Vacation.... an act or an instance of vacating. If you go nowhere, it's a staycation.

Vacation means taking a break from your regular work or routine to relax.

I bought a whole slab of boneles rib-eye the other week. It was on sale for $3 a lb !
The slab was about 12lbs, so I paid $36 for the whole thing ! Love sales like that !

Yesterday and the day before, I had rib-eye beef stew (with red wine gravy), with the ends of the slab that I couldn't cut into steaks.

Got the remaining steaks in my freezer (should actually take a couple out for tomorrow), they are already spiced - I do that before freezing, so even when the meat does defrost, the spices soak into the meat.
Everybody should take the time to spice up meat before freezing.

I think (JMO) to the contrary....

Some spices and flavorings change when frozen. A food with a mix of seasonings may taste very different after freezing.

Some sites say it's OK though.

We've had some bad luck this month.Both our computers died.
The dishwasher cacked,then our A/C and furnace stopped working.My biggest worry was the furnace,A/C.
That can get very expensive.Well today was a good day.We had an electrician and a plumber in.
I bought a new dishwasher and the installation and the furnace A/C fix came in under $400 :)
Some mouse was chewing on our wires.Now we can get some new computers and we'll be ok.
Wife wants a sony or toshiba laptop,I am thinking Macbook .

You can buy 2 Toshibas for the price of a Sony or 3 for the price of a comparable Macbook.
What say you Jonesy?

Holy crap ... this makes sense.

Cheryl, Check and see if someone hijacked klein's account. :winks:


I was almost inclined to agree with your assessment, Hoax but then I looked at the title of the thread : Random Facts. This astonishing happening of Klein being right might just be explained by sheer randomness. Throw enough darts at a newspaper , you just might hit the listing of the stock that is going up that day. That sort of thing.

I never knew there were chocolate and lemon filled Twinkies. I tried the chocolate ones this weekend.....yuck! The rest of the box went to the golf course helpers. If you are a fan of chocolate, these are not rich & chocolatey. I couldn't find the lemon ones.

weird word eh
Am I using it right?
Inasmuch as my literary abilities are somewhat questionable,
I felt brave enough to attempt to use this word in a sentence.

It is three words.
I think the sentence should read;
In as much that my grammatical abilities are questionable, I feel brave enough to use "inasmuch" as a word in a sentence.

I always thought irregardless was not a word but...........

"Nonstandard" means the word is a colloquialism, not "incorrect" or not a word.
