Can you make spaghetti sauce by mixing tomato sauce and ketchup? I fully intend to find out in about five minutes. Will update.
Holy crap, we've got over 6" of snow so far and the stuff is STILL coming. That's the bad news. The good news is that because of it, my company is closed today and I get to stay home! So, who else gets an extra day off because of this weather?
Would you let your kid play virtual slots/roulette/blackjack? Or do you think it's a chocolate cigarette attempt to get people into the real thing when old enough?
Life is too Deep lately. Serious events, serious decisions, serious thoughts. I've been spewing my angst all over the boards over the past few weeks... but this is not the real me. So I'm going to take a few moments to get in touch with my...
Inspired by this thread. The prize is a one-year membership to DoMeBo! Here's one I did for a Philadelphia Eagles fan. Actually, for pretty much every fan of every Philadelphia team except the Phillies. I give them slack because their team has...
I'm surprised he's not here yet. Hasn't anyone invited him?
Not that I expect there to be a whole lot of confusion (especially since I think most people have sigs and/or avatars turned on), but my username has been changed to just plain old Diana. It was taken when I registered at the SDMB, and it didn't...
... when you put them on backwards. Bo, how I loath mornings!!!
My, we're a chatty bunch of coconuts.
Here in Central PA, I'm avoiding work. I've got old TV on, and I'm looking at clothes. It's raining, so I'm blaming my lack of productivity on that. Robin
I'm going to try to keep this going. Please add your word of the day. ultracrepidarian - One who speaks above his level of knowledge, experience or expertise. (from the Urban Dictionary)
It's not up yet, but you can see a screenshot here. My teacher wants me to make the menu into CSS buttons. I rather like it the way it is. So... what do y'all think? And if you think I should add a CSS menu, what should it look like? (preferably...
My late father in law had a small workshop in his basement. My brother in law got the table saw, I got all the rest: circular saw, power painter, jigsaw, band sander, oscilating hand sander, mitre boxes, and miscellaneous chisels, clamps, a couple...
Its got methane in its atmosphere!Using ESO's Very Large Telescope, astronomers have gained valuable new insights about the atmosphere of the dwarf planet Pluto. The scientists found unexpectedly large amounts of methane in the atmosphere, and also...
I had a little tin of black shoe polish. I vaguely remembering actually polishing a pair of black shoes with it, sometime in the last twelve months. Now, where could it be? I have a strange desire to polish my black flats, the ones I wear to drive...
A recent email from my pal Tuckerfan indicated there had been quite the keruffle over at The Board That Shall Not Be Named™ (henceforth: TBTSNBN™). He also noted that several unnamed persons had agitated for my reinstatement there. To them and...
Make an unsuccessful run for the White House!Meghan McCain's love life is on life support - thanks a lot, Dad. From the date who complimented her dinner order as a "maverick choice" to the guy who creepily remarked she would look hot in her mom's...
Snuggies! Fasta Pastas! Micro Fiber Miracle Cloth Now you can find all the HILARIOUSLY bad and stupid products out there! All made for people who are too stupid to cook pasta, find a robe-or their own assholes with both hands and a flashlight!
Anyone got a good source image to start with? Mangetout?
I've been intending to post a question like this on SDMB, but heck, I just decided it's going to be my first thread on here. I've got a bunch of clothes in good condition that I've been planning on donating. My sister mentioned that a friend of...
I'm not sure why, really. Could be PMS. Could be the vague, kept me home from work, feeling like crap but not sure why, Oh my friggin' god is that the flu coming on, type of crappyness that's happening. Could be the phone call with the woman I...
Well, it's March 1st, and I am ready for spring. (Let's pretend the weather reports I've heard from other areas of North America aren't happening...) So far I've resisted buying annuals, but I know I won't be able to hold out much longer. I need...
how many can we expect here? God knows the statistics published by the SDMB are crap (88,000 users? Riiiiight), so what's a better idea of the number of current, active users? 3,000? 2,000? 5,000? What percentage could be expected to make the...
I can say "buckeye" to my little heart's content here. I've rooted for the Buckeyes in the past and will probably do so again in the future. http://www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com/SportSelect.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=17300&KEY=&SPID=10408&SPSID=87743 I've...
A large majority of otherwise tough, cynical Dopers were generally known to dissolve into jello when faced with kitties. But a few posters did express disdain for this weakness, and supposedly we're harder edged around here. So, what is it to...
(Ganking would be taking.) I've got a huge number of avatars (including Batman, Hellsing, Transmetropolitan, Thundercats, and some misc), and since we can use them here, I'm sharing. http://s134.photobucket.com/albums/q103/silvercat17/icons/ -...
Anyone here a fan of Inkscape? http://www.inkscape.org/ -If not, why not give it a try - it's a vector graphics drawing program - what that means: you build your drawing from discrete shapes that can be arranged and altered on the canvas (so...
Well, it seemed natural, if some of us are gonna hang here that there's bound to be some Mumpers showing up and it's only right there should be a spot to be nice in, dammit! :lol: I cloned the hot tub, there was already a Rm 304 installed when...
Avatars are possible on this software, but they are currently disabled. I know they don't have them on the other board, but I think they work nicely, if not abused. (But note that if I had an avatar it would not necessarily be my real likeness).
Let's get this place rolling.... The school board has finally officially confirmed that my eight year old is "gifted". Having this information, I'm really not sure what to do with it. My wife, his teacher and myself all think it's a good idea...
My boy is fascinated with computers and creating stuff. I really think he would enjoy creating simple programs just for the mental gymnastics. What programming languages are in use these days that are 1) useful, 2) reasonably simple (does anyone...
Because I like a good online party. Betcha can't guess who I am on SDMB!!! And conversation: How do we pronounce the name of this board? Is it: DoomBoy Do me, Boy! Do me boy! Dome Bow
Hubby just brought me a snowball !! It's snowing !!! :o : thud :
I think we need a decent theme for the board, or, at least, an image distinct from the phpBB default. Domebo was a pre-clovis American civilization (it is also a contraction of the first two letters of three quite obvious words). Clearly, the...
Nice place. Looking good. Just testing things out. How's the edit work? ETA: fine. Just fine!
Where I work, a local minister always recites an invocation before every City Council meeting. The Mayor requests that everybody stand for the invocation. At the meetings I've attended, the invocations aren't short prayers; they approach the 90...
It seems that most other SDMB posters who have come over here have used the same username in both places, whereas I came up with a new one. So, how's about a puzzle. Can you guess what name I post under on the Dope? Here's some clues: On the...
I think, with the increase number of posters, and extra forum, that it's time to expand the moderatorship. Four people had volunteered to become moderators, excluding MsRobyn and danceswithcats, and I think that there's scope for two more...
