I’m grateful that I have the skill set to do many of these kinds of tasks, and the internet makes it lots easier to both diagnose issues as well as find parts, because it can save a lot of money (our guess is we saved at least $600 between parts markup, labor and a weekend service call). The downside is that the weekend service call likely would have resulted in a much quicker repair, so probably only one night and day with a house in the 50s. If we lived in a colder clime, we wouldn’t have had that option anyway. At some point we should get our fireplaces fixed, which would be a kind of safety net, but we don’t like to add that kind of pollution to our already-polluted area. Everyone around us with a fireplace really just (over)uses it for ambiance as everyone has forced air heating.

Yes Sir, Google has saved my bacon on a number of occasions. If you are the least bit inclined, there is a fix to be found there more often than not. If you have a gas starter in your fireplaces, a gas insert might be the ticket for revamping your fireplaces to be more environmentally friendly. To run a new gas line to an existing masonry fireplace would likely be a nightmare. In any event, I'm glad you can put your woollies back into the bottom drawer.
 
Ironic, the first "spoken" lingustics to me was ASL, then come english, then german a bit, Korean just a tad with my Tae Kwon Do, some French in eighth grade just a froiegn language, and now with Spanish.
 
Hahaa...... I honestly cannot believe my friend is going to rent out, for the new Star Wars, and see the worthless movie ever hahaaa. :) Sure the trailer may seem cool but honestly it is just a gimmic anyways, show me Revenge of the Sith.

Yeah, but that crappy song has been around 24 years!! It also puts her on the edge of potentially unseating a record long held by THE BEATLES! If that has to happen it needs to be someone lots better than MC. ;)

FWIW it didn't make the top spot in the UK, and beaten by another wretched seasonal pop song that's been around for 35 years..

Both songs are nowhere to be seen in the China Hot 100.

Will someone kindly enlighten this reformed omnivore as to what 'chicken with crust' is?

I'm watching The Andy Griffith Show, and after Andy's then-current girlfriend brings lunch she cooked, Opie grabs a drumstick and exclaims that it's Andy's favorite, "chicken with crust!"

Now, I ate my fair share of chicken, including fried, but I've never heard of it with crust. Like pie crust, dough? That would be really weird. :thinking:

Maybe chicken pot pie? I am really familiar with that show, I have not seen it in a bit though.
 
Today mark, the almost 42nd wedding anniversarity of my folks being married.
My father passed in 2oo1, deeply knowing I would not be the same if he was still kicking it.
Honestly if I did get married with my ex from way back when, instead of getting on the high ride,
Mine would be so different. But no need to go off into "What if" sineraios.

I have seen in movies of where chicken does have some sort of crust on it.... Hmmm.. I kind of wonder if that is like old fashion or anything of that nature.

Yeah, I thought maybe it was some old-fashioned recipe/method, or perhaps southern (since TAGS was set in N Carolina), but I lived in the south--while still omni--and never heard of that. So I don't know!
 
I've been thinking about getting back in the saddle. Horse saddle that is. My girlfriend owns a horse and has indirectly influenced my decision to start riding again.
