonight! I told Beth that we need to document this occasion so she can share it with all her future students and parents. Who would have thought that being married to a teacher would have perks like this? It sure beats apples.
It’s worth sitting through the annoying “in a world…” narration to see the structure of an immense colony of ants. The scientists poured 10 tons of concrete down into an ant colony, waited for it to harden, and then spent weeks excavating the results.
“An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one orders a beer. The second orders half a beer. The third, a quarter of a beer. The bartender says “You’re all idiots”, and pours two beers.”
My in-laws have created a lead for some web design work for a company back in Effingham. The company seems very eager to improve their web presence to match their competition. They also said a couple of nice words about http://www.paulmeyerconstruction.com. I’m excited for more work but very nervous because this will be my first design for people I’m not related to. I suspect the same feeling when I begin to shoot photos for people outside of my family. There are so many technical aspects that I haven’t covered like contracts and pricing. I’ve read a lot today from websites that specialize in information for freelancers but I still am unsure about how to cover my bases and which ones I should cover.
I finally got word from our landlord and the buildings owners.
No grills of any kind are allowed due to a fire hazard.
She went on to say that those that have grills currently will be getting fines. That answer is disappointing. I’m sure we could wheel it outside when needed but that defeats the purpose.
Dying cheese orange originated in England many years ago, when the color of cheese fluctuated throughout the year with a cow’s diet and the subsequent variations in beta-carotene and fat content of her milk. In the winter, when cows ate hay or silage, milk would be whiter, whereas in the spring and summer, when milk was rich in beta-carotene from eating fresh grass, milk would be more yellow and richer in fat and flavor, which also meant that it tasted better.
Manufacturers, therefore, decided to standardize product year-round by making every batch of cheese the same color. The color that became the standard was an even more vibrant tone of that yellow shade, believing that they could somehow convey a high level of quality with a color that conveyed such positive attributes.
There are some lunch NOMMing opportunities that I will never pass up. Chicken tenders tossed in sauce with a pile of skinny, handcut, greasy fries, and bleu cheese is on that list.
